“The contact owns a 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera. The contact stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the steering wheel was turned to the right to follow a sharp bend in the road, and the vehicle turned too wide. The contact turned the steering wheel to the left to straighten the vehicle when the rear of the vehicle started to fishtail. The contact slowed down but had not observed any warning lights being illuminated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle started bouncing and shaking. The contact stated that the shaking was more violent while driving above 40 MPH. The contact had taken the vehicle to tire shop. The tire shop removed all four tires and inspected the tires and the rims and determined that the driver's side front and rear tire rims were severely bent. The tire shop advised the contact to replace all four wheels. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact had purchased the aftermarket wheels in December of 2024. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.”

“The door panels at the top wrap on my 2013 Porsche 911 and I understand this is a problem on Porsches 911 delivered between 2012 - 2019 A number of recommendations have been made for owners to glue the panel. This panel is designed to release in a side impact condition and any glue modifications to this panel would violate the designed operation. The manufacture is well aware of this issue and has replaced a number of them out of warranty for free, but you have to back them in a corner.”

“I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE AND NEARLY RAN OVER MY WIFE DUE TO THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD . THIS CAR HAS A VERY LIGHT COLORED DASH TOP. THE GARAGE WAS SHADED BUT THIS WAS A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY.”
