What owners report
My vehicle is currently leaking raw gasoline and active smoke is coming out from the fuel pump assembly directly beneath the rear passenger seat. This is the exact, identical catastrophic failure mechanism outlined in federal safety recalls NHTSA Campaign 20V077000 (Recall ALA2) and 17V-289 (Recall AH06).My vehicle is completely undrivable and constitutes an immediate fire hazard. While a local dealer stated my specific VIN is not currently showing on their active recall database, this is an identical manifestation of the fuel filter flange cracking defect. as this vehicle constitutes a severe risk to life and property.
Headlight casing is cracked throughout. Micro cracks
Fuel smell filling the cabin due to cracked fuel pump. Likely associated with fuel pump cover recall notice (recall code AH06) Dealerships refused coverage.
My 2017 Porsche Macan has a Timing Chain Cover Bolt Failure which has caused leaking oil and may lead to total loss of oil and engine failure. This is a known documented design and manufacturing defect affecting the 3.0L and 3.6L engines. The manufacturers original aluminum bolts for the cover suffer from premature failure leading them to break. Porsche has recognized this widespread defect and problem by issuing a technical service bulletin for this issue. Porsche has not issued a recall to fix this problem. I have contacted a Porsche dealer to address this problem but they refused to make the repair without my paying the cost to repair their defect.
this is in regards to NHTSA TSB #ATI-1907. i had this issue repaired by porsche san antonio for over 1k. the problem came back and porsche is trying to charge me again saying there is a design flaw they are aware of but cannot perform work under warranty. This is very unfair and makes me think that everytime it rains i cant drive my car because ill have to spend another 1k for a rear camera and parking sensor fail. I hope i can get any kind of help or visibility on this problem. It is not only unsafe, but porsche as a brand has such bad customer service and no one wants to help
