Description of the problem	The porsche dealer informed me the bumping noise while accelerating is the transfer case. It is a common problem on all 2012 cayenne cars. The transfer case will make the bumping noise when accelerating. It will eventually slip to the dangerous point. This is when you accelerate into traffic and the transfer case only slips and leaves the sitting in traffic unable to move. The repair is $5000 and replaces the transfer case. The new transfer case corrects the design flaw. The flaw was in the transfer case vents that would allow water to build up in the case. The new case comes with vent tubes installed so the case can vent properly and water doesn't build up in the transfer case fluid. It is a shame that this problem happens between 30,000 and 80,000 miles. If i pay $60, 000 -$100,000 for a car i would expect to get past 100,000 miles before a major repair. Hopefully i don't get killed in traffic when it starts slipping more.
