Owner report 11532110 · 2023-07-13 (July 13, 2023)
Car was purchased new 063023. Prior to purchase dealer told up car is due for a software update. At purchase, we got a piece of paper stating car was due for " a COMPREHENSIVE " software update and we could delay taking delivery. We decided to take delivery. But, what we were not told then was that Porsche Group, Porsche NA, under the direction of their owners, Volkswagen Group - Germany, was not providing owners with owners manuals for their new 2024 cars that would be getting the updates. Our paper manual references "See Digital' or "Dig…

Owner report 11564216 · 2024-01-08 (January 8, 2024)
The backup lights of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe when the car is put into reverse are extremely dim, and do not adequately highlight what is behind the car. I learned this the first time on September 8th when I tried to back out of my friend’s narrow windy tree lined driveway at night. Something that usually took a few minutes took more than 15 minutes because I could not see where I was going. I took my Cayenne to Amityville Porsche Service and was told the car is “working as designed.” I also escalated it to Porsche's national customer…

Owner report 11575222 · 2024-03-04 (March 4, 2024)
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>

Owner report 11671298 · 2025-07-05 (July 5, 2025)
As I was making a turn onto another avenue, and accelerating to blend into traffic flow, dashboard messages suddenly appeared 1)"Engine control error, driving still possible, see dealer." 2)"Active lane keeping not available, driving still possible, service required" 3)"Adaptive Cruise Control not available, driving still possible, service required". Adaptive cruise was not engaged at the time of the error. The car lost almost all power, despite saying "driving still possible"; cars behind me had to brake hard as my car would only go about 7-10…

Owner report 11702293 · 2025-12-01 (December 1, 2025)
The rotary volume control knob on the center console of my 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe detached during normal, routine interior cleaning while the vehicle was stationary. The knob lifted off the control shaft with minimal contact from a standard handheld vacuum nozzle. This indicates that the retention mechanism of the control knob is insufficient and may represent a manufacturing or design defect. A loose or detachable interior control is a safety concern because it distracts the driver from the road when attempting to adjust audio, alerts, or…
