| I was driving a porsche cayenne s today on highway at 65mph. the car unexpectedly slowed down by around 20 miles for about 10 seconds. 5 minutes later, same problem occurred again and then the engine stalled, and the steering wheel locked. it is very dangerous to stall on highway, without too much control on steering wheel. the dealer said they could not find the problem. *tr | |||

| I own a 2005 porsche cayenne. since owning this truck there have been numerous items that have gone wrong. all the main computers had to be replaced, front drive shaft, transmission, and now a coolant tube. the last item is my concern, which cost $2,800.00 to fix on a truck that has 71,000 miles on it. when it was taken to the dealer i was told that all the cayenne?s from 2003 ? 2006 have to have this part changed (it?s made of plastic), because it breaks. now porsche knows there is an issue with this part because it has recalled of the replacement parts that where on all of the dealerships shelves. after doing this there redesigned the and part made it out of aluminum and had this part on back order because there where so many cayenne?s that need this part fixed sitting in the dealerships. i have tried working with porsche but they just say that i?m out of warranty and there is nothing they will do! it seems to me that when they need to replace this part on all of its trucks there is an issue. help! *tr | |||

| I am an owner of the 2005 porsche cayenne s. the porsche cayenne seemed to have a hesitation issue that we have tried to have repaired several times in the past. i wish i had taken car in as soon as i first noticed, as i would have easily been able to pursue the ny state lemon law, having had the car serviced for this issue more than 3 times with no resolution. but the situation has only gotten worse with time and the dealers refuse to recognize, acknowledge and fix the issue. i have had multiple people drive the car and have experienced the hesitation issue when stepping on the throttle, as the cars will hesitate and only move after pumping the gas peddle a few times. i have had more than one dangerous situation arise as i am trying to make turns. i finally searched the web site car forums to see if others have had this issue and have found hundreds of similar cases and was surprised to find no recalls. please assist with this issue before someone seriously gets hurt.*ak | |||
