Consumer Description

DRIVING TO LOCAL FISHING SPOT ON A SPRING DAY WHEN A LOUD POP FROM UNDER THE HOOD FOLLOWED BY MORE CONSISTENT POPS, NOISE, AND POOR RUNNING CONDITION. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD ONLY TO FIND THE COIL PRECARIOUSLY PROPPED UP AND OUT OF IT'S SEAT. REMOVING THE COIL WAS ASTONISHED TO SEE THAT THE PLUG WAS STILL IN THE COIL. THE PLUG HAD BEEN EJECTED CRUSHING THE COIL AND FUEL RAIL. I CALLED THE LOCAL WRECKER FOR A TOW (MUST BE FLATBED DUE TO SIZE OF TRUCK) TO THE DEALER. DEALER DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF PROBLEM AND WAS PROMPTLY TOLD IT WOULD BE SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND MANY MANY DAYS OUT OF SERVICE. I HAD TRUCK TOWED TO MY HOME AND PROCEEDED TO FIX IT MYSELF. *NM
