What owners wrote
Car rattles and shakes significantly (especially the rear wheels) during acceleration. Took the car to dealer informed me that it is the 'transfer box' that has failed and it is a known problem with this car. The issue is so common that porsche does not have parts available and they are on back order. The wait for the parts to arrive could be in months. This should be a recall.
Car lurches starting around 25 miles per hour and continuing until reaching a cruising speed 50 or thereabouts. Took it in for an oil change at a german car repair company and asked them to evaluate my findings. The transfer case needs to be replaced. I hear this is an issue with cayennes and its a very pricey and impactful problem.
