2005 PORSCHE CAYENNE Fuelpropulsion System Problems

We purchased the 2005 Porsche Cayenne from my brother-in-law in August of 2022. He had owned the vehicle for at least a year before I purchased it from him. Shortly after the purchase, I noticed the engine light came on. On 09/12/22 a strong smell of fuel was emitting from the vehicle in a Walmart parking lot in Denton, Texas at approximately 1030pm. I noticed a large puddle of gasoline on the ground under the vehicle and it was steady stream of fuel while the vehicle was running. The vehicle was completely unsafe to drive for fear of ignition and fire. Due to the time and location, I had the vehicle towed to my mechanic approximately 3 miles away for diagnosis and/or repair. The closest Porsche dealership was approximately 25 miles away and the tow bill would have been excessive. Mechanic identified the problem as a cracked fuel filter flange/housing...

PORSCHE RECALLED THIS FUEL PUMP (17V-576) AFTER I REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON IT WAS RECALLED. I'VE CONTACTED PORSCHE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT ADDRESSED REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP FILTER FLANGE. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 2 YEARS NOW? WHAT CAN I DO?

I CALLED 3 TIMES TO HAVE MY RECALL REMEDIED AND PORSCHE DENIED ME EACH TIME BUT YOUR WEBSITE SAYS I HAVE AN OPEN RECALL, THEY TOLD ME IT IS BECAUSE THE RECALL WASN'T THAT IMPORTANT

I NOTICED A RECALL ON YOUR SITE FOR MY VIN # BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN REACHED BY PORSCHE TO FIX. I'M UNSURE IF THIS HAS BEEN THE CULPRIT OF MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH.
