So, with over 5,000K miles now I've been able to pin point that I feel a vibration in the steering when when the RPM's are at EXACTLY 800 and then 1800. I feel it even when I am in "Park" and depress the accelerator and hold it steady at those RPM points for a few seconds, although the vibration is more pronounced when I am in "Drive" and I do the same thing. (Try this-- Put your car in drive and move the RPM's to 800...rolling forward slowly...then keep it at 800 for 5 seconds or so... Do you notice a distinct vibrationin the steering wheel compared to the otherwise dampened feel of the wheel?

It doesn't seem to matter what gear I'm in... I feel it in all of them, except that when I am 'at speed' on the highway in 8th gear at 1800 RPMs (about 80 mph) I do not feel a vibration.

I should note that when accelerating quickly through those RPM points I feel the viration, although only briefly because the RPMs are obviously not being held at those points. I also do feel a vibration from time to time (someone described it as "crunchiness" on slow turns... For eg, I always feel it when turning into my driveway, but not necessarily on every turn... I'm thinking this is connected to the car being at the RPM points noted about for a period of time as I am making certain turns...

At least one forum member has tested their CS and has not felt this, but others have. I recall feeling a similar vibration in the steering wheel on my dealer's loaner car (when I was in for soemthing else) although I do not recall if it occurred exactly at these RPM points.

The vibration is not present at other RPM points, although

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

 

None so far on mine but I have only driven 400 miles since date of pick up from the dealer. Did U notice it from day 1 ?

 

I picked up my 2011 CayenneS from dealer about two weeks ago and only had 250 miles on it. It's very smooth compare with my 2006 CayenneS. I have not noticed a steering wheel vibration problem so far. My suggestion is if you believe there is problem, please contact your dealership and let them know. If they cannot confirm the problem, call Porsche North America, and ask them to put it on file for even fix it. This is very important, because if there is something went wrong later, you can show them the problem happened long time ago. (sometime, dealer wouldn't file your car's problem). I have a super bad experence with my 06 CayenneS steering wheel. But it not the vibration, it made noise when turn, and when to two dealership to fix. None can notice and none can fix.

 

I have no discernable viabrations in the steering at any speeds. My build date was 8/26, wonder if they resolved that issue?

 

None here - any rev/ speed....
