Purchased car as fourth owner (according to carfax report) on Saturday 31 may 2008. The following Thursday the car began to act as though it was going to cut out and the abs and brake system lights flashed and sounded. The lights and a/c were typically surging. Car was inspected that Friday by dealers mechanic of choice. He put the computer to the car and it read all 6 stator coils were bad. He reset the computer and drove it trying to get the car to act up again and it did not. Today, Saturday 14 Jun 2008, the car did it again and the engine light stayed on. Dealers mechanic was closed so I had someone else check it and they got the same reading with this message: p0606 pcm processor fault. Mechanic told me this was the computer. My car has 80,710 miles on it. Is this a normal failure? were there any recalls?.
