bear924 Posted 28July, 2018 Report Share Posted 28July, 2018 Was looking for some information on my 911 and came across this: Thread with more information if anyone is interested https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/panamera/372594-panamera-breaks-two-frame-welds-defective.html Seems as if the owner won their case via America's lemon laws. Doesn't make me want to run out and buy a Panamera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted 28July, 2018 Report Share Posted 28July, 2018 Yes, I watched the whole lot while waiting for F1 qualifying to start. Disappointing lack of positive response from Porsche, obviously lawyer-controlled and out-waiting the plaintiff. She's a very smart, determined person who is being frustrated by Porsche's delaying and obfuscating tactics. Shameful that it should come to this.

withers Posted 8August, 2018 Report Share Posted 8August, 2018 This is absolutely disgraceful. I was looking up Panameras as the price is dropping thinking it would be a good family car alternative once I no longer have to drag a pram and porta cot about! After seeing that tho - I dont think so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has been a while, we've still got our 987S that we discussed 4 1/2 years ago (but looking to upgrade to a 981) and I've now got a 996.2 C2 Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 8August, 2018 Report Share Posted 8August, 2018 From the headline I expected to see the car in 2 halves... bit of an over exaggeration. Yes it is bad but in the age of the internet we would of heard of any other weld failures surely! Porsche's response well I am not sure, I think there could be more going on here than stated? Either way it would not stop me buying a Panamera. The truth will come out eventually, but as people have said lawyers can stymy a lot of things and muddy the waters.....

Oh nice one on the 987. Has it mostly been trouble free for you? Love the 981. But I need a back seat now so it's out of the Q for some time into the future. But I won't be happy till I have a 911 at some point I think! That's what has me call in sometimes! I think a 996 would be a good choice for me too. 6 hours ago, ANF said: From the headline I expected to see the car in 2 halves... bit of an over exaggeration.

I thought that too re over exaggerating the split in half bit. . I think every car manufacturer would behave similarly too. Length eise not sure a Pan would fit in our garage!

ANF Posted 9August, 2018 Report Share Posted 9August, 2018 Yes @amanda you are probably right, it is all big business..... manufacturers only let on issues when there is enough "out cry", one case (so far) does not warrant that yet.... You must have a small garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
