I had driven the car without incident to a store. When I tried to start the car later it would not start. It was determined by both an independent mechanic and a Porsche dealer that the car had sustained catastrophic engine failure of an unknown origin. (they were not be able to determine exactly what the problem without disassembling the engine. I did not ask them to do this.). I replaced the engine.

Catasrophic engine failure in heavy traffic resulting in loss of breaks and very heavy steering. Had this happened on the free way the results could have been fatal. Further more many other Porsche Boxster owners have had the same problem. Engine replaced under warranty.
