Purchased 2017 dealer CPO Pano with 5k mi.a year ago. Now at 22k mi yellow fault "reverse gear inactive". Thankfully, the other gears were functional. First time at they reprogrammed/ calibrated the unit. Tried to trip fault for 2 days with no success. Had it home 2 days, the reverse gear inactive fault. Back at dealer. In order for Atlanta to approve replacing the valve body(which is being shipped from Germany) they had to confirm two faults. Will take at least 10 days for installation and validation that issue is corrected. I have never owned a Porsche that was not a Certified Pre Owned. This is our first and last Panamera. Our go to sedan was a Lexus GS. Always had a 911's and currently own 18 Cayman GTS. "Great vehicle. My wife loves the Panamera.. I'm a disappointed in a 100k vehicle would have a transmission issue at 22k mi. .Dealer has been excellent.

to quote a great philosopher "$hit happens"

even $100k+ cars can have issues, anything made by a human can have issues, no matter how much it cost......

Sorry for your issues

I agree. You had some bad luck but it can strike anybody and with any marque. The good side of this is that the dealer has made a definitive diagnosis and has a fix. It beats the indefinite which is all too common with some issues. I'd not hold it against the car for this one issue. If it's one of many to come, then, I suppose, time to re-assess.
