Have had vehicle since 2018. For 2 years, I have had 3 cylinder misfires (with the last one about to happen at any moment) and my vehicle has stalled while driving (once on the freeway) about 8 times. I had to pull over each time to a complete stop. The vehicle stating "vehicle cannot change gears until stopped." once I turned off the engine, it takes about five minutes to restart the engine. The cylinder misfires always begin with aggressive jerking while vehicle is in motion. Lasting a few months, leading to aggressive shaking once misfired. On occasion, while vehicle is stopped, seat belt will also not buckle and in the last two years seat belt has also come unbuckled twice while vehicle is in motion.
