Weird Smoke and Burning Smell from Air Vents in My Macan 4 – Anyone Else?

[piter95]

Did another 500km yesterday on a highway and couldn't detect any smoke or burning smells. Wonder if I should notify the local service center or wait for a repetitive issue?!

While driving, did you have the clima ON? I think it may be related to it… I noticed it when it was set to 25 degrees Celsius at any speed.

I believe that if you stop by your dealer they may not know what to tell you. I wouldn’t feel safe anyway to drive a car that does smoke and smells of burn… especially it’s an electric car…

They couldn't find anything wrong. They said is most likely the AC due to high temperature. I doubt it's that but I hope they are right.

I hoped so, but if would be that… why they would have kept my car at Porsche Factory for 2 months already?

I have the final update. Open your hears guys!

I’m not going to have back my car. Instead I have been proposing to switch it to a different model, even non electric one.

“A component is missing due to lack of raw materials and will take months before your car will be repaired”… a super bullshit that will basically cover the fact that there is a defective component that MUST be rebuilt from scratch.

Now I’m pretty mad… I can’t get my money back and I don’t want to spend min 20K more to buy a Cayenne or whatever else…

Thanks for your feedback!

This sounds like a major issue to me. If it would have been something non critical (like a problem with aircon), I assume they would've given you the car back and just let you wait for the new part to be available. Sounds like a potential recall.
