| Service Brakes problems |
I came to a complete stop on a city street. I let my foot off the brake, then applied my foot back on the brake and the brake pad wouldn't go down, it was hard.
The contact owns a 2011 Porsche Cayenne. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v368000 (engine). The part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Porsche of silver spring in silver spring, maryland was made aware of the recall and stated that there was no remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. While driving 40 mph, the throttle control failed and the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the power brakes and power steering failed. The vehicle was towed to Porsche of silver spring where it was diagnosed that the cam shaft controllers failed as described in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 90,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
Very scary and dangerous experience engine stalled after filling up with gas. The vehicle required two or three attempts to start. I exited the gas station onto the ramp for the interstate. The car suddenly locked up less than a mile down the interstate while driving 70, mph. There was no power braking or power steering at all. Fortunately, I remained in the far right lane and momentum carried the vehicle off the next exit ramp before vehicle completely shut off. I have had a host of other issues including psm failures, start/stop mode deactivated errors, ignition problems, braking issues, unnecessary repairs, time/energy, missed work, rental cars, misdiagnoses, etc. I am certain the symptoms are consistent with camshaft defect affecting many other Cayenne s, turbo, and panamera s owners per several internet forum discussions. This is really dangerous. I am disappointment earlier notifications were not issued and I hope this matter is addressed before someone dies.
