My Aspire exhibited a number of component failures, and I consider myself lucky not to have been injured by them. In the first instance, the distriubutor failure occurred as I entered an intersection, and as a result the car stalled at the light not in the traffic lane. In the second instance, the steering component failure occurred on the highway resulting in significant vibration but I was able to control the car and take it into the dealer for repairs. In the third instance, the fuel pump failure caused the car not to start, but from what I understand, the part could have failed during operation and could have caused a stall. I consider myself lucky. Disappointed in the Aspire, but lucky.

No summary.
The ignition system inside the destributor has gone out on my car 4 times under warranty.
Distributor cap failed several times.
The engine stalls because it doesn't have the power to take off after stops due to a faulty distributor cap. Dealer says there is a back order on this part.
