Is the "Porsche PCM Settlement" Real?
#16
What if we sue the lawyers? Do we get a GT3 RS?

I had this problem
Doesn’t sound like this suit applies to most that have replied but for some this can be worth thousands. My PCM got stuck in a constant reboot (covered in another thread). My theory was Sirius did an update that tried to write to a bad sector which bricked the PCM (only theory, maybe somebody has some better dope on the issue). Many were sending their PCM in for disk replacement, others had the dealer replace the PCM (over 4K). My SA replaced the PCM at no charge as I think they knew what was going on but PCNA hadn’t acknowledged the issue. We might not like lawyers but between the diesel settlement and this the value could have been over 20k. Fortunately I had dealer that stepped up.

PCM is real... I wasted 400 miles driving to the dealer and at 1.00 per mile, that is what I submitted. One other way is this weakened batteries and made them need to be replaced ..

The first time this happened to mine - well before the issue in 2020 - the dealer didn’t know the cause and replaced the entire PCM. The time in 2020 was pretty easy to handle once I knew the cause and the fix. I think we should be getting relief from Sirius for effing it all up with their free trial push that corrupted the system.

The PCM Settlement is the real deal. It requires a hard PCM reset by a Porsche dealer. If that does not fix it, the dealer will replace your PCM. I started the process in January, filed my claim in February, and today, two months later, I got a check for the complete $3500 repair. The process takes a couple of trips to the dealer. But it was worth the time and effort. The PCM works great now. It is like a new car where the PCM is concerned.
