After the recall was corrected, the engine light came on two months later. I noticed the car will not accelerate and now will not start. The engine rumbles on the occasion that it does start.

Car lost speed on going uphill. Took car to dealer and they found nothing related. I am concerned about this recall. The length of time it has taken to repair and the fact that they do not know how to repair these piston rings.
