Consumer Description

FAILED IGNITION COIL PACK ON 2002 AUDI A4. 3.0 ENGINE LEAVING THE CAR INOPERABLE. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A WORLDWIDE MAJOR FAILURE MODE WITH VW/AUDI ONLY REPLACING THE FAILED COIL PACK, THE OTHER COIL PACKS WILL FAIL IN TIME. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD UP TO 5 COIL PACKS FAIL AT VARIOUS TIMES LEAVING THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES STRANDED IN UNDESIRABLE CONDITIONS AND PLACES. MANY PEOPLE DON'T CARRY CELL PHONES ENHANCING THE PROBLEMS. A TOTAL RECALL IS MANDATORY IN THIS CASE, IT'S NOT GOING TO GET BETTER! TS
