Tires · reported Dec 2, 2021
Driving gently at 50mph down a smooth road the tire suddenly deflated; I pulled over to swap it out for the spare. On examination of the tire the inner side wall delaminated in 2 places, I could find no reason for the failure. There are no screws or nails or other damage that would explain why it deflated other than the sidewall delaminating. The car had an oil change 4 days before the tire incident and the tire was examined and found to be at the correct pressure. The rubber around the failures seems soft and tears easily. I have a matching set of these tires on my car, same brand and type. I…
Equipment · at 15,375 miles · reported Aug 13, 2010
The car battery exploded when I turned the ignition key. The car is always parked in the garage when not in use. As the car has very low mileage, about $15k miles over a period of ten years, and I AM the original owner. When the car was not in use the car was connected to a smart charger, manufactured and recommended by the car manufacturer. (The battery was also made by porsche) the charger was disconnected first before the car was being started, like I always do. After the explosion, my garage was filled with the fume from the battery, and the battery fluid started pouring out on the garage…

Engine and Engine Cooling · reported Sep 9, 2008
It has come to my attention, that there have been a significant number of engine failures on 1998-2004 porsche boxsters,911's, and 911 carreras. My understanding is that the cylinder blocks were porous on the earlier years and the intermediate shaft fails from 1999 up. In either case< the entire engine must be replaced at a cost of $16,000. I surveyed rwo porsche dealers in metro detroit. One dealer has replaced four engines this summer while the other is currently replacing one. If you check various porsche forums, chatrooms etc you will find that this is a fairly common problem. Porsche will…
