Even if Porsche knows about a defective part, it is under no obligation to inform the public of it, unless it is safety related. How can Porsche know haw the car was driven by the first owner? Was all maintenance performed by an authorized service department?
I think an individual lawsuit by a second owner is irresponsible and frivolous. As a class action suit it serves no one but the lawyers. This attitude that I should be protected for every decision I make or anything that happens to me is what's wrong with the country. Its slowly squeezing our freedoms down to nothing.

amen to that. i do think the issues with early engine losses (20k on a car that's 5yrs old) WOULD have warrented some kind of action had porsche not stepped up to the plate. as it were, they examined these on a case by case basis, and where it was clearly a design issue, they replaced the engines in good faith.
a second hand owner with an out of warranty car is a fool to sue; **************** happens.
