Today is my 3rd day of driving my brand new imported cayenne GTS and my first porsche vehicle.
its generally a great car. but so far, I realized couple problems with it and kind of disappointed. And I am posting here to see if any of those are common problems with Cayenne.....

First, the rear windshield washer's cover fell off on the road, and I found it missing on the 1st day....

then the next day, I recognize the rear seat lock (see the picture below) is in defective and cannot re-lock easily ( unless you push it very HEAVILY)

Has anyone had similar problem as mine? and is it easy to fix?

I am just not feeling good that a 110k vehicle has such problems.
P.S. Sorry for the poor grammar.

 

This is the same in my wifes Cayenne S...figured it was standard lol.

 

don't expect too much. my factory tint has bubbles...

 

i took my back wiper cap off before it "fell" off on it's own.

 

my CTT doesn't have problems that u described above if that helps.

btw, u paid $110k for ur GTS. i thought these run around $90k fully loaded?

 

he's in Canada..so maybe some custom fees or whatever.

 

my bad, i didn't realize he's from Canada.

 

For the same car, msrp is higher in Canada.

 

Dont have a GTS. Actually right now dont even have an '06... (dont ask) but my 08 is due in 3 weeks!!

Are you talking about reclosing the seat backs?

In my 06 - the latching back of the seats always took a good thump. I dont see it as an issue?

As for the cap - surely the dealer will fix it for you FOC?

Best,

Simon.

 

i have the same problem as you,and i even have more problem than you,since i bought my CTTS,i already took my car back dealer for fix problem more than 10 times in one and half year.

 

my rear wiper cover popped off too...
they made me buy a new one and it is packaged only with the microswitch @ $30

they told me it was a new design and better than the one on my 06...

Obviously they still haven't quite figured it out.

 

MCL is selling a brand new GTS with 115k not including tax.
Mine is imported from US and its 15-20k cheaper than MCL's.

 

My cover fell off twice at the car wash...first time, they found it, second time, no such luck. I say just go back to the salesman and have him buy you a new cover.
Got anymore pictures of it? How's the driving experience been?

 

Hello99, may I ask what percentage of the buying price do you have to pay for customs and do you have to pay GST? I am thinking of importing one for my father who lives in Vancouver also. Thanks.

 

Is the factory 'tint' a surface film? That would be a first I think.

I thought it was an embedded layer in the laminated glass. If it has bubbles I'd have PCNA replace the glass at once. That could be classified as a potential hazard if it affects visibility.
