| Description of the problem | My porsche cayenne diesel has had the porsche diesel emissions settlement program "fix" completed. Since the "fix" the vehicle has become dangerous to drive in certain situations. When merging, turning a slow speed corner or rolling through a yield sign there is a significant lag/delay from the time the throttle input happens and a response from the motor. This delay has been as long as 2 seconds leading to numerous near misses. Porsche has insisted the vehicle is fine and refuses to do anything about it.

In accordance with the epa/carb approved emissions modification, the shifting behavior has been adjusted. Additionally, the enhanced automatic engine braking feature has been removed. When you experience the reduction in mpg noted below, are you towing at that time?
