The Porsche Story

Friend purchased a new Porsche Cayenne SUV.
Somewhere around $85,000 as did not want base model.

Loves it.
BUT.
It has one issue. That so far has not been fixed.

The automatic tailgate. Neat feature. No key needed.

More then a few times - with tailgate opened - while bending down into rear - the tailgate closes all by itself. Randomly - not all of the time.
This could potentially hurt either husband or wife if not very careful.

Took back to Porsche dealership. They could not find any issue. The Porsche dealership explained HOW to use the real tailgate, how to stand, where to stand, etc.

Next, as issue continued. The Porsche dealership on 2nd visit - as issue continued - the Porsche dealership "flashed" the computer or reprogrammed the vehicles computer.

Still has issue. But it is very random. Maybe once per month.

At what point does technology go too far?
