RMS or IMS Class Action Suit?

[spine911]

IMO, Its due time that EVERYONE from this site(and other P sites) should unite and get our concerns to Porsche NA. This IMS/RMS issue is well documented, Porsche should at LEAST have an engine replacement cost "discount" program in place for owners who had an engine failure due to an IMS Failure.

I gather that the frequency of RMS leaks seems to be pretty high. Could it be as high as 20% of all boxsters?

Does anybody have any data (rough of course) on frequency of IMS failure? I'm assuming that it is very low.

I just replaced my RMS while I was doing a clutch, and it was just starting to seep a bit of oil. The IMS failures seem to be fairly rare.

At the end of the day, unfortunately, class action suits only benefit the attorneys who file them (i.e. the $10 million settlement across 1 million claimants, everyone gets $10 and the attorneys get $5 million).

I've always had the impression that RMS problems were largely (totally?) confined to the earlier model Boxsters (say pre-2000). Is that true? I have an '01 S; am I likely in the clear? The IMS problem is a new one to me (not that I am currently having that problem in my car---I just hadn't heard about it before viewing recent New Posts.) Does that tend to affect certain years?

Frodo,

As I understand it, the RMS can strike all boxsters, not just pre 2000. Correct my if I am wrong, but RMS usually shows its ugly head before 25K miles - if you pass thta mark you are probably in the clear.

As or IMS failure, I gather it can strike any year at any time. Scary!

I'm in!

Oops... I forgot...I've had neither an RMS or IMS issue as of yet on my 01.

I do agree that it seems that there have been numerous such issues I've read about on these forums though. I think Porsche should at least have a policy of making good on either issue if they come up.

I've seen similar sounding threads on Rennlist and Pelican. I don't think anything came from it though.
