I had my car towed to Steve Taub in Santa Monica this morning. Of course they said we are not familiar with that issue on this car. After much insisting they aggreed to look at it right away while I waited and sure enough I was correct. #3 was the culprit. They would not change the other so I will call AOA today and complain. Service Manager said they are putting the same part on anyway. Car has 15,200 miles with a build date of 10/01. This is a bad situation because you could be along way from a dealer when these things go down. It make me think twice about driving my fine german motor car any distance. I thought that is why I have my old MG. Symptoms where rough idle, then MIL indicator on, then loss of power/very rough running and flashing MIL. We need to start a serious campaign with AOA. It may be time to consider legal advise, I hate to say it but they need a recall on this. This issue could be about personal safety, not just convienence.

I think it is time for them to step up to the plate and fix this issue!

any issues with that so far? It's been over 7 months for you, right? I've been chipped for 4 months now and no issues so far. =)
