2013 Porsche CAYENNE Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Purchased a 2013 cayenne porsche gts with 67k miles on it. Noticed a kind of thumping sound when accelerating, usually appearing at 3k rpms. Vehicle shudders and almost feels like the transmission is slipping. Took the vehicle to a mechanic to diagnose the fault and they immediately knew what it was, engine transfer case failure. This is due to a design flaw allowing water into the transfer case that porsche is aware of and yet to address. On some occasions porsche will pay for the $5k repair but the part is still replaced with a transfer case with the same flaw. Transfer case failure can lead to a sudden lose of power and potentially cause death or serious injury if someone is traveling at highway speeds. Highly recommend addressing this with a recall for 2013 and 2014 cayennes. I have experienced sudden lose of power due to transfer case failure, neatly resulting in a highway collision.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
