      One of the questions that is asked is have you ever been denied insurance coverage…. I feel that Porsche should take the car back and give you your money back.The car is not fit for purpose. I am unsure if after the recall that your issue with the insurance companies and what they will cover ie will they cover you… Porsche may have their own insurance company which you might be able to insure…

    My brother works for a motor dealership that sells Mazda, Hyundai and KIA.
    They have closed down the KIA and Hyundai new car sales due to the governments new electric vehicle quotas they have to achieve. They now sell only second hand vehicles, also, all new vehicles in the show rooms have been pre-registered. They have had staff lay offs in all dealerships. These electric cars are crippling the motor industry. This is what Stamer and the WEF want, that is their end game no personal transport, 15 minute neighbourhoods etc. Its time the British public woke up they are sleepwalking into a nightmare future.

Was priced at $2,500 a RollsRoyce was priced at $25,000. Add another grand to the Rolls. Which is the price of a very good used house. Now that same one ton pickup truck is priced at $100,000 or more. The $2,500 pickup trucks were built a lot more reliable. Than todays $100,000 disposible under 100,000 mile pickup trucks.

A very expensive mess and it's not your fault. The only reason they sent the letter is to.cover themselves incase the car catches fire and you or anyone else gets seriously injured or worse so in a way they're covering themselves - but at the same time that letter is evidence that the car is faulty

    Lee .......... IMPORTANT ........ It is irrelevant whether or not Insurance companies computers are connected. Your Porsche letter contains a 'disclosable' element re a potential fire-risk. If you were able to get insured to drive your car with another car insurance company, and rely on the Insurance company's own risk assessment for policy premium purposes (i.e. ... not disclose your Porsche letter) and, heaven forbid, you became involved in a road traffic collision, the insurance companies risk assessor will surely be aware of the types of get-out 'disclosure' clauses that may be available, and you could potentially find yourself liable, but uninsured, due to your non-disclosure ! !

      This does not count as being 'refused insurance'. If it were his policy would've been cancelled already; that is more about the personal behaviour of the individual i.e. did they lie about something. His insurer have simply decided not to quote for a new policy after the current one expires because it's outside their risk criteria. This happens all the time if you use comparison sites you will see not every company will choose to offer you a policy - this is not the same as being refused.
