What owners wrote
Sitting idle on a driveway vehicle began to smoke and smell. Punched gas three times and each time huge white blue cloud of smoke pushed out. Smell of burning metal came with cloud of smoke. Took to dealership where they at first could not recreate the problem. After placing the vehicle on an incline and starting it up they too got the smoke, and not just from mine but from another on the lot.
Vehicle fails to start properly. Upon starting, vehicle gets stuck in turnover mode. Vehicle starts and shuts off within seconds. Vehicle is difficult to start. Vehicle is not included in recent recall of fuel pump relay.
