I paid for this recall 17v-576 and never received my reimbursement for this issue from Porsche. They owe me $1800. 00 I want to be reimbursed immediately. I spent a lot of money repairing this vehicle constantly. Very poorly made.

For safety: airbag fault and earning light appearing approximately 60k miles in. From a simple google search, it appears to be a widespread issue. When contacting both Porsche locally and Porsche corporate to amend, both refuse repairs by citing vehicle's age (although this is a prevalent, known issue). For performance features: pcm failure; pcm is the navigation and radio console system. Again, both Porsche local and Porsche corporate were contacted after discovering through a mere google search, which will illustrate this large issue with Porsche Cayenne vehicles incurring pcm failures in droves. Porsche has acknowledge both the airbag safety failure and pcm fault is due to bad electrical engineering, to include acknowledging the choice of to not pursue a recall or "goodwill" repairs.

This vehicle allows you to be locked inside. After driving if the driver and passenger open their doors then the lock button is hit on the key (while the doors are still open), then the doors are closed anyone inside in unable to unlock any doors, even when hitting the unlock button inside the vehicle located on the door. This is a huge safety concern.
The dashboard lights all turns on and message comes up indicating to restart the vehicle to start. This happens when the car is in park gear to unload someone and within 2 mins - 5 mins the engine will stop and the above message appears.

Same day I both car when I reached home. . . The right side turn signal light fell off and was hanging from the wire. I had to go back to the dealership twice to fix this problem because they didn’t have anything in stock. After 200 miles on my car I started to hear a knocking sound between console panel and engine, when I went to the dealer first time they tried to convince me that it’s normal because there is similar sounds from some of other cars they have in stock. They didn’t show me any other cars that has this sound when I was there. They stated that on their report that they do not know what the sound is, but it is on other cars as well. I told them that the same model car I test drove, did not have this sound, why would the same car have such a noise. There was no answer or response to this question. They just stated that they don’t know what this. I checked 2 other cars myself at the same dealership, one of which, the technician was present from same dealership. He said that that the car we checked doesn’t have any noise, but my car does. Service department manager told me to drive around to hear if noise gets louder then come back to dealership. The knocking sound on and off, got progressively louder. I went back to the dealership 3 times with the same problem but they still didn’t know what was causing this and didn’t want to do anything about it. My car also have a problem with the security alarm system, it goes off at any time of day or night and they did not try to rectify or resolve the issue. I also noticed from being at the dealership, that there’s also a problem with security system alarm on many of the cars. Wheels paint constantly piling off.
Vehicle fails to accelerate from a stop intermittently. Vehicle hesitates/ bogs down for 5 to 8 seconds before accelerating regardless of the throttle position. This intermittent failure has not been identified or replicated by the dealer nor repaired. It is a critical safety issue since it impairs the drivers ability to enter flowing traffic safely. The fault has occurred 9 times already.
The factory programming of the computer and speed control is incorrect. Porsche states that the vehicle is operating within characteristics and specifications [and according to us law a variance of up to 18% is allowed in the speedometer. ] however, Porsche has taken the us law to mean that it is allowed to intentionally program its computers to the same specifications as analog gauges. Porsche cannot demonstrate that the inaccuracy in the speedometer is not effecting the hybrid operations of the vehicle. The inaccurate speed reading may also create inaccurate odometer readings. In addition the vehicle has problems with hard braking which is especially pronounced when the vehicle is under cruise control. And in certain instances there is lag on acceleration. Porsche has refused to reprogram the speedometer controls to actual speed. Given that the only problems on the vehicle are related to the speed of the vehicle, it seems that Porsche should be capable of providing a solution by reprogramming the onboard computers.
The electronics on the car are showing a suspension issue. And the electronics on the car do not work for more than 5-7 min before shutdown and restart. This includes radio, bluetooth, gps, etc. When the electronics start back up the radio is turned on.
