ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY I STARTED HEARING A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE, SOMETHING LIKE A LIFTER HITTING THE BLOCK. I PULLED BACK IN TO MY DRIVEWAY AND CALLED A REPAIR SHOP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. WHEN MEETING WITH THE TECHNICIAN I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE HAD A SCORED CYLINDER AND THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MODEL AND YEAR. THE ONLY RECOURSE TO FIX THE ISSUE WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. A REPLACEMENT ENGINE WOULD COST $17 -35,000 - MORE THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. IF I WERE TO REPLACE IT WITH A USED ENGINE, I WOULD BE DESTINED FOR A REPEAT OF THE SAME ISSUE. IF THIS ISSUE IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES? I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEALERSHIP MAKE THE DIAGNOSIS I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOLD, BUT THERE IS NOT A AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WITHIN 500 MILES OF MY LOCATION. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS, STRUCTURE
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 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 PEELING OFF. *TR

DID EMERGENCY UNLOCK OF TRANSMISSION TO GET OUT OF GARAGE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT PORSCHE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK NOW, TOLD AT FIRST IGNITION SWITCH WAS BAD. REPLACED AND STILL NOT FUNCTIONING (NO START) NOW TOLD CONTROL MODULE MUST BE REPLACED AS IT GOT "WET" AND VEHICLE INTERIOR FLOOR HAD GOTTEN WET.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WITHOUT WARNING LUCKILY IT HAPPENED TO MY YOUNG SON SO HE COULD GET OUT AND GET IN FROM OTHER DOOR TO DRIVE TO DEALER. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE NEW DOOR LOCK, ACCORDING TO DEALER SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO FEW CARS.IN THE PAST. MY CONCERN IS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IS IT WAS ME OR MY WIFE , WE ARE NOT FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO GET OUT FROM OTHER DOORS. WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY WHEN YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DOOR LOCKS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR OLDER MODELS THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE WAY TO OPEN DRIVERSIDE DOOR MANUALLY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF THE SUDDEN FELT A STRONG COOLANT SMELL, SLOWED DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND DROVE HOME. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE COUPLING PIPE THAT INSERTS INTO THE WATER DISTRIBUTOR WAS COMING OUT. THE GLUE THAT HELD THE PIPE IN PLACE FAILED AND THE PIPE WAS 60% OUT! I STOPPED IN TIME BEFORE THE PIPE COMPLETELY BLEW OUT AND SUDDEN LOSS OF COOLANT OCCURRED, THE PIPE WAS LITERALLY FINGER TIGHT, NOTHING HELD IT IN PLACE ANYMORE. PORSCHE QUOTES $3500 TO REPAIR!!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE A SERVICE ACTION CLEAR AS DAY. *JS

ENGINE
WE FOUND A HUGE LEAK IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED, A PORSHE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THAT ON THE COOLANT DISTRIBUTOR BEHIND THE ENGINE THERE IS A COUPLER WHICH WAS GLUED ONTO THE DISTRIBUTOR. THE GLUE DETACHED AND THE COOLANT PIPE BLEW OUT CAUSING THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO LOSE COOLANT. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A PURE DESIGN ISSUE AND PORSCHE DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON IT. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX THAT PROBLEM DUE TO BAD DESIGN. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE PORSCHE CAYENNE IS NOTORIOUS FOR DRIVE / CARDAN SHAFT FAILURES. HAD BAD DRIVE SHAFT NOISES, AND SUBSEQUENT PREMATURE FAILURE, IT WAS A WORN CENTER SUPPORT DAMPENER AND A FAULTY CENTER SUPPORT BEARING. I EXPERIENCED BANGING, BUMPING, GRINDING NOISES FROM MY PORSCHE CAYENNE AND WAS UNAWARE AT THE TIME IT WAS THE DRIVE SHAFT. I HAVE OUTLINED THE NOISES AND CAUSES BELOW: - A CLANKING OR CLUNKING NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING OR FROM DECELERATION TO ACCELERATION AROUND 35TO 40MPH AND WHILE CAYENNE WAS SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. AROUND 5TH AND 6TH GEAR GOING AROUND 50-60 MPH IT STOPPED. IF I KEPT THE RPM UNDER 200 IT SEEMED TO RUN OK, NO ISSUE, BUT IF I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR HARD OR GUNNED IT, IT WENT HAYWIRE. IT WAS THE RESULT OF A WORN AND DAMAGED DAMPENER OR DIAPHRAGM LOCATED ON THE CENTER SUPPORT BEARING. THIS CONDITION WILL ALLOW FOR THE DRIVE SHAFT TO TRAVEL UP AND DOWN WITH VARIATIONS IN DRIVE LINE TORQUE. THIS MOVEMENT WILL PRODUCE A LOUD CLANKING OR CLUNKING SOUND AND MAKE FOR A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THIS CONDITION IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON FAILURES ON THE CAYENNE DRIVE SHAFT, ALL MODELS 2003 TO 2006. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FREE FIX BY PORSCHE BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY OF THE VEHICLES AND MODEL YEARS STATED ABOVE! BUT NO, PORSCHE QUOTED ME $2,500 TO FIX IT. NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AREA, THE HARD RUBBER DAMPENER ON THE CENTER SUPPORT SHAFT OF THE POWER TRAIN, WHICH BY THE WAY IS POSSIBLE. NO, PORSCHE WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER TRAIN FOR $2,500. *JS

ENGINE
THE CAR SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A HUGE LEAK IN COOLANT. AFTER DIAGNOSE, IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT ON THE COOLANT DISTRIBUTOR BEHIND THE ENGINE THERE IS A COUPLER WHICH WAS GLUED ONTO THE DISTRIBUTOR. THE GLUE WILL BREAK DOWN OVER A FEW YEARS AND THE COOLANT PIPE BE BLOWN OUT CAUSING THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO LOSE COOLANT, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS IS A PURE DESIGN ISSUE AND PORSCHE DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON. THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING IS THAT IN ORDER TO FIX IT, THE ENTIRE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAS TO COME OUT, WHICH WILL COST MOST THAN 5000 TO 6000 DOLLARS

AIR BAGS
THERE ARE OVER 3,000 COMPLAINTS ABUT THE AIR BAGS ON THIS MODEL ON THE INTERNET. I TOOK SUV INTO DEALER TO SEE IF AIR BAG WAS A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT THE WEEK BEFORE. DEALER CHARGED ME $150. DEALER SAID NO IT WAS A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG IN STEERING WHEEL. I CONTACTED USA HEADQUARTERS OF PORSCHE, BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL YET EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE OVER 3,000 VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT REPORTED ON THE INTERNET BY AN ATTORNEY. I CONTACTED THE NY ATTORNEY GENERAL, THEY TOLD THE DEALER THEY SHOULD REFUND MY $150 AND REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER REFUSED. NY ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID I SHOULD TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. COST FOR REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $1,200 BY DEALER TO FIX DEFECT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE CHECK/ADD COOLANT ALARM/ICON APPEARED IN THE DASH DISPLAY. AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE COOL DOWN, CHECKED THE RADIATOR COOLANT RESERVOIR TANK AND FOUND LITTLE TO NO COOLANT IN SIDE THE RESERVOIR TANK. SUBSEQUENTLY AS I CLOSED THE HOOD I HAPPENED TO SEE A FRESH TRAIL OF COOLANT FROM WHERE I HAD BACKED INTO THE PARKING SPOT. LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE COOLANT WAS STEADILY LEAKING OUT FROM THE REAR, CENTER LEFT BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE SPLASH/COVER. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY THE REPAIR FACILITY, THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO HAVE SUFFERED A COOLANT PIPE FAILURE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE SUV NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE FUEL GELLED AND RECOMMENDED THAT "I" HAVE THE FUEL STATION PLACE THE 'CORRECT ADDITIVE' TO THE DIESEL FUEL. MY HUSBAND HAS HAD TWO DIESEL VEHICLES FROM OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS, BUT HE HAS NEVER HAD ANY ENGINE START PROBLEMS. HE IS STILL FILLING HIS TANK AT THE SAME STATION. SINCE THEN, I HAVE CHANGED THE DIESEL FUEL STATION AND NOW GO TO ANOTHER BUSY PLACE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TODAY, TWO (2) WEEKS LATER, WITH A DIFFERENT DIESEL FUEL SOURCE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START (ODOMETER READS 4980 MILES) THE DEALERSHIP (FROM WHERE THE SUV WAS PURCHASED) COULD ONLY MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, WHICH WON'T START, TO AN INDOOR GARAGE. IN OUR AREA, THIS IS IMPRACTICAL. VERY FEW COMPANIES AND STORES PROVIDE INDOOR GARAGES. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE MULTIPLE TIMES. THE PORSCHE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO COME UP WITH ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS UNTIL NOW, 7-1/2 HRS SINCE MY FIRST CALL. *TR

OWNER OPERATES A 2004 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO, 4.5L V8 ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE, WITH JUST OVER 61,000 MILES BEGAN TO OVERHEAT FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT (DETECTED BY FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURE GAUGE). THE ENGINE COOLANT WAS FOUND TO BE LOW IN THE SERVICE BOTTLE BY APPX. 2 QUARTS WHEN CHECKED AND WAS REFILLED. THE EVENING BEFORE THE INCIDENT OWNER'S SPOUSE REPORTED A LOW COOLANT ALARM MESSAGE HAD DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, COOLANT WAS ABOUT 2 QUARTS LOW IN THE SERVICE BOTTLE AND WAS REFILLED. THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE WAS BEING RUN AT 1500 RPM (FAST IDLE) IN A PARKED POSITION IN THE OWNER'S DRIVEWAY FOR A TEST WHEN A FLOOD OF ENGINE COOLANT WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE ENGINE WAS IMMEDIATELY SECURED TO AVOID DAMAGE. AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED DRIVABLE AND WOULD NEED TO BE TOWED TO A SERVICE FACILITY. AN INVESTIGATIVE TEARDOWN REVEALED A RUPTURED PLASTIC COOLING PIPE INSIDE THE VALLEY OF THE ENGINE, THIS FAILURE REQUIRED REMOVAL OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO DIAGNOSE AND IS NOT A ROADSIDE-REPAIRABLE EVENT. THE EVENT CAUSED LOSS OF MORE THEN 50% OF TOTAL COOLANT VOLUME AS ONLY APPX. 1 GALLON WAS RECOVERED FROM THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO TEARDOWN. A PRESCRIBED REPAIR KIT FOR THIS FAILURE (REPLACEMENT COOLING PIPES KIT) WAS OBTAINED FROM SONNEN PORSCHE, SAN FRANCISCO CA AND INSTALLED BY VEHICLE OWNER. AFTER FILLING OF COOLANT AND TEST DRIVING, NO FURTHER PROBLEM WAS NOTED. *TR

COOLANT LINE/PLASTIC COOLANT HOSE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND MY LOW COOLANT LIGHT APPEARED. WITHIN SECONDS, THE CAR BEGAN SMOKING AND THE TEMP. GAGE RAPIDLY BEGAN TO RISE. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF IMMEDIATELY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO AVOID POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE. I TOWED THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE INDICATED ITS A DESIGN DEFECT FROM PORSCHE AND THE PLASTIC TUBES ARE NOW REPLACED BY OREM ALUMINUM TUBES. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE DESIGN FLAW BY PORSCHE WAS CONCEALED. THE CAYENNE S IS IN THE SHOP AND I'M HOPING THAT ONLY THE HOSES NEED REPLACEMENT AND NOTHING ELSE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. A HUGE DENT IN THE WALLET AS THIS IS A COSTLY FIX. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2008 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO AS A SECOND OWNER BUT BEFORE THE PURCHASE WAS COMPLETED THE COOLANT HOSE RUPTURE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE REPAIR WAS AT A COST WELL NORTH OF $2000 AT THE MOTOR WERKS PORSCHE OF BARRINGTON. I ALSO HAVE A 2002 PORSCHE 996 TURBO WHICH JUST RECENTLY RUPTURED THE COOLANT HOSE. THE COST IS ONCE AGAIN RIGHT AROUND TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. I'M JUST FED UP THAT THIS EPOXY FAILURE WITHIN THE COOLANT SYSTEM WHICH HAS AFFECTED SO MANY PORSCHE OWNERS. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT FIXED EVEN IN THEIR LATER MODELS BUT VERY HAPPY TO FIND OUT THAT MAYBE SOMETHING WILL ARISE WITH THESE COMPLAINTS. *TR
