On two occasions when I started my base Cayenne, a warning message appeared stating "PAS not activated service required." That warning is accompanied by another message "ACC not activated," and I cannot use my cruise control. These messages have disappeared when I restarted the vehicle. Also my fuel cap has stopped clicking and will need to be replaced. Has anyone else had these issues or know what might be causing the warning messages?

The dealer showed me a notice from Porsche that the PAS/ACC issue is known by them and that it is a software issue for which they have no solution yet. A diagnostic check at the dealer showed no problems and that all of my software was up to date. The worst case scenario is that the ACC may not work, and the automatic collision avoidance system may not work. Not very reassuring for an upscale vehicle. The fuel cap self corrected.
Sorry, but I suspect these will be easily resolved with a service call.
I like your thread. With the new Cayenne models beginning to arrive in larger numbers this would be a great place to keep track of issues. As the cars become more and more "electronic" I would expect to see lots of electronic bugs like the one you described. Meticulous "hands-on" Quality Control is great for the physical issues but struggles seeing bugs in software.
Thanks for your post!
My fuel cap takes a few clicks to close as well.
I've seen twice PAC disabled due to dirty sensor error, but restarting the car solves it.
After my wife uses her key and adjusts seating positions, when I enter the car with my key fob, the seats not restored to my memory position automatically, I have to press the memory key.
When I go over bumps, sometime the front wiper or front screen fan will be engaged.
These are minor issues and most of them can be easily fixed or updated with software.
Black Base with most options and 21 inch wheels. 5 weeks and 750 miles and now have a number of issues to add to the running list.
1.Recall WJ60 to update PCM
Recall WJ85 - Retrofit connecting plate on rear brake caliper
Bluetooth drops to iPhone X often. Apple CarPlay and Phone USB works better than bluetooth
PCM - a warning message appeared stating "PAS not activated service required." That warning is accompanied by another message "ACC not activated," and I cannot use my cruise control. Restart clears it but has happened 4 or 5 times
Hard Acceleration Gurgle
Reverse Gear sudden acceleration
NAV/Map being able to put in Different State using regular NAV issue
Haze when using wipers at Night after hard clean of windscreen
Dirt under rear hatch (no seal)/ Dirt under side doors (same lack of seal issue)
Black plastic trim seems to look like it is spotting (not uniform coloring)
Rear Wiper assembly issue
Condensation in Headlights and Taillights after rain or washing of car
Dirt under rear hatch (no seal)/ Dirt under side doors (same lack of seal issue)
Looks like a lot of issues. Hope they fix all of the issues shortly. Is the lack of seal issue specific to your car or a design flaw? I mean, if the seal not designed to be there at all or is it just not working as supposed on your car? The previous gen cayenne had very good seals.
Will post pictures of the dirt issues when I get a chance. Important to stress not an interior penetration issue just onto the underlying facings. More sloppy design than anything else. All of the issues I listed have been reported in other places on this list serve by other new owners, I just put the list together in one place. Some of the other pics of the issues are below on the PCM warnings (#3) and condensation in lighting bars and headlights (#11)
Do the recalls apply to all 2019 base Cayennes? I have not received any recall notices. If you want to get rid of the haze which is usually caused by road grime, wiper residue or automatic car wash, I recommend Diamond Fast Powder which is a very mild glass polish. It also removes mild scratches. It’s very easy to use. You spray a little water on the windshield and then put some of the polish powder on a damp sponge or microfiber towel and apply it to the windshield to creat a slurry. Wipe it off with paper towels and then some windex. I use it on all of my cars every 4 months. You will be amazed at the clarity of the glass. It’s about $20 for 10 ounce jar that should last for many years. The phone # is 800-441-4527 www.gtglass.com
I was just told by my dealer in Colorado that the condensation is common on the new LED lights because they cannot be completely air tight to function properly.
I'd like to add one which is assignment of the diamond button sometimes gets reset to nothing.
another related issue is that there are cases where the diamond button is working as it should, but when checking the settings menu it is showing that the button is not yet assigned.

I've been told by my dealer that the displayed resetting of the assignment of the diamond button you describe is "normal" - in quotes because while what you describe doesn't logically seem like the way things should work, this is how the cars work. The PCM display in my car also "forgets" the assigned function of the diamond button, even though the diamond button still actually performs the function as it was assigned. When my car was in for service recently, I told service about this and several other PCM bugs I had discovered, and service told me this is how all the cars work. And indeed, I did sit in other 2019s on my dealer's lot and all the cars worked this way.
