| Description of the problem | At about 25,000 the cayenne started making bump upon acceleration and especially when turning. I understand this can be a safety issue unless addressed . The dealer diagnosed the problem as the transfer case which was replaced. Now we have 49,000 miles on the vehicle and it is starting to exhibit the same transfer case symptoms as before. In googling the internet this problem seems to be quite prevalent with both the porsche cayenne and macan. Moreover, the cost replace a transfer case is in the $5,000 when our of warranty which my 2014 is now. Since this is such a common problem i would hope porsche would step up and recognize the problem and make good. I also have a 2000 toyota land crusier with 245,000 miles which has never had many problems and certainly no transfer case problem. |
