MY VEHICLE WAS SITTING OUTSIDE MY HOME FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I THEN DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR A DRIVE ONLY TO SEE SEVERAL FEATURES IN THE CAR MALFUNCTION AND NOT WORKING. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD LEARNED THE TRUNK OF MY CAR FILLED UP WITH LOTS OF WATER DUE TO THE DRAINAGE HOLES BEING BLOCKED WITHH DEBRIS. THIS RESULTED IN A MASSIVE CIRCUIT SHORTAGE IN THE REAR ELECTRICAL AND SOUND SYSTEM LOCATED IN MY TRUNK RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE.

I DROVE 5 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE TO A GAS STATION ON MY WAY TO WORK. AS I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND GOT ONTO A HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND MAKING A VERY LOUD,HARSH NOISE. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AS CARS WERE APPROACHING AT HIGH SPEED. I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR KEPT SHUTTERING AND FINALLY LOST POWER. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH NO LUCK. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. I CONSIDER MYSELF A VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. AFTER CHECKING THE CAR AND CHANGING MANY PARTS, IT WAS DIAGNOSED. CAMSHAFT SPROCKET BOLTS SHEERED OFF CAUSING CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO ENGINE. THE BOLTS AND ALUMINUM PARTICLE ENTERED THE ENGINE CYLINDERHEADS AND PISTON WITH MAJORENGINE FAILURE.

BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN LIGHTS STARTED COMING UP ON MY DASH WITH SOUND ALERTS. CAR SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES BUT WOULD RESTART WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD. RIGHT CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER BOLTS BROKE IN FEB 2016, LEFT CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER BOLTS BROKE IN OCTOBER 2016 ALONG WITH EXHAUST CAMSHAFT BROKEN IN 2 PIECES AND NOW 5 BENT VALVES. 3 OF THE 5 BRIDGES RIPPED AND BROKEN THAT HOLDS THE EXHAUST CAMSHAFT DOWN. ENGINE STILL OUT OF THE CAR. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL PUMP IN TANK FAILED SINCE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP IS ON CAMSHAFT THAT WAS CONNECTED TO ADJUSTER. ANTIFREEZE ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE IN THE V OF THE ENGINE SO WATER PUMP , THERMOSTAT AND HOUSING REPLACED.

MY CAR HAS KEYLESS ENTRY TO TURN ON AND OFF IGNITION. WHEN I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION BUT FAILED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT WAS LEFT IN DRIVE. I WALKED AWAY FROM THE CAR AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS WHERE IT HIT MY BASKETBALL POLE AND CAUSED QUITE A BIT OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I THINK THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY ON THIS VEHICLE. WITH KEYED ENTRY VEHICLES YOU CAN NOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHILE IT IS IN DRIVE AND MUST BE PLACED IN PARK TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. OTHER KEYLESS VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN SUCH AS THE AUDI A8 HAVE A FEATURE IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IN DRIVE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THE PORSCHE PANAMERA, ON THE OTHER HAND, TAKES THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND PUTS IT INTO NEUTRAL SO THAT IT CAN ROLL FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHICH I BELIEVE IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. IN MY CASE, IT TOOK THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND MOVED TO NEUTRAL TO ALLOW IT TO ROLL BACKWARDS. IF THERE WAS A CHILD BEHIND MY CAR THEY WOULD

ABOUT 4 OZ OF WATER STARTED POURING OUT OF EACH AIR VENT WHEN I ACCELERATED. THIS CAUSED A SHORT IN THE CENTRE BUTTON CONSOLE. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK THE CONSOLE WAS OPERATIONAL, THE AIR CONDITIONING DID NOT WORK AND THE WATER STARTED TO ACCUMULATE AGAIN. BLUETOOTH KEEPS CUTTING OUT AND DROPS CALLS. THE FIFTH (REAR) DOOR MAKES METAL TO METAL CONTACT DUE TO A MISALIGNMENT OF THE HINGE (STILL AFTER AUTO BODY WORK WAS COMPLETED BY PORSCHE). THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A LEMON AND PORSCHE NA HAS DONE NOTHING TO STEP UP THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE EXCEPT KEPT TELLING ME TO RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE. I GAVE UP AFTER MORE THAN A HALF DOZEN ATTEMPTS. *TR
