| Description of the problem | on the 2013 boxster the tailpipe can burn your leg if you're not carefully when you go to open the rear trunk. It my view that the tailpipe extend to long from the bumper of the car and therefore, when someone goes to open the trunk your leg will touch the tailpipe. My wife was burn on her leg from the tailpipe. I made a complaint to north america porsche. I got the feeling from the senior rep that it happen and so what. I someone can take look at this issue and see if something can be done about this. |
