| 1999 | SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY | AIRBAG WARNING LAMP STAYING ON DUE TO A POORLY DESIGNED SENSOR SYSTEM THAT RELIES ON SEAT BELT BUCKLE AND GROUNDING SYSTEM ELECTRICAL RESISTANCES BEING INCREDIBLY STABLE OVER TIME. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY REDESIGNED SEAT BELT RECEPTACLES AND REPLACING WIRES. IF YOU DON'T FIX THIS PROBLEM, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF YOU HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU WANT TO CLEAR THIS LAMP INDICATION, YOU MUST SHELL OUT $500 TO $1500 TO DO SO. HOW DOES PORSCHE HAVE THE NERVE TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS FOR AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW ON THEIR PART WHICH LEADS TO AN AIRBAG WARNING LAMP BEING ILLUMINATED, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT CORRECTED. MY INCIDENT IS FAR FROM AN ISOLATED ONE. I'VE CHECKED OUT OTHER COMPLAINTS VIA THE INTERNET. *JB |
| 2000 | SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE | THE SHOULDER "GUIDE" FOR THE SAFETY BELT IS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THIS GUIDE WOULD BE WEIGHT BEARING IN ANY ACCIDENT. THE CRACKS COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE SAFETY BELT CONSTRAINT. BECAUSE THESE CRACKS ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE, IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO PROTECT RIDERS FROM A QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE. |
