Coolant pipe burst or started a sudden leak and lost all the coolant while driving. I had to have the vehicle towed and repaired which costed me $2750. Porsche is aware of the problem but does not have a solution, until someone is killed when the vehicle stalls while driving.
On [xxx] at around 6pm the airbag light displayed in instrument cluster and remained steady after vehicle was placed in motion. I called my nearest service dealer at porsche carlsbad and they ran a vehicle diagnosis using their scanning tool. The finding was that the front passenger seat occupancy sensor / module was defective and needs replacement. The dealer also said that a recall had been issued (for which my vehicle's vin was not listed). I called porsche company north america and they said my vin was not part of that campaign to fix this issue, but i feel that this recall related to vehicle safety should have included my vehicle since it was within the make/model/year and trim of those included in the recall.

My vehicle is experiencing the following fuel system issue listed below in the nhtsa campaign. Porsche will not recognize my vehicle as being part of this recall issue, and this is a significant safety issue for my family. Your help in rectifying this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Porsche macan has known transfer case problem. Should be recalled. I have a 2017 macan with 15,000 miles and transfer case bad.
Brakes slammed on and hard left turn initiated. Collision warning light flashed. There was nothing in front of me. Action caused an artery to tear in my lung. Hospitalized with life threating injury. Car had recently received 1st year service. Called dealer service manager to report failure, he said the car could not do this. Car has not been inspected at this time. Lawyer advised not to drive car, but also said his team had no equipment to review failure, needed to be taken to dealer who would probably not work with him. There are many of these failures on the internet, also have friends how have had similar issues multiple times. How do i proceed?
I was driving the car and warning light “possible r gear fault-driving permitted” came on. While driving on a highway at 50 mph, gear shift started malfunctioning and oscillating between 2nd and 4th gears and i could not change the gears. I lost control of the car speed and it would drop to 25-30mph even if i stepped on the gas pedal. It felt like the car would come to a complete standstill on a highway with other cars driving around me at 50-60+ mph. I had my car towed to porsche dealership. They spent 2 weeks at the dealership and said that they have replaced a transmission valve body. They told me to take the car back. Based on suddenly losing the control of the car speed on a highway, i did not feel safe to put the car back on the road. Porsche company offered money to cover rental car cost but refused to repurchase the car and provide me with another lease car. Although they were not sure whether this incident could recur and i told them that, for the safety of myself and other drivers, this car should not be placed back on the road. There are several porsche owner forums which reported multiple identical incidents but both dealership and porsche company were ignoring the owners’ concerns and putting the problem under a rug. This is a serious manufacturer defect and porsche cars are known to have these transmission issues but no recall has been made to address such significant safety issues that may cause multi-vehicle accidents. They are also refusing to issue a statement that they would be fully liable if a similar transmission failure recurs and results in accidents that could potentially endanger the drivers involved. I would be happy to provide the car for inspection.
I was pulling into a parking space going 3-5 mph when the car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb and wouldn't stop. Yes, available for inspection 2. Car wouldn't stop- heading into a storefront with people outside 3. Not yet 4. Yes, dealer and pending with insurance rep 5. None
Vehicle speeds up and breaks uncontrollably. When stopped it displays several codes on the dashboard 1) power steering fail, increased effort, driving permitted, 2) gra/acc fault driving permitted 3) faulty windshield wipers no fault codes are found with a code reader.
Not in a crash, but the leather on the dashboard is peeling off and airbags may not deploy properly because of it. I think this is a safety concern if not addressed early. Leather on dashboard is peeling off due to poor manufacturing.
Oil leak from "brocken aluminum bolts" that do not hold up and are failing to hold up from basic car use. A safety recall on this manufacturing parts issue should have been mandatory back in 2015. When this issue started and macan 2015-2022 all have this issue and are now been replaced with steel bolts. It is costing consumers $2000-$8000 in repairs do the safety issues of bad manufacturing of bolts used. [xxx] sounds similar to the fiasco with the 958. 1 gen cayenne v8s using aluminum bolts for the variocam adjusters in the engine which eventually resulted in a nhtsa mandated recall due to the bolt heads sometimes shearing off and causing all sorts of nastiness (my cayenne turbo had this recall). Of course the cayenne's instance of using inappropriate aluminum bolts/fasteners resulted in much more serious consequences \than a just slow oil leak/seepage as is the case as its not been totally documented with the macan v6s yet , but not good in either case.
