Service Brakes problem #1

I purchased a used Porsche pre-owned certified 2019 Porsche Cayenne turbo SUV on February 22, 2025, and within 4 to 6 weeks, the front brakes started to squeal very loudly when the vehicle comes to a near- stop. The dealership (Porsche river oaks, 4007 greenbriar dr, houston, TX 77098) tells me that this is normal squealing due to the type of brakes that this car has (pscb). The squeal is louder than typical brake squealing and shouldn't appear on such a newly purchased certified car. I am reading multiple complaints on the internet about the squealing problems with the Porsche surface coated brakes (pscb) that I have on my vehicle. I am also seeing that. Porsche cars north America, inc has issued a technical service bulletin 120/22enu 4652 published on sept 9, 2022, on how to fix this problem for its customers with a special brake disc and brake pad with better acoustical properties. The parts for this repair are extremely expensive. My car is supposed to be under warranty, but the service technician has offered to only clean the brake pads which the service advisor tells me should suppress the brake squeal for a short period of time, but then told me that the noise will come back due to the type of pcsb brakes this car has. I feel like I have been tricked into buy a car with defective squealing brakes and Porsche cars of north America knew about the problem with these pscb brakes. My worry is that Porsche dealerships, know how to temporarily fix this squealing problem when they sell these vehicles by cleaning the brake pads.

Service Brakes problem #2

The vehicle lurches forward dangerously when coming to a complete stop. The brakes seem to release as the vehicle lurches forward.

Service Brakes problem #3

When braking to a stop, the car lunges forward even when foot is on the brake. This occurs at slower speeds around 5mph right before a dead stop.

Service Brakes problem #4

Several times a month when my car comes to a stop the brakes malfunction and the brake pedal goes to the floor and the power steering stops working. It takes up to another car length to fully stop when this happens - sometimes just a few extra feet. It has caused me to damage the front end by driving into a bush. The dealer refuses to do anything because they can't replicate the brake problem and they state the steering problem is normal. I have been able to replicate the steering problems to them but because the brake issue happens only a few times a month I was not able to.
