Electrical System Problems of Porsche Cayenne - part 2

There's an electrical issue with the vehicle (it is an e-hybrid) with error messages that run in a continuous loop (acc not available, pas restricted, driving light control error, high beam assist not available, lane keep assist restricted). The local dealer has not yet been able to fix the issue. Car is under warranty and has been in the shop for a month. We were called two times to pick up a "fixed vehicle" and each time we had to return the car almost immediately upon leaving the dealership since the problem was not fixed. I've contacted Porsche customer service but as of yet there is no resolution. It is very concerning since some of these error messages do affect vehicle safety.

1. Persistent transfer case symptoms and potential safety hazard my vehicle has experienced intermittent kicking, jerking, bouncing, clicking, unusual noises, and other symptoms consistent with potential transfer case problems. The frequency and severity of these occurrences have increased over time. 2. Warranty previous many service visits and failure to resolve complaints 3. Failure to notify me of the transfer case warranty extension I subsequently learned from other sources that Porsche had announced a transfer case warranty extension reportedly providing coverage for up to ten years. I contend that I was not notified of this extension, despite having reported relevant symptoms to Porsche 4. Concerns regarding prior knowledge of the defect information available to me indicates that Porsche may have been aware of transfer case problems affecting certain Cayenne vehicles for several years. I also understand that internal service information concerning transfer case issues may have been distributed to Porsche dealerships as early as June 2017. These circumstances warrant a thorough review of Porsche’s knowledge of the problem, its service guidance, its customer notification practices, and the adequacy of the warranty extension in addressing affected vehicles. 5. Current condition and substantial repair expense because of my concerns about the vehicle’s reliability and safety, I have limited my driving. The vehicle has accumulated only approximately 54,723 miles over more than twelve years. The condition has worsened, and ‘Porsche huntington’ has provided a repair estimate exceeding $7,000 to replace the transfer case. I must not be required to bear the full cost of addressing a potentially longstanding defect that I reported to an authorized dealership before learning of the warranty extension. I also request that NHTSA review the reported symptoms and relevant defect information as further investigation or regulatory and remedial actions are warranted for Porsche.

On August 21 2021, I was out shopping. When I went out to return home, the car would not start. I could not jump start it or anything. I had it towed to the dealer. I found out from Porsche and dealership that my car was disabled by Porsche connect. I do not have this service or pay for it. On Friday sept 3, I was informed by Porsche customer service that it disabled my car because the original owner (in 2015) changed their phone number. So Porsche assumed stolen and shut down. I did not authorize this, I did not sign up for this service. They will not fix the car because they say it is out of warranty. Because I do not know the code to turn the car back on, they want to replace parts and say I have to get the Porsche connect app. This is a known issue at Porsche because the dealer found a TSB on it. They are not taking responsibility for shutting down the car with out my permission. This is a safety issue depending on where I could have been.

The day we took our Porsche home, we noticed a lot of heat generation in the car- but we thought it will be fine going further, given the attention to detail of Porsche's automobile engineering. The following days were not any better for my daughter- she missed a major accident because of the unexpected burnt smell and loud warnings of an overheat of the engine by Porsche in the middle of a highway. Due to her excellent driving record for the past 5 years, she was able to manage and stop in the middle of the highway at the curb of the road. She panicked so much so that, she stopped using the Porsche and borrowed our other cars, benz and Lexus. I requested her to give Porsche another chance yesterday night. The same situation repeated again within a span of 10 minutes of her journey in Porsche; she had to stop in the middle of the road again due to engine overheat and burning smell and I went to pick her up as she got really scared. My son immediately informed the hennessey Porsche north atlanta, georgia, the USA about this repeated situation but seems like they do not care at all. I think you must be aware that dealerships play the most crucial role between your loyal customers and Porsche. We have not dared to take the Porsche out again after yesterday. The car smelled so burnt, the whole garage smelled bad and we had to move the car into the open driveway.

Shortly after taking delivery of this Porsche approved certified pre-owned vehicle (purchased April 25, 2022, from Porsche nashua, nashua, nh), the backup/parking sensors failed to sound. While reversing at home, I waited for the audible warning beep that never came and slowly backed into my own parked 2017 Porsche 911. The Cayenne's door was dented; the 911 was undamaged. A functioning parking sensor system would have warned me and prevented this collision. The vehicle had passed the Porsche approved cpo multi-point inspection, which is supposed to cover these safety systems. I consider this a safety-related defect in a certified vehicle.

Our turn signal sound is so low that we do not realize that the signal has remained on since our last turn. It has caused oncoming traffic to stop unnecessarily and following traffic to pass inside assuming we were turning left. Both situations have caused near accidents.

2018 Porsche Cayenne: at highway speeds, randomly a serious unsafe to operate �service necessary� warning appears on the instrument panel and the cruise control malfunctions. With the service necessary warning indicated, the vehicle is unsafe to operate. This unsafe vehicle is not drivable with cruise control for approximately the next hour. This breakdown is known to Porsche (via their communications with me) and they are unable to rectify the error. In a 2020 Porsche Cayenne this failure has been rectified. Attached, invoices from five visits to Porsche dealerships, all during the warranty period.

Fuel gauge inaccuracy. Fuel gauge dancing then shows fuel gauge fault.

While driving on the city street for about 10 minutes when a message "fault-fuel gauge" popped up on my instrument cluster. Tried to fill the tank at the gas station but then the tank was full however the fuel gauge incorrectly indicating the tank is only 1/2 full. Message would intermittently come on while driving. This vehicle was manufactured in June 2014 not recalled nor corrected by Porsche manufacturer in their recall of 2014 model. Car mileage is only 39,563 and this cars VIN was not included on Porsche recalls. This particular fault is exactly the same fault as all the 2014 Cayenne Porsche has previously recalled. Carfax report on this model/VIN states no recall. It would be dangerous to take this vehicle for a long drive due to inaccuracy in fuel gauge reading as vehicle can dangerously run out of fuel and stalling and increasing risk of accident.

This vehicle qualified for the Volkswagen emissions recall, yet from the start of the recall through 2018 settlement lawsuit dates , no correspondence was sent (by Porsche nor vw). According to all recall regulations, my vehicle should have among the ‘recall’ with the 85k plus others, yet no correspondence was sent (by Porsche nor vw) & now the local Porsche dealership is denying in, according to all recall regulations, even still with the epa, the vehicle was to receive an initial emissions test, then undergo all related repairs/part replacements before the issue resulted in toxic emissions, nox sensor failures, & premature problems with the dpf system, leading to thermostat problems & the failure of the diesel turbo. Federal regs mandate that vehicle & vehicle equipment manufacturers comply with early warning reporting requirements, submit to NHTSA copies of their manufacturer communications. & update all communications including warranty, policy extensions & product improvement communication sent to dealers, distributors, owners, purchasers, etc. Regarding any defect, failure or malfunction beyond normal deterioration in use, failure of performance, flaw or other unintended deviation from design specifications whether it is safety-related or not. Porsche now says my vehicle never showed the recall, despite court mandates that all affected vehicles will be notified communication failed on the sides of both manufacturers. In 2026, if one possesses an eligible vehicle but never received a "dieselgate" recall notice, options for financial compensation from the original u. S. Settlements stated to be likely limited, & I’m not able to find how to proceed with Volkswagen, but regardless, according to epa and all vehicle standards, I read my vehicle is still entitled to receive an emissions modification at no cost, and that I should be covered by an extended emissions warranty to address all current & related issues.

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.

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.
