| Description of the problem | The horn on my 2011 porsche panamera stopped working. I did not know until i needed to use it to avoid a potential accident. The dealer told me the problem is very common on porsche's with headlight washers. The washer system apparently leaks behind the headlights where the horns sit. Appears to be a problem known by porsche that, if true, is unquestionably a design defect and a safety concern. Repair required actually replacing the horns. |
