  1. They don’t care. Lost a 19 year customer here. They’ll be happy I’m sure as they’ll have 1 less bitching. Obviously people don’t care or it wouldn’t happen.
  2. Apparently this is normal - weird though…. From the dealer:
  3. Man, what a joke - one thing after another….. Software issue and don’t worry OR worry??? Oil PSI not registering numerical read out.
  4. Heard back from Porsche of New Orleans.... Was told that it's normal for Porsche's to turn the volume to 100% so that you can hear the phone. Whew! I wonder why no other car we have OR have ever had has done this?!? Its so relaxing to come into the house , get a call and have the ringer blast you at full volume. Gotta love German engineering and why they think they have to control iPhones too.
  5. Anyone connecting an iPhone 13 pro or similar to a newer Cayenne? When you turn off car & exit , is your iPhone ringer volume always maxed out? Consistently with ours, we get out of the car and the phones ringer has always been turned to max loudness. anyone else’s? I can actually see the ringer volume slider change from current lower setting to 100% when iPhone is placed in and connects in the charging tray OR plugged into car via any one of the 3 usb-c ports. It'll change to 100% almost instantly. This does not happen when phone is blue toothed.
  6. so a lot of the locking / unlocking doors issues and driver side seat memory issues seem to have been solved - the dealer had to replace the passenger side view mirror. Something like a bad wiring harness. We've now been trying to solve the ACC becoming disabled randomly and also disabling the driver non responsive function. They have no clue and see no stored codes - but do see some sort of values stored that reflect apparently something is going on. They just dont know what. Additionally , after we did 3 over the air updates, we have encountered random haptic noise sounds coming from somewhere. Dealer diagnosed defective roof control panel where the light switches are and have ordered a replacement. Finally, the homelink option on the PCM now randomly comes up on the PCM when starting the car in places other than the home ?!? They have no clue on that one either. AND, if anyone has had defective wiper blades like we have, ive been told there is a recall for them on the 2024's...
  7. Sorry for the way I had to post the images - that the way they were sent them to me. This is for our all gas - not hybrid. Don't know anything on the hybrid sorry. The below is what they said our Comprehensive Software Update we had yo wait for involved.... We couldn't even get an owner manual until the update was done.
  8. Well this last Friday wife did what srvc manager said to do next time locks and mirrors start acting up - drive to dealer! Duplicated issues and left car for software update that was released - original apt for update was today. Did partial update sat and completed today. Dealer pretty much hung the moon on that fixing all the issues. Even as late as this am when I called for update. Well, this pm got text - software update finally finished and had no effect on the problems. Mirrors and locking / unlocking not working still a problem. Waiting for next step…..
  9. So im no tire expert or mechanic, but have been driving a lot of years. I have a pretty good idea when cars drift and dont. Soooo, we went on our 2nd long road trip. A number of times because I sensed the car drifts right, I tested by letting go of the steering wheel and after 3-6 seconds the car will drift to the right. Tested at about 70 - 75 MPH from the left , center and right lanes at a number of different spots on the highway. Same thing happened on out 1st highway trip out to Houston from New Orleans and reporting it to dealer 1st time. They then returned the car and said all 'Normal'. Went for a drive this am with Porsche New Orleans service manager. After watching the car drift a bit at different times , he said all is normal. We then went on the Causeway where the wind was blowing toward us from the right and the car drifted right. He then said the road was following the crown and that the car is deigned to drift away from traffic. Huh?!? I confirmed what he said. " Yes, the car is engineered for safety to drift away from the flow of traffic". I then asked if that cars in England or Japan for instance are designed to drift to the left? I said, well , the steer from the right side of the car and travel in opposite direction/ lanes than US for instance... He couldn't answer that. Im not sure I want them touching my car if thats what they think! Can anyone confirm this new drifting feature? Am I being unreasonable in expecting the car to stay straight after more than 3-6 seconds? Help appreciated from those with tire / drive experience. I feel stupid even asking this - but it doesnt seem right to me. Thanks.
  10. 10-4. Went for a test drive this am with service manager and he said they have them too at Porsche of New Orleans. Going to wait until they do them on a few cars before we go in for it. I inquired to him what all it covers and he said he wasn't sure - except - that it will change the way the steering way measures control , i.e, sensors in the steering wheel will now measure sensitivity of touch instead of grip, is what he told me.
  11. ADD ON: 7) Doors sound like they are trying to lock after taking off after every stop….
  12. We inquired this am re: software update. No changes. they still cannot tell us when its coming OR whats its for.
  13. Went to dealer this am for apt to diagnose : 1) driver door occasionally not unlocking 2) driver side view mirror occasionally not opening 3) driver "take control" alerts and steering wheel vibrating with warning even though cruise not activated and driving normally 4) passenger side door not unlocking / locking occasionally 5) passenger side view mirror non-responsive to control button. Also not dipping in reverse 6) passenger side soft close not working I did not find this out until after the appointment - it was a Porter who verified and demonstrated all the above to - he was not even a tech or a service writer. Guess I should be lucky that the car was malfunctioning so they couldn't say - NPF - No Problem Found. Then was told by the service writer there is nothing they can do at this point.
  14. So the other week on our 1st road trip, the front passenger side door soft close feature stopped working, the mirror would not fold in and the door would not lock. We 1st noticed it when at one point we exited the car and the door did not close. We re-opened and closed a few times and the feature did not work. We locked the car using the fob. Same door, front passenger, the mirror still didnt fold in. We check the door for a possible obstruction and tried several times. No good. The door was also unresponsive to locking from the inside driver button and the mirror button would not fold the mirror in either. We exited the car again and locked with the fob - all locked but the passenger side. Oh well - what to do ?!? The next day , all was good and working again. Fast forward to today. Car locked, key in her hand and wife tries to open passenger front door. No good. Won't unlock! Not by just grabbing the handle OR with the fob. Had to go and try the driver side master unlock button. Not responsive. Had to get in and pull handle from inside. Got door open. Upon exiting, passenger side soft close non-responsive again and door won't lock and mirror doesnt fold in on lock or with mirror adjust button from driver side. Lastly, there was one time I had tried to get in the driver side and the door didnt open. Car was locked and I had the key in pocket. I had to pull a few times before door opened. I thought I had forgotten how to open doors - but - now im wondering whats going on! SOFTWARE GLITCH!! I guess we'll eventually get in the car - one way or another - BUT - this could be a potential safety concern if one cant get in if necessary, OR, worse, get out.
