Porsche Cayenne problems
The Porsche Cayenne is a series of automobiles manufactured by the German company Porsche since 2002. It is a luxury crossover SUV and has been described as both a full-sized and a mid-sized vehicle. The first generation was known internally within Porsche as the Type 9PA (955/957) or E1. It was the first V8-engined vehicle built by Porsche since 1995, when the Porsche 928 was discontinued. It is also Porsche's first off-road variant vehicle since its Super and Junior tractors of the 1950s, and the first Porsche with four doors. Since 2014, the Cayenne has been sold alongside a smaller Porsche SUV, the Macan.
The second-generation Cayenne (Type 92A or E2) was unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March. The Cayenne shares its platform, body frame, doors and electronics with the similar Volkswagen Touareg and Audi Q7. It received a facelift in 2014 with minor external changes, and introduced a new plug-in E-Hybrid version, with its public launch at the Paris Motor Show. Since 2008, all engines have featured direct injection technology. The third generation (Type PO536) was unveiled in 2017 at Stuttgart.
First generation (E1 9PA; 2002)
The original Porsche Cayenne entered into the global market to a mixed reception, but it proved itself to have excellent performance for an SUV and had comparably good handling as well as powerful engines. The lineup initially consisted of the V8-powered Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo. Later in the model cycle, VR6 and diesel-powered versions joined the lineup. In the eight model years of the E1 generation, a total of 276,652 units were produced.
The base model Cayenne is powered by a 3.2-L VR6 engine producing 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp). The intake manifold is unique to Porsche, but otherwise the engine is largely the same as the VW engine. Acceleration from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) is 9.1 seconds with the manual transmission and 9.7 seconds with the Tiptronic S.

Common Porsche Cayenne problems
The Porsche Cayenne is a luxury SUV that has been popular among consumers for its performance and features. However, like any vehicle, the Cayenne has had its share of common problems reported by owners. Here are some of the most frequently reported issues:
- Heavy Gear Changes & Noisy Transmission: Early Porsche Cayenne owners commonly experienced a heavy downshift from the transmission, accompanied by much louder gear shifts and clunking sounds from the transmission. This problem is often misdiagnosed as a physical failure in the transmission itself, when the more likely cause is in fact the valve body assembly within the transmission.
- Cooling System Problems: The 2004 Porsche Cayenne has had a high number of complaints related to the cooling system, with multiple cars experiencing plastic coolant lines breaking and the center carrier bearing of the driveshaft failing. This has resulted in some cars refusing to start, and repairs can cost upwards of $3,000 in some instances.
- Drivetrain Problems: The 2011 Porsche Cayenne has had complaints from customers about overheating at only 15,000 miles, as well as a complete engine failure at under 40,000 miles. Premature brake wear is another known issue, potentially happening as early as 21,000 miles and costing $3,000 to fix.
- High Maintenance and Repair Costs: The Porsche Cayenne has been reported to have higher than average maintenance and repair costs, with an estimated $20,552 for maintenance and repairs during its first 10 years of service. This is more than the industry average for luxury SUV models by $4,838.
It is important to note that not all Porsche Cayenne models will experience these problems, and many owners have reported positive experiences with the vehicle. However, these common issues are worth considering when purchasing a used Porsche Cayenne.

- Summary: This is not accident related, but what appears to be a systemic issue related to Cayenne and Macan leather dashboards. The issue is related to delamination of the leather dash cover that can impede the safe deployment of the passenger airbag. Many cars are affected and the repair can be a significant expense to owners (~$10K) for vehicles less than 8 years old. There should be a recall to address a largely unaware owner base for a potential safety issue.

- VIN: WP1AD2A24EL

Porsche Cayenne 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-12
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-18
- VIN: WP1AD2A28DL
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: The Drive train consists of an engine, transmission, transfercase, driveshafts and differentials. The Transfercase has failed prior to the normal life cycle. Porsche recognizes this problem on this series of SUV and extends the warranty for 10 years and unlimited mileage. Porsche announced this extension in June 2024. However this does not cover the early models in this series 2011-2013 with the same drivetrain and transfercase. So in effect this failure of the transfer case is not covered on 2014 - 2011 Porsche Cayenne's models with the same transfercase because Porsche delayed the notification to customers. Even though the SUV may have low mileage, they will not warranty or cover my failure.

Porsche Cayenne 2016
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-05
- Date Complaint: 2024-09-05
- VIN: WP1AD2A22GL
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: **Subject**: Urgent Safety Concern: Headlight Condensation and Water Damage in 2015-2018 Porsche Cayenne 958.2 Dear NHTSA, I am writing to report a serious safety issue with the LED matrix headlights on my 2016 Porsche Cayenne GTS (958.2). The problem involves severe condensation buildup within the headlight assembly, leading to water damage and electrical failures. This defect has caused my headlights to fail, particularly during nighttime driving in heavy rain, which significantly reduced visibility. This failure could have resulted in a major accident, putting my life and the lives of others at risk. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue first became noticeable after a rainstorm, where condensation started to build up inside the headlights. Despite multiple visits to my local Porsche dealership, where they confirmed the problem and attempted repairs, the issue continues to persist. I also notified Porsche corporate directly, but neither the dealership nor Porsche offered any assistance or permanent resolution. Both have failed to take responsibility for what I believe is a widespread defect, as I have found numerous similar reports from other owners. No warning lights or messages were displayed prior to the headlight failure, which made the issue even more dangerous. Without any prior indication, I was left driving without functioning headlights at night, in poor weather conditions. Given the potential for catastrophic consequences, I strongly urge NHTSA to investigate this issue. A recall or other corrective action is necessary to prevent further risks to drivers. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the passenger's side camshaft controller and bolts had failed. The dealer determined that both the driver's and passenger's side camshaft controllers and bolts needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the camshaft adjusters and bolts under NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V368000 (Engine) associated with the VIN; however, the contact was not satisfied with the remedy for the recall. The contact stated that the dealer failed to recover all the failed bolts inside the engine. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 131,046.

Each time I test drove the vehicle, I put my seat belt on and after a few seconds of driving the driver's seat belt would come unlatched. Sales person told me that perhaps I wasn't latching it (false latch). After purchase, it has unlatched during my first day of driving it. I see that there are other customers complaining of the same issue on the NHTSA website.

We have previously owned Lexus LX470 and GX470 SUVs. After considering the new GX460 and the BMW X-6, we fell in love with the Cayenne during a test drive and decided to go with it. In my opinion, the power is much superior to the Lexus and similar to the V-8 BMW. Although I would love to have the turbo edition, it's hard to justify the price. We really appreciate the ability to switch between the sport and comfort settings. Surprisingly, the Cayenne GTS rides very smoothly in comfort mode, much smoother than we anticipated. The navigation system with voice control is a significant improvement over my LX470 or our 2008 CLK 550 Mercedes. The iPod interface is also fantastic in its controlability. It's a great car!

Have had many luxury SUV's (LR,BMW & MB); hands down the Porsche Cayenne Diesel is the best of the bunch. Still as solid as a rock! No issues. Gets 35 MPG on a Trip! Fit & Finish is great! After 5 years won't even consider selling it.

Unbelievable handling for a car of this size, that makes you feel it is smaller than it really is. The acceleration for the base model is more than adequate for your needs, making merging on the freeway effortless. The build and quality are immediately apparent when you enter this vehicle, just what you expect from Porsche. You and your spouse will be debating who gets to drive all the time. In this price segment for top tier SUVs, there is no question that the Cayenne is the right choice.

Vehicle year: 2003
Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my previous car, a 4.6is BMW X5. In my opinion, the S version is a great car, especially in the Black/Black combination which gives it an aggressive look. I also purchased a Turbo, but I'm still waiting for the European version to become available at my dealer, Van Vliet Automobildrijven in Holland. In the meantime, I'm enjoying driving the S which is fast and fun to drive. Although the S version may be a little slower than the X5 4.6is, it's still a blast to drive, especially after 2500RPM when it accelerates like a plane! I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on my future cayenne Turbo because I've heard it's truly unique.

We decided to go for an entry-level Porsche and bought the base model. Although it may be a little underpowered for a Porsche, it still feels quick and is impeccably made and comfortable. I have to say, the LED+ headlights that come with the premium plus package are absolutely insane!

This is my third Porsche. The car is exceptionally fast and handles superbly well, especially in Sport or Sport+ mode. The seats are comfortable and there is ample room in the back seat. The battery provides a speedy 20 miles of range on fully electric, making short errands a breeze. However, the fit and finish quality issues are concerning, with poor paint quality and misaligned panels. Additionally, there are rattles with certain radio songs and it doesn't seem as well put together as my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Despite these issues, the hybrid technology is truly amazing and the engineers did a great job. Overall, while the MSRP of around $91K for a basic trim is steep, the car's exceptional performance and innovative technology make it a worthwhile investment.If you are considering owning a hybrid Porsche, it is important to consider the long-term impact of the hybrid drive and power train on the engine. The car requires the ICE engine to engage at any time, even when cold, which can be a lot for any engine to handle. Additionally, the limited range of 20 miles can be very limiting and once it is over, the car loses its speed. In conclusion, if you are looking for an electric car, Tesla is the way to go. Porsche is not there yet and the uncertainty of long-term residuals makes it a better option to lease rather than buy. Furthermore, Porsche should consider improving the ergonomics of their cars, as they are not up to par with other car manufacturers. The Bose Stereo system is also not great and does not feel of the same quality as other Porsche products. Improvements should be made to bring the production back to Germany. We will provide an update after a few months.

The engine did not stop and the key got stuck. Additionally, the rear door would not close and there was no spare tire. The car is currently at the dealer awaiting parts from Germany. While this experience was not what I was expecting from my first Porsche, I am confident that the necessary repairs will be made to restore the car to its full potential.

Congratulations on your new car purchase! It sounds like the car is running well and you are enjoying it. However, it seems that the voice control feature for the phone is not included in the car, which can be inconvenient, especially in a hands-free state. It's surprising that such an important feature is not included in a car of this price range. It's important to be aware of this before making a purchase. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

When test driving a Porsche, it's important to keep in mind that the company may consider some abnormal things to be normal. I am currently in arbitration about my custom order Cayenne Turbo, which cost me $165k. While buying the car was the best experience I ever had, the following year has been difficult due to issues with the PSCB brakes. I recommend doing your research and avoiding these brakes, as they tend to squeal loudly when coming to a stop. Instead, consider investing in PCCB brakes for a better driving experience. If you're looking for a high-performance SUV, it may be worth waiting for Porsche to release a newer model or exploring other options. Despite my issues, I still believe that Porsche offers a unique driving experience. I have evidence of my brake issues, including videos and pictures of a loose wiring harness, but Porsche claims that these issues are normal.

Overall performance is good. However, there have been some issues with oil burning and various components breaking within the warranty period. Despite these challenges, the car remains powerful, responsive, and fun to drive. It is worth noting that I have owned BMW X5 and some Japanese cars, but this car has had more issues than any of them.
