| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 porsche cayenne s and from the very first day of ownership the car has a serious hesitation problem when accelerating. I have had the car serviced at the porsche dealership (mckenna in norwalk, ca) and they tell me that they are very aware of the problem and there is no way to fix it. Many, many cayenne owners are having the same problem and porsche refuses to fix the problem. I have had several near-miss collisions because of the cars hesitation when accelerating. Please help and let me know the status of this dangerous issue. Thanks, derek dean. *nm |
