MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND VERY LOW MILES (70K+) SINCE I WORK MOSTLY FROM HOME. I SUDDENLY STARTED TO HEAR A BAD NOISE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AND COULD FEEL THE CAR SHAKING WHENEVER STARTED TO ACCELERATE. TOOK TO A PORSCHE SPECIALIZED MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME IT IS A RECURRING ISSUE ON THE CAYENNE. LONG STORE SHORT, SPENT TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE.

WITHIN MINUTES OF DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL, I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAYENNE, THEN A SQUEALING, AND THE CAR BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY DURING ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY AND WAS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE IN MORNING TRAFFIC. THE SERVICE MAN AT THE PORSCHE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THAT MY DRIVE SHAFT HAD COME APART. I AM A VERY CAREFUL DRIVER AND MY CAR HAS LOW MILES. I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF HOW QUICKLY THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. *TR
