Consumer Description

I FEEL THAT THE HIGH FAILURE RATE OF VW IGNITION COIL PACKS IS A DANGER TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC SAFETY. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO HAVE MULTIPLE COIL PACKS FAIL. I HAVE TO CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK AND FEAR BEING KILLED SHOULD I ACCIDENTALLY PULL OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. THE CAR HAS VIRTUALLY NO POWER TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. DT
