Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Faulty transfer case the car had a bumpy and violent shudder at slow speeds when attempting to accelerate. Feels like misfiring and then grinding and the car does not respond to the accelerator. It was dangerous when attempting to accelerate into traffic. I called to make an appointment and with a simple explanation they diagnosed it over the phone. The dealership acknowledged that these transfer cases were failing regularly and that the parts were redesigned and even stocked in the dealership since it happens so regularly. With a basic search of the internet it is apparent that this problem is widespread and that porsche has acknowledged the design flaw but they are not choosing to recall. This is a safety issue and should be replaced by the manufacturer whether the car is under warranty or not.
