Driving from NY city on November 20, 2018 all of a sudden start hearing loud clunking/thumping noise from the under of the car. It was scary. Drove home very slowly with flashers on. Took the car to the Porsche dealer in rochester and they diagnose and quote me close to $2000 to replace the cardan drive shaft. I do not have the money and car is parked in the driveway at home.

Within minutes of driving my son to school, I heard a grinding sound from underneath my Cayenne, then a squealing, and the car began to vibrate violently during acceleration. This happened very quickly and was frightening because I was crossing a bridge in morning traffic. The service man at the Porsche dealership told me that this is an ongoing problem with these vehicles and that my drive shaft had come apart. I am a very careful driver and my car has low miles. I believe that there should be a recall and this is safety issue because of how quickly this happened while driving.

The contact owns a 2008 Porsche Cayenne. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicle started wobbling with a loud sound coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the driveshaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred several times. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was already repaired under warranty. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Car was driving normal. Parked in garage and 2 hours later took back out for short drive. Reaching 25 mph, car begin shaking violently and than as accelerated further stopped shaking. Pulled over, than accelerated again slowly, car begin shaking at approx 50 mph. Slowed again. And car continued to shake violently at various speeds. Took to independent Porsche shop, and was diagnosed as "failed drive shaft center bearing".

Since I have had the vehicle I have had to replace the drive shaft 3 times. Porsche replaced it once under warranty and the other two times I had to pay in excess of $900. 00 to have it replaced. I have been told by Porsche that it has a defiective rubber seal and when the seal fails so does he drive shaft. This is a common defect and is know by Porsche at the dealers and the manufacturer. They have acknowledged the defect to me. My concern is if the drive shaft totally fails and breaks, not just flexing and hitting the floor, it could cause an accident by making the vehicle go out of control.
