Ignition coil failure on cylinder #3 due to no heat shield between coil & catalyst which is situated just below the coil. This resulted in sudden loss of power and misfires of #3 cylinder. Mechanic states this problem will happen again until a proper heat shield is installed between the coil & the catalyst. I was in traffic at the time on a freeway at a speed of 65 mph.

The engine experienced a cylinder failure in the #5 cylinder. The #5 piston 'clipped' a valve, the valve dropped into the cylinder, the piston impacted the valve and caused the #5 piston rod to break loose completely and punch a hole in the top of the engine core. There were also cracks in the #5 cylinder wall. I had to purchase a completely new engine from the manufacturer and have my local dealer install it. The final repair bill was $25,000.
