Well, 5 days later I have a new tailgate latch so we can open the trunk again. And I can drive without incessant beeping. However, after this fix, the tailgate still won’t close without a brute force slam. Service explained the tailgate motor was damaged as part of the repairs Porsche made...

If you are getting AC but no/slow heat, it might be different. My symptoms were: if I switched the system to AC, it would immediately switch to Off. Mine was caused by pinched refrigerant lines that resulted in all of the refrigerant slowly leaking out. There was a production run where they...

A theory popped into my head. I’ve forwarded it onto our service advisor. Here goes: - Back in October,, our SA told us that our car was “damaged in transit” and that delivery would be delayed. The only detail she was provided was that the damage was to the rear bumper. She said Porsche was...

We picked up our car up Oct 19 and didn’t drive it until Oct 29 (went out of town). Since then, it has been in for service 3 times (9 days cumulative in the shop). Our last car, a Chevy Volt, required exactly 1 maintenance service in 14 years. We were very early adopters on a car with a unique...

While we can’t use our car right now due to this problem, we can still do small CostCo runs using our e-bikes. I’m so happy we got big saddle bags as Thanksgiving is approaching and we were short of whipped cream! Hopefully the dealer will give us good news tomorrow when we take it down beeping...

I’ve tried everything I can think of to manually open the tailgate. I was able to muscle it when this happened before, but this time no luck. Is there a secret release latch for the trunk? I’ve searched the forums and the manuals, and there is nothing for our car. The ICE macan had it, but when...

Thanks. When we can move the tailgate again, I’ll try this. Right now we’re in limbo - it won’t close completely, it won’t open so we can’t close it, and the car perceives correctly that it is open so it beeps constantly and won’t allow us to lock.

I’m nervous to try this. But thanks for the suggestion.

I tried, but didn’t help. It actually tries to open as I can hear the mechanism engage, I can also feel it trying to lift if I put my hand on the trunk. But it sounds like something catches in the locking mechanism and it gives up. And the trunk is still ever so slightly open (may 2 mm). Here’s...

Sometimes when we use the foot gesture to open the tailgate, it only opens about 2 inches and then stops. Today this happened to my partner and rather than physically lifting the tailgate the rest of the way, he tried to re-close it. It didn’t close completely. Now, the car senses the tailgate...

Got the car back today. They were able to overnight the parts to SF from Atlanta so the repair went fast. The shop supervisor said there was an early batch of cars where the AC lines got pinched during their build The nhtsb bulketin Porsche published exactly described the problem and...

The cost of the car, service contracts, stargard, and various fees totals $117,767.06 We paid $5,600 cash due at signing. This included our first lease payment. $117,767 - $5,600 = $112,167 (purchase price - cash surrendered ) However, the payoff is $105,805; $7,000 less than if we paid...

I intended to buy, but my dealer was very transparent about taking the lease to get the $7,500 tax credit. So, I took out a 24 month lease. PFS lets you request the payoff amount at any time. So I requested it a few weeks after we took the car home. The number was $6,500 less than the final...

Our service department thinks "pinched AC lines" are the problem with our car. They ordered these 2 weeks ago from Atlanta and they arrive in SF last week. We are scheduled to drop our car off tomorrow (Wednesday). They say it's a labor-intensive fix, so they want it for at least 3 days...

I noticed a similar pattern. The weather has been very nice in SF and the battery stays at ambient temperature (~65 degrees Fahrenheit). I've only fast charged twice and I was at 50% SOC when I started. Both times, I noticed the battery heated up to 90-100 degrees (Fahrenheit). I won't be...

Note - I'm creating this thread for the "known issues" list... Our Macan 4 was delivered without functioning air conditioning. We accepted the car as it's fall, so we figured we could live without AC. The specific problem is when we turn the AC on, it turns off automatically after a few...

I’ve got the assisted parking to work 3 times after several attempts. I’ve struggled to figure out how it decides to detect a spot. When it does, it does a great job parking. But it’s pretty annoying to drive SLOWLY by an obvious spot and not have it recognized. My SA sent me a video to watch...

You do not lose the foot release when you spec the tow hook.

They think the ac lines are pinched. They mentioned something about a service bulletin about this. They are ordering new lines from Atlanta. They think it could take up to a week to repair after the parts arrive. Bit shocked by this. Shouldn’t they have caught this during the vehicle...

We picked up our 4 on Oct 19. At handover, we noticed the ac wasn’t working. Specifically, when we turn the ac on, it immediately turns off. The SA said she’d have a service tech call us to schedule an appointment. She didn’t. Sigh. We took it in today and are waiting to hear the prognosis. The...
