Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

To whom it may concern; I am writing you with deep disappointment as I am experiencing dissatisfaction with the quality of car that I leased on December, 06, 2021. Panamera was always my dream car, however, today it is a life threat to me and my family. The car is experiencing failure during drive, it self shifts itself to neutral while driving as well failed AC system. Yesterday, 3/19/23, on freeway, I almost got into car accident because of that shift. The car suddenly stopped, and almost got hit by other 3 cars behind me. The problem started since December 2022 with a frequency of once or twice a month. I made an appointment with Rusnak Pasadena dealership shop to run diagnostics. They found nothing… based on 15-20 min drive. The problem started increasing in frequency to 2-3 times a week. It is extremely unsafe now. During time I was leasing car, I never missed any payments, was compliant with due dates, being a proper customer to Porsche dealer (which counts back for many years now). Again, I love the car, it is my dream car, however it is a threat now to my life and my family life. I beg your attention to this matter, as it is frustrating and disappointing experience now. Thank you for your time and business, I would like to remain good customer of Porsche in future, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
