3 Equipment problem of the 2024 Porsche Panamera

Failure Date: 11/14/2024

1. The field component system the primary issue is stalling under normal operating conditions. The vehicle is available for inspection. It is currently at chantilly dealership. 2. The stalling issue occurred twice under normal driving conditions, which created a significant risk of an accident. The first time I was driving alone, crossing a major freeway when it stalled the second time, my daughter was with me under the same circumstance, which could’ve led to a dangerous situation for my family as well as other vehicles. 3. The dealership have stated that they could not replicate the issue. They have not been able to reproduce the stalling or deemed further repairs necessary. 4. The vehicle has been with the dealership since November 22, 2024. They have not worked with Porsche engineering on my concern with the stalling. 5. There were no warning or lights displayed prior to the stalling issue. The stalling first appeared shortly after I purchased the vehicle and I contacted the dealership on that issue as well as software errors that stated that safety issues were currently restricted. Please note, the vehicle has been in the dealership positions more than mine the software issue they said they fixed however, this would be the second attempt I have not had a vehicle back in my possession to be able to verify that however, it is the stalling that is a safety risk, and I believe is life-threatening. We have requested from Porsche to see and understand the repairs that were conducted on my vehicle. Currently there are only codes listed and we have asked several times so we could see if the following were completed checking: fuel system check,the engine control unit, check for transmission issues, electrical malfunctions, air intake or exhaust problems, faulty auto control systems, and break-in period complications. Currently according to your system, there are no recalls however, Porsche stated that they fixed recalls on my vehicle so I am confused.

5 Equipment problem of the 2013 Porsche Panamera

Failure Date: 05/01/2024

Horn does not function. There have been multiple times where I was nearly run off the road or had to quickly change lanes because another driver was not paying attention and I could not tell them I was there without my horn. The problem has been confirmed by the Porsche dealer I purchased the vehicle from and stated it would be more than $800 to replace the horn. They stated there is no way of fixing it and it would have to be replaced. My husband’s 2015 Porsche cayenne is also having the same issue and I will be filing a separate report. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, or others. There were no warning lights or messages. I did notice the sound of the horn slowly getting weaker over a period of maybe 2 months until it eventually stopped making sound altogether. This all began approximately 1 year ago.

12 Equipment problem of the 2013 Porsche Panamera

Failure Date: 02/24/2020

My 2013 Porsche Panamera has a safety recall (please see attached). I have contacted Porsche cars north America (numerous times) and its dealerships (Porsche of silver spring and others). But all have refused my recall work because I am on a black list via Porsche cars north America. They have declined to work on my car because of past issues with me personally. Each dealership has been instructed not to service my vehicle. When I call the manufacturer the customer service reps say that there is a note on my account that says I am not to be assisted under any circumstances. I'm not sure what to do from here, or who to call. This is my second time reaching out to the NHTSA(phone and email). The first time I filled a report by phone(4-5months ago). I never heard back from anyone. My VIN # is [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

13 Equipment problem of the 2011 Porsche Panamera

Failure Date: 06/22/2019

The ac/heater blower was blowing weak making a screeching noise and not blowing well. Porsche checkered it out and generated a report stating I needed a new blower. After obtaining my car back from the dealer water was leaking inside of my car ( does so while stationary and driving, on rainy days or when snow has melted ) under the dashboard. The blower stopped working completely. The report from Porsche did not state any leaks were found. A former Porsche mechanic inspected the blower and found water entering the a/c blower control unit, causing an electrical short circuit in both the blower and resistor, and also observed the extent of the leak in other areas of the vehicle. The below day is an approximate day in June which it occurred. Also, the horn just stopped working.

14 Equipment problem of the 2011 Porsche Panamera

Failure Date: 04/15/2014

The horn on my 2011 Porsche Panamera stopped working. I did not know until I needed to use it to avoid a potential accident. The dealer told me the problem is very common on Porsche's with headlight washers. The washer system apparently leaks behind the headlights where the horns sit. Appears to be a problem known by Porsche that, if true, is unquestionably a design defect and a safety concern. Repair required actually replacing the horns.
