2006 Porsche Cayenne owner complaints

Recall ah10 incomplete due to non-availability of parts. Replacing filter flange of fuel pump.

The rear hatchback door closes on it's own. The hazard is that a person can get hit in the head or injured. The problem started 3 years ago but has become progressively worse to the point where the hatchback/truck no longer stays open

Strong smell of gasoline evident on driver's side rear when stationary or even not running and parked . Research online with the search criteria of "gasoline smell on driver side rear" produced numerous complaints and questions on this phenomenon. The culprit is the fuel pumps/filters/seals for the two gasoline tanks. They are make from plastic and are prone to cracks or leaks from full tanks. One Porsche parts supplier put it this way on their diy repair page "the question is not if, but when you experience this problem." the solution is to take out the rear seats, cut the carpet, remove the seat belt anchors, remove the cover under the carpet to access the pumps and filter. This is a problem Porsche must know about as they have changed the design of the pump parts.

NHTSA recall no.: 17v-576; Porsche safety recall ah10. The recall notification was received 12/17 and I have spoken to my Porsche dealership 3 times since. The Porsche dealership has not received the filter flange replacement parts from the manufacturer and has no idea when they will be received.

Upon returning from a 200 mile trip cruising at 60-65 MPH and exiting the off ramp at lower speeds (25-30mph) my vehicle began to shake violently and stop upon coming to a complete stop. Once I started to accelerate the vehicle again began to shake violently and loud knocking came from the under carriage. I took the vehicle to my mechanic and he said there is a failure in the center drive shaft support bearing and has seen this in ever cayenne he has serviced. I also looked this up online and found many complaints and service tech's talking about this failure around 70k-90k miles for ever Porsche cayenne and vw toureg. I hope there is some manufacturer financial support for this obvious defect which should have been recalled a long time ago. *tr

I was driving the truck and all of a sudden I heard a knocking noise that sounded like the bottom of the car was going to fall off. I made it home and called the dealer. I was advised that this was a common problem and that it was the cardon shaft and it was a common problem. The job I was advised was a $2,000 job. I haven't been able to drive the truck. I finally had it repaired for roughly $900. Very unhappy...

2 issues. Like other 2006 Porsche cayenne's, in normal driving in my neighborhood in 2014 my car started vibrating uncontrollably. Stopped driving and had it towed to the dealer. Turns our the drive train broke at 74,000 miles. Which seems is a systemic problem with all 2006 cayennes. $2400 to repair. Then last week the coolant water pipes broke draining all the coolant fluid out of the car while it was being driven in normal traffic. Towed to the dealer. I soon learned that there had been 8 class action law suites filed on this problem in I believe 2010 and Porsche set aside $45m without admitting guilt to end the law suit and to fix affected cars; however, you had to have it fixed by the end of 2013. Nobody told me of this problem, especially my dealer where the car sits today as I try

2006 Porsche cayenne. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle plastic coolant pipes defect. *smd the consumer stated the engine had to be torn apart, to replace the plastic coolant tube at a cost of $ 2,625.67. The consumer stated Porsche new about the defect since 2011. *jb

2006 Porsche cayenne. Consumer states coolant leak and problem with having the vehicle serviced *tgw the consumer was informed by his mechanic that he needed to take the vehicle to a dealer, because a technical service bulletin had been issued for the problem. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the problem was confirmed. However, Porsche only offered to cover the cost of the parts. The consumer learned the original coolant pipes were made of plastic. *jb

Vehicle runs inefficiently when cold and smoke has been noted from the exhaust pipe when vehicle is driven. It will turn over, but not catch. Dealership was told by Porsche to use a lower octane fuel (87) to remedy the problem. This contradicts the information in the owner's manual which states only premium unleaded fuel 91 or higher should be used. If the vehicle is taken into a lower altitude area, the fuel should revert to premium. This is a brand new car and it does not start when the engine is turned over, leading me to believe there is a manufacturing defect in the design of the engine. My husband owns a 2004 cayenne s, which has a 4.5 v-8 instead of the 3.2 liter v-6 and it starts immediately, even when cold. *nm

I own a Porsche, cayenne s 2006 model. I was traveling to las vegas, nv from home (garden grove, ca) . All of sudden there was coolant check signal came on so I have exited from freeway and added more coolant. However the coolant check signal wouldn't go off and the temp went up so high that I had to pull over to the side of the road. Make the story short, my whole family spent next 5 hours out on 110f sunlight without ac. I have found out that coolant pipes were made with plastic which cannot withhold the heat which vehicle generates. And although Porsche has changed the parts to aluminum they still haven't recalled these vehicles. They, Porsche, are aware of this issue and yet they are not recalling these vehicles. Also they are not willing to pay for my repair. Although there w

Vehicle suddenly loses power ("throttle control" as the service rep puts it), usually while traveling at highway speeds. This causes sudden deceleration, creating issues for surrounding traffic. In each case if I floor the accelerator I can maintain approximately 25 MPH to get to a side street, where I arrange for a tow truck. This vehicle has been in the shop three times for a total of a month, during it's first 6 months (14,000 miles) for this condition. Each time the Porsche dealer believes it has been fixed. Intermittent so hard to diagnose. *nm

For safety: airbag fault and earning light appearing approximately 60k miles in. From a simple google search, it appears to be a widespread issue. When contacting both Porsche locally and Porsche corporate to amend, both refuse repairs by citing vehicle's age (although this is a prevalent, known issue). For performance features: PCM failure; PCM is the navigation and radio console system. Again, both Porsche local and Porsche corporate were contacted after discovering through a mere google search, which will illustrate this large issue with Porsche cayenne vehicles incurring PCM failures in droves. Porsche has acknowledge both the airbag safety failure and PCM fault is due to bad electrical engineering, to include acknowledging the choice of to not pursue a recall or "goodwill" rep
