Default COILPACK - Failure #2

My first one was the day before the big 2foot snowstorm we had a few weeks ago in CT. Took 4 hours to flatbed the the car to the dealer and 20 minutes to fix. They would only replace the one busted coilpack.

This one failed in identical conditions. 37 degrees and rainy.

Now they're supposed to replace all 4 now that the second one failed but now I have to be inconvenienced twice too! I have to have my wife drive me to work and figure out how to get the car 30 miles to the dealership. Maybe they should send the tech to my house. Ha.

Anyway, my brake switch problem from before is ALSO back so that needs to be replaced again too. Thats the switch which conveniently disables ESP and ABS - but only when it snows - like two days ago - and wont let you do anything about it.

That sucks, Aren't the coilpacks on nation-wide recall?... shouldn't your dealer replace them all?
