Consumer Description

MOTOR FAILED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE ACCELERATING, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND LOSS OF CONTROL. MECHANIC INSPECTION SAYS THAT IT WAS NOT MY FAULT, AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT 3500 RPM AND THERE WAS NO STRESS THAT SHOULD CAUSE FAILURE. NO SLUDGE FOUND IN ENGINE, OIL CHANGES DONE ON TIME. FAILURE NECESSITATES A COMPLETELY NEW MOTOR AT A COST OF $16,000. AFTER INVESTIGATION, IT APPEARS THAT COMPLETE MOTOR FAILURE BETWEEN 40-50K MILES ON THE 2006 PORSCHE CAYMAN S IS FAIRLY COMMON.
