Consumer Description

DEALER FIXED IT BY REPLACING #3 IGNITION COIL. 2.ON DECEMBER 2009, THE VSC LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN, THIS TIME DEALER REPLACED #2 IGNITION COIL. 3. ON MARCH 2011, THE VSC LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN AND DEALER REPLACED #1 IGNITION COIL. 4. ON SEPTEMBER 2011, THE ELECTRIC STEERING LIGHT WAS ON AND STEERING WILL NOT TURN. THIS TIME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER REPLACED "POWER STEERING ECM (COMPUTER) AND CHARGED ME $863.36 INCLUDING $75 RENTAL DURING REPAIR. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS 4 IGNITION COIL IN THE CAR, SO 3 OF 4 OF THEM FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS. HE ALSO AGREED THAT THE STEERING PROBLEM IS LIFE THREATENING. HOWEVER HE SAID HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND IT WAS AN INDIVIDUAL CASE. *TR
