“Google: Cayenne wet floor. All Cayenne have issue with poor water drainage system according to the websites. My car was driving fine before I parked it, then when I try to start it, I got an error on the info display in red: ignition lock fault, ABS brake proportioning. No crank from the battery, transmission locked in park. So I googled it and found many owners from around the world reporting this issue. The drainage under the windshield can get blocked easily with debris, and cause water to overflow inside the cabin and or electrical modules located in the windshield cowl area. …”
