| Description of the problem | These vehicles have an ongoing issue of having the cylinder 4 misfire. You can have the spark plug, spark plug wire, the coil pack, cylinder head valve, fuel injector, vacuum, shafts and everything else replaced and the check engine light will still come on saying that this cylinder is misfiring. I have heard and read many articles that say this is a common issue with these vehicles and everyone is surprised that there has not been a recall to repair this issue. At this point, your only option to to have a re-manufactured engine installed which can end up costing more than you owe on the car which many people cannot afford. How can you allow a vehicle to have this issue and not have a solution to fix it? This code appeared on march 2019 after a week of purchasing this vehicle. I have replaced every part that would cause this error code and the only option it to replace the engine. This is just not feasible as this is a common issue with this car and should be replaced. |
