Broken black Carrera...2: Story of being saved by Porsche Center Kawagoe

2nd unexpected brake failure

I don't want to write about it because it's a story that makes me feel depressed when I think about it, but it's not a story that will get better if I don't write about it, so I want to write about it even though I'm feeling blue since the beginning of the new year. Already incoherent.

That's right, at the very end of 2023, my beloved black Carrera (991.2 base model) broke...(tears).

This day was the other dayA black Carrera that has been washed a lot and is now shinySo I was having fun running again.

After finishing my errands, I was running on the general road towards the expressway entrance, ready to head back to Tokyo.

This warning suddenly appeared. “Brake fluid level, please stop in a safe place”↓

Hey, this warning.

It would be fine if the warning was just displayed due to some kind of mistake (error) and disappears when you restart the engine, but if it was a real warning, it would be quite dangerous.

To Porsche Center Kawagoe

I hurriedly took a photo of the warning that was displayed and sent it to the sales representative at Porsche Center Koishikawa, who has been with me since I purchased the Black Carrera.

And then what I did next. it is.

Porsche Center KawagoeI was heading to Mr.

picture? Why Porsche Center Kawagoe?

If you recall, it was about a year ago.

I was watching the Porsche Center Kawagoe being built from a vacant lot from inside my Porsche.

When it opened a year ago, I looked at all the flowers on display and secretly whispered, ``Congratulations,'' as I looked at the Porsche Center Kawagoe from inside my Porsche.

...Is that a stalker? (lol)

Well, to get back to the topic, I was actually in Kawagoe on this day because I had something to do.

The place I was when the warning was displayed was about 1 km from Porsche Center Kawagoe. miracle.

Even after the warning was issued, the brakes were still working and the road was slow due to traffic jams, so I slowly made my way to PC Kawagoe, checking from time to time to make sure the brakes were working.

The fact that it was just before the end of the year, before the Porsche Center was closed, and before closing time, was a miracle, and I am truly grateful to God.

Since this land was cleared more than a year agoI've been stalking youI never thought that the day would come when Porsche Center Kawagoe would be able to take care of me in such an emergency situation.

I suddenly jumped in and asked, ``Since this warning has been issued, I would appreciate it if you could check to see if it's okay to drive back to Tokyo.''

Porsche Center Kawagoe even provided me with drinks and tea and sweets when I suddenly brought in my Porsche with a warning that I don't know about anywhere else.

You're too kind...(crying).

At this point, I was communicating with PC Koishikawa's sales representative and my husband, including saying, ``I'm going to rush in to see PC Kawagoe and have him examine me.''

Are there 3 people at PC Kawagoe? Mecha guys were checking on the Kuro Carrera. I'm so grateful, I can't thank you enough.

After looking at the car, we determined that it would be dangerous to continue driving in this manner. That's right.

Somewhere in my heart, I thought I would be told, ``If I add more brake fluid, it's safe to return to Tokyo,'' so I was shocked when I was told that it was dangerous to drive.

Furthermore, the area where the problem occurred this time was the front right brake, which is actually the same area that broke three years ago.

Therefore, we decided that it would be better to have Porsche Center Koishikawa do the repair this time, including knowing the repair history at that time, so we decided to have the black Carrera towed to PC Koishikawa the next day. To.

Thank you to everyone at PC Kawagoe

And I decided to go home by train! !

This is also a big problem for me. I've been to Kawagoe many times, but I've never actually been there by train, and what's more, even if I only take a few stops in Tokyo, I end up getting on the train in the opposite direction from my destination and get lost. I'm really bad at trains, to the point where it makes no sense to me.

When I asked the advisor at PC Kawagoe how to get back to Tokyo from the nearest station to PC Kawagoe, he said, ``When I changed trains, there was somehow a Seibu line and somehow a Shinjuku line...'' It just sounded like a mantra to me. .

I think he probably thought, ``This is no good'' (lol), and even though I was such an idiot, he offered me a helping hand and said, ``I'll take you to Kawagoe Station,'' so that I could get home in the easiest way. (I cried again).

Actually, I didn't have a coat with me that day, so I was prepared to go home without a coat in the 8 degrees outside temperature, so I was really grateful that the sales person at PC Kawagoe took me to Kawagoe Station, which was a little far away. It has helped me in so many ways (I almost don't have to walk outside anymore), and I am filled with so much gratitude that I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Thank you very much to everyone at Porsche Center Kawagoe.

Although it was of no benefit to PC Kawagoe, he kindly looked at the car, treated us kindly, and even took us to the station in the end. At the very end of 2023, I was able to experience the kindness of people, and although I was shocked that my black Carrera was broken, it was also a day that made me feel very warm.

To Porsche Center Koishikawa

Now, Mr. Kuro Carrera.

The next day, we took a tow truck to PC Koishikawa, and since it was already the end of the year, we decided to spend the year at PC Koishikawa.

We will now have to find out the cause of the failure and repair it.

I'm sure it'll be fixed again, but I'm still worried that it might break again.

Last time, and this time as well, it broke at the miraculous timing of, ``If it was going to break, now would be the time,'' so I'm glad, but if it happens a third time, I don't know what will happen then. It's scary to remember the fear when the brakes suddenly stopped working.

I love Porsche, but I don't want to die with a Porsche.

I want to enjoy my Black Carrera for a long time, so I would like to entrust it to PC Koishikawa and have them repair it. I hope we can continue to have lots of fun together.

2024 will be the beginning of the year without Black Carrera.

I felt a bit let down and didn't drive my Porsche at all during the New Year holidays.

Anyway, this time I was able to get by because it broke down near Porsche Center Kawagoe and they helped me out. I'm really thankful to you.

Also, from now on, we will continue to take care of Porsche Center Koishikawa. Thank you for your continued support of Kuro Carrera...(tears).
