well the story goes back to last week where i was in a Bubble Tea shop having some of my beloved Green Apple Green Tea (highly recommanded by the way)... and then when i came out to start the car at 2am in about -20 degrees weather the car's Steering Lock would not unlock... no matter what i did and how hard i tried to unlock it, it just wouldn't do... i then got the car towed to Porsche where they are, after one week, still trying to figure out what the problem is!!! the steering unlocked but the car just wouldn't start because the computer thinks the steering is still locked... my service adviser said this is the first case EVER in North America and PCNA is scraching their heads right now... any ideas to why this is happening??? the dealer switched every computer possible and still cannot find the source of the problem... oh well... i really sure hope this does not happen to any 6speeders... it sucks to be me!!!

 

That is weird. Keep us posted. I've never been in weather that cold.

 

The wheel lock got me stranded once. After calling roadside and local dealer, I managed to free the wheel myself and avoided a tow to dealer.

Maybe the ignition needs to be changed? I'd leave it to the dealer. They'll sort it out or buy your car back!

 

i just came back from the dealer... they've practically switched every computer known to men and the ignition of course with another perfectly fine C2S... and the result is the same... Steering Lock Warning with no ignition and no luck... they've contacted Germany for more info and we'll hear more about it later on this week... i have talked to my sales representitive and he said if the car cannot be fixed i will have to pick out a new car... but i was wondering since the car is Leased... is there a possibility to end it under these circumstances???

 

I would not freaking unlock either if you left me out in -20 degree weather!

 

LMAO!!

 

well Alan, it's time for another car! I assume it has passed the 1500 km benchmark. LOL

 

your Z06 is coming soon right

 

End the lease and get another 996 turbo S.

 

Yes Ken and Raymond... hopefully i can end the Lease that way i didn't loose anymoney on this car and the last car and the car before the last car lol... and 03-turbo911 is a good idea but i want to wait for the 997 GT3 and drive the Z06 in the mean while maybe...

 

Definitely drive the Z06 if you can find one. Probably my next car. Maybe even a plain Jane C6 ragtop.
