Description of the problem	I bought this car brand new from porsche and although it only has around 14,000 miles on it, i feel i must limit use of the car until it gets the glued coolant lines repaired. I have not had a failure yet but the risks of waiting until that happens are high and could easily go beyond the financial aspects and result in physical harm to myself, a passenger, or other motorists. The problem of catastrophic coolant line failure is well known with this model due to the use of glue rather than mechanical or welded connections. As an interim solution i plan to run the car with only water as the cooling liquid but due to winter freezing temperatures in my area, this will have to be undone in the fall. My biggest concern is that a coolant line failure on a public road and on a curve can lead to a multiple car accident for anyone following.
