Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was recently told by a porsche dealer that the rear engines seals need to be replaced for $2400. after researching this extensively over the internet, most if not all porsche boxsters need this replaced before 60,000 miles. and this is due to inappropriate seals being used up to at least 2004. porsche even during the late 1990's, replaced engines under warranty because of this problem. it is very evident that the issues with the rear main seals are an epidemic and should have been recalled for all vehicles affected. i called porsche hq and they declined to do anything under good will. it is just not right when so many other people are affected. *jb
