Consumer Description
AFTER IDLING FOR APPROX 5 MINUTES ON A HOT AFTERNOON (95F), I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY FELT A SPUTTERING FROM THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE EPC LIGHT; THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL SPUTTERING HOWEVER WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME APPROX 10 MILES ON A CITY STREET. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ADVISED THAT AN ENGINE COIL HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN 5 MONTHS LATER WITH THE SAME CONCLUSION FROM THE MECHANIC. *TR
