My car is missing/stuttering, the fuel gauge doesn't show the accurate miles to empty, and my car shuts off while I'm driving both locally and on the highway. I've almost been in two wrecks because the car keeps shutting off. When I put gas in the vehicle the car won't immediately crank. I have to try to crank it about 3 times before it starts. My car does a lot of the same things that are listed in recall # 18v735.
Brakes are erratic, often feels as if car may not brake in time then shudders on acceleration, slips, jerks, hesitates, suffers delayed accelerstion, delays in downshifting. Stalled just after turning at an intersection, engine simply did not switch on. Electrical circuit drained battery. Inaccurate fuel gauge indication / distance to empty, high fuel consumption.
Inaccurate distance to empty & inaccurate fuel gauge indicator. When I put gas in the car it won't start up at first, I have to recrank and reve up the engine. When I make turns or idle for too long, the battery light blinks and the car shudders, the battery is new. Also multiple diagnostic trouble codes (dtc) with illumination of check engine light.
