When i drive for more that 20 minutes, my car will start dying without warning. I can then put it in park and start the car, which it will then start up and i can drive for about another minute and it will die again. It will do this over and over unless i stop driving and let the car 'rest' for at least 30 minutes. This started happening a week after i had some recall work done on the csv.

This mostly occurs when the supposedly automatic transmission shifting from the first and second gear. The first time i reported this to the dealer, they replaced the clutch which stopped the rumble issue until few months later, the…

Car constantly has issues stuttering when trying to accelerate. It causes shaking in the car and only lightly lessens when the gas tank is over halfway full and/or has a recent oil change. Already had a few parts replaced concerning the cpv because the gas pedal ceased functioning whilst driving on the interstate. I've gotten the recall notice letter but no full solution has been offered yet.

The car shut off on me while driving and i scheduled the dealership to fix it because i found similar issues and a recall but when i dropped my car off they said no recall existed for my car and there is nothing they can about my car. When i was leaving the dealership i almost got hit in traffic because i had the same issue for two days in a row and it keeps happening.
