Porsche Complaints

2015 Porsche CAYENNE
  • Date of Incident: Feb-05, 2020
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-25, 2024
  • Failed components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING

When i start the vehicle i get an error message that the rear lights are not working properly, but they are functioning well. This message is random and it can show up at anytime. I have contacted porsche about this and they said that this is due to a faulty part that can be replaced, but requires 5000 usd. This problem was there when the vehicle was under warranty, but they never pursued or investigated it.

2023 Porsche TAYCAN
  • Date of Incident: Mar-24, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-24, 2024
  • Failed components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The rear camera of the taycan (all models) when viewing makes it feel like i am in a funhouse as all the images are distorted. The camera is actually unusable. I can see this potentially causing accidents for those that are using it. Can’t even tell from the pole or car next me how close or far it is from me. My 2021 jeep wrangler willys camera is far superior as was the rear camera on my 2014 bmw gran turismo. Can you please ask for an update as it should be required.

2024 Porsche 911
  • Date of Incident: Mar-03, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-16, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Heard a ticking noise while driving. Pulled over, on freeway. It was not a safe situation parked on side of a major freeway. Turned off car to look around the engine and found nothing. Started the car again and it died within 5 seconds. The electric system completely died after and would not crank. Got it towed to dealer after waiting for tow truck 3 hours. I was really scared sitting in my that someone would crash into me. Dealer has now the engine apart diagnosing it. It is a failed engine and will need a brand new motor.

2017 Porsche MACAN
  • Date of Incident: Mar-01, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-14, 2024
  • Failed components: AIR BAGS and ENGINE

Airbag light comes on and off intermittently i am aware there were some problems with the airbag sensor that year and recalls for other models, not my vin, i have called and confirmed there are none for mine. Seems to act up more after or while i have a passenger so i suspect (almost positive) this is for the passenger airbag. Also when i have a passenger the amber indicator that says airbag on off will randomly switch to off and i'll get the dash light. This makes me think its the airbag weight sensor pad that deteriorates easily that other cars had a recall for but not mine. No water was spilled on the seat before it started acting up the way it has been. As well, the engine motor mounts have a tendency to break fairly easily and fast causing vibrations and possible safety issues.

2018 Porsche CAYENNE S E-HYBRID
  • Date of Incident: Feb-11, 2024

2024 Porsche CAYENNE
  • Date of Incident: Mar-02, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-04, 2024
  • Failed components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING

My 2024 cayenne is outfitted with the led hd matrix headlights. The low beam lights "when adjusted to specifications" only project 30-40ft down the road. This is very dangerous not being able to see adequately in front of the car especially where i live which have many deer. I'm told this is partially because the us does not allow full hd matrix functionality. Porsche should not sell vehicle which do not function properly in the usa>

2015 Porsche MACAN
  • Date of Incident: Feb-18, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Feb-28, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE

Coolant venting hose leaking. Apparently, a known problem with porsche design but nothing has been done about it. It cost me $3,500 to get it fixed after the car stopped in the middle of highway and had to get towed to the porsche dealership. Someone has to do something about it!
