I hope so for him anyway.
But generally when you bang a piece of electrical equipment as you drive around, electrical components will take the full force of it, ie: solder will come off.
My car is a 96 model in a mint condition, has done not even 50 000 KMs... (interior and exterior are immaculate) I hardly think that for some reason AFM wanted to cack it... the flapping pod caused it.
Ive learned my lesson and all in all it cost me over 250 bucks to fix it... f**ken waste of money dude.
