Transfer Case problems of the 2014 Porsche Cayenne

Documenting this common transfer case problem. Felt and heard shutter/noise at slow speeds when driving slow and jerky movement upon accelerating. Car had only 40k miles and unluckily just past warranty. Replaced transfer case for $4500 in Sep 2018 and now in Jul 2020, another 14k miles later, I'm starting to hear similar symptoms brewing. . . Not a good sign. Porsche should give replacement transfer case another 4 years warranty instead of just 1 year.

At about 25,000 the Cayenne started making bump upon acceleration and especially when turning. I understand this can be a safety issue unless addressed . The dealer diagnosed the problem as the transfer case which was replaced. Now we have 49,000 miles on the vehicle and it is starting to exhibit the same transfer case symptoms as before. In googling the internet this problem seems to be quite prevalent with both the Porsche Cayenne and macan. Moreover, the cost replace a transfer case is in the $5,000 when our of warranty which my 2014 is now. Since this is such a common problem I would hope Porsche would step up and recognize the problem and make good. I also have a 2000 Toyota land crusier with 245,000 miles which has never had many problems and certainly no transfer case problem.

Car lurches starting around 25 miles per hour and continuing until reaching a cruising speed 50 or thereabouts. Took it in for an oil change at a german car repair company and asked them to evaluate my findings. The transfer case needs to be replaced. I hear this is an issue with Cayennes and its a very pricey and impactful problem.

Rumbling noises in drivetrain, transfer case bad.

Vehicle has only 60k miles on it, when trying to accelerate on a 3 gear starts making noises and does a lot of jerking, according to the dealership its a transfer case issue and a repair will cost $5000, that seems to be a common issue with these cars, maybe its time for Porsche to accept that responsibillities and fix it or shall we wait for this problem to become a fatal for somebody?.

When starting to move a noise is heard. Diagnosed as a problem with the transfer case. Transfer case had to be replaced at 42,900 miles.

Failure of transfer case in transmission at 74000 miles. This is a well described problem and there are hundreds of similar complaints on the internet in Porsche Cayennes. Problem has to do with the design of the transfer case and Porsche has acknowledged this to me and many other owners. As a result of the problem the vehicle can lurch forward and also fail to accelerate causing safety issues. Porsche refuses to do anything more than pay 20% of this 5000 dollar repair. I urge the NHTSA to initiate a formal investigation of this problem and force Porsche cars of north America to initiate a recall campaign for the safety of the public and for the thousands of owners like myself who have spent 70000 to 90000 on a premium SUV and are left helpless. Thank you for your assistance.

I'm in a middle of the street to take a left to another street in ft hood TX and the car sounds like something its lock on the transfer case and dont wanna accelerate.
