Example complaints
Exterior lighting: “The backup lights of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe when the car is put into reverse are extremely dim, and do not adequately highlight what is behind the car. I learned this the first time on September 8th when I tried to back out of my friend’s narrow windy tree lined driveway at night. Something that usually took a few minutes took more than 15 minutes because I could not see where I was going. …”
NHTSA complaint #11564216, filed 2024-01Other or unknown: “Car was purchased new 063023. Prior to purchase dealer told up car is due for a software update. At purchase, we got a piece of paper stating car was due for a COMPREHENSIVE software update and we could delay taking delivery. We decided to take delivery. But, what we were not told then was that Porsche Group, Porsche NA, under the direction of their owners, Volkswagen Group - Germany, was not providing owners with owners manuals for their new 2024 cars that would be getting the updates. Our paper manual references See Digital' or Digital more than 300 times. …”
NHTSA complaint #11532110, filed 2023-07Electrical system: “The rotary volume control knob on the center console of my 2024 Porsche Cayenne Coupe detached during normal, routine interior cleaning while the vehicle was stationary. The knob lifted off the control shaft with minimal contact from a standard handheld vacuum nozzle. This indicates that the retention mechanism of the control knob is insufficient and may represent a manufacturing or design defect. A loose or detachable interior control is a safety concern because it distracts the driver from the road when attempting to adjust audio, alerts, or climate menu functions. …”
NHTSA complaint #11702293, filed 2025-12Forward collision avoidance: “As I was making a turn onto another avenue, and accelerating to blend into traffic flow, dashboard messages suddenly appeared 1) Engine control error, driving still possible, see dealer. 2) Active lane keeping not available, driving still possible, service required 3) Adaptive Cruise Control not available, driving still possible, service required . Adaptive cruise was not engaged at the time of the error. …”
