Most common problems:

Brake wear

The Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) system may cause increased brake wear due to frequent engagement, especially in high-performance driving conditions.

Oil leaks

The Porsche Panamera, particularly with an 8-cylinder engine, may experience oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets or oil pan.

Coolant leaks

Coolant leaks are common in the Panamera and can occur at the water pump or radiator connections.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain in the 8-cylinder Porsche engine can stretch or wear over time, leading to potential timing issues and engine damage.

Electrical problems

The Panamera is known to have electrical issues, including problems with the battery, alternator, and various sensors.

Turbocharger failure

For turbocharged models, there can be issues with the turbocharger, including bearing failure or oil seal leaks.

Transmission problems

The Panamera's transmission, particularly the PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung), can experience issues such as rough shifting or failure of the mechatronics.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, such as those in the 2018 Panamera, are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel economy.

Suspension wear

The Panamera's suspension components, including control arms and bushings, can wear out prematurely, especially under sporty driving conditions.

Software glitches

The vehicle's complex electronic systems, including the infotainment and driver assistance features, can suffer from software glitches requiring updates or resets.
