Porsche started selling boxsters in 1997. The car has a problem in that the airbag light will come on and the owner will not know if the airbags are working properly or not. Porsche has had over 7 fixes on this issue and none have worked to date. They have replace mine under warranty, and it has failed again. I have been informed by my local porache dealer this is an on going problem. Porsche north america refuses to fix this problem sine the car is out of warranty.
The airbag light has come on for the third time. The problem is in a sensor in the seatbelt. Each time it is the same problem and porsche wants me to spend $550 to replace the unit with the fourth sensor.i have declined to do this as they will not warrantythe new unit.this is a well known defect in this car according to servicemen and there aresimilar complaints on your website. I have called and written to porsche without response.*ln
We own a 2002 porsche boxster with approximately 66,000 miles.we purchased the vehicle,used, in late 2003.on three separate occasions we have experienced total loss of use of the vehicle due to water leaking into the interior compartment and flooding the control unit,rendering the car totally inoperable.the incidents have taken place in october, 2004 at 33,000 miles, april, 2008 at 61,000 miles, and currently in february, 2010.the repair has initialed replacing the control unit and having to pull out the carpet so as to inhibit mold growth.the first incident was repaired under the vehicle's warranty, the second time was repaired at our expense of approx. $1,600.the estimate for this current repair is $1,500.we believe this poses a severe safety risk because the first incident took place while the car was in use.we were driving up a hill.suddenly the vehicle became inoperable and we had to maneuver the car using the handbrake, to reverse down the hill.the car had to be towed to the dealer.we have investigated the problem on the internet and found that this is a common problem with certain porsche's vehicles.there is a defect in the vehicle and/or the restrictive filters that cause them to become clogged with debris and cause the water leakage.in addition to this problem recurring domestically, we note that the nhtsa, was informed via frcl-09f028-2453 dated april 5, 2009 of a similar problem in non-u.s. Markets.we would appreciate your investigating this defect.

Rear main seal oil leak prone to the porsche boxster. Unit was fixed 18 months ago under normal factory warranty and failed again. The cost of the fix was over $1,900.00. Shouldn't a fix done by the dealer last longer then 18 months and 5,500 miles? porsche told me to "do what i need to do" to recover front he loss.
