DOCUMENTING THIS COMMON TRANSFER CASE PROBLEM. FELT AND HEARD SHUTTER/NOISE AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN DRIVING SLOW AND JERKY MOVEMENT UPON ACCELERATING. CAR HAD ONLY 40K MILES AND UNLUCKILY JUST PAST WARRANTY. REPLACED TRANSFER CASE FOR $4500 IN SEP 2018 AND NOW IN JUL 2020, ANOTHER 14K MILES LATER, I'M STARTING TO HEAR SIMILAR SYMPTOMS BREWING...NOT A GOOD SIGN. PORSCHE SHOULD GIVE REPLACEMENT TRANSFER CASE ANOTHER 4 YEARS WARRANTY INSTEAD OF JUST 1 YEAR.

AT ABOUT 25,000 THE CAYENNE STARTED MAKING BUMP UPON ACCELERATION AND ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING. I UNDERSTAND THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE UNLESS ADDRESSED .THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE TRANSFER CASE WHICH WAS REPLACED. NOW WE HAVE 49,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT IS STARTING TO EXHIBIT THE SAME TRANSFER CASE SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE. IN GOOGLING THE INTERNET THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE QUITE PREVALENT WITH BOTH THE PORSCHE CAYENNE AND MACAN. MOREOVER, THE COST REPLACE A TRANSFER CASE IS IN THE $5,000 WHEN OUR OF WARRANTY WHICH MY 2014 IS NOW. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM I WOULD HOPE PORSCHE WOULD STEP UP AND RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND MAKE GOOD. I ALSO HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA LAND CRUSIER WITH 245,000 MILES WHICH HAS NEVER HAD MANY PROBLEMS AND CERTAINLY NO TRANSFER CASE PROBLEM.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP GEARS SEEMS TO BE MISSING AND JUMPY BETWEEN 2-5 GEARS, LIKE SHUDDERS ON GEARS. I READ THAT IT'S COMMON PROBLEM WITH CAYENNE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY PORSCHE AS IT IS VERY COSTLY. VEHICLE ONLY HAVE 21,000 MILES.

POSSIBLE TO CAUSE T BONE ACCIDENT. HIGH CHANCES OF COMPLETE POWER LOSS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY TRANFER CASE RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
HUGE LAG WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATION PETAL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. IT IS INTERMITTENT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING RIGHT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN , , OR CLEAR TO THE FLOOR, WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO POWER FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT MANDATE RECALL FOR EMISSIONS. THE OTHER ISSUE AFTER THE EMISSION RECALL IS THE VEHICLE ACC/PAS SYSTEM WILL ERROR OUT WHEN CRUISE ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO ACCELERATE FOR AN INCLINE IN THE ROAD. THERE HAS BEEN COUPLE OF TIMES ALSO; REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ACC/PAS FAILURE.

CAR LURCHES STARTING AROUND 25 MILES PER HOUR AND CONTINUING UNTIL REACHING A CRUISING SPEED 50 OR THEREABOUTS. TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT A GERMAN CAR REPAIR COMPANY AND ASKED THEM TO EVALUATE MY FINDINGS. THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HEAR THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH CAYENNES AND ITS A VERY PRICEY AND IMPACTFUL PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

POWER TRAIN
FAILURE OF TRANSFER CASE IN TRANSMISSION AT 74000 MILES. THIS IS A WELL DESCRIBED PROBLEM AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET IN PORSCHE CAYENNES. PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSFER CASE AND PORSCHE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS TO ME AND MANY OTHER OWNERS. AS A RESULT OF THE PROBLEM THE VEHICLE CAN LURCH FORWARD AND ALSO FAIL TO ACCELERATE CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES. PORSCHE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING MORE THAN PAY 20% OF THIS 5000 DOLLAR REPAIR. I URGE THE NHTSA TO INITIATE A FORMAL INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM AND FORCE PORSCHE CARS OF NORTH AMERICA TO INITIATE A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AND FOR THE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS LIKE MYSELF WHO HAVE SPENT 70000 TO 90000 ON A PREMIUM SUV AND ARE LEFT HELPLESS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
