ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The design of this car incorporates something called a "rear hatch drain". This drain can be clogged with debris over time, which leads to a situation in which rainwater drains into the battery hold area. There is no warning for this occurrence; I only discovered it once the tail lights and liftgate began to malfunction. This quickly deteriorated into not being able to start the car at all. This is unsafe because it creates a situation wherein the lights and battery can malfunction/die without any warning. This public safety defect also erodes consumer confidence, as electrical issues are incredibly expensive to repair. Porsche does not even include what should be a basic point of inspection as part of the $300 that they charge anytime they touch of look at the vehicle that the consumer brings in.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE WAS SITTING OUTSIDE MY HOME FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I THEN DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR A DRIVE ONLY TO SEE SEVERAL FEATURES IN THE CAR MALFUNCTION AND NOT WORKING. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD LEARNED THE TRUNK OF MY CAR FILLED UP WITH LOTS OF WATER DUE TO THE DRAINAGE HOLES BEING BLOCKED WITHH DEBRIS. THIS RESULTED IN A MASSIVE CIRCUIT SHORTAGE IN THE REAR ELECTRICAL AND SOUND SYSTEM LOCATED IN MY TRUNK RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE.

I DROVE 5 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE TO A GAS STATION ON MY WAY TO WORK. AS I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND GOT ONTO A HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND MAKING A VERY LOUD,HARSH NOISE. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AS CARS WERE APPROACHING AT HIGH SPEED. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR KEPT SHUTTERING AND FINALLY LOST POWER. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH NO LUCK. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. I CONSIDER MYSELF A VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. AFTER CHECKING THE CAR AND CHANGING MANY PARTS, IT WAS DIAGNOSED. CAMSHAFT SPROCKET BOLTS SHEERED OFF CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO ENGINE. THE BOLTS AND ALUMINUM PARTICLE ENTERED THE ENGINE CYLINDERHEADS AND PISTON WITH MAJORENGINE FAILURE.

CAMSHAFT CONTROLLER RECALL. ON 9/8/2015, MY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH AND SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY DARK. ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE DEAD. I COASTED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE PORSHE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE "CAMSHAFT" BROKE OFF IN THE ENGINE AND THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $5,000. AS I HAD OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IT WAS THOROUGHLY MAINTAINED AT THE DEALER, I INQUIRED AS TO HOW SUCH A MAJOR REPAIR COULD HAPPEN. THE CAR WAS ONLY 3/4 YEARS OLD AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO REASON AND THAT SOMETIMES "THINGS JUST BREAK". MY PORSCHE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. WHEN I CONTACTED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO COMPLAIN THAT THE ISSUE MUST HAVE BEEN A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, THEY AGREED BUT WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I COMPLAINED DIRECTLY TO PORSCHE HEADQUARTERS AND RECEIVED $500 OFF OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR. MIND YOU, I STILL HAD TO PAY OVER $5,000 TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. ABOUT A YEAR OR SO LATER, I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT THERE WAS A RECALL PENDING ON THE EXACT ISSUE THAT I PAID FOR. I HAVE CONTACTED PORSCHE HEADQUARTERS SEVERAL TIMES TO OBTAIN REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR, HOWEVER I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY SEND OUT AN "OFFICIAL NOTICE" OF THE RECALL AND ONLY THEN, WILL I BE ABLE TO SUBMIT FORMS TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT. I'M AT A LOSS AS TO WHY I, AS A CUSTOMER, HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO GET MY MONEY. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPAIR WAS DONE AT AN AUTHORIZED PORSCHE DEALER & THEY HAVE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION IN THEY SYSTEM. I ALSO HAVE A COPY OF THE INVOICE AND CAN PROVIDE IF NECESSARY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, HIGH PRESSURE SENSOR, AND IN TANK FUEL PUMP ALL HAD A FAILURE. ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $2500. READ THERE IS A RECALL ON MOST OF THESE PUMPS BUT NOT THIS YEAR MODEL, WHICH USES THE EXACT SAME PUMP THAT IS BEING RECALLED. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT IN THE THOUSANDS OF THESE HAVING TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE WHICH CAN CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR WILL CUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY PORSCHE NORTH AMERICA THAT COVERS ALL VEHICLES WITH THESE FUEL PUMPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWERVE INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO OKEMOS AUTO COLLECTION (2186 JOLLY RD, OKEMOS, MI 48864) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED A LOWER END FAILURE, AS EVIDENCED BY THE ENGINE OIL AND COOLANT MIXING. THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD PAY FOR THE DEALER TO DISASSEMBLE THE ENGINE TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE, AND PORSCHE WOULD ASSIST, IF NECESSARY. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT A CAM SHAFT REPAIR WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V368000 (ENGINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. ...UPDATED 08/02/17 *BF *CN

MY 2010 PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO (HAS ONLY 68,700 MILES ON IT) WAS ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT. AS I APPROACHED 50 MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAID "4WD SYSTEM FAILURE AND AUTO STOP/START FUNCTION DISABLED". SO, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE PORSCHE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY FOUND THE CAM ADJUSTER BOLTS ON ONE BANK HAD SHEARED OFF AND THE CAM ADJUSTER ON THE OTHER BANK HAD LOOSENED UP. THEN A SIMPLE INTERNET WEB SEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WELL KNOWN WORLD WIDE BY PORSCHE BUT ONLY CHINA FORCED A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY. SO THERE'S ALREADY A PRECEDENT FOR A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. DEFECTIVE OR SUBSTANDARD CAM ADJUSTER BOLTS DESTROYS THE UNIT ITSELF THEN FALL OFF INTO THE ENGINE AND DESTROY THE ENGINE. YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE BOLTS. PORSCHE DOES NOT SALE THE BOLTS SEPERATE BECAUSE THE BOLTS ARE APART OF THE UNIT ITSELF. THE BOLTS ARE MADE OF ALUMINUM WHICH IS BOTH A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THEY LATER UPDATED THE UNIT WITH TITANIUM BOLTS. HOWEVER, THIS IS ONLY A RED HERRING AND DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE 1000'S OF PORSCHE OWNERS IN AMERICA THAT'S ALREADY SUFFERED AN ENGINE FAILURE AND SHOULD BE REIMBURSED AND IT DOES NOTHING TO PREVENT CATASTROPHE FOR THOSE WHOSE ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL. THIS BANDAID ALSO DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS ALL ENGINES MADE BEFORE THE 2013 UPDATE THAT'LL LIKELY SELF DESTRUCT AND LEAD TO COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE WHICH CAN LOCK-UP THE MOTOR AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN TRAFFIC. THE US GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE PORSCHE TO RECALL THESE ENGINES JUST LIKE CHINA DID AND HOLD PORSCHE ACCOUNTABLE TO REPLACE ALL THE DEFECTIVE CAM ADJUSTERS AND THE ONES THAT HAS ALREADY FAILED SHOULD HAVE ENGINE REPLACED IF IT'S SO BAD THEY CAN'T EVEN FIND THE BOLTS. PORSCHE SHOULD BE ASHAMED. IF RECALLED PORSCHE COULD OWE SOME PEOPLE BETWEEN $4K TO $45K.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 24, 2017 A SMALL FAMILY OF 4 WAS TRAVELLING ALONG INTERSTATE 5 (SOUTH) IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AT 8:03PM CRUISING AT 65 MPH IN THE FAR LEFT PASSING LANE WHEN THE DRIVER FELT A HEAVY VIBRATION AND BEGAN TO LOSE COMPLETE POWER OF THE VEHICLE INCLUDING ALL STEERING, ENGINE, AND BRAKES. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED: "REDUCED ENGINE POWER", "CHECK ENGINE OIL PRESSURE" , 'PSM FAILURE', 'START/STOP DEACTIVATION' FOLLOWED BY 'CHECK ENGINE"-WHICH BEGAN BLINKING LEADING TO COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF ENGINE WHILE TRAVELING AT 45-50 MPH. WITHOUT ANY CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN THE SAME OCCURRENCE A LOUD SUCTION NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOLLOWED BY A LOUD DEAFENING NOISE. UPON REVIEW OF THE MANUFACTURE AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE CRANK SHAFT BOLT PULLEY WAS SHAKEN OFF THE CAR CAUSING A COMPLETE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE RESULTING IN A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD. THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE ALUMINUM CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER BOLTS WHICH HAVE A TENDENCY TO SHEER OFF, WHICH PREVENT THE CAMSHAFTS FROM RUNNING. IF THIS OCCURS IN THE CAMSHAFT THAT OPERATES THE VACUUM PUMP, THE POWER BRAKING WILL ALSO FAIL, WHICH WILL RESULT IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO BRAKE THE CAR WITHOUT THE VACUUM POWDERED BRAKES. THE BOLTS THEMSELVES MAY ALSO DROP INTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THIS LACK OF ATTENTION WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO FATALITIES IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP CAUSED LOSS OF POWER. VEHICLE DRIVEN TO PORSCHE DEALER WHO WAS TOO BUSY TO DO A SCAN FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK AND SENT ME AWAY ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY. MY REPAIR SHOP SCANNED AND IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM. CAR AT HOME TO BE TOWED INTO PORSCHE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. CANNOT BE DRIVEN BECAUSE LOSS OF POWER COULD CAUSE SUDDEN STOP AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR HAS KEYLESS ENTRY TO TURN ON AND OFF IGNITION. WHEN I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION BUT FAILED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT WAS LEFT IN DRIVE. I WALKED AWAY FROM THE CAR AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS WHERE IT HIT MY BASKETBALL POLE AND CAUSED QUITE A BIT OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I THINK THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY ON THIS VEHICLE. WITH KEYED ENTRY VEHICLES YOU CAN NOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IT IS IN DRIVE AND MUST BE PLACED IN PARK TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. OTHER KEYLESS VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN SUCH AS THE AUDI A8 HAVE A FEATURE IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IN DRIVE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE PORSCHE PANAMERA, ON THE OTHER HAND, TAKES THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND PUTS IT INTO NEUTRAL SO THAT IT CAN ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHICH I BELIEVE IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. IN MY CASE, IT TOOK THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND MOVED TO NEUTRAL TO ALLOW IT TO ROLL BACKWARDS. IF THERE WAS A CHILD BEHIND MY CAR THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF DESIGN FEATURE OF KEYLESS VEHICLES THAT WOULD PUT THE CAR IN TO PARK WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF OR AT LEAST NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO ACCIDENTALLY TURN OFF THE VEHICLE WILL IN STILL IN THE DRIVE POSITION. I AM NOT SURE HOW OTHER MANUFACTURERS DEAL WITH KEYLESS ENTRY BUT I FEEL THE DESIGN OF THE PORSCHE WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A SERIOUS INJURY. *JS
