This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I had driven the car without incident to a store. When I tried to start the car later it would not start. It was determined by both an independent mechanic and a Porsche dealer that the car had sustained catastrophic engine failure of an unknown origin. (they were not be able to determine exactly what the problem without disassembling the engine. I did not ask them to do this.). I replaced the engine.
Catasrophic engine failure in heavy traffic resulting in loss of breaks and very heavy steering. Had this happened on the free way the results could have been fatal. Further more many other Porsche Boxster owners have had the same problem. Engine replaced under warranty.
When coming to a stop while air cinditioning is on, vehicle shutters. The dealer has been notified. Consumer states whenever driven, the vehicle almost stalls, the district manager stated that all of the 97-99 boxters have this problem which can not be fixed.
