I CHANGED THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR BECAUSE IT GAVE ME AN ERROR CODE SINCE MY CAR WAS TAKING TOO LONG TO TURN OVER. THAN THE SLIP AND VFC OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR WOULD JERK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND IT WOULD JUST STOP COMPLETELY. THAN I CHANGED A COIL AND THE OIL. NOW THE OIL IS COMPLETELY EMPTY WITHIN 2 WEEKS. AND I'M CONSTANTLY PUTTING GAS AND IT'S LIKE THE GAGE DOESN'T WORK. BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S COMPLETELY FULL AND THE GAGE WILL READ HALF TANK. NOW IT'S GIVING ME ANOTHER CODE AND SAYING THERE IS A MISFIRE. IF I TURN THE AC ON THE SHAKING IS WORSE AND IT SMELLS HORRIBLE.
DASHBOARD / PANEL IS MELTING AND BUBBLING
REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR PROBLEM. WE HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DOOR NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN. THERE WERE TIMES THAT WE HAD OUR 7 MONTHS OLD DAUGHTER ON THAT SIDE AND WE COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR. WE CAN HEAR IT CLICKS BUT NOT OPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF ALL DOORS CAN'T BE OPEN BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY ACTUATORS!
