WANTED: Owner Manual for 2005 Cayenne Off-Road Navigation
This was and continues to be the only owner manual I lack for my 2005 Cayenne Turbo. I am eager to buy it outright or a copy (PDF via e-mail would work) of one. I am trying to figure out how this add-on works and my manual refers me to the separate owner manual specific to the instructions that came with the vehicle new.
I got mine CPO last summer and this is one aspect of it I need functional in Alaska. I am trying to find out what works on my specific SUV. It is highly optioned and has required on average $1,000 per month of repairs since arriving here in November.
If it were not for the CPO warranty, I could not afford to maintain it! Alas, that expires this coming June.
Please help me learn my SUV and shake her down. I'll not bore you with all the details fo the failures and warranty work but let me warn you, they break!
Sadly, Porsche (apparently P of North America) does not honor their warantee very well. I have had three minor part failures that P of NA refused to cover!!!
For the first, P of NA blamed me even though they never heard from me how the breakage occured!
But my local dealer covered it out of their own pocket. When the new parts came in they were considerably beefier and redesigned indicating clearly that Porsche knew of the problem with the original inferior design!
Now, there are two other parts that are also of inferior design (I guess borrowed from the Toureg.) that are broken and P of NA REFUSED/S TO COVER THEM.
Thus, one must conclude that Porsche's CPO warranty is next to meaningless. I guess that Porsche mystique and quality have died with their conversion to modern manufacturing methods and modern markeitng mathods making it on par with Toyota and ever other car maker.
Witness the first Porsche TV ads this year.
Sales must be worried.
Sorry for the rant but I am pi$$ed and feel cheated.
If you have the 2005 Off-Road Navigation manual or access to one, I'd give $30 for that slim instuction set.
Thank you,
