- Exterior lighting
Rear taillights can fall off the vehicle. This component is available for inspection and causes issues when other motorists are unable to see turn signals, brake lights, fog lights, and reverse lights. Mine fell off while driving on the highway and then through the city. There were no warning lights or indicating of the issue.

The door panels at the top wrap on my 2013 Porsche 911 and I understand this is a problem on Porsches 911 delivered between 2012 - 2019 A number of recommendations have been made for owners to glue the panel. This panel is designed to release in a side impact condition and any glue modifications to this panel would violate the designed operation. The manufacture is well aware of this issue and has replaced a number of them out of warranty for free, but you have to back them in a corner.

The taillamp housing failed, and taillamp fell out of the vehicle. Online research shows that this is a design defect that Porsche learned of early in the "991.1" generation cars, as it is reported by multiple owners at multiple sites online. Well, happened to my early 991.1 also. Porsche recognized the fatigue-failure within a year or so of launch, and instituted a fairly simple fix, by adding a metal reinforcement to the backside of the taillamp, to reinforce the insufficient plastic-only initial design. They launched this revised taillamp into 2014MY or early 2015MY cars (not sure when). No failures since. Porsche attempted to sweep this defect 'under the rug' by NOT recalling all earlier cars to institute a fix, but rather would just repair cars that failed under warranty. Porsche should not accept taillamps falling off of cars, especially at owners expense (and Porsche pricing!! Ouch). Please investigate.

The tail light assembly mounting fastener failed and the tail light assembly fell out of the rear bumper assembly. There was no indication of a failure while driving. Apparently this is a known issue with the 991.1 version of the 911. I’ve owned the car since new (MY 2013), have it serviced at a Porsche dealership and have not been notified of the potential safety issue.
- Visibility/wiper
I was pulling into my garage and nearly ran over my wife due to the glare on the windshield . This car has a very light colored dash top. The garage was shaded but this was a bright sunny day.
