Vehicle was OK for short distances even 2 hour drives one way for almost two years, got new job distance is 89 miles one way. Vehicle began to stall while in motion and in idle. Very dangerous. Taken to dealer for ignition recall, and stalling. Dealer charged $128.00 for Diagnostic?? Then charged $312.50. While waiting for 4 weeks for ignition Recall parts and "ignition coil" repair. However they did provide a rental. Though the rental company charged $150.00 refundable deposit. Four weeks later upon receipt of vehicle I was not charged the original diagnostic. OK, that's cool of them but the $312.50 for an "Ignition Coil" that was allegedly backing out of the fuse box etc. That sucks.

Then Drove 76 miles and vehicle stalled 3 times while at gas station "luckily", but unluckily in the desert. Called dealer and they provided tow. Though my Insurance only covered 25 miles. Dealer got stuck with $297 tow bill, and they got me back in a rental. Another few days goes by and they say it's my "ignition coil" backing out of the fuse box again. So they ordered parts and still won't be ready for a few more days. Contacted a lemon lawyer, if this 2nd "Repair/Recall" doesn't work. It's on. BTW, the staff has been very rude and condescending. Screw you guys, don't put out a bad product.
