Porsche has a big push these days for customer loyalty. I'm sure they'll work with you.

I can't believe Porsche isn't picking this up as a mandatory recall.
Bought our Cayenne for the road trip purpose mostly, now I have to worry about getting burst on the road trip (w/o a warning).

My CS is still under factory warranty, kindda sour to hear that Porsche can't replace it under factory warranty 'til it breaks open on the road. Now I need to rent the Ford/Chevy SUV instead of my Cayenne.


Getting repair is one thing, but wasting my vacation time on the road fixing my own vehicle would be a priceless experience that I would never want to take.

Possibly another item will be the driveshaft, upwards of 70k miles a strong vibration under heavy acceleration and progressively gets worse. I had the problem at 76k, when I took it to my mechanic he had three others there, 2 TT and one S, simple bearing that holds the shaft in place, however you have to replace the entire shaft, $ 750. What a design flaw.

That's another good one, but at least you won't be stuck in the middle of nowhere due to this issue.

How embarrassing, hello, I own this high performance SUV from Porsche but stuck in the middle of nowhere because the manufacture cheaped out when selecting the material for the cooling system failed on this high performance SUV from Porsche.

This really pisses me off...
