    THE SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT IS THAT THE ELECTRONIC HAND BRAKE SYSTEM UNEXPECTEDLY ACTIVATES FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THE CAR LOCKS DOWN ON THE ROAD AT AN INTERSECTION. IN 6 MONTHS THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR FOR 37 DAYS IN 2 DIFFERENT PORSCHE DEALERSHIPS.
