Hi, I m just another 2002 Boxster S guy with the usual IMS failure. Located in Newport beach, california. It happened a few days ago. I m currently trying to resolve the situation with Western General (an extended warranty company). Hopefully they ll pay part (or all) of the repairs and engine replacement. If not, I will have spent 2200 dollars to have the engine disassembled for nothing. In case you are wondering: this is what western general requires me to do. Then they send someone to the dealership to take some photos of the parts and after a few days =decide whether they ll want to pay or not... I seriously hope I m not going to have to write an angry/dissapointed entry next week. I know I have taken good care of the car. Had it serviced regularly (at the dealership) and never pushed it hard. I ve driven and owned other (cheaper) cars before for longer and never had an engine fail on me like this! Irrespective of what happens with the warranty company, I have to say I m extremely disappointed with Porsche! Like other guys here, I expected a certain quality standard. And I know other manufacturers (like BMW) would have taken steps to resolve what appears to be a serious design or manufacturing flaw! I m also wondering how many people there are in my situation? I know there are a couple in this thread alone. I mean, is it worth gathering a few signatures and preparing a class action suit? Under some conditions I believe you are entitled to compensation even if you 've already (wrongfully) paid for it in the past. Maybe something like that and a consistent spamming of various enthusiast car websites/magazines would wake Porsche up! I know the Boxster model is their cheapest one, but noone deserves this!
