Are there fees associated with filling out the smart sheet and entering the class action lawsuit? Also who has already been reimbursed by PCNA...posts above say people have???
It looks like there is another lawsuit going on as well, do people know about these:

P.S. My pipes recently failed and I completed the repair at my local Porsche stealership they changed me almost 35% more than the average cost of performing the service.

Fees for putting your info up, no. But class action suits by nature have legal fees that are taken out of settlements. None of us pay, but the final total award is subject to the amassed legal fees.
Concerning some who have been reimbursed, I think you might have jumped into the point of the thread where we were discussing coil packs (which PCNA does reimburse).
Concerning "http://cayenneclassaction.com/" Its the same lawyers who i gave access to the smartsheet database - all one in the same.

Starter cost
So I just had the Cayenne towed to the dealer it seems that the slow leak now took out the starter too. I was looking at $1700 for the pipes how much more should I expect for the starter now?

Hey all, I think these early model Cayennes have another problem that's plaguing some, although I'm not sure whether it reaches the level of a class action.
I have a 2004 Porsche Cayenne S with only 66K miles and learned very recently (after the engine started to shake) that I have a scored cylinder and that the only way to remedy this is to buy a new engine from Porsche which will cost $16K. The car has been under regular maintenance since I bought it (as the original owner) but is unfortuantely out of warranty. I ran this issue up the ladder all the way to Porsche NA in Atlanta and the only thing they are willing to do for me is to offer to pay for half of the engine, which would reduce what I would have to pay out of pocket to $10.5K.
Now I don't know about the rest of you Porsche owners, but forcing me to pay $10.5K to fix a problem on a car that only has 66K miles and a Blue Book value of $20K or so is ridiculous. The car has had all of the Porsche-suggested maintenance services since it was purchased and has been garage kept all that time. I searched the web and found several other people who have had this same issue (low mileage Porsches with scored cylinders), including with other Porsche models, which got me to wondering how many of you out there have had this same problem (perhaps a design defect), and if we band together do we have enough purchasing power to force Porsche to do something about it?
If you've had similar problems, please post here and to my facebook wall (I created a facebook page solely for this issue; facebook ID is Engine Problems) and drop me an email. We paid a lot of money for our Porsches and deserve to be treated better.

I heard that when these engines go, they go FAST. Apparently, once the liner to the cylinders becomes compromised, they are toast. The dealer owner told me about that. However, I did not think to ask him how he knew about this.
How many others have had this problem?
It's good that Porsche offered some assistance. After all, you are benefitting by having a new engine.
There is one fellow who needed to buy a new transmission and that cost him $8,000. A pump inside the transmission housing failed and cracked and was not designed to be replaced.
Looks like I'd better keep a lot of money in the bank for "incidentals" like these. I can't imagine that a turbo engine would be much under $22,000!
Now, those low figures for used Cayennes is making more sense. These can be risky vehicles.

Crap....why did I join this damn forum
What were the symptoms of this? I have 52k on my 04' S and am starting to fear driving the damn thing. Not what I expected when I bought a Porsche!

If you find that you're engine is eating up a lot oil, and if you feel your engine struggling when you push down on the accelerator, then I would take it to the dealership immediately. We had those symptoms and the engine light hadn't even come on yet, so don't wait for a warning from the car to tell you there is something wrong with the car.
