Porsche Cayenne years to avoid

Too few Porsche Cayenne model years have a complete complaint window to rank them: 4 of the 5 needed.

The ranking uses owner complaints in each model year's first years on the road, adjusted for NHTSA's complaint volume for that model year. It is not adjusted for sales and is not a reliability rating. Method
