My name is Matt Robbins and i have read a ton of engine failures on boxsters no matter what the year. I have a 2000 boxster 2.7 and the engine was replaced at 43k miles. Now im at the second 45k miles (almost at 90k miles total) and i now have an oil leak in the intermediate shaft seal. Not only that but the engine sounds like metal blocks banging around. It is at my local dealership becuase it needs a new alternator but right before it died the rough idles already started. I told them about this but they said the alternator needed replacing before they could look at anything else. Which is b.s. cause they can use a jump box to keep the battery charging if they need to run it, but whatever thats not why im here. I am assuming hte obvious and worst and the engine is more than likely needing a SECOND replacement. As i have read Porsche of America is not doing a damn thing to fix this. So i need your help.

I am asking for anyone who has ever the engine replaced, warranty or not, to please send me an email explaining about your engine replacement The cause, whether or not you paid for it, how many times, etc. I am going to make a case of this and try to force this problem as a recall. They obviously need to redesign their engine and get away from this FLAT engine design. I personally do not think the vehicle should continue to be in production if we are going to have to dish out half the price of the vehicle to have the engine repalced everytime. Porsche of America needs to cover at least 75% of this or all of it. It was built to fall apart and seems to be more of a scam! So if you could please help me out, i am going to create a list (sort of a petition) gather more information and take this to them and get the ball rolling. Might take a while to get this done but i think its time Porsche get their ass chewed by EVERYONE at the same time and not just one person. Numbers are key to winning a battle! So please help if you dont mind.
