Initially the engine failed and the car lost power, in traffic, during a turn. The car would not restart immediately, and the electronic message center indicated there was "no malfunction" occurring. Upon arrival at my destination the engine failed after being placed in park, as I considered backing into the driveway. The dealer has inspected the car at least 4 times on 3 different days, and can offer no explanation for this defective performance.
There is an old recall campaign for the camshaft seal, # 2009100001. This car is among those affected by this problem and should be covered for issues and repairs.
