I'm sorry this happened to you especially given you're just outside the 10 year limit. My car is also outside the 10 year window and for that reason, I am sending a letter to the court that objects to the settlement. I hope others send similar letters.

My view is that owners have a reasonable expectation that these engines will last for more than 200,000 miles without experiencing a catastrophic IMS engine failure. And because I believe that Porsche sold knowingly sold these cars with a IMS design defect, I argue that the court should only approve a settlement based only on actual mileage, i.e., without a time limit. Pick a number somewhere north of 150,000 miles and I'm OK.
