Found this via Facebook and it is quite shocking and thought I would share this here as well.

Yes, has it already been posted?

Is the video in the OP still not working?

Not sure what he's really trying to get at. I agree Porsche should rectify the situation, but moaning about it continually is not going to have the desired effect. Oddly, I have seen and heard this about Porsche in recent recent years, but have swiftly reminded myself that all other car manufacturers are the same.

If it was me, and money was no object, I would drive it / export it to Germany, drive to Stuttgart and set fire to it outside the Porsche factory (assuming it didn't set fire to itself on the way there).

Op fails for me.

Proper Friday job he's got there. Saying that, there are lots of faults with Porsches. Not a paragon of reliability, to say the least.

i genuinely feel for the guy. at first i was like yeah rich guy with 1st world problems.

After so many faults with a car there is only one option.

 

[Axeboy]

I feel for the guy to be honest.

While not quite the same, I am having similar issues. Basically, common sense is completely missing when money starts to come into it.

A customer should never have to get to that stage but they feel they have to.

What is going to get the desired effect then? He's been more than reasonable giving them 7 chances to sort the car, if they refuse to give his money back then the least he can do is give them some bad publicity, if it drives away even one potential customer then it's a victory.

Porsche should replace it. Terrible quality control, for a brand which is supposed to be all about engineering.

I don't get where this perception of reliability with Porsche comes from, they are far from it.

I would have been rejecting that car if that was me.

Did Peugeot do the electrics?

It's pretty harsh when companies treat customers like this after spending a significant amount of money on a product that is clearly faulty.

Thats it i'll never ever buy a brand new Porsche after seeing that.

Just build him a new car to the same spec or give him a full refund. It's obviously never been right from day one.

I thought the rules were more in the owners favour in the US?

 

[Rroff]

If he really did save up so hard to afford his dream car I can sympathise a lot.

Can anyone link a working vid?
