Consumer Description

THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT RESTART. IT HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING AREA. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A CRACKED IGNITION COIL THAT 'FRIED' THE IGNITION MODULE AND CORRESPONDING WIRES. HE ALSO SAID IN THIRTY YEARS HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES ON IT. HAD IT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AND THE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR DIED. *TR
