Leather dashboard cover is separating from the dashboard with staples being pulled up. I am concerned the airbag in the dash may deploy improperly and/or dangerously.
Porsche Cayenne dashboard leather shrunk and staples pulled out. The airbag in the dashboard may not deploy properly in the event when there is an accident. Porsche dealer recommended the dashboard to be replaced. Many vehicles have this issue after warranty is out
The optional Leather Dashboard is peeling away from the base of the windshield. The cutout in the leather that aligns with the passenger airbag is now out of alignment and there is concern if the airbag will deploy properly in an accident.
Transmission transfer case issues immediately after acceleration between 3rd and 4th gear. Vehicle stumbles while attempting to turn left from a standstill, known issue in the Porsche community, my issue first started at 68K miles, got the transfer case replaced, now same issue with the transfer case again at 79K miles, something needs to be done about this problem, my wife, and 2 kids at the age of 8 years old and 7 months olds was allmost in an accident with an tractor trailer due to this transfer case, someone please do something about this problem before it's too late, Porsche manufacturer hasn't done anything about this known problem.
When accelerating the vehicle sputters and catches. This is extremely dangerous if trying to accelerate on a highway or should you need to accelerate to avoid a collision. My vehicle was bought brand new and currently only has 23,600 miles on it. This should not happen to a car with very low mileage. This issue happens while turning, while on the highway, while in reverse, and while on a city street. I took the car to Porsche and they identified that the car needs a new transfer case. This is unacceptable as this is extremely dangerous. This issue seems to have happened on 100S of Porsche.
