What owners wrote

Car was parked in front of our house and combusted in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. Car was exploding and engulfed in flames...completely destroyed via fire and the worst damage was in the engine compartment. Cause of the fire is unknown although based on research sounds like NHTSA campaign #14v007000 or 14v152000. Fire department extinguished the fire and police were on the scene.

Reported at 72,800 miles, December 2019 Fire

When sitting at a light, or stop sign vehicle acts as if it wants to cut off, check engine light is flashing, when I'm driving vehicle the check engine light stays lit. I did a scan of the vehicle and the code I got was p0303 which is for a cylinder 3 misfire. I have changed out the spark plugs and wires, also the ignition coil. I changed out the fuel injector for cylinder 3 and also the fuel pump actuator.
