When accelerating from a stop the car skips/shutters. This generally occurs gears 2-3. This problem has placed me in danger when trying to accelerate while making left hand turns.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 porsche cayenne. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a rattling noise occurred before the vehicle loss power and stalled. During the failure, the check engine warning light had illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer porsche of new orleans located at 3700 n causeway blvd, metairie, la 70002 who replaced the transmission transfer gear. Approximately 20,000 miles later the failure recurred and the contact was informed that the transfer gear was faulty and needed to be replaced a second time. In addition, the speed sensors in all four wheels were faulty causing the vehicle to randomly slow down and not accelerate. The sensors were replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failures but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 12,000.
Differetial failed in motion highway. Car operated made a lot of noise, needed to be towed in.
Documenting this common transfer case problem. Felt and heard shutter/noise at slow speeds when driving slow and jerky movement upon accelerating. Car had only 40k miles and unluckily just past warranty. Replaced transfer case for $4500 in sep 2018 and now in jul 2020, another 14k miles later, I'm starting to hear similar symptoms brewing...not a good sign. Porsche should give replacement transfer case another 4 years warranty instead of just 1 year.
When the shift gear is moved from drive mode to park mode - I was hear reasonably loud clicking noise. Same way moving from park to neutral or drive the sound reoccurs.
At about 25,000 the cayenne started making bump upon acceleration and especially when turning. I understand this can be a safety issue unless addressed .the dealer diagnosed the problem as the transfer case which was replaced. Now we have 49,000 miles on the vehicle and it is starting to exhibit the same transfer case symptoms as before. In googling the internet this problem seems to be quite prevalent with both the porsche cayenne and macan. Moreover, the cost replace a transfer case is in the $5,000 when our of warranty which my 2014 is now. Since this is such a common problem I would hope porsche would step up and recognize the problem and make good. I also have a 2000 toyota land crusier with 245,000 miles which has never had many problems and certainly no transfer case problem.
When accelerating from a stop gears seems to be missing and jumpy between 2-5 gears, like shudders on gears. I read that it's common problem with cayenne. This needs to be addressed by porsche as it is very costly. Vehicle only have 21,000 miles.
While accelerating transmission shifting from 2 to 5 gear, it shudders and power lurches. Same while making turn at stop sign from stop to accelerate at city street power lurches. Possible to cause t bone accident. High chances of complete power loss due to transmission failure due to faulty tranfer case resulting in catastrophic accident. Ask porsche to replace tranfer case with new designed tranfer case.
Common problem, the tranfer case breaks down causing loss of control while driving. As a result of the problem the vehicle can lurch forward and also fail to accelerate causing safety issues.
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.
