20250826FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Metallic Fuel line located on top of the engine suddenly started leaking. Previous time I drove the car there was no indication of a gasoline leak or odor. There were no warnings or indications of an impending leak until gasoline was emitted from the line. Fortunately when the leak started I was only driving locally and upon returning to my house a raw gasoline odor was apparent at the back of the car. Had I been driving up to Monterey which is a 6 hr. drive I’ve done several times before a gasoline leak over the engine would of likely caused a fire that would have been extremely hazardous. The car was towed into the dealer as it was not even safe for a 5 mile drive. The dealer reported they are seeing many cars with the safe defect. Also this issue has been reported on [XXX] a Porsche enthusiast car forum. [XXX] The dealer corrected the problem and the manufactured is aware. Fortunately for me it occurred before the warranty expires in a few months otherwise the repair cost woul

20250721FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

String gas odor while driving. Upon inspection it was determined that a fuel line was leaking on top of the engine which requires an engine out repair. There are several other people discussing the same issue of Rennlist.com a Porsche enthusiast site. Seems to be a problem.

20250127EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Rear Tailight internal stress cracks causing condensation moisture and dust buildup. Dealer says this is normal, vehicle is only 2 years old, 20k miles and under warranty. Seems like there is a seal issue with the moisture and dust due to the internal cracks of the taillights. I've read on Rennlist and seen on YouTube that this is occurring for others as well that own 992 911's. The taillights were inspected by two dealers, one said it was normal but did not mention cracks, another dealer confirmed it was due to "stress cracks" inside the taillights but that this is normal. The manufacturer (Porsche North America) was contacted and responded that since 2 dealers could not find an issue a replacement was not warranted. I've had numerous other faults with the vehicle in 2 years of ownership, also having to replace the front windshield due to delamination of the windshield seals but I was not included in the recall that affected other owners with the same issue.

20241214FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Massive fuel leak. Appears to be fairly common amongst other owners. Required engine out to repair.

20241214FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

A leak in a high pressure fuel line was releasing gas on top of the motor. I smelled gas, and had vehicle towed to the dealership where I purchased the car. The dealership has confirmed the cause of the fuel leak and ordered the replacement fuel line. Since it’s a leak in this fuel line, NO check engine lights or other warnings flagged the problem. In my opinion, this is a significant safety problem that could lead to a fire and potential injury.

20240415BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS

The cameras for the surround view incl backup and front and side cameras intermittent stop working, sometimes no camera is working, sometimes one or more are working randomly. Contacted Porsche NorthAmerica and even the topic is all over the Internet forums already Porsche denied that there is an issue. Talked to Porsche Dealership and they also denied that there is an issue. The backup camera and surround view on my car is not working, sometimes several days in a row, sometimes just for one drive, sometimes partly. I report this because I believe that the backup camera and surround view is a safety feature and not just a comfort feature. If the car is equipped with such feature it should work and the car manufacture should fi software or other issues related to it like other safety features.

20240119SUSPENSION

On September 23, 2023, in the late afternoon, the control arm of my Porsche 911 (front driver side) snapped while making a routine stop at a stop sign in a residential neighborhood, driving at approximately 25mph. There was smoke that came from the front driver side wheel as the control arm had snapped and that wheel was being dragged. No warning lamps or error messages were displayed on my vehicle dashboard prior to this malfunction. I gave direction to the dealership for a thorough review of the damage. The shop repairmen indicated that the control arm had snapped along with other components as a result, and they provided an estimated quote for the necessary repairs. However, when I inquired about the possibility of the damage being caused by an external object, the shop foreman was unable to identify any such impact. Seeking a second opinion, I decided to take my car to an independent shop for a more in-depth assessment. Surprisingly, they too were unable to find any evidence o

I have a nearly brand new 2022 Porsche 911 GTS with around 3000 miles on it. Around 3am on 4/16/23, I was driving on highway and experienced serious engine failure. Put me and other drivers driving on the highway in a life threatening situation. I or anyone who is driving could be killed while my car stopped on highway and later on a local road. It gave me insomia, paranoidism, trauma etc. In details, when the engine first failed, the speed was decreasing, I stepped on gas but there is no response from the car, the speed still decelerated until I made my way to the shoulder of highway. It finally completely stopped, I failed to start engine for few time and in the mean time the car had burning smell. I waited for 5-10 mins, then tried to restart the engine, car was started but it felt very weak and was really hard to control and steer. I stepped on gas but it's not accelerating. The engine kept failing and lights went out, I can’s see the road clearly and can't really steer the car
