| Wheel problems |
I heard some knocking from the area of the front left wheel while driving on a city street about 30 miles per hour. I stopped and inspected under the car and saw nothing. So I decoded to bring it to my service provider. I drove about 3 miles at slow speeds to get to the service provider. After about an hour they found the problem. One of the bolts that holds the knuckle to the wheel had backed out and was banging around the break system. They said I could not drive the car until it was fixed.
The contact owns a 2014 Porsche Cayenne. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a rattling noise occurred before the vehicle loss power and stalled. During the failure, the check engine warning light had illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer Porsche of new orleans located at 3700 n causeway blvd, metairie, la 70002 who replaced the transmission transfer gear. Approximately 20,000 miles later the failure recurred and the contact was informed that the transfer gear was faulty and needed to be replaced a second time. In addition, the speed sensors in all four wheels were faulty causing the vehicle to randomly slow down and not accelerate. The sensors were replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failures but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 12,000.
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.
