Ever since I bought the car back in April 2022, it has been in the dealer for intermittent check engine lights due to problems with the engine and transmission. The car would go on a limp mode especially when driving on a highway at steady speed. It would rattle, slow down or will not accelerate even when pressing the gas. This happened to me multiple times and it’s a major safety concern. After multiple attempts at repairing and installing a new engine and transmission, the issue has not been

Vehicle was driving down the highway in early April of 2025 when the engine showed a sudden loss of power and diminished performance with misfires and rough running. Thankfully I was able to pull to the side of the highway before automobiles behind me rear-ended the vehicle after such a sudden loss in driving speed. it was later determined that at roughly 56,000 miles, the automobile suffered a cracked intake valve on cylinder 2, which fell into the engine.

The Power Transfer Unit(PTU) failed catastrophically at the rear pinion. This is available for inspection until it is repaired. This could have caused a major crash, at the time I was on the interstate only going 30-40mph and was able to get to the shoulder. But if I had been going faster there was a possibility of me pole-vaulting. Unknown The component is currently being inspected by the dealer. It wasn’t involved in a crash so the police/ insurance aren’t inspecting it. There were no

I was driving and the vehicle car stalled it said gear box defect and switched from reverse to drive to neutral but would not move. I think this is dangerous since my car was already in drive and suddenly stalling could've caused an accident. Luckily there was no car behind me or it would have rear ended me.
