The contact owns a 2020 Porsche Panamera. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power, jerked, and the vehicle would not properly accelerate. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Received a recall notice from Porsche yesterday regarding a potential wiring problem with the climate control coolant pump that, under certain humid conditions, could result in an electrical short and engine fire.

Was told that it could be a month or more…
