Consumer Description

THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAD CATASTROPHIC COOLANT FAILURE. A HOSE ON MY COOLANT SYSTEM POPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ALL OF THE COOLANT TO GUSH OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, THE CAR DID SLIP A BIT I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS ISSUE HAPPENS TO 911 TURBO'S OFTEN DUE TO THE FACT THAT 8 HOSES WERE ATTACHED ONLY WITH A GLUE THAT CAN GIVE OUT AT ANY TIME. MY LOCAL PORSCHE SHOP WANTS $3000 TO DROP THE MOTOR AND REPAIR/FIX THE 8 HOSES. FROM MY READING ONLINE THIS ISSUE HAPPENS OFTEN TO THIS MOTOR IN CARS FROM 2001-2013. *TR
