  Engine failure/balance shaft broke apart - 2005 Porsche Boxster
  By scott c. - October 4 - 2:40 pm

  Purchased 2005 Boxster S brand new. Never had any major issues until about 2 years with 20k miles. Thats when vehicle had complete engine failure/balance shaft broke apart. Since the car was still under warranty car was towed to my local dealer. I was told the balance shaft broke causing complete engine damage! The dealership service dept had no loaners and I was without the car for 3 weeks. When the car was given back to me interior and exterior was scratched up and steering wheel was off center. I did not want to keep the car and called/meet with Porsche rep to discuss. Porsche N.A. rep would not help at all! Due to poor reliability I traded to Mercedes.
