2012 Porsche 911 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING Failure Complaint (#b15343)

2012 Porsche 911

  • Date of Incident: Sep-21, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Oct-22, 2024
  • Failed components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Tail light fall off the car while driving, catching it dangling from the car holding by only one wire. Upon inspection, they came off due to a broken plastic lug that was holding the taillights together. It appears that porsche changed the taillight mounting design in the 991 after the 2013 model year, adding a metal piece to keep it together even after the plastic cracks, melts, or fails. Mine is 2012 so it will cost us a fortune for get it fixed, for something it was clearly a design failure from the beginning.
