2016 PORSCHE CAYENNE- Frisco, TX
Porsche dashboard leather shrunk and staples pulled out. I was told that if the vehicle was in an accident the airbag might not deploy correctly. The Porsche dealer looked at it and recommended replacing it. This is a very common issue.

2024 PORSCHE PANAMERA- Leesburg, VA
1. The field component system the primary issue is stalling under normal operating conditions. The vehicle is available for inspection. It is currently at Chantilly dealership. 2. The stalling issue occurred twice under normal driving conditions, which created a significant risk of an accident. The first time I was driving alone, crossing a major freeway when it stalled the second time, my daughter was with me under the same circumstance, which could’ve led to a dangerous situation for my family as well as other vehicles. 3. The dealership have stated that they could not replicate the issue. They have not been able to reproduce the stalling or deemed further repairs necessary. 4. The vehicle has been with the dealership since November 22, 2024. They have not worked with Porsche engineering on my concern with the stalling. 5. There were no warning or lights displayed prior to the stalling issue. The stalling first appeared shortly after I purchased the vehicle and I contacted the dealership on that issue as well as software errors that stated that safety issues were currently restricted. Please note, the vehicle has been in the dealership positions more than mine the software issue they said they fixed however, this would be the second attempt I have not had a vehicle back in my possession to be able to verify that however, it is the stalling that is a safety risk, and I believe is life-threatening. We have requested from Porsche to see and understand the repairs that were conducted on my vehicle. Currently there are only codes listed and we have asked several times so we could see if the following were completed checking: fuel system check,the engine control unit, check for transmission issues, electrical malfunctions, air intake or exhaust problems, faulty auto control systems, and break-in period Complications. Currently according to your system, there are no recalls however, Porsche stated that they fixed recalls on my vehicle so I am confused.

2023 PORSCHE CAYENNE- el dorado hills, CA
In-car entertainment, transmissions controls, audio controls, climate controls (front and rear) , car will shut off without turning the key in off position, often times the vehicle will just terminate a call with no warning - no explantion, the rear camera on the screen in reverse show the rear of the car but it stays on for like 10 seconds when moving forward in drive, all of these are selected one the center console but placing your hand and fingers on the panel you accidentally select features or controls - this is dangerous because you hit things that you don't want and is distracting. the entertainment system does not have the features they represent that they do and you are constantly distracted with trying to find a feature that it doesn't have or can't find; using the phone will not allow you to use the keypad until stopped. so what you end up doing is using your iPhone which becomes a safety issue. there are so many problems that I can't message all. If you can give me a link I can't send or upload about 50 videos. I think all around to use the center counsel because hazardous design as to how to use a feature - it's a massive safety issue and hazard. I believe that many owners have been in accidents and caused damages and perhaps deaths. Porsche will not respond after the first call a few months ago. I was told by a dealer to contact the BBB - they told me that Porsche cars of America has a D minus rating and never has responded to customer complaints. I did discover that they made massive changes in the 2024 model. no wonder - I will stop here - will; attach a few photo's but there is no explanation. please help!!

2017 PORSCHE 911- San Diego, CA
The rear window seal is severely breaking apart, severely cracked and others are melting. This may affect condensation inside the vehicle and potentially be a safety hazard. Several reports on this problem can be seen at porsche forums. I believe this is a manufacturing defect and is a potential safety hazard on many porsche vehicles.

2022 PORSCHE 911- Mesa, AZ
A leak in a high pressure fuel line was releasing gas on top of the motor. I smelled gas, and had vehicle towed to the dealership where I purchased the car. The dealership has confirmed the cause of the fuel leak and ordered the replacement fuel line. Since it’s a leak in this fuel line, NO check engine lights or other warnings flagged the problem. In my opinion, this is a significant safety problem that could lead to a fire and potential injury.

2017 PORSCHE CAYENNE- MILLIS, MA
Passenger side dash board leather cover has pulled away from dash - thus creating a safety issue with the airbag. Porsche has examined the damage and recommended a repair but will not cover the cost - but did advise that in the event of a accident - they do see a potential problem with the passenger side air bag deploying safely (or not at all). There should be a recall on this by Porsche as it's a safetly issue.
