Complaint
1995
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
SOME WIRE INSULATION HAS BECOME BRITTLE AND BROKEN AWAY, EXPOSING BARE WIRES. AS THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE, I FEEL AN INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED. THE EFFECTED AREA IS WITHIN THE WIRE HARNESS, NEAR THE ALTERNATOR. ALTHOUGH IM HAVING MY CAR REPAIRED AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP, A NUMBER OF PORSCHE DEALERS (VERIFIED BY AN INTERNET PORSCHE BOARD AND MY MECHANIC) HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS, AND HAVE REPLACED HARNESSES WITH A NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION.
1995
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN
ENGINE WIRING HARNESS EXHIBITS DRY ROT AND INSULATION BREAKDOWN (CRACKS) THROUGHOUT. THIS MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO THE FAILURE OF AN ENGINE COOLING FAN. MECHANIC (A PORSCHE CERTIFIED MASTER TECNHICIAN) EXPLAINS THAT THIS CONDITION WILL BE PROGRESSIVE, WILL LIKELY CAUSE DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS IN THE SHORT-TERM, AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. HE THUS RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF AROUND $1800. STEVE CHAN OF NHTSA IS COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT A PATTERN OF WIRING HARNESS DEFECTS THAT AFFECTED 1995 PORSCHE MODELS. PORSCHE APPARENTLY SWITCHED SUPPLIERS THE FOLLOWING YEAR. PLEASE FORWARD THIS CASE TO HIM. *AK
