I purchased new in March of 2009. No major problem until July 2016. PCM replaced twice. Some transmission work (patching done) My car now drives like a old truck and dealership has "found the problem and fixed it 3 times". I am at a lost for what to do now. I'm not sure if they are just fleecing me or if they actually don't know what to do. (Just tell me you don't know) I have spent over $1600 and it runs worst that it did before I took it in the first time. Very disappointed.
