I received notice last year of a recall concerning the passenger air bag and contacted the dealer Suncoast Porsche in Sarasota immediately to schedule service. As of November they did not have parts but expected them in soon and said they would call to schedule. On January 15th I called to confirm that we were still expecting the parts at which time I was told that Porsche is no longer fixing the defective part and will only provide that service if the warning light comes on. Therefore at this time I have a defective part that I am not allowed to order a part for which leaves me with a safety hazard in my vehicle and diminishes my value as a trade-in and as a used car sale since I am not allowed to fix it. I feel that this is a serious breach of duty as far as Porsche is concerned and would like to have this addressed please.

The manufacturer was unable to remedy the defect in the past 6 months despite I followed up multiple times. The respective service was also unable to provide estimated fix date as they mentioned no clear date provided by the manufacturer as to when the part will be available
I have been trying to have this recall taken care of by Porsche for the last 4 months. Both Walnut Creek and Livermoore dealers have been unable to do this recall repair leaving the front passenger airbag non-functional as best I can tell. It serves no purpose to have a safety recall if there is no ability to have the recall repaired despite multiple attempts to contact the dealer. Both site inability to obtain any parts. I believe this likely poses an important safety issue for the front seat occupants.

Porsche headquarters is unable to produce the part associated with this recall since April 2021. The dealer does not have the part either. I am unable to have passengers in vehicle causing hardship due to failure to fix recall by Porsche
This recall was issued Apr 30,2021. Despite multiple follow ups the manufacturers is not responsive and the dealer cannot provide a timeline to fix it other than saying it may be sometime in 2022. In the meanwhile, I keep getting airbag warnings and tire pressure warnings despite the car tire pressure being fine (checked pressure with a manual gauge).

The diagnostic shows that the sensor for the driver-side airbag is indicating low ohms (1.3) compared to standard ohm of 3+ that is required for the airbag to deploy. This could cause the airbag to now deploy as intended during an accident.
I bought my car used this may 2019 and the passenger airbag light has stayed on indicating that it doesn't detect anyone in the seat so it won't deploy if I get in an accident. . I looked up porsche macan recalls. And this exact same issue has been recalled in 2015-2016 macans and 2017 macan gts. My macan is a turbo. I took it in to the dealer thinking I was apart of this and was told I needed to pay 2085 dollars because my specific VIN hadn't been recalled. I asked if this was the exact same malfunction the other 2015-2017 macans had and they said yes but we can't cover yours. This is an obvious scary issue that has already been recalled and they said they now want to re quote me and will only cover 80 % of repair and want me to pay 500 dollars . I don't feel like I should have to pay for a known safety part malfunctioning and putting my passengers in big risk for porsche's known faulty seat sensors. If I get in an accident before getting money to cover this issue
Was pulling into a parking lane, at a shopping center with my foot on the brake, ready to put the vehicle in park, when the car suddenly felt as if it locked down brakes failed and the engine accelerated out of my control head on into another vehicle parked across a divider. I had no control of steering or brakes .. The car flashed a power steering failure.. Airbags never deployed, and my vehicle sustained over $8,000 in damages. I had asked for data report that porsche extracted from my car with no response.
