I live in NE Ohio, always drive the car after washing in the good weather, but in the winter, washing not possible

I have owned BMW's, Lexus', Saab's, Jag's and other cars and never had this problem with any other car.

Should I fight Porsche on this to get it covered?

I don't know how you would fight them. It is an 07 and involves brake rotors. You have to think that this is related, at least in part, to the rotor sitting w salt on it (not implying fault on your part). If your request for goodwill assistance has failed you may be stuck w it. I'm wondering how others in your neck of the woods avoid this. Or do they just garage it.

I leave around the Ohio region and I don't have this problem!

I tried convincing Porsche that this is not just wear and tear, but was a defect in the metal and was a safety issue, but they turned me down , I suspect because they do not want to set a presidence

Perhaps a letter to The National Transportation Safety Board is appropriate

(BTW I have owned 3 911's so I consider myself a loyal customer, apparently Porsche does not agree)

Up here in the northeast, if you do not drive a vehicle very much the salt will eat away at the rotors. Once they pit they are usually shot. No manufacturers that I am aware of covers rotors for this issue past 12 months/12000 miles. It's part of living here.

Any good detailed CLEAR and SHARP (not cell phone pics) pictures of these so called corroded rotors?

mal28

sorry, no pics

scotsskier

Yeah, that sounds pretty similar to the uk issues

scotsskier

I think I may still have some old ones from my uk boxster. I will have a look through my old files

scotsskier

here you go. from 2003! Pretty bad when you see them. This is on the inside of the Disk. The outside surface looked fine

Scotsskier, was the car parked for a time when corrosion took place ?

This is part of the reason that Porsche invested heavily in the PCCB option for their cars. In nasty salted areas the ceramic option helps considerably. I doubt that you will gain any ground with Porsche on calling it a defect.

I have noted that their rotors are built like they used to be--I never had to replace a rotor in my life on any of my Porsches. And those cars had in excess of 100,000 when I sold them. Today's iron is too mild in my opinion.

scotsskier

Nope, it was my daily driver!
