| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Ignition lock failure - 2000 boxster s. dealer mechanic advised that problem is serious and common. will always lead to stranded motorist. problem so common mechanic requested quote for 'nuked ignition lock' from service writer. service writer replies $450 without having to look it up and also humorously acknowledges frequency of occurrence. probably widespread across porsche model and year range, including carrera, thanks to standardization of components. in my case the key was stuck in the on position, so i had to force the key to the off position, straining key and dash components. it's best for other owners to make sure they are at the dealer before they force their key out. *jb |
