Strong fuel smell in rear of vehicle, Upon further inspection, it was discovered that a hard fuel line connection was leaking from a fitting on top of a very hot engine and very close to a very hot manifold. Leak was very pronounced and there was strong evidence that this leak and been dropping for some time. (staining of engine) Vehicle was brought in to dealer service for in fact confirmation of leak. There were no warning lights or CEL's whatsoever. Only a strong fuel smell in rear of vehicle. My felling is this could have been a disaster for anyone operating the vehicle or a passenger, had the dripping fuel ignited on the hot engine. Absolutely worst place to put a fuel line connection.

Rear Tailight internal stress cracks causing condensation moisture and dust buildup. Dealer says this is normal, vehicle is only 2 years old, 20k miles and under warranty. Seems like there is a seal issue with the moisture and dust due to the internal cracks of the taillights. I've read on Rennlist and seen on YouTube that this is occurring for others as well that own 992 911's. The taillights were inspected by two dealers, one said it was normal but did not mention cracks, another dealer confirmed it was due to "stress cracks" inside the taillights but that this is normal. The manufacturer (Porsche North America) was contacted and responded that since 2 dealers could not find an issue a replacement was not warranted. I've had numerous other faults with the vehicle in 2 years of ownership, also having to replace the front windshield due to delamination of the windshield seals but I was not included in the recall that affected other owners with the same issue.

On September 23, 2023, in the late afternoon, the control arm of my Porsche 911 (front driver side) snapped while making a routine stop at a stop sign in a residential neighborhood, driving at approximately 25mph. There was smoke that came from the front driver side wheel as the control arm had snapped and that wheel was being dragged. No warning lamps or error messages were displayed on my vehicle dashboard prior to this malfunction. I gave direction to the dealership for a thorough review of the damage. The shop repairmen indicated that the control arm had snapped along with other components as a result, and they provided an estimated quote for the necessary repairs. However, when I inquired about the possibility of the damage being caused by an external object, the shop foreman was unable to identify any such impact. Seeking a second opinion, I decided to take my car to an independent shop for a more in-depth assessment. Surprisingly, they too were unable to find any evidence of an impact that would have led to the control arm failure. Their theory suggested a potential quality or parts issue as the root cause. Fortunately, there were no injuries as the road was not in heavy use, however at highway speeds this could've caused fatal injuries.

Is 10 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2023 and 2026, roughly 3 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
