Consumer Description

DUE TO A FRIEND HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THEIR SAME YEAR/MODEL CAR, MY MOM BEING OVERLY CAUTIOUS, THANKFULLY BROUGHT HERS IN TO BE CHECKED. THEY FOUND THE CAR HAD PREMATURE LOOSE PLUGS AND DAMAGED COILS. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF 4 PLUGS AND 2 COILS. THIS HAPPENED AT ONLY 48,077 MILES. IF SHE HAD NOT BROUGHT IT IN WHEN SHE DID, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM LIKE HER FRIEND WHO WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THEIR ENGINE WENT DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE WITH LOOSE PLUGS. APPARENTLY THIS APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT IN THIS MODEL. THEY CHARGED HER $105 AND COVERED THE REST UNDER A "GOODWILL" WARRANTY BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE.
