2004 PORSCHE CAYENNE S Electrical System Problems

WHILE DRIVING WITH BOTH OF MY CHILDREN IN THE RAIN MY ENTIRE CAR LOCKED AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPES STOPPED MY WINDOWS WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN AND MY DOORS LOCKED ON AND OFF MY ALARM SYSTEM STARTED TO GO OFF UNCONTROLLABLY EVEN WHILE DRIVING PORSCHE ISN'T BEING OF ANY HELP GIVING ME RUN AROUNDS ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE PROCESS OF THE INCIDENT

WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND COMING FROM UNDER THE CENTER CONSOLE AND MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN PROCEEDED ON BUT ONCE THE TRUCK GOT OVER 20MPH THE KNOCKING NOISE STARTED AGAIN . *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WITHOUT WARNING LUCKILY IT HAPPENED TO MY YOUNG SON SO HE COULD GET OUT AND GET IN FROM OTHER DOOR TO DRIVE TO DEALER. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE NEW DOOR LOCK, ACCORDING TO DEALER SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO FEW CARS.IN THE PAST. MY CONCERN IS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IS IT WAS ME OR MY WIFE , WE ARE NOT FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO GET OUT FROM OTHER DOORS. WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY WHEN YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DOOR LOCKS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR OLDER MODELS THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE WAY TO OPEN DRIVERSIDE DOOR MANUALLY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. *TR

**UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION** CAYENNE S ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 60 MPH, I ENCOUNTERED TRAFFIC AHEAD AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, HOWEVER THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING. I TRIED LIFTING THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT, NO LUCK, APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE CAR SLOWED, HOWEVER, WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, THE CAYENNE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD NOT BEEN ACTIVATED AND WAS OFF. I KEPT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND RELEASING IT AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES AND FINALLY THE CAYENNE STOPPED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, ONLY TO LOSE ANY CONTROL TO ACCELERATE. I COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT AND STOPPED THE CAR. TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED - I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLOW AND GEAR INDICATOR ON THE DASH CLUSTER DISPLAYED A BLACK 'D' IN AN ORANGE SQUARE. THIS IS A SYMBOL THAT DOES NOT EXIST...

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS (LEFT, RIGHT AND HIGH MOUNTED) REMAIN LIT AT ALL TIMES, AS DOES THE REAR RIGHT AND LEFT FOG LIGHTS. TURNING LIGHTS ON OR OFF HAS NO EFFECT. DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED RANDOMLY AND INCONSISTENTLY AND WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN UNOCCUPIED AND UNATTENDED AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING. WHILE UNATTENDED, THE LIGHTS COMING ON DRAINS THE BATTERY AND CAN STRAND THE DRIVER. IF PROBLEM OCCURS AND THE BATTERY IS NOT DRAINED, THE DRIVER MAY BE WHOLLY UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND MAY DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE AND REAR FOG LIGHTS LIT. THIS PROBLEM ALSO CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAIN ON AT ALL TIMES. FOLLOWING DRIVERS HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT THE DRIVER MAY BE BRAKING AND COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL REAR END COLLISION. THE DRIVER OF THE CAYENNE, IS...
