Porsche Cayenne Lemon Law

Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if the same substantial defect in your Cayenne has been subject to two or more repair attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days, you may have a valid lemon law claim. The defect must substantially impair the use, value, or safety of the vehicle.

Repeated limp-mode events caused by a turbocharger or engine management defect can constitute a substantial impairment of safety and use under the Song-Beverly Act. If Porsche's authorized dealer has been unable to fix the issue after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a full refund. Document every visit and retain all repair orders.

Yes. California's Song-Beverly Act applies to vehicles sold with a manufacturer's express written warranty, which includes Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned warranties. The coverage must still be active at the time the defect first manifests. CPO vehicles receive the same lemon law protections as new vehicles during the warranty period.

Intermittent defects are fully covered under the Song-Beverly Act as long as the defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety. Air suspension failures that cause ride height drops or PASM faults are safety-related concerns. Keep a written log of each occurrence with dates and conditions to strengthen your claim.
