problem #1

Jul 232004

Boxster 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 64,000 miles
Leaking coolant tank. The coolant tank on this vehicle has failed in numerous cars resulting in expensive repairs. Many owners I have contacted have experienced the same tank failure. I believe Porsche should fix these cars under a recall. This is clear case of a design deficency which will lead to overheating and failure of the engine. If this happens in traffic, the operater could be injured or killed. The tank must be replaced with an updated part from Porsche that has had the material changed.
