The car has jolted many times due to losing power and causing my neck to have a severe pinched nerve. These issues…

   The car starts smoking upon acceleration and the engine light comes on. It also has a lot of oil on top of the engine.

I've been told there was a recall and read online of a recall on the engine. However, I did not see a recall when I entered the VIN number on the national database.

    My reverse camera stays on for a few minutes after putting it in drive which is distracting. I keep looking down at the screen to see how long it takes to go out and back to my radio screen. The trunk randomly opens even when I am driving and then it won't open at all. The Bluetooth randomly cuts out while I am driving and talking on the phone which causes me to become distracted while driving. There is an issue when I put gas in the car as well. I have bought 2 gas caps,…
