Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT A DRIVERS EDUCATION EVENT AT WATKINS GLEN RACE TRACK, A COOLANT FITTING CAME APART AND OUT OF ITS HOUSING RELEASING ABOUT 3-4 GALLONS OF COOLANT ONTO THE TRACK. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. SINCE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY PORSCHE AGREED TO COVER THE FAILURE UNDER GOOD WILL AND A NEW HOUSING (SAME DESIGN) WAS INSTALLED BY THE LOCAL PORSCHE DEALER. HOWEVER, IN OCTOBER, 2011 WHILE DRIVING AT ANOTHER DRIVERS EDUCATION EVENT, THE SAME FITTING FAILED. THIS TIME 3 CARS FOLLOWING ME SLID OFF THE TRACK DUE TO THE COOLANT WITH ONE CRASHING INTO ANOTHER. ONE CAR WAS TOTALED AND THE OTHER SERIOUSLY DAMAGED. *TR
