Description of the problem	Camshaft controller recall. On 9/8/2015, my vehicle abruptly stopped while i was driving on the highway. I was traveling about 60mph and suddenly heard a loud noise and the car went completely dark. All of the electrical components were dead. I coasted over to the emergency lane and when i tried to restart the vehicle nothing happened. After having the vehicle towed to the porshe dealer, i was told that the "camshaft" broke off in the engine and the repair would cost over $5,000. As i had owned the vehicle for several years and it was thoroughly maintained at the dealer, i inquired as to how such a major repair could happen. The car was only 3/4 years old at this time. I was told that there was no reason and that sometimes "things just break". My porsche was out of warranty so i was forced to pay for the repair out of pocket. When i contacted the service manager to complain that the issue must have been a manufacturer's defect, they agreed but would not cover the cost of the repair. I complained directly to porsche headquarters and received $500 off of the cost of the repair. Mind you, i still had to pay over $5,000 to correct the issue. About a year or so later, i received a notice in the mail that there was a recall pending on the exact issue that i paid for. I have contacted porsche headquarters several times to obtain reimbursement for the repair, however i keep being told that i have to wait until they send out an "official notice" of the recall and only then, will i be able to submit forms to receive reimbursement. I'm at a loss as to why i, as a customer, have to jump through hoops to get my money. Especially since the repair was done at an authorized porsche dealer & they have all of the documentation in they system. I also have a copy of the invoice and can provide if necessary.
