Lots of electronic gremlins in the last couple of weeks

So several things have been going on recently with the cayenne,

1. my PCM has been shutting off for no reason and then re starting while driving around (having PCM replaced tomorrow at dealer)

2. Occasionally when I start car and put it into drive it will seize up and a green 'hold' light will come on and I have to shift back into park and then drive again to move

3. When starting the car both my coolant and oil temperature gauges will immediately shoot to max and the dash screen will blink warnings for both (sometimes this goes away on its own other times re starting takes care of it)

4. My oil level screen on the dash the shows the little picture of the oil level almost never works anymore and I get the 'car needs to be driven for oil info to be displayed' message for even long drives.

I'm going to let the dealer know about all of this stuff tomorrow but has anyone experienced similar problems? I hope it's something diagnosible like a malfunctioning ECM

I have not seen these problems on my 2012 CTT. Have you contacted your dealer yet? Please keep us posted.

So received a new PCM, they said the oil and coolant problems are just malfunctioning sensors and they'll have new ones Friday as for the 'hold' during start up the tech said that the hill decent sensor will get set off if the car is even a couple of degrees off from flat so the parking lot I'm in May be the problem

yeah I noticed the hold is sensitive on mine as well. Sometime it would engage after backing down from a slope to a flat surface.

I have never even had a cel or any other electronic problem..besides the inability of my Burmester to play the DVD Audio of the Doors "LA Woman"
I just would love to hear "Riders on the storm"..
Anywhoo,If that's the only problem I have or will have..can't really complain
I never cease to be amazed by the flawless performance of my CT so far
Good luck and keep us updated
