2018 Porsche Panamera 4-door

turbocharged 8-cylinder automated manual AWD

1800 mi On each stop transmission banged all through the drivetrain. First said would learn, next replaced pressure sensors. Last finale fix was a new transmission, and drive shaft [they broke shaft was not faulty] in shop total 47 days. They had to drop engine to get Trans out. Major bad experience, Porsche US or Germany did not know what to do, they had 2 different techs come to Dallas, later they were requested and sending video of issue and asked to drive a good car and mine and send notes. I went into a tirade and said replace the trans or computer module or replace the car. German sent a new trans that worked and in case but not needed a new module. Car is fine with only now 1,800 mild on it this was a problem since new on Nov 22, 2017 
3000 mi Finally fix the transmission problem. A total of 80 days at the dealer repair facility. Porsche corporate made them have several people from Atlanta and Germany come out to drive the car to fill in the car and many other things. And finally I started screaming to either change the transmission or the computer. Finally they ordered a new transmission but taking it out broke the driveshaft. How to wait for a drive shaft. Next the module and small wiring harness were damaged the car had no reverse ended up towing it to the dealer. Once they fix this the car was fine. Sending unit on trans bad, caused no reverse and limp mode had to be towed
