1994 PORSCHE 968 User Comment / Complaint

Known pinion bearing issue has been ignored by porsche for years. there are hundreds of known cases of this bearing failure yet porsche outright denies a problem. with less than 12,780 units produced worldwide over four years, the ratio of failed units of quite high by any standard. there exists the potential of causualties should this failure be ignored and occur while driving in traffic. while there typically is warning that the bearing is failing, many people continue to drive the vehicle not knowing the potential risk. porsche should issue a model wide recall and address this issue in all 968 produced over the four year production run as the failure has been reported in units from each year of manufacture. please visist www.968.net for a discussion on this matter. you will hear the nightmare stories from many 968 owners - from the failure itself, to trying to get porsche to step up and take responsibility. you will also find that porsche does, in fact, know about this issue and continues to ignore it and dismiss any claims for repairs from owners.
