Very very minor vibration of the steering wheel around 65 - 70 MPH is a characteristic of Cayennes told by Porsche (Porsche regional representative -> My dealer service adviser -> Me). I found that the vibration usually more pronounce (but still very minor) in the cold morning road surface and cold tires. After tires warming, the vibration goes away. Look into the bright side of it, the Cayenne is a Porsche which is a sport car. Better road response from road to the steering wheel is the design philosophy of a Porsche. Overall, I am very happy with my C-S.

I am wondering what is the tell tale sign of cardan shaft problems??? Is it a violent, consistent vibration that never goes away??? My issue is usually when first driven, but seems to go away...

Mine is in the shop now for the vibes that start at 73 mph and goes away at close to 80.
It started at 9,000 mi (now at 11K). The inside of my pass. side tire was worn thru the first belt & a 2" wear pattern of layer below belt. I couldn'y see it.
My service dealer Carlsen in Palo Alto responded with - you need to buy new tires. I argued it was not the front end vib (it was the console tingle).
I told them I wasn't picking up the car, they could keep it. I don't think they understood that they could really keep it - I was going to count the days for lemon law & use a safety regarded issue as a reason to return the car.
I understand that PAG is no longer replacing Cardan shafts. Their current fix is a differential joint. We'll see if they have as much success as they had with their RMS fixes.
Good luck.
