1. Currently on My 2nd PCM and 4th set of coils and plugs. I was driving My car a few months ago and it started struggling to stay running and the engine light started flashing and after about 2 minutes the car completely shut down. Bought All new coils and Plugs to find out that the pcm was just popping them. Replaced the Pcm and Coils and plugs and Now My car is sitting due to the same problem with the PCM and coils. 2. About a Year ago, I Pulled into the Gas station and when I got back into my car it wouldn't start. After days of Mechanic work I was told that the wiring harness that powers the fuel pump were melted. Which could have very easily caught My car on fire while I was inside. 3. 6 months ago My power Steering went out for the 1st time because of the bolt on the pully and happened again 3 months ago. How are these things not recalled!!?? I've seen a ton of complaints!

I was driving home from campus and my suspension started acting up. It started firing up and down and fluctuating a lot. I had to pull off the highway and take backroads. It was still acting up the entire time. The "check engine" light and "wrench" light both came on simultaneously. I could barely go over 35 MPH without the RPM flaring up past 5000 and it felt like my whole engine was going to give out. Even when I was going 20-25 MPH, it felt and sounded like I had the pedal to the floor. The aaa guy who towed my car said that I had the same transmission part number as a 2010, which got recalled for faulty transmissions. My car only has 40,000 miles on it so there is no way I should be having issues with the transmission unless the part is faulty or it is something I am unaware of.

While driving at low speeds the car has on several occasions surged forward and last week after starting the car the gas pedal was unresponsive and the "wrench" warning light came on. I restarted it and it seemed to be ok but the check engine light was on. I plugged in a code reader and it gave me error codes p2104 and p2112. I can't believe this isn't part of a recall based on the number of people it is affecting.
