What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 5 model years this bulletin names have filed 10 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 3 of them name Engine — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
The contact owns a 2020 Porsche Panamera. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power, jerked, and the vehicle would not properly accelerate. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.
