What owners wrote

The car started to rattle and started to not be able to accelerate. I pulled the car to the side of a semi busy road and let it sit for a moment while turned off and then after 30 seconds turned the car back on. I started to drive the car and turned down a residential road (rothrock circle copley, oh) and that is when things got really bad.the car was in motion and started to act even stranger.

My car is having issues describing what is happening in the recall, the engine is louder than when I go out it sounds like you're knocking noise and I just got it in september. I need to speak with somebody about this since it's not listed on the recall
