PORSCHE ANNOUNCED THEIR "CAMPAIGN" (RECALL) ON NOVEMBER 14, 2017. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL PORSCHE DEALERS SINCE THAT TIME, AND THE PARTS FOR THIS RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ONE DEALER SAYS IT COULD BE "ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS" BEFORE THE PART IS AVAILABLE. THE AH10 CAMPAIGN SAYS THAT THIS SITUATION CAN CAUSE A FIRE! IS THIS WHAT PORSCHE IS WAITING FOR? SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET THEM TO PRODUCE THE PARTS NECESSARY TO PREVENT SIGNIFICANT INJURY OR DEATH.

THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V-576) FOR THE FUEL FLANGE ON MY VEHICLE. I PREVIOUSLY PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR AND CONTACTED BOTH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT BEING REIMBURSED AND WAS TOLD THEY NOTIFY ME ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT. I PAID $1995 AND NO ONE WANTS TO DISCUSS REPAYMENT WITH ME. HOW DO I RECOUP MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR THIS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT? I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS FOR THIS REPAIR.

CAR WAS BOUGHT AS CERTIFIED PORSCHE IN MAR 2011 WITH 66K MILES; CURRENT MILES 165K MILES; DRIVEN APPROX. FOR 100K MILES IN 6 YEARS. ENGINE CLICKING NOISE WAS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE "F" CYN. WALLS ARE SCORED AND ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. CHECKED ON-LINE FOR THIS CONDITION WITH OTHER V-8 PORSCHE OWNERS TO FIND THAT IT'S VERY COMMON. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN ISSUE AND SAFETY WISE ( NO POWER, MISS FIRING AND STALLING). A $100K NEW SHOULD NOT HAVE A V-8 ENGINE THAT HAS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS WORTH LESS AT SUCH LOW MILES.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WITHOUT WARNING LUCKILY IT HAPPENED TO MY YOUNG SON SO HE COULD GET OUT AND GET IN FROM OTHER DOOR TO DRIVE TO DEALER. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE NEW DOOR LOCK, ACCORDING TO DEALER SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO FEW CARS.IN THE PAST. MY CONCERN IS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IS IT WAS ME OR MY WIFE , WE ARE NOT FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO GET OUT FROM OTHER DOORS. WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY WHEN YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DOOR LOCKS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR OLDER MODELS THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE WAY TO OPEN DRIVERSIDE DOOR MANUALLY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. *TR
