I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM PORSCHE (AH10 PORSCHE SAFETY RECALL) FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTER FLANGE OF FUEL PUMP. THE LETTER WAS DATED 14NOV2017. ON 28NOV2017 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT NO COST TO ME. THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE NEWLY DESIGNED PART, SO HE REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE FILTER FLANGE (WHICH HAD BEEN LEAKING FUEL), REPLACED IT WITH A NEW PART, BUT STILL UNDER THE RECALLED DESIGN, AND CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL STATED THE REPAIR WOULD BE DONE AT NO EXPENSE TO VEHICLE OWNERS. THEN IN AUGUST 2018, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE NEWLY DESIGNED PARTS WERE DELIVERED, AT WHICH POINT I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE RECALLED PART WAS REMOVED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED FILTER FLANGE INSTALLED. THIS WAS COMPLETED ON 08AUG2018 AND ON 09AUG2018 I COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK THAT PORSCHE ASKED ME TO COMPLETE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE NOVEMBER 2017 REPAIR WORK. THE PROCESSING OF THIS PAPERWORK WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE 6-10 WEEKS. IT IS NOW 21 WEEKS AND COUNTING, I HAVE CONTACTED PORSCHE AND THEIR PROCESSING AGENT (GCG), BUT NEITHER IS ABLE TO TELL ME THE STATUS OF THE CLAIM OR WHO IS WORKING ON IT OR WHAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE PROCESSING OF MY CLAIM.

FOR SAFETY: AIRBAG FAULT AND EARNING LIGHT APPEARING APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES IN. FROM A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. WHEN CONTACTING BOTH PORSCHE LOCALLY AND PORSCHE CORPORATE TO AMEND, BOTH REFUSE REPAIRS BY CITING VEHICLE'S AGE (ALTHOUGH THIS IS A PREVALENT, KNOWN ISSUE). FOR PERFORMANCE FEATURES: PCM FAILURE; PCM IS THE NAVIGATION AND RADIO CONSOLE SYSTEM. AGAIN, BOTH PORSCHE LOCAL AND PORSCHE CORPORATE WERE CONTACTED AFTER DISCOVERING THROUGH A MERE GOOGLE SEARCH, WHICH WILL ILLUSTRATE THIS LARGE ISSUE WITH PORSCHE CAYENNE VEHICLES INCURRING PCM FAILURES IN DROVES. PORSCHE HAS ACKNOWLEDGE BOTH THE AIRBAG SAFETY FAILURE AND PCM FAULT IS DUE TO BAD ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, TO INCLUDE ACKNOWLEDGING THE CHOICE OF TO NOT PURSUE A RECALL OR "GOODWILL" REPAIRS.

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE EVIDENT ON DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEN STATIONARY OR EVEN NOT RUNNING AND PARKED . RESEARCH ONLINE WITH THE SEARCH CRITERIA OF "GASOLINE SMELL ON DRIVER SIDE REAR" PRODUCED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND QUESTIONS ON THIS PHENOMENON. THE CULPRIT IS THE FUEL PUMPS/FILTERS/SEALS FOR THE TWO GASOLINE TANKS. THEY ARE MAKE FROM PLASTIC AND ARE PRONE TO CRACKS OR LEAKS FROM FULL TANKS. ONE PORSCHE PARTS SUPPLIER PUT IT THIS WAY ON THEIR DIY REPAIR PAGE "THE QUESTION IS NOT IF, BUT WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM." THE SOLUTION IS TO TAKE OUT THE REAR SEATS, CUT THE CARPET, REMOVE THE SEAT BELT ANCHORS, REMOVE THE COVER UNDER THE CARPET TO ACCESS THE PUMPS AND FILTER. THIS IS A PROBLEM PORSCHE MUST KNOW ABOUT AS THEY HAVE CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE PUMP PARTS.

2 ISSUES. LIKE OTHER 2006 PORSCHE CAYENNE'S, IN NORMAL DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN 2014 MY CAR STARTED VIBRATING UNCONTROLLABLY. STOPPED DRIVING AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. TURNS OUR THE DRIVE TRAIN BROKE AT 74,000 MILES. WHICH SEEMS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH ALL 2006 CAYENNES. $2400 TO REPAIR. THEN LAST WEEK THE COOLANT WATER PIPES BROKE DRAINING ALL THE COOLANT FLUID OUT OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. TOWED TO THE DEALER. I SOON LEARNED THAT THERE HAD BEEN 8 CLASS ACTION LAW SUITES FILED ON THIS PROBLEM IN I BELIEVE 2010 AND PORSCHE SET ASIDE $45M WITHOUT ADMITTING GUILT TO END THE LAW SUIT AND TO FIX AFFECTED CARS; HOWEVER, YOU HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED BY THE END OF 2013. NOBODY TOLD ME OF THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY MY DEALER WHERE THE CAR SITS TODAY AS I TRY TO GET EITHER THE DEALER OF PORSCHE OF NA TO SUPPORT THE COST OF THE FIX. SO FAR THEY ARE NOT WILLING. COST TO REPAIR IS $2800. CAR HAS 84 THOUSAND MILES. SEEMS STRANGE THAT NHTSA SINCE EVERY 2006 PORSCHE CAYENNE HAS BOTH OF THESE EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS. HTTP://WWW.COOLANTPIPESETTLEMENT.COM/

SOMETIME IN 2011 I NOTICED THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS (AUTOMATIC). I WAS ON A LONG DRIVE FROM FLORIDA TO MY HOME IN MARYLAND WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A THING UNTIL IT BEGAN TO HAPPEN ROUTINELY AT ALL SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE VALVE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4,500. I MISSED THE WARRANTY PERIOD BY 60 DAYS SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE COST. THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 75,000 MILES ON IT AS I USUALLY USED MY OTHER CAR FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE. I'M LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT UNTIL I CAN AFFORD SUCH A COSTLY REPAIR. I GOT THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER IN NY WITH ONLY 3000 MILES ON IT. I'M CERTAIN THIS WAS A DEFECT THAT PORSCHE KNEW ABOUT AND THEY SHOULD OFFER TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE REPAIR.

UPON RETURNING FROM A 200 MILE TRIP CRUISING AT 60-65 MPH AND EXITING THE OFF RAMP AT LOWER SPEEDS (25-30MPH) MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND STOP UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE I STARTED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND LOUD KNOCKING CAME FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THERE IS A FAILURE IN THE CENTER DRIVE SHAFT SUPPORT BEARING AND HAS SEEN THIS IN EVER CAYENNE HE HAS SERVICED. I ALSO LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS AND SERVICE TECH'S TALKING ABOUT THIS FAILURE AROUND 70K-90K MILES FOR EVER PORSCHE CAYENNE AND VW TOUREG. I HOPE THERE IS SOME MANUFACTURER FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED A LONG TIME AGO. *TR
