ON THREE OCCASIONS 10/27/00,01/15/01, AND 3/19/01 THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURED WITH MY VEHICLE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND AND THAT THEY CLEARED THE CODE. ON THE SECOND OCCASION THE DEALER DECLARED ON PAPER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR. ON THIS OCCASION THEY REPLACED THE COIL PACK. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER YET REGARDING THE ISSUES CURRENTLY AT HAND. ON ALL 3 OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS DIED. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE CAR HAS DIED. I HAVE GONE TO TURN A CORNER AND THE CAR HAS DIED. I HAVE GONE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR HAS DIED. WHEN I GO TO START THE CAR THERE IS NO POWER AND THE MAXIMUM SPEED I CAN DRIVE IS APPROXIMATELY 15MPH. BOTH TIMES I HAVE ALMOST GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT DO TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE RODE.*AK
