A few people....

How many would it take to impress you that it is real? 4 in the same car? 10+ a week? Those are real figures. Does it mean every car will fail...not by a long shot. But absolute denial is no more the reality than the sky is falling.

You didn't hear about it for a while because Porsche was taking care of things via an engine swap to keep the lid on what was really happening. Then all you heard about were failures because no one was pulling the engines apart and analyzing them and then talking. And because the price or repair or replacement was now so amazingly high relative to the value of the car in the used car market that people spoke up about it. (My Chrysler long block replacement cost $1800 parts and labor)

Then some folks did and they got accused of being promoters and profiteers...by the same few people. I prefer to think that, without them, we'd be less knowledgeable and have less options. Thanks Charles, Ed, Jake.

Endless reports and threads online, sure. People have a problem or hear of it and don't use the search capability so it shows up as a new and repetitive thread.

(no financial connection to any repair procedure or business or car manufacturer)
