| Description of the problem | There were some parts recalled, which i has replaced at 20,000 miles. At 23,000 miles on a trip the engine light came on and the engine began to sputter as if not getting enough gas or as if the timing was off. This issue happens intermittently, even after returning car to dealership for 4 days after which they couldn't find a problem. While out of town on a trip the engine light and sputtering continues. I have always brought my car to the dealership every 5,000 miles of oil change/maintenance. Now at 24,400 miles i'm hesitant about driving a car i purchased brand new. |
