2013 991 Carrera S issues
Hey everyone! I've had my Carrera S for 3.5 months now and had to go in for two repairs. My driver's side rear tail light had an issue where the "red lamination on the inside was starting to come/peel off. Basically, I can see through parts of the red portion of the taillight since there were spots showing clear instead of red. I had that repaired last week and for the past two weeks I noticed my driver's side front seat is squeaking very loudly when I move in the seat and when I'm driving. I'm going to be bringing the vehicle in again to have it repaired but I am disappointed in these minor issues and a huge inconvenience. On the flip side, I haven't had any major issues.

Local Porsche tech mentioned he was surprised that 991 has shown some undercoating trouble, not real clear on what he meant. Any one heard of this?

Window seal tore. It's on the door right by the side mirror. There's a triangular piece of trim and then a little rubber piece that the window contacts when it goes up. Mine tore after 1000 miles. I've looked at new cars on the showroom floor and the same piece looks like they are ready to tear. I believe it is a factory design flaw. Dealership has ordered a replacement seal, but I suspect it will tear within a few hundred miles as well.

My speedometer is faulty. Every time I know I'm going 55 mph I look down and the damn thing says 90 to 100. I'm sick of it and thinking about returning it as a lemon. Maybe I will buy a vette. Chevette or NoVa. It's shameful. My 9-year old says the car is a piece of junk and asks why didn't I get a Lotus, Ferrari, Nissan, or Mustang. I can't take it anymore.

I had mine replaced and took 3 attempts. Apparently it's a very long and delicate piece.
Basically shaped like a large "z" that runs all the way along the door and then down again.
Extremely soft rubber...

Driver side is torn, but it's the identical piece on the passenger side. It's not torn yet, but looks like there is already a crease where it might tear in the future.
Duxsi, you are right about wind noise. That's what made me check the seal in the seal in the first place.
