It now affects my headlights by making them flash on and off while driving. The car has been in and out of the shop for the past year and no one can seem to find the issue. There is a past time device installed which interfered with the security system. The dealership took…

Several times while in motion, the dash lights blink and power is lost. Sometimes it will continue to run and sometimes it will not move. On other days it runs just fine. There are no codes that flash and the check engine light does not stay on except for when the dash lights are flashing. A simple search will verify with many other people that this is happening alot. It is not the fuel tank problem. It happens…

I have complained on this vehicle multiple times now. It continues to have a randomly stalling engine while driving. The dealership claims it is not the gas tank. It has finally started causing the check engine light to come on (yay! It might actually get fixed). Just kidding! The dealership states that the codes that show up are general pcm codes that mean nothing. From online research, it appears it may be an…

My dash lights and gauges inside all flicker off and on and drop to zero. The car feels like it looses power, it's very dangerous to drive and nobody seems to have a fix. For it, not a definitive answer. My out side lights would flicker on and off as well, but i replaced my light switch and it feels like this is just a temporary fix.

I got my fuel tank replaced under warranty (new fuel tank & o-ring part #s: cnstx531aa and cnstx532aa) and now stalling is worse than before. Engine wants to stall anywhere from 0-30 mph now whether the tank is full, half empty or near empty. The car's stalling can be prevented by providing quick acceleration, which will temporary fix the issue, only to have it come back later. The choice between stalling at high…
