It took a good number of weeks to get a response but once I got a case number an appointed a case handler the comms got better. You really have to be all over it and chase emails etc. very frustrating as you would think the dealer ( who your contract is with) would take charge and make contact...
Hi Matthew,
Firstly sorry to hear of your issues. I feel your pain. I have a slightly less than two year old Taycan that has been off the road for 6.5 months ! (two battery failure issues). Mine purchased on a business lease from Porsche Leicester and financed through VW Finance. Porsche...
Hi , I paid £475 for my son To go and have the same experience in his own car of choice including breakfast and lunch. I had a Taycan , he chose a 911 and we swapped cars at coffee break.
I voted maybe. The car is amazing ( when it is on the road !). Unfortunately I have had multiple occurrences of the red ring main battery failure. My vehicle ( 22 model) has been off the road with this issue for 6 months (17 month old vehicle). Not a great experience by a long way but still...
it is a main battery failure, rwd
ring around the right hand instrument cluster. basically dead cells in the main battery pack. delays were no skilled technicians to do the repair, parts delays and no equipment to do the repair. there are many articles on this forum regarding main battery...
Sorry to hear of your issues . I think I may have a worse scenario unfortunately. My 22 Taycan has been off the road for 6 months and counting ! So I make that around 180 days !! Red ring of death twice with a 5 week gap between the two instances. Not impressed at all although I still love...
Wish I had the same experience with my 22 model. It is 17 months old and has been in the dealer nearly 6 months of those 17 months. 4.5 months for the first red ring of death then had it back 5 weeks and same failure. Been at the dealer since early April and won’t get into the workshop for...
Hi, I have been having a nightmare with my 2002 Taycan. Red ring of death on October 1st 2023, every excuse under the sun from the dealer, no one trained to look at my car, no parts available, no equipment to do the repair. Took 4.5 months !!! To get my car back. Got it back mid Feb...
In the UK there are so many Taycans with battery issues they haven’t enough loaner Porsches to go around so you get a vehicle through enterprise rentals. This is ok for a few days but when your car is off the road for 4.5 months as mine was, it’s totally unacceptable !!
Yes they do. My 2002 Taycan was off the road with the battery failure red ring on the dash for 4.5 months, had it back for 5 weeks and same problem has occurred again !! So for a 17 month old car it has been off the road for nearly 5 months !! Not happy at all !! Porsche finance and Porsche...
Well, had my 2022 Taycan back for 5 weeks since being off the road with the dreaded red electrical fault, 4
And a half month in the dealership with all sorts of excuses as to why it was taking that long and guess what ?? This morning dreaded red electrical fault again !!! Porsche / AA have...
Hi, mine wasn’t a recall but I had a battery failure on October 1st and mine is still at the dealer ! 4 and a half months !! It is now in the workshop and hopefully I will get it back next week !! All I will say is push hard for compensation !!
Hi
I had the same problem back on 1 October and my car is still at the dealer with no promise date of a fix !! I have had various excuses from no one trained to fix it to we don’t have the right kit and parts etc. I got given a basic Tiguan through enterprise and kicked off and have had a BMW...
Hope you get sorted quickly. I had similar error back on October 1st in the Uk. My Taycan is still at the dealer and as yet still no date for a fix !! Now into week 14 !!!!
Hi all, new to this forum too ! My 2022 Taycan has been at the dealer now for 13 weeks with the dreaded electrical fault and totally dead vehicle. I keep getting mixed messages and dates from the dealer in the uk. Started with “it has dead cells” to “ we need to wait for equipment from...
