Default Problems with 2nd Generation Cayenne

I have 31k miles on my 2011 CS, and no problems to speak of. (Doing about 25k miles/year)

Wondering if anyone, especially with higher miles, has encountered anything worth attending to as I head toward the latter half of the warrantied mileage threshold (50K).

These things are bullet proof. Reports of excessive oil consumption and PCM vagaries have been traced to drama queens and whiners.

I know of one person that claimed something like 17,000k miles (17,000,000 miles) and still complained about oil loss.

Aside from being an oiloholic, a PCM replacement, the headlight recall, one instance of low coolant, at least 3 flat tires, a scratch by someone anonymous (sending you a ray of week-long diarrhea, whoever you are) and not being able to catch up with V6s, the P!G has been bullet proof

PS. Closing in on 18,000,000 miles.

PPS. Ok, joking aside, I did catch up with you 31.9
