If I'm not mistaken I think lemon law has to be same problem 3 times...not various problems?

he's working his way through.
apparently at one point PCNA was going to buy the car back from him, but have decided to continue throwing parts at it hoping it's fixed and he'll keep the car.

the other videos are interesting as well.

mirrors automatically go down
random no starts
dash and electronics stop working
smoke from the windows
window rolls down
bad rear sensor

iirc this was the 8th trip in 6 months of ownership to the dealer for warranty work. he does mention that even the service advisor has said that the car is beyond repair and PCNA should take it back.

jake's bad grounding post is interesting. i would hope that in all those visits someone would have noticed it, but i wouldn't be surprised.

Almost the same that happened with my Cayenne, bought brand new in 2006. Had all sorts of issues and over 48 months the car spent a full month at the dealer (in multiple visits). At one point I had to take pictures from the dash clearly showing the errors as they could not retrieve anything from the computer logs on the car. Once I did that Porsche stopped trying to charge me for diagnosing non-existent problems (according to them). Most of the issues were addressed but not all.

It was really funny to see the guy Porsche sent from Germany to work on a Carrera GT that had gremlins all over at the same dealer, then moving on and working on my Cayenne, trying to fix it. He almost got it right. LOL

Needless to say, once warranty was over, car was gone.

So typical of early Cayennes and dealer mechanic "troubleshooting".

*plugs computer in* Computer shows no code.

"There, it's fixed!"

A monkey can plug the car to the computer and call themselves mechanic these days.
