IMS related engine failure

All: I recently sent an email to the PCA officers asking them to intervene with Porsche for help on the IMS and heard back from Manny Alban, the President. Mr. Alban says that everyone with an IMS failure should write Porsche with copy to PCA; he further stated that PCA's policy is not to interfere with Porsche as it does not interfere with PCA. I had pointed out that the U.S. is Porsche's biggest customer and therefore the PCA should intervene on our behalf--I specifically suggested that Porsche could direct its dealers to offer reasonable extended warranty insurance to cover the IMS since I know that Porsche will never voluntarily do a recall on the IMS.
Maybe the class action lawsuit route is the best way to go since the PCA does not apparently want to help its members.
Thanks, Cabjose.
