Porsche manufacturer refuses to replace vehicle and or repurchase vehicle stated I have to go to process and file suit. Of which I did and am now in litigation with porsche. I would advise anyone who' s considering buying one of there cars to throughly invest the comapny and previous complaints as well there process of warrnty items and customer complaints. They really dont care about there customers nad there district service managers tries to find fault with the customer and makes up excusses to cover problems with vehicles. No safety defect listed. *Ak
