There are 3 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2019 Porsche Cayennein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Seals around both headlights appear to be improperly/weakly sealed. Water intrusion is coming in from light rain or even a car wash causing entire headlight system to shut off until the moisture dries up often while driving. This vehicle has matrix adaptive led headlights and there is no self service bulb to replace since they’re leds. Local Porsche dealer service advisors appear to know this is a common issue but state Porsche has yet to do a recall and they have no fix option and only offer to sell me a full headlight assembly replacement.

MATRIX HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK, AT ALL. NIGHTTIME DRIVING IS DANGEROUS WITHOUT THESE HEADLIGHTS.
