Global Automotive of Miami DISRIBUTORS OF BAD DISTRIBUTORS! Miami FL
Report Attachments
The order was received on time, but the distributor was found to be defective. Once the distributor was installed on my car there was a continued intermitten ignition issues which I had been trying to correct. Having just installed the part which completed the whole spark side replacement, I proceded to trouble shoot on the fuel and air "side" for the next several weeks outside in the coldest sub-freezing winter in our area since 1912!
Only after I returned to the spark side removed the distributor and took it apart did I discover a wire that had been assembled wrong in such a way as to cause it to rub against the timing wheel of the distributor. At first the issue was intermitten but eventually it caused a "no-start" situation. During the intermitten period we were almost left stranded on the highway. On this occassion it was a wonder I didn't throw a rod when the car misfired at 70 mph. Other parts were thrown at the problem because the distributor was assumed to be new and in working order and no codes or problems were found.
Despite having my mechanic consultant at the local parts store verify that the wire was assembled wrong and was shorting against the "timing wheel" within the distributor, this company's representative was more intent on arguing that it couldn't be the part which was now out of the warranty time period. There was no concern for the customer nor the fact that there could have been a defective part sold. BUYER BEWARE!
