I bought my car in 2009 and I am having similar problems to the ones I have read. The other morning my car would turn over but not start, we figured out that it was the security system. So we reset it. Now when I accelerate the car acts as if it is running out of gas. Reading these complaints scares me a little bit. I would like to know what I should do.
