Second time it has needed virtually a complete engine rebuild, and Porsche is not willing to even give me any discount on the repair.

First time was an intermediate shaft bearing failure, a known design defect in the engine. This time the oil pump decided to self detonate and send metal through the inside of the engine.

Porsche, the company, truly sucks.
