| Description of the problem | I was driving about 30 mph when it felt like the car was going to die/stall. My vehicle has only 30k on it and actually sat at home two years after i bought it while i work from home. Nevertheless it felt like the engine was going to stall out like i had no gasoline. This issue started out intermittent, but progressed and i could feel shaking from the floor boards. I took it into the dealer and they replaced some ball bearings under warranty. However about a month later the same problem starting occurring. This time the check engine light came on. I took it into the dealer and they said the spark plugs and the coil pack were bad. This part is supposed to last about 100k. It was out of warranty so we took it somewhere else to get it fixed. It has been fixed a few weeks and it feel like the same problem is happening again. The car does not shift well at low speeds and seems to almost stall out while turning corners. Also it is idling at a higher rpm than it had several months ago. |
