Took car in because the car would not engage AWD - the error message showed rear drive only. Sports mode could not be engaged as well. Dealer diagnosed the problem to be transfer case (which was replaced earlier in June 2019). Transfer case replaced and problem still exists -did transfer case really need to be repaired?
And now I'm being told 7 modules are not coded correctly. How does this even happen? Dealer feels replacing 3 modules for $4,900 may correct problem. Car has been with the dealer for 5 weeks straight now. Porsche field reps examined car. The problem seems to stump everyone. Yet I currently have a $8,000+ bill to pay. Feel like a guinea pig with an open wallet. Porsche won't help with problem or cost..
