from the nhtsa bulletin: The condition happens in reverse too, and can be disconcerting.

would seem like an odd advert....."Drive a Porsche...a disconcerting experience"

Has this skip/bump/pop been an issue in anyones ‘23?

This doesn’t happen in our ME 4-matic or the Acura SH-AWD. This Ackerman effect doesn’t sound like something I want to deal with. Dealer visits and manufacturer investigations just aren’t my cup or tea.

I have had this happen a bit more recently... it definitely feels weird, like I'm not in 100% control of the car as it happens. Has anybody heard of a wreck occurring because of it?

Curious your mileage? I haven’t felt this issue for a long time, I am now at 6,000 miles on my 22GTS and haven’t felt it since mid summer.

I'm at about 4000 miles on my '22 base. I am wondering if it is because temps have fallen (my tire pressure monitor is tracking about 2 psi lower than during summer). I would take it in and have it checked, but it seems there is no solution so not sure if there is a point.

I got rid of a 2022 GTS because the problem was so bad I couldn't deal with it before this service bulletin from Porsche came out. I have a new 2023 S with 1,500 miles that has a 'slight' jolt problem similar to the 2022 when I turn into a parking space with a full wheel turn at slow speed so this is obviously still an issue. I can live with it on the new car because it has only happened a couple of times but it's still not acceptable IMHO.

Hello. My car is a Macan S 3.0 2015. When starting at low speed with the steering wheel turned to the right, vibrations are felt. Stronger when turning right. While driving there is no problem, as well as when maneuvering behind. I would appreciate your advice and opinions on the problem.

Transfer case problem?

 

[Svetoslav Kostov]

I hope it's not the transfer case, but it's more like that. is there any other test besides the one with disconnecting the management of the transfer case? I’m still 21” summer tyres and garage inside temperature is around 10 degrees. Is it possible this to be some factor?

 

[AMARINE]

Yup samething happening in my 22 Macan base which has 19 inch tires (225/55/19 & 255/50/19). It's not ackerman effect.

Hopefully Porsche fixes this problem soon

Call it what you will, it's related to the front steering geometry and exacerbated by summer rubber.

Why do you think it is not the Ackerman effect? My suspicion is that there is a trade off in the steering geometry between low speed, very tight turns and high-speed turns with a longer turning radius. While other manufacturers might try to find a happy medium between the two, Porsche might be heavily favoring the handling aspects of high-speed turn radiuses (radii?).

 

[muncie]

ICE Macan will be dead and the new version rides on new platform (PPE) so Porsche won't ever be fixing this problem. As a side note, I have never experienced it in my Macan but did in my GLC 63 so I feel the frustration.

For me, every tire replacement has been the same, oem summers and I became accustomed to the front end hop and harsh ride.

Fast forward, I now have Scorpion Verde all-seasons and it has been night and day. These tires offer a better ride and the front end hop is almost not noticeable.
The thing about summer tires is that the compound becomes hard.

 

[mfgroove27]

Yes



I noticed the same symptoms you are expressing when I installed 21” Sport Classics with Michelin PS4 tires. Prior to installing this tire combo I had 19” Turbos with Michelin Latitude all season tires and never noticed this. This may be tied to stiffer sidewalls on the 21” versus the 19” tires but you can definitely feel a slight jerk in the wheel and not necessarily at a high speed. I would say it’s almost a skip in traction.

Just purchased a 2020 base model with 21” and had this experience accelerating hard out of a tight turn.

If the wheel is cranked hard 21” side walls are so stiff they do not give thus the feeling. I notice this most backing out of my driveway. Moving forward I have not really noticed this unles maybe skipping on some loose pavement, gravel etc. you must have the wheel cranked hard and if so I would expect this to happen.
I switched between the 19” and 21” tires several times and this is inherent to low profile tires. It does hurt anything other than being annoying.

 

[Beardy]

I have 21 inch rims and a gravel driveway with a hairpin bend and you can see the scallops in the drive from the Macan on the inside line.
I have always just considered it to be normal

It's interesting you say this because just recently I experienced this same exact binding/slight clunk only while backing out of my driveway on cold mornings with Summer rubber and the wheel cranked to the right. It has only occurred a couple of times just this year, and has only happened while backing out of my driveway on cold mornings....never while driving forward, and my GTS only has 10,000 miles on it.

Normally by this time of year I would have already swapped out the Summer rubber for my Winter wheel set (same 20" sized Porsche Spyder wheels with OEM Scorpion Verde A/S tires), but since I'll be trading in my 2020 GTS next week hopefully, and since the snow up my way has held off so far, I didn't bother switching over to the Winters.

I've never felt/heard this clunk when the weather was warm on my Summer tires, nor have I experienced it in the past with my A/S tires in the colder weather.

Hello. After inspection in local car service. As per the mechanic the vibrations of my car is caused from damage engine mounts. They suggested to replaced. The delivery of OEM Engine mounts is 10 days, that’s why I will wait until after new year.
Anyone to have experience with problems with engine mounts.
From several days time to time, when I stop on traffic light vibrations appear, but if I put on Park position vibrations stopped.
Some guesses! Thank tou

Hello, my case was solved by engine mounts replacing. The both were damaged.
