Two years after delivery. Panamera (971) failure and defect summary

Porsche Maintenance Costs

Panamera, defect

The 971 Panamera Turbo already has a mileage of over 25,000 km. The other day, two years have passed since the delivery of the car, and I decided to take this opportunity to summarize the problems and failures related to the Panamera. However, there have been no breakdowns and no serious problems at all....

1.PSM failure, maintenance required

Immediately after taking delivery of the car, I took a road trip to Fuji Speedway and back for breaking-in, but on the way home it was raining quite heavily. As I was driving on the highway in the torrential rain, I suddenly heard the sound ofPSM failure Maintenance required Drive with cautionI got an error message saying.

At that time, I was driving with cruise control (ACC), which was also automatically deactivated, and no matter how much I tried, I could no longer operate cruise control.

After that, I parked the Panamera at a nearby PA, turned off the engine, and restarted it. The error message disappeared, and I was able to drive normally from there as if nothing had happened, and was able to return home safely. Later, I asked the dealer to take a look at it.In the torrential downpour, it could have malfunctioned.This was called "the

Incidentally, this error message has never appeared since then.

2. gasoline filler opening/closing lid

When I went to the gas station for the first time after taking delivery of the car and tried to fill up the gas tank."I was very surprised at how difficult it was to open the lid of the fueling port.The 971 Panamera has a fuel filler opening that is pushed open, but when pushed, it is hard to open as if the spring force is not working...I can't think how to describe it, but at any rate it is hard and difficult to open.

In my case, I pressed the back of my hand hard against the edge of the fuel filler cap.He was pushing it open with his weight as if he was giving a heart massage.but some of the gas station attendants also said that they wereHow do you open this?Some people asked, "What do you want to do?

As for the difficulty in opening the lid of this fuel filler port, I was told at the time of some kind of inspection, "It is difficult to open the lid of the fuel filler port.Fixed a problem with the lid of the fuel supply port.I was told by the maintenance person that I could open the door without any problems after that.

3. sports chrono watch time

One day, I got into my Panamera, and poof, I looked at my Sport Chrono watch, and the time looked very strange.

23:52"...why the hell not (-_-)

I decided to fix the time while poking around in my Panamera, saying, "No, no, no, it's daytime no matter what you think." I had to fix the system's "Date and TimeI was able to fix it right away by pressing the automatic time synchronization from the "+" section.

Nevertheless, we are not sure as to why this misrepresentation was made, but we have not had any such problems since.

4. tire puncture

This is not a problem with the Panamera itself, just a flat tire, but I have had two flat tires. The first time was a year after I took delivery of the car, the right rear tire went flat, and the second time, in May of this year, the right front tire went flat.

In both cases, there was a nail in it, but it wasn't serious, so it only needed to be repaired by the dealer, but I guess that means I'm getting a flat tire every year so far.

Symptoms at engine startup

This was a symptom my husband felt, and one that did not occur when I started the engine."The engine stalls when starting.It seems that there have been a couple of "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" events. The following error seems to occur, similar to when you try to start the engine of a motorcycle and it doesn't start properly.

However, once I turn off the main switch and start the engine again, the engine seems to start and the error disappears as if nothing happened. My husband said, "It is more likely to happen if the engine is started while the door is open and the seat is moving.He said, "I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce it at all after that.

I had this looked at during my two-year inspection on this matter."Normally, the computer keeps an error history, but due to the number of normal startups, the old error history has been lost.The cause of the problem was not identified.

Porsche, Panamera

During the past two years, our Panamera has been running well, with minor problems but no significant breakdowns. During that time, I have driven the Panamera to and from Fuji Speedway many times, through winding roads, on highways in torrential rain, on circuits, and experienced full acceleration and full braking by participating in the Porsche Track Experience.We have been running the Panamera under very harsh conditions, but it has not broken down, in fact, it is running better than before.I think.

The Panamera is a great car after all.

    I was very sympathetic to the error messages during heavy rains.
    I am a Macan driver and the error message often appears during heavy rain or the next day. It appears for a moment and then disappears, but I am not at peace with it because I can see it perfectly.
    Still, he takes me to work every day and I know he abuses it, but it is a lovely car that works well.

      So the same thing happens with the Macan...!
      As you say, even though I think it will be fine, that error message is quite scary (laughs).
      I, too, was quite impatient when it came out, wondering what I would do if it got out of control.

      With the Macan, it looks very comfortable and easy to drive to work or whatever.
      It seems like the mileage could go anywhere (laughs).
