Problem overview

Some Porsche Macan owners report experiencing power steering failure due to various issues such as low power steering fluid, a failing power steering pump, mechanical problems with the steering rack, tire conditions, or faults in the electrical system. These drivers have encountered error messages like "Loss of Power Steering Support" or "Loss of Steering Support, Increased Effort" when facing power steering problems. In certain instances, power steering failure has also disabled features like "Start/Stop Operation." Additionally, while the steering mechanics are consistent across the Macan range, some owners note that power steering weighting is a software enhancement that may incur extra costs in regions like the UK. To resolve these power steering issues, some drivers have had to replace the steering rack to address steering control unit problems. It is crucial for owners to address these concerns promptly to ensure the safety and functionality of their vehicles.
