| Description of the problem | my car began leaking coolant. After towing my car to the repair shop i was told my metal coolant fittings are held in with epoxy and one of them had failed. To repair this is a $6000. 00 job. After calling the dealer i found out this is a fairly common problem but that porsche is unwilling to do anything to help the car owners pay for it at this time. I think any time you have a common problem that is that expensive to fix you should at help a little with that problem. |
