2016 Porsche Macan Problems

Porsche dashboard leather shrunk and staples pulled out. I was told that if the vehicle was in an accident the airbag might not deploy correctly. The Porsche dealer said it needs replacing. This is a VERY COMMON issue and Porsche is not recalling to fix. Please investigate and make Porsche correct this serious issue. Thank You

My Porsche Service Center advised that the front passenger airbag sensor of my 2016 Porsche Macan Turbo is not functioning properly. The identified fault was: Airbag (variant 002) B12251B "Seat occupancy sensor on passenger side (BOSE) - resistance too high" I have been advised that NHTSA has issued two recalls on this problem. My Porsche Service Center has advised that the originally installed passenger side occupancy sensor was replaced pursuant to one of the recalls. Despite the same problem affecting the presently installed passenger side occupancy sensor, my Porsche Service Center has advised that it is not subject to a recall. It has proposed repairing the sensor at a cost to me of $3,124.23. I believe that the repair should be conducted under the terms of the prior recalls, since the presently installed passenger side occupancy sensor is clearly defective.

Y shaped plastic Coolant line cracks and leaks do to manufactures poor choice of materials! Resulting in engine overheating, and sever loss of coolant! Spraying entire engine compartment under hood white dried up coolant over spay spots with empty coolant reservoir and no heat. You would think that line would be made from an aluminum as it beads to with stand high heat temperatures from being against and engine.

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON INTERSTATE 75 IN ATLANTA. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS ABOVE ME AND, BECAUSE IT WAS THE EARLY AFTERNOON, THERE WERE FEW CARS/TRUCKS AROUND. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR OR ROCKS BEING KICKED UP FROM THE PAVEMENT. INEXPLICABLY, MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED OVER MY HEAD. THE GLASS SHATTERED AND THOUSANDS OF SHARDS FELL ON THE WINDSCREEN. (LUCKILY, I HAD THE WINDSCREEN CLOSED OR THAT GLASS WOULD HAVE COVERED ME.) I WAS ON MY WAY TO KENTUCKY FOR THE WEEKEND BUT HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO BRING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO PORSCHE ATLANTA PERIMETER. THE AGENTS AND SERVICE EMPLOYEES SEEMED GENUINELY SHOCKED AT THE DAMAGE AND KEPT TELLING ME HOW LUCKY I WAS... I ENDED UP SPENDING $600 FOR THE RENTAL CAR WHILE THEY WORKED ON THE CAR. IT TOOK A WEEK AND A HALF. I TALKED TO A CONSUMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER AT PORSCHE PERIMETER REGARDING THE OCTOBER '17 CONSUMER REPORT ARTICLE ABOUT EXPLODING SUNROOFS. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME AFTER HE DID SOME RESEARCH (HE DIDN'T) AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON BEHALF OF PORSCHE. I WAS TOLD THAT PERHAPS A PREEXISTING "NICK" IN MY SUNROOF WAS WHAT COMPROMISED THE GLASS. THERE WAS NO NICK, AND EVEN IF THERE WAS, I THINK THEY SHOULD LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT SUCH A NICK MAY RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC INJURY. I HAD TO PAY $3,100 FOR THE REPAIRS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN PORSCHE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW.

Front brake hoses rub between the steering knuckle and the suspension fork resulting in hose rupture and brake failure. Wear on the hose is visible on both sides.

Brake line has ruptured and complete failure of brakes. This is due to faulty rubber securing grommet that has become detached from the brake line, allowing the line to rub against the strut tower. Your driver front brake line has ruptured, and your passenger brake line is wearing thin and likely to follow suit and rupture soon.

HEADLIGHT LENSES ARE GETTING THOUSANDS OF SPIDER TYPE CRACKS ALL OVER THE LENSES, DIMINISHING HEADLAMP LIGHT OUTPUT. CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH 39,750 MILES. MANY OWNERS HAVING SAME ISSUE. PICTURES DO NOT SHOW THAT THE LENSE BECOMES 'WHITISH' DUE TO FAILURE.

THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR MAT HAS FAILED AT 48K MILES. TAKEN TO DEALER THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MACANS OF THIS YEAR, BUT THIS VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. RECALL # 17V133.

I need to replace or dismiss this so i can list my car on turo.

I OBESERVED CRACKS IN MY SUNROOF UNDER FROST CONDITIONS. CRACKS ARE PRESENT IN BOTH THE STATIONARY PORTION OF THE SUNROOF AS WELL AS THE MOVING COMPONENT. DURING EXTREME COLD WEATHER I FURTHER OBSERVED THAT THE ENRIRE INTERIOR OF THE SUNROOF WAS COVERED IN HEAVY CONDENSATION. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER WHO RESUFES TO HELP. I KNOW THAT MY CAR WAS BASED ON THE AUDI Q5 PLATFORM WHILE HAD A SIMILAR RECALL IN 2012 FOR DEFECTIVE SUNROOFS UNDER EXTREME COLD WEATHER. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THESE RELATED.
