IMS failure 2005 Boxster 44,352 miles


Recommended Posts

I live in Seattle washington and bought a used 2005 Boxster with 33,000 miles on it and it failed at a stop light while not moving and destroyed itself. Intermediate Shaft failure..the engine was frozen up. New reman costs 18K to redo. Car is worth 21K. Am looking to start a class action suite against Porsche. Anyone who is affected please call me I have a very good class action attorney.

Sorry for your loss. :o I've got an '03 Boxster S with about 23,000 miles; everything fine so far, but I'll be watching this thread. I know another fellow that had a failure around 40k miles......Keep us posted.

What can you tell us about how the car was driven or maintained?

I've heard Porsche has been replacing engines with IMS issues with 2005's even out of warranty.

Check with your dealership.

I have a 2004 Boxster S with 74,000 miles on it which just had IMS failure. I am the original owner and have had all maintenance performed on schedule. Porsche so far is unwilling to share in the cost to replace the engine (quoted at $17,000). Any advice on where to go or how to handle?

You can get it rebuilt for much less than a new engine. Porsche will not pay for a new engine so you can forget about that. If you were in So Call I can recommend a a couple places that are great. Sorry to hear about your plight... I have been there....:censored:

There are quite a few folks here from Northern CA that should be able to point you in the right direction.
