THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER STATED THE LEFT AND RIGHT SEATBELT NEED TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT GAURANTEE THAT THE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. PORSCHE HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM. THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL IF IT IS WIDESPREAD.*AK

ENGINE FAILURE/BREAKDOWN; NO REAL EXPLANATION FROM PCA, MANY OTHER BOXSTER OWNER WITH ENGINE FAILURE, SEARCH AT-- WWW.986BOARD.COM/BOARD/986BOARD.HTM --. ALL OF THE SUDDEN BOXSTER ENGINE SUDDENLY FAILS/BREAKDOWN, DEALER REPLACED THEM BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER ENGINE WARRANTY IS OVER AND THE ENGINE FAILS DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. IN VIEW PCA OFFICES DOES NOT GIVE A REAL ANSWER, PROBABLY THEY ARE AVOIDING A ENGINE RECALL AND WAIT UNTIL EVERY ENGINE BREAKS/ FAILS. IT WILL NOT BE SAFE TO THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS. I DO REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE IN YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE. A BOXSTER ENGINE FAILURE REGISTRY WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, WHERE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONFIRM WHAT I WROTE TO YOU . THANKS. *AK
