Shakes or Wobbles problem
2005 Renault Modus 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 50 000 miles

July 2009 it started to jerk after +- 100 km on the highway. Then a coil (bougth from renault dealer) was changed by october 2009 it became fine. February 2010 it started again with jerking on the highways.
Is it the coil again?
And what could cause a coil to fail so soon?
In a period of 18 months the coil has been changed twice.
