Car was working fine on 10/15, went out to start car on 10/16, and it was completely dead, towing company unable to jump start vehicle, would crank but not turn over. Had vehicle towed to mechanic, who found coolant hose connector, had cracked and was spraying the alternator with coolant, causing it to short out, and send spikes of electricity through my system. Thus far have had to replace the ignition module, cam sensor, and multiple burnt fusible link wires. Still having "service engine soon" light on, and mechanic feels will also have to replace the computer, due to quad driver codes present when checked by his computer. I find it interesting that the local dealer, not only had this coolant hose connector, in stock, but also that the part, which was made of plastic originally, is now made of a heavy metal. I am curious if there have been other reports of this type of failure. Has so far cost me $700 to replace these failed parts, and will probably be another $300 to $400 for the computer I am told.
