- 2020 Toyota RAV4: coolant bypass valve (2 complaints) The maintenance light to bring to the Dealership keeps coming on can not clear even when cleared with a scanner and no codes come on.

- 2014 Nissan Pathfinder: engine stalls/shuts down while driving (5 complaints) I have a 2014 Nissan Platinum Pathfinder that has been great until the past three months.

Well worth the $$$ because the car is paid off and I did not want to purchase a car. .However, I found out there was a recall on the transmission for all 2013-2014 pathfinders.

So, he and I both, simultaneously looked at each other. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this (vibrating).BTW, a ... read more »
- 2019 Subaru Outback: doesn't respond to touch glitches severely driving (1 complaints) The system just decides to not work. I cannot connect to bluetooth or to apple carplay because the system will put my call on hold every 10 seconds. It doesn't acknowledge my finger or will glitch to a different screen without any warning. It's extremely distracting and ultimately be safe driving a 2012 vehicle with the tape blue tooth because I am essentially unable to use any handsfree device in my car. Subaru diminishes my issues and claims they need to diagnose the "radio" issues, but the screen controls my ... read more »

It appears rather frequently when I'd like to hear some music from my phone (tried with android and iphone both have this problem) and the cars navigation system tries to warn me about something or just general traffic news that cuts short the bluetooth/wifi signal it "stutters".
