2006 Porsche CAYMAN S Engine And Engine Cooling Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The porsche engine did not have proper oiling due to a lack of proper oil return design which causes the bearings to prematurely wear and the rod bolts to fail in these engines. We have over 35 cases of this happening at http://www. Planet-9. Com/cayman-boxster-problems-complaints/59790-oiling-problems-blown-motors-nhtsa. Html to owners of porsche boxsters and caymans from primarily the 2006 and 2007 model years. Some of these failures have resulted in crashes or near-crashes as the engines fail the driver loses power steering and control of the vehicle. Porsche has refused to admit there is a problem with these engines but has redesigned the engines in 2009 to fix these oiling problems. Porsche has even denied warranty claims where the failures occurred on a track during a driving school, although porsche advertises their cars as sports cars and consistently shows them on the track in advertising materials, television, etc. Additional problems with the engines include increased oil consumption (1 quart per 250 miles) and cylinder scoring from improper assembly and/or design. My engine first failed at 18,000 miles and porsche made me pay over $5000 to get it fixed, the engine then consumed excessive amounts of oil and suffered from cylinder scoring after the porsche dealership rebuilt the engine in 2008. This caused the engine to need to be replaced in august 2011 for another $10,000. Statistics and owner accounts are showing a serious design flaw in these engines that porsche refuses to admit and has not addressed with any sort of retro-fit kit, recall or fix. Aftermarket companies have created solutions but porsche will not utilize these as they are not "porsche approved".
