I noticed that my wife 2020 cayenne started vibrating while driving as if the tires are out of balance .
took it to the tire shop and they informed that the belts in front tires are separating badly and rear tires are as well although not as bad as fronts . He advise her not to drive the vehicle because the front tires were unsafe . 21,000 miles
has anyone had this issue ?

Reason: Additional
All four seem strange. I’m no expert but it might have been caused by something other than a manufacturer defect. You might Google the tire to see if anything shows up for know defects…very rare today on a performance tire, much less all 4 tires. Improper flat repair, tire damage (i.e. pothole, curb, etc), excessive wear, running low pressure are other possibilities. What does the tire shop have to say? My guess would be 1. under inflation or 2. tire damage!
Edit: One more possibility if you happen to have performance summer rated tires-search “tread compound cracking” a condition that occurs on non All Seasons/Winter performance tires in freezing temps.
Absolutely no tire under inflation I check them regularly.
I did google lots of talk tread separation issues. I don’t dealer sending rollback to take it in. I bought a wheel / tire damage policy we shall see.

Do you happen to have summer tires? I added an edit for Tread Compound Cracking if you do….
What brand and model and where do you live (temps)? What model Cayenne? There are only a few tire variations from the factory, would be good to know more details in case others have the same symptoms.

Good thing you have the wheel and tire protection, that should get you a new set. Another story that is leading me to get the protection when I pick up my coupe this summer
Scorpion Verde, you say? Aha! That’s the problem. Here’s an excerpt from my post in THIS THREAD where other Rennlisters suffered tread separation on their Scorpion Verdes:
There have been several complains of Scorpion Verde tread separations as documented here:
Another interesting find: All Pirelli light truck tires are covered by a tread wear warranty except one — Scorpion Verde All Season. The plot thickens! Do these tires suck? When replacing these, consider getting the “Plus” version which is covered with a 65K mile tread wear warranty. Note: Since these were original equipment, they should be covered by warranty. Replacement tires will not be covered by tread wear warranty. * All Scorpion Verde All Season Replacement Tires produced on or after January 1, 2014 are not eligible for Treadwear Coverage. https://www.tirerack.com/images/pdf/warranty/PI0219.pdf
Replaced both rear tires on my own dime. Dealer wasn’t willing to go through the process of doing a warranty with Pirelli (I don’t have wheel and tire insurance)
