$11.80? wow; Mobil 1 0-40 is $6.50 at Walmart. I changed my own.

 

Stevens Creek Porsche, which is only 5 min drive from my house.

 

Dropped my car off after repeated issues with the Easy Entry and Drive (Key not recognized) and also fault of the engine control or something along those lines. Dropped it off yesterday morning and I am hoping I get it back tomorrow. They stuck me in an entry boxster and I wasn't too pleased about it but it's better than the corolla they initially wanted to give me.

Apparently my dealership doesn't give our porsche's for service related issues.

 

My dealer also read the "key not recognized" messages from the onboard diagnostics, and checked everything and could not find any fault. Their advice is, "do not put the key next to the center console as it might interfere". Of course I always kept the key in my pocket. Oh well...

 

A Boxster is a decent loaner. I had a Cayenne Hybrid when my 991 was in for recall work.

 

my keyless entry and some electrical issues and my car has been in to service for more than 3 times. even after replacing ecu, sensors, wiring harness PCNA and the factory still can't figure out what's wrong. could this be a lemon?

 

tachyon-- Maybe. If it continues, it is likely to come down to how much it bothers you. My experience with BMW and P is that for non-safety, non it-just-doesn't-work-at-all problems if they can't fix it (or blame it on driver "abuse") they will just want you to go away (to see if you really will go after them legally). IF this is a big enough issue for you continue to take it in every time there is an issue, make them give you back a service sheet each time, keep your own record of each visit and what the (repeat) problem is. When it gets well past the lemon law frequency or number of different items as determined by law start after them with the lemon discussion, they have diminished the economic value of the car by not fixing the issue but leaving a trail of open issue documentation, etc. Good luck, these sporadic electrical issues can be a real nuisance.

 

The lemon law is a life saver:
1. Document the three times that the dealership tried to fix the same problem
2. See the warranty book to see how to start a case with an arbitrator (don't take it to court first).

Great Advice, and what a life saver that law is...


In an attempt to appease domestic auto manufacturers, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stopped issuing a press release for each automotive safety recall in 1981 (WallStreet Journal, August 24, 1981). This policy change has potential harmful affects on public access torecall information since press releases serve as the primary source of recall information for newspapers1.
