Hmm... Looks photoshopped to shave a few years off.

Southernstar, are suggesting that almost 4,000 boxsters had IMS failures reported to Porsche? That figure seems pretty far-fetched.

southernstar · 09-19-2013, 03:43 AM

The percentages are based upon Porsche's own figures obtained by the plaintiff's during the discovery process in the class-action suit. I assume it was based upon figures from the United States only (although I suspect the failure rate would be similar internationally).

Interesting explanation of IMS issue by Pedro. Would Jake Raby or anyone from LN comment on this theory and potential fix?

No. Doing so would only lead to drama, which is what occurs here on the forums.

My book covers this extensively, will be released at the 2014 Porsche Parade.

Why make us wait to buy a book from you in 2014 as we are all needing help and advice for this problem right now. Surely you are well aware 2014 may be too late for us. Why don't you fill us in in as this is a forum thats here for help when needed

Thought this was a good one to share. Seems like the world is coming to an end when Porsche engine quality is being overshadowed by Ford

Ford makes the best engine in the world? Germans get shocked in viral video - NY Daily News

It's a free country, man. If he chooses to not to share, we shouldn't ridicule him. However, if there is a negative effect for his action or lack of his action, his reputation is at stake.

I am going to get the $800 kit from that guy in the video right now

I'm just tossing this question out there for anyone, but is the IMS the only part in the m96 that is prone to oil starvation?

Trey T · 09-23-2013, 02:23 PM

From what I've read and analyzed in the last several years, nobody understand why there's a problem with the IMS bearing. I mean, no body!

There are many speculations but nobody can prove why it happened!!!! I have not seen any scientific test done to it, not even close!!!!

Would it be my best interest to "Exclude Myself" instead of "Object" to the Class Action Settlement when my 2003 with 80k miles has been "placed in service" (registered) for more than 10 years?

If enough people object, the terms of the settlement may get changed for the better for people like yourself. If you exclude yourself, you'd have to sue Porsche on your own to get any benefit and the cost of doing that will be greater than buying a new motor. Personally, I objected because my car like yours is outside the 10 year window.

To object is a gamble too as there is no way of knowing the outcome and it may end up that you lose your right to sue Porsche later on. I still need to think it through as to what I'm gonna do but do you mind sharing what did you state in your objection letter? Thanks!

thom4782 · 09-24-2013, 08:20 PM

Sent you a PM

No, not true. If you object you will still stay in the Class. Actually you can only object if you stay in the Class, if you exclude yourself you cannot object anymore. Read the notice carefully.

nieuwhzn · 09-25-2013, 09:14 PM

I think someone mentioned objecting through Email instead of writing and posting a letter. Since I'm a lazy bum I'd like to know how I'm supposed to do that.

My objection is against the 10 years max age of the car and against the pathetic 25% reimbursement when the car is bought used.
