I have a 2010 and repeatedly have issues. it has been to the dealer as it completely lost power in rush hour. car dash said service abs, power, saver mode, traction control, service esc and then died. i took to shop and they replaced the pcm is what they told me. car has since had lose of power, sluggish, dies periodically, and now almost 3 years after thousand dollar repair not to mention the air bag light that is on that they are telling me will cost at least 1000 dollars as well to repair as my car is out of warranty and that it is a saftey concern. my car died again while coming through a intersection and the p0341 has come up and been replace3d four times since february 2019. this car is a danger and i am forced to drive it when it runs as i have so much money invested i cant afford a new one. i have also replaced the throttle body and just about every sensor under the hood including spark plugs and battery and car is still acting up. why are they not helping us. someone is going to get killed. it stalls ...

I buy a bulb every other week or month for my headlights on the passenger side keeps going out

Car intermittently stalls going home from work, and around town. never stalls in the early morning (dark out). the warmer the outside temperature is the more it stalls, with the hottest day so far causing the car to have to be towed because it would not restart until the next day when it was cooler out. most stalls happen within 7 to 15 minutes on the second trip of the day (around 2 pm), and the car has to sit for 20 seconds or longer before it will restart. no check engine light comes on for this event. the electrical power is still on when this happens. the stall is quiet and pressing the gas peddle only speeds up how fast it stalls. most of the stalls happen at 1500 rpm or less, and 45 mph or less. the stalls happen while moving, accelerating, slowing down, while stopped in gear, and stopped in park. the event feels like the engine power cuts out with no warning, and the rpm gauge and car start slowing down. if the car can coast for 15 to 20 seconds, it has fixed itself and stopped stalling (as long as rpms did not drop too ...

Takata recall my car made a hum sound while accelerating when i just got in it on my 2 minute journey home. while going straight, the car no longer continued to accelerate and stopped on the street. after restarting the car, the engine light turned on and would still not move in any gear.

Driving home from work about 30mph and all of a sudden the car looses power and eco assist shuts off, with traction control,traction assist, and power steering . this seems like a safety issue as i couldn't pull off to the side of the road due to these issues and the car would only go 10 mph!! i see other have complained about this issue in nys and nothings been done or when we go to the dealership they just clear the codes and say nothings wrong! this is an issue as if someone was behind me they would of hit me as when these light came on the dash with the check engine light the car went from 30mph down to 10 mph and the car ran rough and slow . please do something with this issue as alot of people complaining !

Vehicle suddenly powered down to 10 mph, shook violently and sputtered. engine light, traction control light and service esc message across dash. this left me stranded at midnight, pregnant while in route to see dying grandfather. in order to get home approx 60 miles away, had to remove battery terminal for a reset. dealer could not fix due to reset alas code was cleared. did not experience this issue again until out of warranty almost one year later. slowly got to dealer. needs new throttle body. initially dealer claimed servicing would be covered due to tsb and extended warranty for issue; however, after diagnosis dealer denied any special coverages existed for this issue. apparantly a $600 fix, denied service and replaced ourselves for $185 part.

After replacing a leaking valve cover gasket, i took it for a test drive, after approximately 17 miles, without any warning the engine ceased on me, it died out and had to be towed back to my place

While driving at 60mpg car rpg dropped to nothing, couldn't use the accelerator. able to move to the side of the road. got it going again then not even 5 mins later car started shaking badly, couldn't use the accelerator, pulled over. dash flashes with esc. service, traction control, engine reduced and check engine light comes on. this problem has been on going for well over a year. has nothing to do with colder months, first time it happened it was september. went out today to warm up my car as it was iced and snowed over, while cleaning it off it was fine. came back inside to finish getting ready to go and when i came out to my car, it was shaking, rpm was bouncing between 1-3, all the notices were on the dash again. took it for a drive around the block to see if it would resolve, couldn't get it to go above 15 mpg. i've taken it to numerous garages to get looked at, its always something different. one "fixed" the engine, another did an oil change and filter change, one changed the alternator, etc. everytime i take it somewhere they "fix" it for it ...
