2022 PORSCHE MACAN

Filed Oct 18, 2026


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 liftgate in the back of the car every time it rains. It opens by itself because of the button in the very back that can open the lift gate. Is it waterproof and water keeps leaking in? And it keeps making it worse and worse. And then it keeps opening up. While I'm driving, and it's extremely unsafe, and like it opens up like 5 minutes after I close it for no reason. Like it starts opening it up. When I start the car, it starts opening it up. When I do this and I it just opens up randomly…

2020 PORSCHE MACAN

I have a non working passenger side headlight. No indication on my interior alert system that there is a problem with my headlight. I have read that Porsche is aware of this problem on their vehicles.

2015 PORSCHE MACAN

Filed Sep 23, 2026


In late August 2026 I noticed a strong gasoline odor in and around the vehicle, particularly after refueling, and stopped driving it immediately. On September 2, 2026, an independent Porsche specialist inspected the fuel-pump service area beneath the rear seat and documented: (1) the low-pressure fuel-pump filter/sender flange was actively leaking liquid fuel and venting gasoline vapor toward the passenger compartment; (2) liquid fuel was pooling on top of the flange assembly; (3) the fuel-pump…

2019 PORSCHE MACAN

Filed Sep 21, 2026


Right headlight assembly (low beam) stops working properly. Running light and high beam works fine but not the low beam. Installed a replacement bought on ebay which worked for a few months but the same issue eventually reappeared.

2019 PORSCHE MACAN

Filed Sep 19, 2026


My 2019 Porsche Macan S driver side low beam lamp failed. As this vehicle is so advanced, it is failing to report headlamp failures. It is safety concern because during the nights it can create blind spots and opposite traffic failed to recognize it is 4 wheeler vehicle.
