Upon taking the vehicle out of the driveway I started hearing a ticking sound coming from the engine, something like a lifter hitting the block. I pulled back in to my driveway and called a repair shop and scheduled an appointment. When meeting with the technician I was informed that the engine had a scored cylinder and that it is a common issue with the model and year. The only recourse to fix the issue would be to replace the engine. A replacement engine would cost $17 -35,000 - more than the vehicle is worth. If I were to replace it with a used engine, I would be destined for a repeat of the same issue. If this issue is such a common problem why has there not been a recall for these vehicles? I have contacted the manufacturer and was told that I would need to have a authorized service dealership make the diagnosis I have already been told, but there is not a authorized dealership within 500 miles of my location.

Beginning in august 2007, my car experienced transmission shifting problems and eventually had to have the control unit replaced. Afterwards the transmission shifted differently, but I assumed that was related to the new control unit. In early 2008, the transmission seemed to run rougher during warm up and occasionally the right tire would ?skip? As if traction control engaged for a brief period. I assumed (incorrectly) that this was due to tire wear. Finally, in may 2008, the drive shaft failed. This was two months after the warranty period and at 52,764 miles. I have read online that this driveshaft has had many failures, and that dealerships keep several on hand to address the related problems. With that in mind, I requested that porsche replace the driveshaft under warranty. The part cost $895.51 plus $69.40 in tax for a total of $964.91. Since the labor was performed at my local service center, I am requesting only reimbursement for the part. I have saved the failed part and can also supply you with the original paperwork. I am attaching copies of the repair bill (import specialties) and the previous warranty work (newport auto center). Porsche denied the claim on june 9, 2008. The driveshaft represents both a defective part and a potential for a dangerous situation it the unit failed at a high speed.
