While i was driving on a city street at about 30 mph, my 2005 boxster started making a rattling noise, then completely died in the middle of an intersection on a city street without any prior warning. At the same time, all of the warning lights came on. I was able to put the car in neutral and coast to the side of the road. Car was towed to my mechanic, who states it is an intermediate shaft bearing issue/failure. Had i been driving on the freeway at high speed, i most likely would have been killed. I am the original owner of the car, it has 128,000 miles and recommended maintenance is all up to date.

Pulling away from a green light in traffic, the engine started to upshift into a higher gear much sooner than normal and the car felt down on power. The engine sounded as though it was running on fewer than normal cylinders. I stopped the vehicle immediately & had it towed to a porsche specialist. They told me it was an ims (intermediate shaft) bearing failure and that is was a known problem with m96 and m97 porsche engines. Mine being an m96 engine. *tr

This is a very well know ims failure issue with porsche boxster which certainly calls for a recall from porsche. My 2005 engine will need to be replaced for 20k just because of the very obvious design flaw porsche has in its m96 engines. I am pretty sure there have been numerous complaints about this in past but nobody has ever heeded to it. I sincerely recommend some one to please look into and ask porsche to accept and recall m96 engines failing due to ims. Any car expert or mechanic or dealership can vouch for the design flaw porsche has. Its potentially fatal too. I sincerely request someone to look into this complaint with uttermost sincerity. *tr

None

20110808

Catastrophic engine damage due to intermediate shaft bearing failure. There are no signs that the part will fail. There is a grinding noise in the engine and upon stopping all the oil leaks out. As soon as the noise is heard, the engine is irreparable damaged. Instant, catastrophic damage. Engine is a total loss. Bearing is a defective design and has been redesigned in newer models. *tr

None

20110720

While pulling away from a stop light in light city traffic, engine suddenly had reduced power output immediately followed by loud sounds of loose metal parts through out the engine compartment. Upon inspection by a porsche specialist, he determined that the engine had suffered intermediate shaft failure which caused catastrophic engine failure by allowing the valves to make contact with the piston heads and shredding ball bears which sent metal shaving through the oiling system. The engine is considered non-repairable and requires a complete replacement engine.
