Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 VW JETTA (1.8T) INTO TRAFFIC A COIL PACK FAILED AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. IT WAS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY TRAFFIC TURNING INTO MY LANE BECAUSE THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS THE 3RD COIL PACK TO HAVE FAILED ON ME IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS, AND I AM A BIT AFRAID TO TAKE THE CAR ON LONG TRIPS DUE TO THE VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE CONDITIONS. I AM EVEN SOMEWHAT AFRAID TO PROCEED INTO TRAFFIC IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS BECAUSE IF A COIL PACK FAILS I WILL BE PUT AT THE MERCY OF OTHER DRIVERS REACTIONS AND ABILITY TO STOP. TS
