| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The engine sputters and appears to misfire after the car has been sitting or driven in the rain. preceding and after this event the check engine light comes on. this happened twice during the week of september 11, 2006. the dealership could not identify the problem and said the car was safe to drive, but suggested we get a tune up, including getting the spark plugs changed (the car didn't need it!). on a rainy october 6 at 5:00 a.m., the car stalled in the middle of a 2-lane state road. when we attempted to restart the car, it sputtered a bit and then died. the car would not restart and had to be pushed off the road. we are going to ask the dealership to inspect the ignition coil. *nm |
