Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON I-79(3 LANE HIGHWAY) AT 70 MPH WHEN I NOTICED A LARGE CLOUD OF SMOKE/STEAM FROM THE REAR OF MY CAR. I THEN NOTICED OTHER CARS PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THE COOLANT SPRAYING FROM MY CAR. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. OUNCE I WAS ABLE TO GET PORSCHE DEALER TO LOOK AT THE ISSUE, IT WAS INDICATED THAT MY COOLANT FITTINGS FAILED AND SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINE(KNOW ISSUE). *TR
