2004 Porsche Cayenne V6 from UK and Ireland - Comments

Non stop problems since owning the car, which has only been 2 months. The AC does not work properly in the front if the rear is on and vice versa, even cheap cars don't do this. The Battery/Generator comes on at least twice a week, it has been back 3 times for this, the last time, the car was scratched whilst in their care - they have put this right. The window wipers screech, and again the car has been back 3 times for this. Love the car, but am very disappointed in the faults. Altogether in 8 weeks of having it, it has been back to Porsche for 17 days, and needs to go back again!

Love the look of the car.

Handles very well, thinks it's a car.

I have purchased a Porsche Cayenne V6 3.2, This has to be the worse car I have owned! The battery generator light keeps switching on, the rear glass (trunk) window won't close, The Central London dealership had gave me false promises and lies from the moment I placed my order regarding delivery times etc, I don't care about the heavy loss of money, this heap is going...

I work for Porsche as an apprentice tech and would like to help.

1) The rear hatch is a 5 min fix book it in

2) I'm sure if you ask your dealer they will do their best to help with any problems.

The Cayenne is full of new technology to the company and teething problems have occured, It is however the best on road 4x4 available and I'm sure if you persevere you will not regret it.

You are not seriously suggesting that someone paying $50K USD or more for a luxury SUV should be a beta tester, are you?

If Porsche or any car manufacturer can't get it right the first time the car/SUV should not be released. PERIOD.

Porche should not released the car if it is in beta stage. See sale of goods and services act.

All European manufacturers today treat their customers as beta testers.

Even executives of the BMW Car Club of America, BMW's biggest supporter in the states, recommend its members not buy a first year model BMW, something they had never said before.

If you work for Porsche and you promise better services I suggest that you stand for what you write and help with solving these problems. Like providing your email for example.

I have never owned a Porsche, but my girlfriend has a 928 in her garage and I have driven it quite a few times. We got engaged recently and were out shopping for an SUV/crossover. We test drove the Cayenne S for two hours and were terribly disappointed. The performance was adequate, nothing to write home about, but still above that of your standard SUV. The interior SUCKS!! I couldn't get over just how primitive this top-of-the-line SUV's was. It looked like something out of the 80's. We bought an Infiniti FX 35, saved a bunch of money and have everything we want for that vehicle. I really love Porsche, but this was outrageous, can anyone relate to what I'm saying?

I just bought a cayenne not up to 4 months

1. I was driving to work and the car started misfiring and slowing down to about 50mph, took it to the garage spent £420 for 6 misfiring ignition coil that cost £26.69 each.

2. the day I picked it up she came up with a battery generator light which was OK before I took it in.

3. I was told it the alternator that gone so it will cost me another £1200 + which I'm not convinced about because I did 200 miles with starting and stopping the engine before taking it back in.I'm sure the battery would have died if the alternator is gone.

Can someone that's got the same problem or solution advice before spending more money please.........
