Not a great start, I hope they get everything fixed for you quickly, and I only hope my new one is as good as my 17' white one that has been 100% trouble free even after two years of running high hp. No one wants problems on their new cars

in to week 3 - no confirmed resolution - waiting on part(s) - first attempt was the Spoiler Control Unit (arrived thursday of week 2) - it was reported that upon installation it (the Spoiler Control Unit) was unable to be programmed - going further, the next part ordered (thursday of week 2) is the Spoiler Driver Motor - the fact that parts arrive so slowly is what causes half the anxiety, as of Tuesday of week 3, still waiting - then there's the inevitable "well, this part did not solve the problem either, we need another part that hopefully will fix the issue)......

There should be a law put into place - that basically states a manufacture cannot release/sell a car where spare parts take any more than 3 days to acquire. This BS about not being able to obtain/program parts is ridiculous and all due to the "just in time" manufacturing many manufactures put into place - just enough parts to make the cars - but none left to service cars that exist. It simply costs some monies to have parts in stock - and we just can't have that in todays world now can we.

nope...doesn't seem that we can - I think it’s considered reasonable to be allowed up to 30days as the window of repair time

Bummer!!!

Yup - Indeed yes ! -- end of this week will either resolve it or prolong it...remains to be seen

I've had a "Spoiler Failure" alert many times on my 991.2.

Dealer had to order the COMPLETE front assembly and did so under warranty. Beware, they said that it's a quite expensive replacement (6K+up) so I would say leave them NOT deployed
whenever you can, unless you're specifically at the track or in the canyons.

on the 992 TTS they deploy/retract automatically - warranty or not, we should expect them to be functional as designed - in my case the spoiler functionality slowly deteriorated...initially (car new), while in Normal Driving Mode the rear spoiler would automatically deploy after 65/70(?)mph - the first message was "Spoiler Error", the spoilers would not deploy automatically or manually...around 1800miles or so, "Spoiler Failure Slow Down" showed up when the speed exceeded 65/70mph, & giving the same error when switching to Sport, or Sport Plus

Now you would think, this isn't all that bad, granted it isn't fun knowing you have an issue to resolve, however, along with the messages White at first, now full Red staring at you....the warning bells go off each time you cross the speed threshold ......each time you cross 65/70mph DING-DING-DING and you have to acknowledge the message with a button push

....also, while during the first 1000 miles, i had one or 2 incidents where the spoilers never retracted, and i had to go thru a series of on/off ignition/startup before they went back to rest position - i've had plenty of vehicles, been thru my share of warranty claims/electronic/mechanical issues....this one, being my first experience with Porsche, i would never expect that obtaining a simple part that is on the shelf would take weeks to get...if its on the shelf (Germany/International or Atlanta Georgia/Domestic) the shipping dept (in my mind) should simply pack it for next day or 2 day delivery - even normal DHL service is within the week, and normal domestic would also be within the week - while i can understand the Covid excuse (veiled as the reason) can make things worse, it just feels too cumbersome for dealing with part swapping to find the cause - going in to the 3rd week, with no part in hand, it is only a hiccup away from week 4....i'll soon be in a darkened room, lighting incense.....ohhhmmmmmmm

This stuff sucks! My car is currently waiting at the port for two weeks. The ship that it has been assigned to has been there since the 3rd. Got to be a better way to do business. My 991.2 had three issues in the first 500 miles. Leaking front shock, sport chrono clock and a sensor for the antifreeze. The sensor was a lot of fun lol the entire dash lite up like a Christmas tree telling to stop driving immediately. I pulled over and was able to call a good friend who is also a shop Forman at a local Porsche dealership.

I will say that all three issues were fixed within two days. The parts I think came from PA. I Live in OH so not that bad. Drove the car another 5000 miles and almost three years without any further problems.

I wish you luck and understand your frustration.

Feel for you…have been experiencing same PDK issue since my TTS arrived 5 weeks ago….come and go but my confidence is eroding…posted a thread and several others reported same issue…of course told dealer and they say there is no PDK update all though I have heard from at least one owner they received update upon delivery!!!!????

RD16RR

I took delivery December 23, 2020 / build date was week of November 16th 2020...they did a pdk update the day before i picked it up at the dealer - they told me it took a long time (within the day) for the update to complete - so any car delivered after that would have an update to be done, if it was not already done at the factory - on this current visit i reported the missed paddle shifts - they really don't know much until they check with Tech at the factory - i'll pass on anything they report to me, but i do not expect much

UPDATE:

Spoiler situation resolved - 22 days (that’s 3 weeks and 1 day) and 2 parts orders - 1 for the Spoiler Control Unit & 1 for the Spoiler Driver Motor - the Driver Motor arrived end of day on day 21 and installed day 22, tested & confirmed the spoilers now deploy & retract as needed

rear passenger window not lifting (closing completely) when the convertible top closed resolved - no part needed - I will obviously learn soon enough if in fact it is fixed

pdk missing shifts (twice paddles did not acuate 2nd gear) checked (I don’t know what) - was told they did not see any faults therefore no further action can be taken

with that all out of the way, I’m simply happy I have it back

in the mean time, has anyone had the engine cut out after backing up, engaging Park, then when pulling up on the Parking Brake the engine cuts off...? Does not happen all the time, so I’m actually not certain I’ve done the correct sequence repetitively to know for certain what, if anything, causes it.....or if it is actually supposed to happen — given some of the alien type behavior I’ve witnessed so far it is not too far fetched to think this is another mystery event

You took delivery in the future? Are you Marty McFly?

LOL just giving you crap hope all these issues get resolved.
