What owners wrote
Was backing up on a driveway and was next to a car and apparently was closer than I thought and hit the car because my side detection system is not operating and no sensors or warning sounds went off. 'service side detection system' is on my dash.
I was traveling on the highway at about 70 MPH in the left lane and the engine began to sputter like it was going to stall. It dropped my speed to 60 without warning. I had a vehicle behind me going the same speed and had to quickly move to the right to avoid getting hit. The check engine light came on and the traction control / stabilitrac turned off. Brought it to the dealer and they told me I was using the wrong gas. They cleaned carbon out of the intake valves.
