“I have a 2003 Dodge status coupe that has two coils on the top of the spark plugs. I have had them replaced 3 times with a 4th due soon. The problem starts with the engine misfireing some, then the service engine soon light comes on and I loose two cylendars. Sometimes the service engine soon light turns off for several days but then returns.”
NHTSA complaint #10133686, filed 2005-08, 40,000 miles“The dash in my car shortly after I bought it stated coming apart. It has completely separated from the defroster. In addition, all of the vent covers, ect. No longer are secure. The entire dash and components are in horrible condition.. I called the dealer and they said it was not covered in the warranty which was bumper to bumper. In`addition my defroster is horrible. When you have it in floor mode it blows on the windshield and it fogs up constantly. The electrical componets go crazy every once in a while, no power to the car ect. …”
