At an intersection, the car sputters from a stop and sometimes stalls. Likewise, after re-fueling the tank the car stalls 2-3 times in a row on ignition before starting and staying on. When approaching a stop, the car has sometimes had the other dashboard warning lights come up and felt like it was about to stall, with the rpm gauge bouncing around near zero, but has not fully stalled during deceleration (possibly…

I have had nothing but problems with this car and have only owned it since july of 2014. The computer module in my transmission has already had to be replaced due to shuddering, gears shifting incorrectly, and eventually dying while driving. Now my car is in the shop, again. This time for code p0456, which relates to the purge valve canister and evap system. A few weeks ago, i noticed my check engine light came on…

About one year after we bought this car, i ran out of gas on a city street, about one mile from a gas station and the dash still showed 8 miles until empty. I was stranded on the side of the road and had to call for roadside assistance. After that i was careful to try not to let it get that low again. Recently, however, driving down the interstate, i was getting low on gas and about to get off at the next exit in 2…

My performance concern started within the first week of ownership. I had reported what i perceived as a performance issue to the dealer but opted to give a new car time to "break in". 4 weeks into my owner experience, the service department held and drove the car for 5 days and had determined that a transmission component was the cause of the issue i was experiencing. I now have over 10k miles on the vehicle and…

1. The sputtering, hesitation when pressing down on the accelerator 2. After stopping the car, the extra "jolt" seems as if it could be a safety concern/issue 3.year later all this got worse and i had the car towed in to the dealership 2 times for a total of 38 days of "fixing" the problems of the transmission. 4.i've had my car back now for 3 days, the hesitation is still there, no sputtering noticed as of now. *tr
