My service advisor confirmed my VTS model is faulty. “Part on backorder till end of June” and they are going to charge me $1.707.94 to replace. Somehow they got the car running for now and want me to pick up the car, but warned me it “could brick again” at any time before part is replaced. 😕🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I would love to know how they were able to get it to run yet not sure how long it will remain. This is far different than what everyone else has experienced.

Very odd they can get it running yet it still needs replacement? What would make it brick again? Something isn't adding up here in my estimation. To me, it appears they bypassed it via programming. I'd save the 1700 bucks and go with it as is. JMO of course

Failure rate isn't quite high enough for this yet. Class actions usually happen somewhere between 5 and 10% and only if there isn't a recall.
How can you make that statement. We have no idea what the failure rate is. This forum/site isn't representative of the vast majority of owners, yet we have a good amount reporting failure as well as on forums dedicated to the 718 platform. Again, most Porsche owners do not frequent forums. They simply own a Porsche for daily transportation. However we have seen reported here and in other forums that dealers are receiving numerous cars for this issue. Porsche has a history of not self-reporting in hopes the issue will not become common knowledge. Love their cars, mostly, but not their business practices.
