What owners wrote
Sudden, catastrophic failure of coolant hose 996.106.502.74 by longitudinal split approximately 4" long. Coolant dumped on lr wheel caused loss of control and vehicle spin.
First I noticed a burst of white smoke coming out of the rear, and after that, engine temperature start to go up. Since I have very close to home, I just cruise back. After inspection at mechanic, coolant hose has fly off itself and causing all the engine coolant lost. Repairing it costs me 5000+ as it requires dropping the engine, many hours of labor and 2 weeks without the car.
