2016 PORSCHE MACAN Engine Problems

Y shaped plastic Coolant line cracks and leaks do to manufactures poor choice of materials! Resulting in engine overheating, and sever loss of coolant! Spraying entire engine compartment under hood white dried up coolant over spay spots with empty coolant reservoir and no heat. You would think that line would be made from an aluminum as it beads to with stand high heat temperatures from being against and engine.

I WAS INFORMED AT MY LAST SERVICE THAT I NEED TO HAVE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR REPLACED AND ALSO MY TIMING CHAIN COVER IS LEAKING OIL. I NOTICED ON NHTSA WEBSITE THAT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE DOCUMENTED. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR SIMILAR 2016 MACAN'S BUT MY VIN ISN'T LISTED. PART 573 SAFETY RECALL REPORT 17V-133. THERE IS ALSO A MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION (#D2000.1)RELATING TO THE OIL LEAK. NHTSA ID # 10182254. THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS AND UNCLEAR WHY THEY SHOULDN'T BE COVERED BY PORSCHE WHEN THEY ARE DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS.

THE EMERGENCY INDICATOR CAME ON WHILE I WAS OPERATING MY CAR. IT SAYS THE CAR IS TOO HOT. PULL OVER TO COOL DOWN' WHILE DRIVING IN A HIGHWAY. NO PRIOR INDICATION BEFORE THIS WARNING. WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE HOOD WHEN I PULLED OVER OFF THE HIGHWAY. THEN, INDICATOR SAYS 'LOW COOLANT. FILL COOLANT.'
