I was driving and the auto just stopped. This was fixed and less then 2 years later the same thing happen I was driving and the enjine stopped. The same thing has been replaced twice. I find it unusual that they are willing to fix this under another recall for emission warranty, when I submitted to be reinbursed it was denied. The first time the mechanic said that the coils and inginition looked as if it had caught on fire. I am getting concerned over this and the future of this ignitions.
