“Circle imports long beach, ca a Porsche dealer installed a new steering wheel on our 04 Porsche Cayenne. In one week time on oct. 15, 2005 the air bag in the center of the wheel started coming loose and was falling off the wheel. The repair to this problem occurred in just a few days however, when I questioned why there were no sensors giving me a warning, I was told that no sensors exist. When I asked the dealer to contact Porsche corporate to present this problem, I was told there was nothing they could do. Shortly after that I emailed to Porsche corporate however, no one bother to reply. …”
