Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I recently formally asked my local dealer to ask Porsche if they would fix my airbag light problem ($700), under their "goodwill" policy. The fix rquires new seatbelt buckles and wiring harnesses for the seats. I've seen this problem many times here. There is a TSB for the fix for fault code #45.
Porsche said no, assuming the dealer really asked. My question is does anyone know if this decision can be appealed or am I SOL? I've read that Porsche will usually fix this in or out of warranty. Any help would be appreciated.
they won't fix out of warranty... (same thing happened to me) ridiculous, since it's an internal fault that you did nothing to cause.. but that's porsche out of warranty service for you...
Have any lawyer friends? Have one write a strongly worded letter (tactful, but non threatening). This is absolutely ridiculous that they won't fix what is a design flaw in the vehicle.
What year is the car?
porsche doesn't care if you are out of warranty.. it should be a no fix repair, but until a lawyer does something about it, porsche is gonna keep getting away with their shady tactics of abusing out of warranty customers for faults they caused from faulty manufacturing.... the main reason i won't be purchasing another pcar again until they clean up their act...
And Porsche does not care about your feelings.
My used January 1997 Boxster had one of the initial air bag 'fixes' during the first 2 years. Back then the warranty was 2 years.
From 1999 to 2002 I had the air bag light issue. A person I know would turn it off. Then it would come on again. Then it was turned off again.
In 2002 I had the retrofit kit in my link put in. I was 3 years out of warranty, and not the original owner. No charge.
I was told this no charge policy changed as of July 1, 2003. Since then we have had several local Boxster/996 owners who had to pay something towards the newest fix. I think Porsche pays for the parts and you pay for the labor. The labor is much more than the cost of the kit.
