Porsche transmission problems

Owners have filed 323 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Porsche vehicles — 12% of everything reported about the brand, across 30 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Porsche Cayenne, worst in 2014.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
