My vehicle has camshaft and crankshaft correlation problems due to the well-known problem with its screws and other things. I reported it to Porsche and they told me that it has already been repaired but I don't understand how to fail again and deny help for its repair.

What 2011 Porsche Cayenne owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Intake camshafts adjuster bolts broke while in motion on city street c@p case with porsche # 0005611574 manufacturer campaign number : ah08
Engine stopped working.
The aluminum bolts on the timing cover are broken causing an oil leak. If the all bolts are made of aluminum then what about the transfer case? I've heard about near accidents because of bolts breaking either because of the material difference between the bolts and the magnesium in the motor. It has occurred on other models of porsches. Porsche should recall and fix the aluminum bolts on all parts.
Coolant leaks while vehicle is stationary. Leak is due to faulty plastic that was redesigned to metal tubing due to common reported issues. Plastic tubing connected to coolant system will become brittle and cracked, causing overheating and lost of coolant. This issue is commonly reported about the 2011 cayanne with a dealership cost of up to $4500.

The bolts on the camshaft controller broke inside of my engine. When this happened, I was driving southbound on the 405 freeway in los angeles, ca. The car violently jerked and then stalled on the freeway. This almost caused a major accident, but thankfully everyone was able to avoid my car. I've been told by a few repair shops that the damage done by the loose bolts likely damaged the engines internal components and I will likely be needing a new engine or an overhaul of the existing engine.
