2019 Cayenne S - Steering Problem
Discussion
Good morning PHers,
I my 2019 model Cayenne S started suffering out of the blue from a strong pulling to the left.
Porsche have done a wheel alignment and swapped all alloys but to no avail.
The dealership is now offering to swap the entire steering rack for £5,000 as they are not allowed to touch the actual steering column. Add to this the £1,000 already spent and still no idea whether replacing the rack will work, and this is all getting out of hand.
Would anyone have an Indy garage in London / West London to recommend?
Sincerely,
John

Interesting timing - as I have also started to notice my 2019 Cayenne Turbo is starting to pull to the left..
I know most roads have camber - but i've had the car for a year and have never noticed this before.
I am almost having to hold the wheel to the right to keep it tracking straight and if i let go of the wheel - it veers off straight to the left!!
Have checked the tyres and pressures are all ok, I haven't whacked a pothole and there are no vibrations from the wheels either..
Also the electric steering column switch is no longer working - so have booked it in to Porsche (its under warranty) to investigate.
Will be interesting to see what they suggest is causing the pull to the left.....
Cheers

the electric steering column switch...
to adjust the height etc of the steering wheel - mines packed up. moving the toggle (switch) does nothing...
Also- had the tracking adjusted this morning - seems it was out of spec. however even with that adjustment done, the car still behaves the same - so goes to Porsche next month...

Quick update -
My car has been in Porsche since Tuesday.
I had a technician road test the car with me, who confirmed that yes this is not normal behaviour and was quite unsafe!
Porsche have so far replaced the steering column and performed a 4 wheel re-alignment (required after changing the column) - car still behaves the same..
The investigation continues...

Maybe totally unrelated but there is a steering ECM, part number 955.618.047.04
I had a power steering problem on my 2007 S whereby the steering would go very heavy.
My indy suggested changing out the ECM as it has been known to be related to a variety of problems.
Part cost less from Porsche than Design911, but I can't link to it other than on Design911's site:

Was an easy fit apparantly and totally cured my problem.
