Default Coilpacks?
I posted this the other day when this happened. But here is another symptom. My car sputters after I start it. So now I have a blinking check engine light, vibrations, and sputtering. Now is this coilpacks and did something when I went through the puddles?

It's definately ignition related. Most likely coilpacks. Have yours been updated?

Default Not yet. I got the recall notice in the mail a few days
before this incident happened. I am not sure if I should drive it to the dealership or call roadside and have them tow it.

Default Tell them that your manual says you shouldnt drive with a flashing CEL, and unless you get a call
from the engineers in Germany, you arent gonna drive it.

Default I assume they will tell me to drive it because
the recall letter tells me it's safe to drive. But I will call RSA and have it towed.
