2007 Porsche 911 GT3 Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	976575
Internal NHTSA #	10509136
Manufacurer	Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
Brand	PORSCHE
Model	911 GT3
Model Year	2007
File date	11/04/12
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	A coolant hose press fitting which is apparently glued into the engine block lost adhesion and disconnected. This resulted in a complete loss of coolant and a corresponding loss of control due to hot, slippery coolant coating the rear wheels of the car and road surface. Car spun and left the road but fortunately did not hit anything. Coolant spill did impact other motorists who spun out on the coolant but did not crash. My research indicates that this is a common, systemic problem with this model engine and appears to be a dangerous defect in the engine construction. I did contact porsche twice but there has not been a response. I did have all the coolant fittings removed, cleaned and welded in. No problem since.
