• Srs warning light illumination investigation # EA06005

  Porsche is initiating a customer notification action to address a condition related to a faulty or loose connector in the side airbag system.Porsches testing has shown that the faulty connector will not prevent side airbag deployment.The faulty connector will cause the circuit resistance to exceed the threshold for illumination of the air bag warning light.Porsche has reported a large number of warranty claims for illumination of the air bag warning light and many vehicles have been serviced to correct this condition as described in the cayenne technical information bulletin: group 6, #11/04 airbag warning light activated.Porsche will perform this service to all remaining uncorrected vehicles under a new product improvement campaign starting at the end of april 2007.All owners of a subject vehicle built through november 2004 will be notified by porsche to bring the vehicle to a dealer to receive the free modification.Vehicles built after november 2004 do not contain the subject connector.In addition, porsche reports that a small number of vehicles built in november and december 2003, may contain an incorrectly manufactured side airbag module.This may also produceillumination of the airbag warning light that would become evident soon after the vehicle is put into service.Warranty data indicates that these modules have been corrected and no longer present a risk.Porsche has not received any report of non-deployment of the side airbag.The action taken by porsche is sufficient to resolve the issue raised by this investigation.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 porsche cayenne. The contact stated that all four door latches failed to open from outside and inside the vehicle. The contact called porsche orlando (9590 us-17, maitland, fl 32751, (407) 680-0785) and was informed that there would be a fee to repair each door.

Google: cayenne wet floor. All cayenne have issue with poor water drainage system according to the websites. My car was driving fine before i parked it, then when i try to start it, i got an error on the info display in red: ignition lock fault, abs brake proportioning. No crank from the battery, transmission locked in park. So i googled it and found many owners from around the world reporting this issue. The drainage under the windshield can get blocked easily with debris, and cause water to overflow inside the cabin and or electrical modules located in the windshield cowl area. On the driver side as per video, i removed the rubber carpet and forced lifted the permanent carpet, and found pool of water underneath, on the metal floor was a bunch of wires connecting to the car battery under the driver seat were all under water. I started emptying but more water kept coming, foams, rubbers were all soaked. According to the forums after removing all water, i needed to locate 3 set of wires amongst the bunch, these 3 are joined by twisting and wrapped with electrical tape/gauge from the factory. These wires since exposed are susceptible to corrosion. 1 set of wire completely snapped, apparently 1 wire is for abs brake, and the other is for ignition key lock that renders the car immobilized. I followed the video describing the steps to fix this issue myself, and big bold letters on videos to do not bring the car to the dealer as they will charge thousands, if modules need replacing, rust an owner recorded a video online of his cayenne dash stop working, all lights blinking while the car was in motion. Luckily mine malfunctioned while parked at home, not driving with my family. I have 2 cayenne, a 2005 and 2008 that my wife drives. I need to follow forum instruction in cleaning the drainage and removing the grommet that can be blocked and cause water not to drain.

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.
