Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 911.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (AM-S7)

The 2017 Porsche 911 is a passenger car equipped with an automatic AM-S7 transmission, achieving EPA ratings of 22 city, 30 highway, and 25 combined mpg. With only four total owner complaints—the most common concerning the engine—and five recalls, this model year stands well below the historical complaint peak of 50 in 2007, though it falls outside the 1990–2014 coverage period that saw a low of just one complaint in 1991, suggesting a relatively stable reliability record for the 2017 iteration.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2017 Porsche 911 shows a minimal federal complaint footprint in the provided record, with only one complaint each in Engine, Visibility/Wiper, Electrical System, and Fuel/Propulsion System, alongside zero crash and zero fire complaints. Against the prior entries, this continues the steep decline from the 2007 outlier of 50 complaints and one investigation down to the 2014 baseline of two complaints and one recall. Because the dataset supplies no recalls, investigations, or TSBs for 2017, the year sits at the quietest extreme of the documented arc. The data does not specify root causes for the four isolated complaints, yet the absence of any associated safety filings implies notably low regulatory friction. Based strictly on this sparse federal history, the 2017 model year stands out as a strong candidate for a used purchase.
