My 22 Macan has been in the shop two times and is ready for a third. The first was a PCM reboot, the second a PCM replacement and last night the CEL came on. I've been told this seldom happens but I'm super bummed!! The dealership has been fantastic but this is getting a little tiresome.

A friend of mine has a Ferrari and claims something always needs fixed or tweaked. He loves the car and simply says "It's Italian." I really enjoy my Macan, but if my car issues are simply because "It's a Porsche," I'm not sure I have the patience.

Question is how many times in the first two years has your Macan been in the shop for something other than an oil change?

Twice in first month of ownership, but they were of my own doing. lol. I'll leave it at that. I can understand the impatience though, It's a ****ty feeling.

Kinda reminds me of owning a Ducati and how guys who say if your nuts weren't scorching on a ride then "It isn't a Ducati." lol. Sorry, but I love the looks, I just don't understand that logic; probably whey I went back to BMW for my motorcycles. They're bitchin' good looking bikes though.

Porsshes in general are quite reliable, especially the older you go. The auto industry and the consumers have created demand for lots of tech and electronics and the more of this that gets incorporated into cars, the less reliable and shorter longevity they'll have, so it's not a brand thing being a Porsche, it's an industry thing. All the electronics make it almost impossible to DIY things since you need a special computer to plug in to read the special codes, to know which black box module needs to be replaced. This industry change is why Ievwmnwirh 9 cars (7 Porsches) I don't own a car newer than 2012 and daily drive an 84 928 that I can mechanically fix myself. Haven't been to a dealer or Indy in a decade.

At least you're under warranty and should be able to get a loaner while you sort it out. Hopefully, it's just a couple of minor issues and once corrected, you'll be good for a while. Stick it out a bit longer as nothing drives like the Porsches and they're not anywhere near the same league as a Ferrari for repair frequency or cost.

Your experience to date is the exception and not the rule. Sorry to hear about your situation and hope you get it sorted. At least it's just PCM and not something else.

Hang in there. 5th Porsche, 2nd Macan. Older Macan w the transfer case and front cover oil leak, otherwise no other issues.

I have a 2016 MB GLC 300 that was a nightmare the first six month. Transmission valve body, pinched short in ignition harness, bad rear sensor module. Then complete reliability. I've thought about checking which day of the week it was built and see if it was after a major holiday. You might have an Octoberfest build

2022 Macan S, zero issue

Not the norm for Porsche. No real issues with ours and if you check J.D. Powers you will see Porsche rates very highly.

If it is under warranty, don't stress it. Porsche will make it right.

My 2021 Macan GTS is low mileage -- just 13K in two years. Zero issues.

2022 GTS - so far, no issues (knock wood).

I had 22 Macan base for 7 months with 7 k miles
had no issues
but unfortunately with covid disruptions not only in supply chain but in the consistency of the labor force, we are going to see more issues than usual in cars that were built in the 21/22 time frame
and this will be across the board

Sorry to hear you're having to deal with this and can understand that issues (particularly early on) get old real fast and can taint the ownership experience but as @Marv mentions above, I'd hang in there and give Porsche the chance to make things right.

If it helps any, we're in love with our 21 Macan S. While only 4,500 miles in, bought new in October 21 and zero issues.

4 months at the dealer finally Porsche is buying her back - 21k miles
