Consumer Description

ENGINE CUTS OUT WHEN HOOD GETS WET, WHETHER BY RAIN OR BY WASHING THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM WORKED AS DESIGNED. THEY SAID, "IT IS TYPICAL FOR THIS TYPE VEHICLE TO MISS AND RUN ROUGH IF WATER GETS ONTO DISTRIBUTOR ASM UNDER FRONT OF VEHICLE." THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. YOU HAVE TO PARK THE CAR AND WAIT FOR IT TO DRY OUT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN.
