1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/24/2025

My shifter is messing up again recall u4 I believe and my its a recall on my vehicle ive had this vehicle for 2 years they stated the previous owner already had repaired but im imforming them I am still having the issue my car will literally stop going in the middle of the highway. Ive almost been close to getting in a accident and all everyone can say is it has already been repaired but I want them to understand that it may was repaired but it wasnt done correctly because something is wrong with my shifter/trasmission and electrical system. Which are both two valid recalls that I have. My shifter just blinks out of nowhere and just will stop at any moment. If the person behind me wasnt paying attention I couldve died or been harm seriously due to this keep happening while I am driving on the highway.

2 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2025

One day after driving home from work there was a message that says low battery voltage on the instrument panel, then it went away. No other warning lights or problems. Ten more miles down the road the message says battery saver mode, reduced functions and then the car started to smoke, I am freaked out at this point praying to make it home safely. I arrive home and pull into driveway and then turn engine off and let it cool. Lift the hood and coolant has sprayed and spewed all over the engine compartment and is significantly reduced. Now parked, engine off the shift lights are still on and navigation panel and radio won't turn off. I had to unplug the battery completely and manually lock the car. The next day I replace the battery, check coolant, and allow car to warm up. No warning lights or messages. Then I start to drive and less than ten min, battery saver mode again, reduced function and power then engine smoking again, coolant spraying under hood and I have no idea what's wrong. Could it be the alternator, everything is still factory parts. Never happened when I changed the battery in 2022. This is scary.

10 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2017

Issue #1 vehicle loses all power while stationary on a city street with no indication or warning. This has happened twice while waiting to enter the intersection. The car turns off completely and says to place car in park. Issue #2 this issue always occurs while accelerating from a stationary state; vehicle jumps with little pressure on gas, then power dips down, then back up over and over. The car resembles a bucking rodeo horse when this happens. It has happened several times while making a left hand turn across oncoming traffic and is a safety issue in that a power dip in the middle of an intersection inhibits the cars ability to clear an intersection safely.
