Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROAD I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGH SO I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND FOUND A COIL LAYING ON THE GROUND ALONG WITH SOME OTHER PLASTIC PIECES. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT A SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK HEAD ALONG WITH THE BLOWN COIL THAT I HAD PICKED UP. THE SPARK PLUG WAS NEVER RECOVERED EVEN THOUGH I RETURNED TO THE SCENE OF THE INCIDENT.
