Over the years of driving the Cayenne, I've noticed some recurring minor issues. The electronic system is the top concern, with occasional freezes in the navigation or dashboard that require a restart. The air suspension is also problematic, as older models tend to leak air and creak when driving. The air conditioning system is particularly prone to failure in the summer, blowing hot air when it's least welcome. Sunroof leaks are also common, leading to water accumulation inside the car during rainy days. I recommend regular maintenance, especially cleaning the condenser and checking suspension seals, as preventive care can save a lot of trouble. The transmission's jerky shifts are quite noticeable during driving, making acceleration less smooth. Overall, while the Cayenne is a great car, these minor faults need timely attention.
