Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My car idles up high often and the car will speed up on it's own. When at a complete stop it struggles to stay on. Sometimes it will cut off. It has shut off while driving as well. It jerks when taking off from a complete stop. After putting gas in the car it will not start immediately. I have to pump the gas pedal for a few seconds. It eventually starts. At Autozone I had a code test ran on it and it suggested EVAP system needed replacing. So, I took it to have it fixed. Precision Tune ran an additional test on my car, but there were no errors. They even checked for any recalls or repair issues posted online, but my car was not listed. They suggested I call the manufacturer. It still does it. I can also hear a scrubbing sound while backing up, but my brake pads are good. The brake light continues to pop on saying I need brake fluid. I had that checked and I do not need brake fluid. The engine light stays on. I get my car tuned on a regular basis. I've only had it for a soon to be year in June 2021. Also, there are times when the gas fumes are strong inside of the car while driving. I want to go on trips but i'm afraid it will shut off in the middle of the interstate.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY JUST SLOWS DOWN & STOPS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP, THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY FEEL LIKE ITS GOING INTO 'NEUTRAL' GEAR ON ITS OWN & I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE, SO AGAIN IM SLOWING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES.. IT GOES BACK INTO REGULAR DRIVE ON ITS OWN. SEEMS LIKE SOME SORT OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD SAYS 'TRANSMISSION FAULT, SERVICE NOW'. BUT I NEVER STARTED SEEING THIS MESSAGE UNTIL I GOT A DEAD BATTERY REPLACED.
