2005 Porsche Carrera Engine Failure
#17
i would not defend Porsche on IMS related failures. It is obvious they have highly inconsistent reaction to dealing with such stuff - some people apparently get engine replacement covered, even if car is off warranty, other people get forced to pay 100% plus install charges, some get some 'discount' or forced to pay for install labor but not engine itself, it is pretty bad.
but i do not think there is any ground for litigation here.

Check out issue 69 of Total 911 magazine (may still be on newstands in U.S.) - talks all about this issue - they project the IMS issue affects only 5% (at most 10%) of the models/year range with the M96/7 engines. Most cars that have the issue are driven at low RPMs and are low mileage cars, but there's no foolproof way to predict or categorize which cars will be affected.

Doesn't seem to fit the low milage theory.

He hasnt replied to any of the questions. Did you have the car serviced regulary? Did you contact the service manager and request Porsche look at the engine before you agreed to pay out of pocket? What is the actual story behind the car? Are you the original owner? Did you purchase from the dealer or private party? How many miles were on the engine when the IMS failed?
We have many questions before we can make any suggestions regarding your matter.

A good lawyer might have a case.

Thats not entirely true. There have been postings where engine failure outside of warranty has been fixed by Porsche. Some had to pay labor, some had the whole tab picked up.

2005 Carrera S Engine Failure
My '05, 22,700 miles, perfect maintenance records by the dealer, etc. had intermediate shaft failure. Anyone in Orange County, CA recommend a mechanic to make the repair/rebuild the engine?

OP is probably gone but there's an extensive poll which is ongoing on www.rennlist.com in the 997 section.
Its hovering around 5% of owners who are actually on the forum. Mileage and other details are also being provided.
I just don't know how a luxury car brand such as Porsche who touts their engineering to be something special would let this continue in their cars. Money is the obvious one...who gives a S%*t about reputation....LOL.

Given that people are getting $1.55 class settlements for Ticketmaster and $.05 for Ebay, you'd think there would be a viable class if these things were happening in numbers that are alarming. Right?
