What owners wrote
I gave the car fuel throttle and it stalled then died on the freeway. After being struck by another car from behind, the car started fine and still runs perfect. No check engine light. My research suggest the PCM on these cars are faulty.
The morning of july 5, 2013 I started my car and all the dash lights came on. It had done this once before but only for a second and then all was fine.this time they didn't turn off and when I started to drive it was making "whining" noise. I called the dealership and told them what was going on. They told me to drive to the dealership right away. They called later that afternoon to tell me it was the alternator was bad and causing a short. Since the car was past 36,000 miles it's not covered under warranty!
