I purchased the 2006 Boxster in July 2010 from a private party, and soon afterward, started to experience intermittent ABS/psm system failure warning lights. The original Porsche warranty was due to expire in January, 2011. I took the car to flemington Porsche in flemington N.J. three times in August, 2010, but they were unable to diagnose the source of the problem. The warning lights persisted. The car was taken to knopf Porsche in allentown, pa in 2012, and they too, were unable to give a definitive diagnosis, but opined that the warning lights were false positives, and the systems were fully functional. Last year, I was forced to make a hard stop, all four brakes locked, the car skidded, and the back end of the car began to 'fishtail.' The ABS/psm safety systems on this car are clearly not reliable. It is my opinion that Porsche has a responsibility to help fix this issue because the problem was identified while the car was still under warranty, the dealerships did not aggressively pursue a solution, and most importantly, these are systems essential for the safe operation of any car.
