WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LANE, AT A SHOPPING CENTER WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, READY TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY FELT AS IF IT LOCKED DOWN BRAKES FAILED AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED OUT OF MY CONTROL HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE PARKED ACROSS A DIVIDER. I HAD NO CONTROL OF STEERING OR BRAKES .. THE CAR FLASHED A POWER STEERING FAILURE.. AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, AND MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $8,000 IN DAMAGES. I HAD ASKED FOR DATA REPORT THAT PORSCHE EXTRACTED FROM MY CAR WITH NO RESPONSE.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2017 Porsche Macan Gts verdict →
