THE ENGINE BEGAN TO FAIL WHILE MOVING ON A CITY STREET AND GAVE WARNINGS OF LOST HYDRAULIC ASSIST AMONG OTHERS. THE CAR WAS ROLLED BACK INTO A DRIVEWAY AND IT WAS TOWED TO A PORSCHE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE ENGINE WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE FAILED DUE TO A CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER BOLT SHEARING OFF. THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW AND LEADS TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT ANY WARNING.

Is 2 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2015 and 2015, roughly 2 a year, which is more 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.
