"Really want to have fun? We have over 4000 members, last I saw could be wrong. Say we have 4000 all that have a box, that means 800 of us at the minimum have replaced the RMS.......NO WAY!!! "
Actually the math would not work that way. Since many of us have had our Boxsters for a brief period of time, and since many of us have used Boxsters which may have already had its RMS issue, there is no way that the 20% number would befall us.
Now, if someone said that over the course of a 7 yr Boxster ownership period, some 20% would have a RMS, I could buy that!

Hi,
I'm only stating what the PCNA Rep said. Also, there was a poll conducted here on RMS failure and I believe that this non-scientific poll had a failure rate somewhere in the 28-30% reported, so I was not surprised at all. Also, remember how MUM Porsche has been on the subject, there is no accessible data from them. There was a Guy on another Forum who attempted to mount a Class Action suit agaionst Porsche, I do not know what his outcome was.
But, face it, if the PCNA guy was disgruntled or mistaken, if he was off by half, that's still in excess of 10% which is still way too high, especially in light of the fact that Porsche has still not redesigned the thing to eliminate the failure. This remains a chronic plague to this day...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Yes, and the flip side is, if these data were bogus, Porsche has the data to refute.
They have not!
You think these guys had engineering degrees or something!

People say Porsche has a 20% failure rate or something like that. Anyway, arent you glad they dont make jet engines? Eh, 20% isnt that bad.
