My 2013 boxster is currently at the dealer for repairs for the 7th time due to rodent damage to wiring.porsche used a soy based compound on its wires which is extremely attractive to rodents.porsche germany and porsche north america deny the use of these products.an email yesterday stated "we do not have any information that indicates we currently or previously used a soy based product in our wiring".the damage occurs in our garage which is not enclosed.this damage has been ongoing since 6/25/15.
I rented a 2013 porsche boxter conv.they dropped it off to me at store, due to my car being towed away from being hit.was quickly shown the outside to verify no body or wheel damage'few days later, driving rental, i pull up behind a pick up truck on the coldwater cyn in los angeles,(one way, each direction}traffic came to a standstill, and then my engine shut off, tachometer went to zero.odd, and as i was reaching for key to restart, i gently put my foot on the accelerator, and wow, car comes alive and lurches into truck in front of me.now damage to car can be repaired, but if i had been at a crosswalk when this happened, i could have killed or seriously injured pedestrian.\dealer later tells me car has option of auto stop.\should be required of rental car companies to inform renter of this feature so as not to have accidents.

It lost power brakes during my driving at 45 miles/hour. The vehicle couldn't stop more than 200 yard before a traffic light. I almost hit into traffic which runs at 55 miles per hour. The car drove about 25000 miles when power brakes failed. Porsche said vehicle's vacuum pump broken. They fixed. I asked them what is life for a vacuum pump, they rejected to answer. I asked them why the vacuum pump failed, they said it was scrapped, they don't know. I asked them how they are sure the new one would be good. They told me that is why they provided 4 years warranty/50000 miles warranty. I told them it is safety parts, if they can't tell me what's wrong, i don't feel comfortable to drive. It is horrific experience when power brake lost, the car out of control, couldn't stop. I am lucky i didn't hit anyone because no one in front of and luckily again the car stopped about20 yards before traffic lane on route 55 in il.
2013 porsche boxster. Car rolls when stopped with transmission in 'park.' similar to recalls of porsche cayennes and panameras. May be similar to the transmission connection bushing problem that came loose in other models.

On the 2013 boxster the tailpipe can burn your leg if you're not carefully when you go to open the rear trunk. It my view that the tailpipe extend to long from the bumper of the car and therefore, when someone goes to open the trunk your leg will touch the tailpipe.my wife was burn on her leg from the tailpipe.i made a complaint to north americaporsche.i got the feeling from the senior rep that it happen and so what. I someone can take look at this issue and see if something can be done about this.

Horn sticks loud and remains on for about one minute.suspect bracket holding airbag needs new isolation "o" rings which, over time, allow horn to touch bracket completing horn relay circuit.could cause other cars to swerve into traffic.specifically,i was stopped for a 4 way stop sign, another car approached at such a speed that i saw she was going to stop and she didn't.i watched her blow by and got behind her and blew the horn but the horn stayed on.the lady stopped and i told her (she was a realtor going to a showing) she missed the stop.as i went on my way the horn quit.total time 30-45 seconds. Contacting dealer for repair estimate.
