Fuel/propulsion system

1 report
“Purchased 2024 carrera S used (1 other owner) no car fax from Porsche down town LA in Dec. in January with around 10k miles. Car is driven just on weekends and now has 12k miles. Two days ago smelled strong raw gas smell and immediately took to Porsche Hawthorne and they confirmed leak in fuel line which as I am reading seem more common and very concerning due to risk of fire - appears a know thing amongst Porsche yet they don’t do anything preventatively about it. They also found front axel lift broken and need to replace cylinder - all on a 2 yr old car with very low mileage.”

It entered limp mode with severe deceleration and displayed a red engine control error, forcing an emergency lane change across traffic to reach a parking lot. After stopping, an active and significant fluid leak was observed trailing from the engine compartment, creating a fire risk. The 12-volt electrical system then died and the vehicle required a jump-start. After power was restored, the transmission would not engage Park and displayed "P not available. Park on level ground only," creating a rollaway risk. The vehicle was occupied by the driver, a passenger who was approximately [XXX] pregnant, and two small children. The three distinct safety failures were the sudden loss of motive power at highway speed, the active fluid leak with fire risk, and the loss of Park capability after the electrical failure. Warning messages appeared during the event as described. The vehicle remains at the authorized dealer…”
