There are 3 owner-reported powertrain & transmission complaints for the 2017 Porsche Macanin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
I was sold a vehicle with the incorrect front brakes, an open recall on airbag and bad transfer case all looked at and confirmed by a dealer .
When reversing the transfer case has failed causing it to lurch uncontrollably. also when driving at slow speeds in first gear it stumbles causing erratic driving. This has failed on a number of cars and the extended warranty is not long enough to cover cars that are always failing
Porsche Macan has known transfer case problem. Should be recalled. I have a 2017 Macan with 15,000 miles and transfer case bad.
