2014 Porsche Cayenne Engine Problems

“I was exiting the highway into a rest area, and at about 30-35mph the car's engine suddenly cut out. All the dashboard warning lights lit up, the power steering failed, and even with the brake to the floor the car would barely slow down. I put the car in park and restarted it and it drove normally. I'm now afraid to drive my brand new car, because if the engine cuts out in the middle of an intersection or turning left against traffic, I could be involved in a very serious crash. This is more than just an inconvenience, it is a very serious safety flaw! …”

This is a very common issue with Porsche v8 engines and requires a fix in the amount of approx. $5000-8000, as the engine has to be taken out of vehicle. As my vehicle is out of warranty, this cost is prohibitive out of pocket, especially considering the vehicle is relatively new with low kms. Porsche should either do a recall for these engines or provide extended warranty up to 10 years for the leaks, considering it is way too common. …”
