Porsche has released a recall campaign but after taking my vehicle to a Porsche dealership to fix the recall, they informed me that they have not been given a remedy to the recall.

When turning a corner at lower speeds (15-25mph each time) the car starts shuddering violently and will not accelerate, slowing to a stop. The display shows an engine control error. Once you turn the car off and back on it drives fine.

On nine (9) separate occasions the vehicle which is equipped with Lane Keep Assist (LKA) automatically and without operator intervention will engage LKA which causes abrupt and at times uncontrolled steering action which totally surprises the operator. This occurs at random times approximately 40 to 50 miles per hour. I have taken this into the dealer to no avail and each time they say, CAN NOT DUPLICATE. This is a very dangerous safety item which takes temporary control of the car and it takes…

2026 Porsche Cayenne Coupe. The surround-view and rear backup camera system repeatedly fails. The screen goes completely black, including when shifting into reverse. The Coupe's shortened, sloped rear window creates major blind spots, so the driver depends on the cameras. When they fail, there is effectively no rear visibility. First reported to the dealer 08/20/2026. Each time the cameras fail, Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth also fail and remain unusable, leaving no hands-free phone or…

In June, whilst looking into an engine check light (unrelated minor EVAP issue) my independent German automotive specialist discovered an active coolant leak coming from the water pump assembly on my 2022 Macan S (2.9L EA839 V6 engine). Because my factory warranty had just expired, I took the vehicle to my local Porsche dealership at the beginning of July when they could fit me in under a 'goodwill repair'. The dealership service department denied that an active leak existed, claiming it was…

The car is an electric car. I was driving on the highway and the car shut down completely leaving me without power steering, engine control error, electrical system error. I had to glide to the shoulder of the highway. Luckily traffic was light enough that I was able to get over on the highway and avoid getting hit by other vehicles. I could not open the doors and was locked in the car. I waited, restarted the car and got off the highway. The car shut down two more times while I tried to get…

Vehicle experienced a sudden, complete loss of motive power while driving in active traffic at night, creating an immediate crash hazard. The vehicle had just been picked up from an authorized Porsche Service Center approximately 12 hours prior (picked up between 11:00AM - 12:00 PM, failed at 11:09 PM) after undergoing a comprehensive 60K mile scheduled service and a mandatory manufacturer software recall campaign. Without warning, the vehicle completely stalled and dropped into an…

The contact owns a 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman. The contact stated that while the spouse was driving the vehicle at 70 MPH, abnormal handling occurred, followed immediately by a loud knocking noise. The driver pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and discovered the rear left axle had fractured, detached, and was hanging on the ground. The contact stated the failure was known within the Porsche community. Following the failure, a possible rear gear fault driving permitted message was displayed…

The AC evaporator failed at only 50,000 miles which is a manufacturer defect, as this part is not designed to fail and should withstand the life of the vehicle. When I wrote to Porsche regarding the failure, they tried to indicate or even suggest that this is normal wear and tear and the price of vehicle ownership. That is not a valid statement! This failure is considered premature and there is considerable documented evidence and concern widespread throughout the internet to back up this…

Purchased 2024 carrera S used (1 other owner) no car fax from Porsche down town LA in Dec. in January with around 10k miles. Car is driven just on weekends and now has 12k miles. Two days ago smelled strong raw gas smell and immediately took to Porsche Hawthorne and they confirmed leak in fuel line which as I am reading seem more common and very concerning due to risk of fire - appears a know thing amongst Porsche yet they don’t do anything preventatively about it. They also found front axel…
