a couple of days after purchasing this car with so called low miles. i started hearing a hissing noise coming from the engine compartment (like air leaking). i then took it a dealer and they replaced one spark plug and sent me on my way. that was at 27,145 miles. then at 45,375 miles noise came back with engine and hold light on and loss of power. i then took it to another dealer approx two weeks and replaced throttle body assembly and coolant passage pipe was leaking coolant.no charge was under warranty. then at 54,102 miles engine and hold light comes on again and loss of power. the stated the spark plug housing was cracked damaging the #3 coil pack assembly. they replaced the #3 spark plug and coil pack unit under warranty. then at 66,945 miles took back to dealer for engine and hold light again this time #4 spark plug and the ignition coil use due to assembly. then at 97,962 miles the check engine and hold light again they replaced the engine coil pack assembly again and replaced all four spark plugs and charged me $93.00. then on 98,214 miles check engine and hold light comes on again and now dealer states it now clogged cat-possible cause due to several concerns with coil packs and now my fee for new cat is $1300. what do you think?
