Hatchback/liftgate Lock Problems of Porsche Cayenne

Tail gate fails to remain open in cold weather. It fell, striking the back of a person. The weather was below 32 degrees f and there was no snow or ice on the tail gate. Appears that springs/hydraulic devices fail in cold weather.

This vehicle is a Porsche Cayenne which is not on your list of vehicle make. This vehicle was delivered with defective brakes and wiring problems. Factory authorized dealer and service CO, thoroughbred motorcars, and distributor, Porsche cars of north America have failed to address or correct defects in vehicle that existed at the time of delivery of the vehicle. The rear hatch did not open fully upon release of the latch, brakes pulled to the right and would get worse when hot or wet, parking lights did not function properly, brakes grabbed with little pressure, warning on high beam, warning on dip beam, dip beams flickered then would shut off and the trailer lights did not function.

I have had problems with 3 of the 4 doors not operating correctly. My right rear door does not open at times from the inside or outside. The vehicle has been to the shop 4 times for repair and porshe has been unable to fix it. On 2 of the other doors, sometimes the outer door handles remain in the open position and do not retract after opening the door, often leading to the door reopening when you go to close it. In addition, sometimes the rear hatch does not unlock at times. I have been made aware by 2 Porsche dealerships that they have both had other customers with similar or related conditions. This is very serious and has the potential to lead to a very dangerous situation.
