I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND THIS US THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR ACTS AS IF ITS GOING TO DIE OUT. THE PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM FIXED AND STATED THAT THE COILS WERE BAD. NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. THE REASON WHT I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE WAS TO AVOID ISSUES SUCH AS THIS. I TRADED IN A 2011 VEHICLE THAT I HAD BOUGHT USED HAD IT FOR FIVE YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES NOR ANY OTHER ISSUES.

THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WAS FILED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2016. IHTSA ID NUMBER 10906998. ORIGINALLY THE VEHICLE DYING WAS SAID TO BE DUE TO THE OIL NEEDING TO BE CHANGED AND SOMETHING WITH THE TURBO ENGINE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE. SINCE THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS UPDATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES AFTER THE COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATE. APRIL 10TH THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD RATTLING SOUND. THE SOUND BEGINS ONCE YOU GET OVER 50-55MPH AND GETS LOUDER THE FASTER YOU GO AND THE LONGER YOU DRIVE. I RECORDED THE SOUND SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE A BICYCLE CHAIN. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE FOR THE RATTLING PROBLEM ON JUNE 21. TODAY WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE TRIED STALLING. AFTER DRIVE ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. A CAR SWERVED INTO THE TURNING LANE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. THIS MAKES THE 4TH TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO CAUSE ME OR MY CHILDREN TO BE INJURED OR KILLED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 14, 153 MILES.

THE CAR SHAKES VERY URUPTLY AT IDLE. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE ENGINE AND SEE IT'S SHAKING AT IDLE. IF YOU TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER ON IT GETS WORSE. RADIO SCREEN WILL NOT WORK SOMETIMES. BLUE TOOTH WILL WORK THEN CUT OFF THEN TURN BACK ON WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN RANDOMLY NOT WORK WHERE I HAVE TO TURN THEM MANUALLY ON. WIPERS DO THE SAME AS THE HEADLIGHTS BUT TO CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR THE WIPERS IT TAKES TURNING OFF THE CAR AND TURNING IT BACK ON AND OUT THEM ON LOW. ENGINE WILL DIE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY SPEED. GPS WILL NOT LOAD SOMETIMES. THE BACK UP CAMERA WORKS WHEN SCREEN WORKS BUT ALSO FAILS WHEN SCREEN IS WORKING AND WHILE BACKING UP. DURING TAKE OFF THE CAR WILL STALL LIKE NO GAS THEN IT WILL GO LIKE IT'S GETTING GAS. DURING COLD IT SHIFTS REALLY ROUGH LIKE YOUR USING A STANDARD SLAMMING IT IN GEAR. I HAVE ALSO HAS 2 MISFIRE IN 2 DIFFERENT CYLINDERS. ONE WAS A COIL PACK THE OTHER WAS SUPPOSEDLY A LOOSE CONNECTION. TOOK CAR IN FOR ALL THIS AND DEALER SAID IF THEIR IS NO CHECK ENGINE NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH THEY FEEL THE CAR CHAIR AND CAN SEE THE ENGINE SHAKING. THEY TELL ME TO COME BACK IN WHEN LIGHT COMES ON. LIGHT SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL FAULTS. ECM AND TCM HABE BEEN REPROGRAMMED MULTIPLE TIMES AND PROBLEMS STILL CONSIST.
