Picked up my Turbo S this past February and it has been problematic since day 1. Issues:

1. At 1400 miles, car would overheat

2. At 1600 miles, car would overheat. Local dealer had to engage tech's from PCNA

3. Squeaking PCCB brakes started at 2200 miles

4. At 5500 miles, there is a loud whoosh sound coming from rear. I don't think its the BOV. At dealer now.

5. At 5500 miles, Transmission feels lethargic- Under review at dealer now

6. At 5500 miles, Acceleration is not as brutal, so back at the dealer now

7. At 5500 miles- front headlamp assembly pop's out on test drive due to dealer testing squeaky brakes.

I am blown away that a brand new car, especially in this price range can have this many issues.

Can anyone offer any advice on next steps??

 

Have you kept an eye on the boost gauge? Sounds like your intake hose is not connected properly, that creates a "whooshing" sound and loss of power, which give the feeling of a sluggish transmission. Mine was defective from the factory, so even though they reattached it, it popped off again. They eventually replaced the part and all is good now!

If the car was overheating with so little miles, I wonder if the intercoolers are working properly, maybe the hoses are loose? What kind of climate are you driving it in? Very aggressive driving?

Regarding the rest of the items, the headlamp assembly might have been taken off during a previous dealer service. Especially if they were searching for a cause of the overheating, they probably removed the headlights and bumper. The tech might not have tightened it correctly when they reinstalled it. It happens.

PCCB brakes squeak a lot. Unfortunately, that's how they are. Not a Porsche issue, just the nature of carbon ceramic brakes on any car.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

 

I have 14 turbo s My car is running almost 10k miles ,,

No issues at all even though my country is very hot which is not a positive factor for turbo..

The max temperature in summer is around 118 F .. And the car is running good

 

10k Miles on my 2014 991 TTS and zero mechanical issues even with full bolt ons. Love the car. Best car I have ever owned.

 

At 3800 miles, my A/C died, and it's going in for service next week, but I saw the refrigerant leak out one day from the front end while sitting at a light. Think it's just a hose or a fitting. Other than that, and the noisy brakes, all fine.

 

Almost 8k miles, bullet proof
The only problem is just too fast and sounds a lot better vs brand new

 

God bless you all. If i continue to have these on-going issues- I may end up unloading this.

 

Excellent car, other then a few factory recalls and oil changes the car has had zero problems. My best car to date also.

 

This is Turbo #7 - All purchased new and DD at 12k miles per year. Only problems were the clutch slave (2005 TT) and a bad thermostat (2007 TT). Amazingly reliable car considering I only have 2 speeds when I drive - stop and full.

My 2014 TT has 20k miles and only repair was to update the PCM software and routine maintenance (Back tires, oil change, wipers)

Runs like a champ

 

Would anyone agree this could perhaps be a lemon? I am not sure if lemon law would work in my situation.

 

Good so far, just needed a PCM software update to fix a resetting problem. The rest of maintenance has been normal wear and tear from track and dragstrip. I daily drive it and have 10,400 miles on it now. I put 7000 of them on there in the last 14 months since I owned it. Knocking on wood now.

 

I've owned multiple high mileage P-cars. My old 996TT is/was dead nuts reliable not even 1 rattle/squeak after years of use. The new owner is still enjoying it and it must be over 70K miles now.

OP sorry to hear about your car's troubles. Not very Porsche like especially on a new model.

 

Agreed. I sense even PCNA is slow to react on. Look at this crap:



I am being told a faulty latch. In my belief, It looks to be a poor Xpel install by Jack Daniels Porsche. Jack Daniels Porsche would not even furnish me with a ****in loaner car.

 

Dang. Headlight falling out is definitely not Porsche's standard. It makes sense though if it was removed for PPF install and not latched properly when reinstalled.

 

GSC I sent you PM
