Description of the problem | Failure of transfer case in transmission at 74000 miles. This is a well described problem and there are hundreds of similar complaints on the internet in porsche cayennes. Problem has to do with the design of the transfer case and porsche has acknowledged this to me and many other owners. As a result of the problem the vehicle can lurch forward and also fail to accelerate causing safety issues. Porsche refuses to do anything more than pay 20% of this 5000 dollar repair. I urge the nhtsa to initiate a formal investigation of this problem and force porsche cars of north america to initiate a recall campaign for the safety of the public and for the thousands of owners like myself who have spent 70000 to 90000 on a premium suv and are left helpless. Thank you for your assistance. |
