| Description of the problem | The dealer sold the vehicle knowing coolant pipes were not updated. Just had the vehicle serviced in april had to pay for maintenance that should have been done before purchase. Then 1 june the warning light came on "check coolant level low". Then the warning light came on "engine too hot". I was forced to pay for repairs when the mechanic received a bulletin from porsche about the problem. Contacted porsche and they stated the dealer brumos porsche should not have sold the car without updating the coolant pipes. I still had to pay over $2,000 dollars. |
