Description of the problem	My 2011 porsche panamera turbo suffered an engine failure due to design flaw. It was fortunate that i was not moving fast at the time, because engine power and hydraulic brake assist was lost. If this had happened at highway speeds it could easily have caused a fatal accident. The engine failure was due to faulty camshaft adjuster bolts which back-out and get sheared off by another moving part, and the debris cause catastrophic engine damage. This has been known to porsche for years and they have recalled the car for this problem in china only! The link below to reuters shows that porsche has recalled 14,571 cars in china for this defect, but none in the us or europe which are affected by the same issue. Porsche na performed an engine replacement at a discounted price for me on the condition that i would not speak to the media about it. This should be looked into closely as they are taking advantage of the low volume of sales of this engine and trying to sweep it under the rug. This could result in a dangerous accident and it is in fact more likely to occur at high rpm and speed than low speed. Http://uk. Reuters.
