sucks for you!

but probably even sucks way more for Porsche (since stuff like that spreads like a wildfire online)

hope things get sorted out well in the end!

 

I can't imagine how horrible that is, but...

 

Sorry to hear this bud. But as stated Porsche did have some early issues with the PDK, all software. It'll be fixed soon, rest assured!

 

just had to giggle a bit...

that`s what sales guys always say - no matter what happened

 

That is some serious business bro! What an amazing 991 S by the way exactly how I would spec mine out. A BIG REP to Champion Porsche for taking care of you! There is no better feeling than to have a dealer stand right there by you in the fight those are the kind of guys you WANT to buy from! Enjoy in the best of health!

 

I am picking up my 991S in 10 days, and THAT is my biggest fear... I would dump the car right then and there, trade it for something else, or get my money back... Anything short of that, and my dealer would have a greater issue on hand... I would totally refuse to go through this experience for such an expensive car, 2 miles down the road post PDI... You are a patient man... I had an oil leak in my 2011 GT3, a day or two post delivery, gave them 24 hours to sort it out, while I sat there with the mechanics for the most part... And I said, "I experience this again, you PDI me another car, period."

 

Agreed. your car is hot looking but I would get another one.

 

Please check the build date. Must have been completed last Oktoberfest!

 

Did I sell that car? No. Do I know the OP? No. Do I tell people what they want to hear just to make a sale? I refer you to my previous 10k+ posts you idiot.

Suck it up ECB, if it wasn't for SALES people the world would come to a grinding hault.

 

Well Porsche managed to get the transmission from Atlanta to Champion very quickly so I am pleased about that. They were very responsive and timely which says a lot. I was surprised they had a new transmission available in Atlanta. I should have the car back soon.

I appreciate everybody's perspective on this and definitely picked up a few helpful hints. I requested that Porsche NA back this repair by providing an extended warranty. It seems a reasonable sign of good faith for them to provide an extended warranty when there has been such a significant mechanical failure in such a short time. I have a friend who had a transmission fail in a GM SUV after 800 miles. In addition to repairing the transmission, GM provided an extended warranty 7 year/100000k miles without being asked. If GM can do this on a 40k SUV then I hope Porsche will step up and do the same.

I am hopeful the new transmission solves the problem and that I will have a trouble free Porsche ownership experience. Time will tell.
