I am creating this Thread to gather input from fellow owners who's claims have been rejected. I want to determine whether there is sufficient interest to pursue a lawsuit against PCNA for vehicles that have had the IMS failure outside the arbitrary 10 yr period.

I don't know the specifics of the class action claim, but if it's an opt out type of action, you are bound by the terms of the settlement unless you filed an opt out. Best case scenario for you is you can still file an individual action against Porsche, but that will cost you tens, if not hundreds of thousands in attorneys fees to bring your claim.

there was an an appeal filled... settlement wad deemed "fair" but excluded 2001, 2002, and 2003 MY because over the ten year clause. So really only included a subset of 2004 and 2005... and then only for new (original owner) or ACPO cars.

I have a 2003 MY with a 2008 replacement engine...so who knows where I would fit.
