The Porsche 911 is an icon of the automotive industry and is generally considered one of the best cars. However, is that really the case? On many forums we can read the complaints of owners who have problems with the Porsche 911, and one of them is that the rear lights fall off while driving.

One such case happened to Craig Swallow, who posted a photo in the Porsche 991 Enthusiasts group asking if anyone had a situation where the rear light fell off the Porsche 911. He wrote in his explanation that while driving on the highway, he received a warning that the rear light was not working. Fortunately, there were no cars behind him.

Many owners confirmed that they had a similar situation. Some lost both taillights, and some managed to save the lights that hung on the wires. Such cases have often occurred on Porsches 911 manufactured in 2011. Porsche corrected this design error in 2013 by adding a metal plate.

Also, on other forums, photos of similar situations were published, so this is not an isolated case. This is proof that even the best make mistakes, but also how complex a car is.

If you have one of the first Porsche 911s produced, pay attention to the rear lights.
