Tiptronic dies

Hello all,

Well this is my first post and not a good one.

I purchased a 97 boxster fitted with a tiptronic tranny and after 6 weeks of ownership it started slipping when it reached operating temp, it would also stall the motor when stopped at lights.
I returned it to the dealership as it was still under warranty and the news today you ask ?

$ 18,000 for a replacement transmission !!! wow ( lucky for warranty)

The vehicle has done 60,000 km with all the services performed as per specs and logged.

I spoke with the porsche agent and he said it was the third one they had done with such low k's.

I love the car but im now concerned of future repercussions..

Any thoughts or similar probs guys and girls ???
