Hi folks:
We are thinking of purchasing the car listed above (2.5 sedan) for our grandson. The question I have is the EPC light was on the instrument cluster. The dealer said they replaced one spark plug and coil pak and the light went off. Does this sound like the correct fix or should I be worried something more serious is wrong?
Let me know and thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

It depends on the code that was recorded. I would take a scanner with you and read the codes yourself to see if there are pending just to be safe. Here is a guide.

Please let us know what happens.
