   Vehicle engine exploded in the middle of the night. Car would remote start on its own as I would lock the doors and walk away prior to the incident. Also the airbag light would come off and on. Notice the day of the incident that the dimmer would disappear and reappear. Very strange I thought. The house could've burned down while we were sleeping. If it wasn't for our neighbors and the quick response of those firefighters it could've possibly burned the house down while we…

   The cylinder 4 misfires. A leak down test was done by a mechanic and it failed. The entire cylinder head will have to be replaced. There are loads of people with this issue, and I know there was a recall at one point for certain years but the year 2014 was not included, neither was cylinder 4. There were warning signs such as shaking in the car when coming to a stop.

   No check engine warning, unpredictable no start, no crank. Physical well being of grandchild, others and self at risk due to high temperatures. This also puts stress on mental well being, how to fix, can I fix, the cost and constant worry of being stranded. Have not confirmed with dealer. Did have a shop review. Battery, alternator good, starter is new. Issue is sporadic and hard to duplicate, but happening daily. Research on internet shows this is common occurrence without…

    I was driving on I95 and the car completely shut down. The RPM went to 0. It started up again after about twenty minutes. I had the car repaired (throttle body replaced) and since that incident I have had this same thing happen four more times. The car seems to “resets” itself. I have had the throttle body replaced twice, the ignition control switch twice, the relay harness and then the relay redone. The van only does this periodically. The dealership had my van for six…

    My vehicle engine light came on. Error code P0302 detected. Private mechanic referred to dealership for repair. Dealership confirmed original diagonals. Engine issues consistent with NHTSA bulletins D-14-22, 18-069-16 and 09-002-14. As part of the bulletin vehicle warranties were extended for select vehicle years. My vehicle is under both the year and mileage extension however, does not “qualify” per dealership due to vehicle year not being listed on the bulletins.

    The engine light came on after replacing the front cylinder head and was illuminated before this repair. The engine has a constant clicking sound, and runs very rough and nearly to a stall constantly. The vehicle is using fuel at an alarming rate. The vehicle cannot be driven for any distance as the rpms are out of control when accelerating. Mechanics who have looked at the vehicle said this is a common problem with the 3.6 engine and will not be remedied easily. I was…
