| Description of the problem | 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. |
