Porsche announced their "campaign" (recall) on november 14, 2017. I have called several porsche dealers since that time, and the parts for this recall are not available. One dealer says it could be "another couple of months" before the part is available. The ah10 campaign says that this situation can cause a fire! Is this what porsche is waiting for? Something needs to be done to get them to produce the parts necessary to prevent significant injury or death.

Car was bought as certified porsche in mar 2011 with 66k miles; current miles 165k miles; driven approx. For 100k miles in 6 years. Engine clicking noise was getting louder and louder. Told by mechanics that the "f" cyn. Walls are scored and engine needs to be replace. Checked on-line for this condition with other v-8 porsche owners to find that it's very common. This seems like a design issue and safety wise ( no power, miss firing and stalling). A $100k new should not have a v-8 engine that has a design defect that is worth less at such low miles.

While driving with both of my children in the rain my entire car locked and my windshield wipes stopped my windows wouldn't roll down and my doors locked on and off my alarm system started to go off uncontrollably even while driving porsche isn't being of any help giving me run arounds also my check engine light came on in the process of the incident

Its seems to be transmission is slips into four wheels drive, sometime it stuck in a drive gear.

Porsche lurches,jerks,thuds,intermittent power loss when accelerating to pass another car. Engine,transmission/turbo system faulty and hazardous as power loss occurs when quick speed-up when passing power is critically needed. This power failure problem has occurred since car was bought new ivy me in 2004.

Engine coolant hoses are leaking antifreeze. Everytime I pour antifreeze into the car it comes out, im afraid it might damage something else, like the engine etc. They have plastic hoses on them. *Tr

Upon taking the vehicle out of the driveway I started hearing a ticking sound coming from the engine, something like a lifter hitting the block. I pulled back in to my driveway and called a repair shop and scheduled an appointment. When meeting with the technician I was informed that the engine had a scored cylinder and that it is a common issue with the model and year. The only recourse to fix the issue would be to replace the engine. A replacement engine would cost $17 -35,000 - more than the vehicle is worth. If...

Owner operates a 2004 porsche cayenne turbo, 4.5L v8 engine. This vehicle, with just over 61,000 miles began to overheat four days prior to the incident (detected by fluctuating temperature gauge). The engine coolant was found to be low in the service bottle by appx. 2 Quarts when checked and was refilled. The evening before the incident owner's spouse reported a low coolant alarm message had displayed on the instrument panel, coolant was about 2 quarts low in the service bottle and was refilled. The next day the...

Coolant line/plastic coolant hose failure. I was driving in traffic and my low coolant light appeared. Within seconds, the car began smoking and the temp. Gage rapidly began to rise. I had to turn the car off immediately in the middle of traffic to avoid possible engine failure. I towed the car to my mechanic and he indicated its a design defect from porsche and the plastic tubes are now replaced by orem aluminum tubes. Upon further investigation, I was able to determine that the design flaw by porsche was...

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 porsche cayenne s. The contact stated all the antifreeze leaked out of the vehicle causing the engine to overheat causing the vehicle to be unable to be driven . The dealer was notified who stated there was a design flaw with the plastic pipes. The manufacturer was notified who offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000.

At 38,785 miles coolant pipes leaking and replaced. After repair "internal engine noise" and noise is now louder and engine use more oil. Took to local porsche dealer vehicle still at porsche dealer because dealer states" engine needs replaced" because if overheated due to coolant pipe failure pistons walls damaged. Dealer checking with porsche to find out if they will pay something or all of cost to replace engine. Cayenne at porsche dealer for over 60 days with no outcome as to what porsche will pay. Could cost up to $20,000 if invoiced to me. *Tr

Driving on interstate highway, check engine and add coolant lights on. Stopped added coolant, drove home parked in driveway.

CRACK IN ORIGINAL PLASTIC COOLANT PIPES. *JS

Porsche knowingly manufactured cayenne model vehicles with plastic coolant tubes that degrade and fracture causing engine coolant to leak into the engine, potentially leading to significant engine damage. Porsche has known about this defect and failed to make consumers aware of the potential failure despite the risk to the owners safety and pocketbook. *Kb

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 porsche cayenne s. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, an overheating indicator light began to illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken directly to an independent repair shop where engine coolant was added to the vehicle. While adding the coolant, the technicians noticed that the coolant was leaking out through its plastic tubing. The vehicle was then towed to an authorized dealer where the plastic tubing for the engine coolant was being replaced with aluminum tubing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 54,500.

Coolant pipe start to fail for the model year 2004-2006. The material for coolant pipe was made of plastic and it resulted in a disintegration of pipe overtime due to temperature changes. Porsche technicians identified this issue and porsche engineers also identified this issue. They came up with a replacement part which is made of aluminum to mitigate damages to the engine due to sudden failure of coolant pipe. If the pipe busted, it will cause the vehicle to fail during operation and may result in a hazardous...

The porsche cayenne (and other porsche models) have a coolant leak problem. My vehicle's "low coolant level" light came on. I checked the coolant level and found it to be severely low. The porsche dealer service (and on-line forums) report that porsche cayenne engines are encountering a coolant leak problem that appears to affect all cayenne s, cayenne turbo and cayenne turbo s engines built from 2003 to 2006 (my vehicle is a 2004 model). The coolant leak problem is located in the plastic coolant pipes located...

**Uncontrolled acceleration** cayenne s accelerated uncontrollably while driving. While driving at approx 60 mph, I encountered traffic ahead and took my foot off the accelerator, however the car began accelerating. I tried lifting the pedal with my foot, no luck, applied the brakes and the car slowed, however, when I removed my foot from the brake, the cayenne continued to accelerate. The cruise control had not been activated and was off. I kept pressing the gas pedal and releasing it at least a dozen times...
