After a crash

aocayman · November 10th, 2018, 08:22 PM

Has anyone experienced a situation after you have been in a crash though it may be a minor crash from the rear, your cayman will drive for a while and then shut off and have to pull by the road side. This is what I am currently experiencing. The airbag light came on even though it did not deploy. The car will move for a bit and then shut off. Could this be as a result of the airbag light?

aocayman-
I work in the collision industry. Did you take the car to a certified Porsche body shop? Because if you did, you probably wouldn’t be having these issues. I’d go right back to the shop who repaired it and have them do a post repair scan. It’s pretty standard but a lot of insurance companies refuse to pay for. More than likely the computer is confused because it wasn’t reset or you have sensor issues. If there was a scan done then, i’d take it to a Porsche shop as it may not be collision related.

Thank you for your response, I should be getting the car back next week but I will remember to ask for the scan and reset.
