Default SURVEY: Panamera 971 Vibration

Numerous Panamera 971 owners have reported experiencing vibrations at highway speeds, particularly around 57mph. If you're facing this issue, you can find more details and join the discussion in the "CPO issues, what to do?" thread on Rennlist: https://rennlist.com/forums/panamera...hat-to-do.html

The vibration or oscillation doesn't appear to be related to tires or wheels. Instead, it's most noticeable in the floor and seat, rather than in the steering wheel or brake pedal. This problem seems to primarily affect the 4WD models and is intermittent, varying depending on road conditions and the distance the vehicle has been driven.

To gather more information about this issue and understand how widespread it is, owners are encouraged to share their experiences by responding with the following details:
• Year of your Panamera
• Model of your Panamera
• Mileage and age of the vehicle when you first noticed the vibration
• Any additional descriptions or comments regarding your specific experience with the vibration issue.

Hopefully by sharing this information, we can work together to find a solution to this issue which is a plague to an otherwise excellent Porsche.

RWD might have to do with it.

we have a Panamera 4S Exec coming, 2022 with 11k miles. bought from out of state, so couldn't test drive. need someone to make me feel good about my decision lol reading the other thread about vibrations has me worried. our 2016 cayenne base used to have the same damn thing, but our 2019 and 2021 cayennes have been great thus far

Our 2023 Cayenne is the definition of 'serenity now'. The Pana weighs 4050 lbs., 600 lbs. less than the Cayenne, and so has less cushy ride to be sure, but the Pana does not vibrate. One reason we stayed with RWD. That, and this article:

i can understand that this is hugely annoying to those who have the problem but is this 1%, 10%, or 0.1%?

This question is among the many we anticipate the survey data will aid in answering, and hopefully assist in finding a solution.
Thank you for your participation!
It's nice to see
members who aren't experiencing this problem taking time to answer the survey simply to help those who are.

i had ad 2017 4s that had vibration in the 50s MPH. it ended up being the tires had a liner inside the rim/tire for sound deadening that had come loose and would roll around at these speeds.
