my Explorer's O/D Off light would flash -in an amber color- when a serious problem was detected in the transmission. it was usually green when O/D was turned off

But here's my dilemma.. and i'm hoping you guys can suggest what I should do..

I have 3100 kms on my car... that's roughly about 1950 miles for you emericans and your gold medals..

Today I had to take my car in for a second time because the engine light aka the malfunction light has come on..

The first time was at 2600.. and today was the second time..

each time its roughly an hour at the dealership.. both times it's felt like they've just shrugged it off..

first time they said they had to resecure the mass air flow sensor & hose..

today they gave me a code of P0304.. told me the engine detected a misfire.. but they drove it 10 kms... and it didn't happen again so it must be bad gas....

I'm thinking of writing some kind of stern letter because I don't have time for this shit.. and I don't want to lessen the life span of my car.

So what if I have a 100,000 km warranty.. If I have to take it in ever 500 kms.. it's going to drive me bananas..

What do you think I should do?


Stop buying bad gas. lol, just kidding around. me and my american humor

RE: pretty agitated
Any updates then, gwildor? Or has the replaced coil left you trouble-free since March?
