Engine · reported Sep 4, 2026

COMPONENT THAT FAILED: A high-pressure fuel injector (cylinder 2). The failed injector and engine wiring harness are available for inspection on request. The vehicle is currently at an authorized dealer. WHAT HAPPENED: While driving at approximately 35-45 mph under light throttle in normal traffic, the engine began misfiring without warning. The misfire worsened rapidly over several seconds and the engine ran roughly enough that I pulled off the road. A strong burning smell was present immediately afterward. The vehicle has continued to misfire since. SAFETY RISK: The failure caused a sudden…

Engine · reported Aug 28, 2026

Loss of power due to Injectors failure on acceleration. A reproducible pattern on HWY merges or passes for example. This is an issue that has been identified and experienced by other Porsche 992/718 owners. Issue discussed in the following thread: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Exterior Lighting · reported Apr 27, 2026

Both my rear break lights are showing stress cracks from movement of the frame of the body. There are other references to this happening online from other owners and it's a manufacturer defect. I brought to the dealer and was told that they should be replaced for $3000 each as they are allowing water to intrude and will cause a shorting out of the brake lights. No brake lights would be a major hazard. The cracks in both lights were not due to impacts. It is a design issue.

Unknown or Other · reported Mar 17, 2026

I am writing to express my significant frustration regarding the handling of NHTSA Recall 25V896. I dropped off my vehicle several weeks ago following the recall notice, only to be informed later that the software remedy is not expected until Q2 2026. It is unacceptable to request that customers surrender their vehicles for a recall when the manufacturer is not yet prepared to provide the necessary service or solution.

Electrical System · reported Feb 11, 2020

My 2020 porsche 911 was two days old when I get a "ignition lock error-service required". The next day the tachometer stopped working. After the dealer fixed the problem, I drove home and park the car for two days. The next day the car would not start. I was told by the dealer this car has many problems with it's computer which makes the car unsafe because lots of its functions are computer controlled. I also just received a recall no.19v-878.
