NHTSA complaints for the 2025 Porsche Cayenne, grouped by the part owners named. Open a row to read what goes wrong.
Driver-assistance systems shut off without warning, and the dash shows several failure messages at once. Adaptive cruise control and related safety features drop out, sometimes at highway speed, with no collision, impact, or damage to explain it. The faults are erratic and come and go often. They have appeared on nearly new cars. Dealers working under warranty have had trouble finding a cause. When adaptive cruise cuts out at speed, the driver has to take over right away. Only 3 complaints are on file, so this is a small sample.
