Filed Dec 9, 2018 · Driver assistance, Engine · 201,000 miles · TN

Stability traction control light keeps coming on while in motion. With major oil consumption problems. Just in regular driving I've had transmission, and rear differential work done fixed the problem for a few months now back again with flashing check engine light. Saying cylinder 6 misfiring. I've already sunk in over 4k in this after buying it last year in dec.of 2017. After reading comments this really should be a recall. With so many of the same concerns and complaints that have been listed.

Engine started idling rough and the 'engine light' came on and stayed on.then the next day, went to start car and it was really idling rough, sputtering, then stablitrak light and 'traction control off' light and ABS lights all came on. The car felt like it was going to die until about 20 MPH, then made a jerking motion and ran fine. This continued to happen until I took it to the shop. They kept it for a week, replaced the fuel pump, but this did not fix the problem. The car still runs rough and the lights still come on whenever I have to idle, intersections, etc... I have been reading and I am concerned that there is no fix for this problem. I believe it is a faulty engine/electrical issue and there needs to be a recall. This is completely dangerous, if my stabilitrak system goes off and I am on unstable ground, rain, snow, etc... It will cause my car to brake and I will loose control of my car. I am worried that it is going to die in an intersection, since it has a hard time coming out of an idle with any power.

Vehicle torque converter slips / disengages on inclines causing the vehicle to roll backwards after trying to proceed after a stop. Must be on the gas simultaneously with coming off the brake to prevent rolling backwards into cars or people. Happens in drive, third and first. Transmission locks in second. Torque converter also slips while at idle in gear causing a rough idle situation.
