ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS V8 ENGINE THERE IS A COOLANT DISTRIBUTION TUBE THAT HAS COOLANT BARB PRESSED INTO THE CAST ALUMINUM DISTRIBUTION TUBE WITH ADHESIVE. WHILE DRIVING FROM WOR TO HOME, THE ADHESIVE FAILED 19MAR20 CAUSING THE BARB TO SLIP OUT OF THE TUBE ALLOWING LARGE AMOUNTS OF COOLANT TO GUSH OVER THE HOT EXHAUST AND OUT FROM UNDER THE CAYENNE. THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT RECOGNIZED LOW COOLANT LEVEL THE DASH PANEL FLAGGED "LOW COOLANT" AND THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER BEFORE OVERHEATING THE ENGINE. FORTUNATELY DUE TO THE TELEWORKING STATUS OF WHERE I WORK THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND THANKFULLY NO MOTORCYCLIST. I WOULD EXPECT MORE A $71,145 VEHICLE FROM PORSCHE EVEN AFTER 12 YEARS AND 140K MI.

THIS IS A PORSCHE CAYANNE 2008. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPEN IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, STREET OR HIGHWAY DRIVING. IT IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. THE WIPERS CAN STOP OPERATION FOR A VARIABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. AT TIMES I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR TO GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN. SOMETIMES THEY WILL REMAIN INOPERABLE FROM SECONDS TO 15-20 MINUTES, AND RESTART ON THEIR OWN. AT TIMES IF I AM DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL CUT OFF AND NOT RESTART OR RESTART AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, PREVENTING PROPER VISIBILITY.

THE CAR CUT OUT AS I WAS CROSSING A INTERSECTION WHILE IN MOTION LEAVING THE CAR DISABLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, LUCKILY OTHER DRIVERS SAW THE PROBLEM AND WENT AROUND ME. ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INCLUDING THE IGNITION LOCK FAULT. I TURNED IT OFF AND AFTER 2 MINUTES IT RESTARTED. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START, THE IGNITION LOCK FAULT CAME ON, AND THEN ALL OF THE OTHER WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND WAS LOCKED IN PARK. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE IN FEB 2017 WHEN A CORRODED WIRES WERE FOUND IN A MAIN BUNDLE OF WIRES IN THE DRIVERS FOOTWELL. THERE WAS NO WATER ON THAT AREA AND NOR HAS THERE BEEN ANY WATER ON THE CAR OR THE FOOTWELL. I HAVE HAD WEATHERTECH MATS IN PLACE HTE WHOLE TIME TO PREVENT THAT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT IT COULD GO DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION NOT JUST A STARTING ISSUE. I HAVE REVIEWED TECHNICAL BULLETIN NHTSA 10056337 WHICH DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATION FOR IMPLYING THAT THE LACK OF FEEDBACK H
