Does public shaming of a company work if you get a bad product? This guy hopes so.

Lol Porsche. Is that what the poor people like driving these days? Nothing less than a Ruf I say.

Porche replaced BMW as the yuppie mobile for balding, middle aged white men having a mid-life crisis.

Above and beyond? They're barely doing what they should have done after the 4th repair. It sounds like the water was causing the other issues, and they were trying to chase a bunch of ghosts that were caused by a short. That sucks, and I can understand why they couldn't find the problem, however replacing the car after 4 repairs is what they're legally required to do anyway... at least in my state. Lemon law varies from state to state, but in my case it would be:



So don't pat Porche on the back for doing something they'd be legally required to do anyway. In fact they should get slapped for proposing anything less than a refund or replacement during arbitration. A premium supplier should give premium service, and from the sounds of it I've gotten better service with Chrysler of all places. Shame on them, and shame on anybody who defends such actions.

Whatever, because you hear of stories like this every day. With manufacturers like Chrysler, you expect crappy build quality so all of the people fighting with them to get their car fixed never make the news.

Exactly, so why shouldn't we get better service from Porsche?

A Volkswagen with electrical problems that never gets fixed despite repeated trips to the mechanic....

They offered to buy his car back minus the years he used it, which to me sounds reasonable. That wasn't good enough, so he whined until they bought the whole car back at full price.

If you did that with Chrysler or GM, they would have said "If you don't like it, sell it."

It would be reasonable if the car had been working as it was supposed to during the time period he had it, but it wasn't. They sold him an obvious turd, repeatedly dicked him around even when he tried going up the chain, then only after pressured with a massive amount of outrage do they make it right and do what they should have done in the first place.

You make it seem as though this guy has had the car for a few years, then a mirror fell off and he immediately went to social media to stir up outrage.

They deserve whatever backlash they get. I can't afford a Porsche, but if I ever can I'll definitely remember this guy's experience.

Don't buy a super expensive car, unless you can afford your own mechanic.

you mean the porsche trained mechanics at the porsche dealership working on warranty issues? other than that i dont know wtf your post is trying to say.

years? he got it last year and by dec it had been in the shop 4 fucking times in 6 months.

if i buy a brand new car it better fricken work, i dont care if is a KIA or MB if i have to take it in for warranty work 4 times just 6 months after buying it im going to raise holy hell.

 

[BlitzPuppet]

It's pronounced Porsh-uh you limey asshole.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Which explains why Chrysler and GM have so many problems and why decent companies aspire to be better than Chrysler and GM.

Chrysler and GM cars don't cost 6 figures, seems pretty obvious.

Did you bother watching his videos or reading any of the articles about this? He got the car in June, it has had problems ever since he bought it and has been to the shop over half a dozen times, sometimes for more than a week or two at a time. At that point i'd be fed up even if it were a $15k Ford fiesta, and you bet your ass I wouldn't accept $10K and kick in the ass as compensation.

you have no clue whatsoever....
