What are some of the porsche panamera hybrid problems?

The Porsche Panamera Hybrid, although engineered to save fuel and the environment, has been plagued by operative issues and charging malfunctions out of the gate. Owners of new Panamera Hybrids complain of repeat visits to the dealership under warranty to correct a lack of charging, stalling and limp mode activation while being driven. One owner recorded 7 visits for Hybrid related repairs in 5 months. Others report an unusual accumulation of soot in the exhaust manifold at under 20,000 miles. The required manifold cleaning involves a costly procedure that can only be performed by the dealer. Issues may be related to the motor used in the Hybrid. The same motor is employed in the Audi V6 and owners of both struggle with excessive carbon build up in the system, usually at under 40,000 miles or less, sometimes causing complete engine failure.
