ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DURING NORMAL COMMUTE TO WORK DRIVING, A MESSAGE "CHECK DIM BEAM" APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE BOARD. UPON ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FAULTY DIM BEAM HEADLAMP BULB, I FOUND HEADLAMP HARNESS WIRING AND ALL INTERNAL HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY WIRING IS CRACKED AND CRUMBLING AND CONDUCTORS ARE EXPOSED AND CAUSING SHORTS AND APPARENT LAMP FAILURE. OTHER HEADLAMP LIGHTING (SIDE DIRECTIONAL LAMP) LIGHTING FLASHED ON AND OFF WHEN HARNESS WAS TOUCHED, AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FLASHED AND TURNED OFF AND ON BY THEMSELVES, PARTICULARLY THE RADIO. WHEN THE SUSPECT DIM BEAM LAMP WAS SWAPPED WITH OPPOSITE (PASSENGER SIDE, THE REPLACEMENT LAMP DID NOT WORK BUT THE SUSPECT LAMP FROM DRIVER SIDE WORKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THE LAMP ASSEMBLY WAS SUSPECT. UPON OPENING THE ACCESS POINTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ASSEMBLY, THE WIRING WAS SEEN TO BE CRUMBLING AND UNSAFE. I AM WORRIED THAT A FIRE MAY START AND HAVE DISCONTINUED USE OF THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA AS PART OF THE EPA/CARB SETTLEMENT MODIFIED THE 2015 CAYENNE IN A MANNER TO COMPLY WITH THE ORIGINAL EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS. THE MODIFICATION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED PERFORMANCE I SUCH A WAY THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOW DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS OR ATTEMPTING TO OVERTAKE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LACK OF RESPONSE TO THROTTLE INPUT LEADING TO NEAR MISSES BY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS HAS BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AS THE MODIFICATIONS HAVE HAD TIME TO ADAPT OVER TIME. PORSCHE HAS CONTINUED TO DENY AN ISSUE AND STATES THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED AFTER THE MODIFICATION. THIS SUMS UP OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE, IT IS TO THE POINT THAT IT IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE
