2004 PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO Complaints

WHILE MERGING FROM HIGHWAY 141 ONTO I-70 THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE FROM HIGHWAY SPEED TO MERGE INTO INTERSTATE TRAFFIC AND NO NOTICEABLE ACCELERATION WAS APPARENT. THE EXTREMELY CONCERNING ABOUT THIS INCIDENT WAS THAT THIS MERGE WAS BEING EXECUTED BETWEEN TWO 18-WHEELERS. WHILE THERE WAS AMPLE SPACE TO MERGE IF THE VEHICLE HAD RESPONDED WITHOUT HESITATION TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL INPUTS, THE EXPERIENCED HESITATION MADE THE MERGE DICEY.*AK

WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING LOT INTO MAJOR CITY STREET THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR INPUT WITH APPROACHING TRAFFIC.*AK THE VEHICLE MOVED OFF FROM A STOP AND INTO THE CLOSEST LANE FINE BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS MORE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THERE WAS NOTICEABLE DELAY/HESITATION, AS TRAFFIC BORE DOWN ON ME, BEFORE THE CAYENNE DECIDED TO ACCELERATE. CONTACTED DEALER WHO NOTED THAT THERE WAS AN UNOFFICIAL FIX THAT MAY ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

CUSTOMER CAMPAIGN NOTICE RECEIVED REGARDING MAIN WIRING HARNESS ROUTING. AS WELL AS PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE NOT RESPONDING TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL.*MR THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY DOES NOT RESPOND TO INPUT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEAL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SO MANY TIMES THAT THE CONSUMER DECIDED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN STORAGE AND NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAS COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER INSIST THAT THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. *NM
