I received a red error stating that there was an electrical system error and I couldn’t operate my vehicle on Oct 18 when the vehicle was parked at home. I had to tow the vehicle to the dealer and when they inspected it, they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I brought the vehicle back home and then less than a month later on November 7 I got the same error when the vehicle was parked at home. I had to tow the vehicle again to the dealer. And at this time they told me that there is an issue with the high voltage battery. They have not given me a loaner, and I am without a vehicle. I do not know when the issue will be resolved.

Vehicle suddenly slammed on brakes on highway I90 in Chicago for NO apparent reason at 25mph. The car came to an immediate halt and if not for shoulder cars behind me would have stuck me. I am afraid to drive car. Dealership down plays faulty sensor, car has 2,000 miles. What assurance do I have to trust new sensor. System not redundant. I had no control of my vehicle and my life was at jeopardy. I will not trust.cat. Porsche is aware of issue for years yet nothing done to resolve. Phantom braking concerns litter the internet

Car has a red warning light come on that says engine control error park vehicle in a safe place. This happened on the freeway 4 times took it in to Porsche they claimed they fixed it. When the light comes on you have to stop the car and restart it. You can not accelerate. After it was claimed to be fixed it happened again but this time applied braking intermediary aggressively. The car behind me stoped in time before hitting me but just barely. Its very unsafe.

FACTORY INSTALLED SPARE TIRE FAILED TO INFLATE AND ATTACH TO WHEEL RIM WHEN NEEDED TO REPLACE A FLAT TIRE. NONE OF THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WITH AAA, DISCOUNT TIRE OR PORSCHE DEALERSHIPS WERE ABLE TO DO SO. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE DEFECTS ON OR IN THE SPARE. THE TIRE HAD BEEN USED POSSIBLY ONLY ONCE BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. PORSCHE REFUSED TO REPLACE IT AND I WAS FORCED TO BUY A NEW ONE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY

The heater does not work, requires a part change and this is the 2nd time in two years. Only blowing cold air.

I own a 2018 Macan GTS and the passenger airbag sensor was defective. My VIN was not covered by the NHTSA’s recall (21V131000) thought it is the same part that was defective and is the same make/model/year. I have submitted a request to Porsche for reimbursement for the repair, but they have denied my request without explanation.

The right front suspension failed. Something broke so that the wheel/brake component bent away from the car causing a sudden left hand turn/jerk. This was confirmed upon exiting the car and looking at the front right semi-attached wheel. The car traveled THROUGH highway safety cables, front windshield shattered, right passenger side arm bag deployed and car stopped in median before going into oncoming traffic. The car is currently being picked up and accessed by insurance company. No warning lamps or messages. The front end did seem to "float" prior to the accident - I figured I had a tire problem and was looking to exit the highway up the road. I went to the ER and had flying glass injuries resulting from the crash. Car is a "garage queen!" I never race or have never been on a race track. I have all records of care. No prior accidents or changes have been made to the car. It is 22 years old and was in excellent shape. I have read about incidents like this since the accident - specific to this car model in online sources. I am reporting this to my local Porsche club also so they can be proactive.
