Car shakes when idles as if it will turn off, but only sporadically. This started at 24,000 miles. Check engine light comes on throwing various codes. Dealer has put on new gas cap, gas seal, fuel pump, fuel canister and air flow regulator. Car still shaking, check engine light on again and after 11 times in the shop. . . Here we go again to the shop so they can check the code, put in on vacuum, drive it around and then tell me again it's all fixed. I am in a never ending loop of being inconvenienced with an unreliable brand new car. Dealer won't buy car back. . . Trade. . . Or guarantee a fix. I just pray after my warranty is over, I can still get it fixed.

Vehicle failed to start on several occasions. The first time at 28,214 miles. Had vehicle towed to dealer after hours. Vehicle started for them next day. Dealer suggested it was a sensor acting up but no code was recorded. When it happened the second and third times, I was able to trick it into started by removing several fuses and clearing the engine of excess fuel. Car would start. I read about this trick on the internet. Finally the check engine light came on and the vehicle began to run rough and was even harder to start. Took vehicle in at 59,038 to have crank position sensor replaced.
