Description of the problem | Exactly one month after purchasing my chrysler 200 nov 28, 2017bthe engine light came on during short drive to the movies, and the engine began to stall while waiting at a red light. I had to pay almost $400 to replace ignition coil. Then a month ago, 06/27/2018 another ignition coil failed costing me $250, luckily when the coil failed i was in line at a starbuck's drivethru. Now another coil has failed leaving the car undriveable again, and now unable to afford repair. Unfortunately the warranty i purchased with the vehicle does not cover this part and after recently reading reviews on this particular vehicle i have come to learn that this is a recurring issue that has not been called out, yet this vehicle is still be sold to people. I strongly feel that it is a safety concern, because in this last incident my coil went out while driving on the highway and my car began to stall in the middle of rush hour traffic during a heat advisory. I also strongly believe that the part the ignition coils are faulty and are cause for great concern. |
