If this scenario is not a safety concern, I don't know what is???.
Know of any actual examples where an IMS failure has caused a death or serious injury. If not, then Sisyphus would stand a better chance of getting his boulder to stay the top of the hill than people would in getting the Feds to issue an IMS recall.

Dunno, Porsche's lawyers have those stats locked up in a proprietary dBase. But I would ask the jury if anyone disagreeing would raise their hands and mind being a Guinea pig for statistics sake and I betcha they'll be no takers. I just hope and pray I'm not in the 10% while I keep driving my 986 until I get the fix.
