Mine too. I went over a speed bump today and Tristar 7 shut down. Jiggled
the key on the way to the side of the road and "thar she blew".

I spent the time and money to get the last one from VW directly. Lasted
about 3 years. It would be nice if there was one that listed 20 years.

Suggestions?

Kim
