Not the first time either! After losing 2 cylinders to this problem, each costing $1,500 to get fixed, the third one is now down. The car goes in for regular maintanence, but they claim it's not a manufacturer's defect and won't cover it under warranty. Also recently spent $1,000 to get the car fixed from another engine problem just 6 months ago. Why do they not find the problems before hand? stupid stealerships
