Consumer Description

I WAS EXPERIENCING A ROUGH IDLE AND ROUGH ENGINE RUNNING, FEELING AS THOUGH THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT. THE DEALER TESTED MY CAR AND DETERMINED THAT THE IGNITION COILS WERE BAD. THEY HAD TO REPLACE ALL 6 AT $100+ EACH BECAUSE THEY HAD NO WAY TO TELL WHICH OF THE 6 WERE BAD. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ALL 6 WERE BAD BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD STILL START AND RUN, ONLY HAVING PROBLEMS INTERMITTENTLY. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR 6 PARTS PLUS LABOR WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DETERMINE IF ALL OF THE PARTS TRULY NEEDED REPLACING.
