Description of the problem	The engine began to fail while moving on a city street and gave warnings of lost hydraulic assist among others. The car was rolled back into a driveway and it was towed to a porsche dealership where the engine was determined to have failed due to a camshaft adjuster bolt shearing off. This is a known design flaw and leads to catastrophic engine failure without any warning. If i had been on the highway at the time it could have caused a serious accident due to loss of power steering and hydraulic brake assist. Porsche has recalled this problem in china only : http://www. Reuters. Com/article/2015/02/07/porsche-china-recall-idusl4n0vh06c20150207 porsche replaced my engine for less than the total cost with a verbal request that i do not talk about it on social media. I believe this could be a safety hazard and likely affects all 2009-2011 panamera and cayenne v8 engines of all types.
