Bought the thing used in September of 2020 with probably around 133k miles if I has to guess. On wide turns there has always been a glugging noise. Had to get the timing chain replaced and an oil leak fixed soon after but the dealership paid for those repairs. They knew about a motor mount needing to be replaced but didn't and it's out of warranty, so now it's just been put off.
It first stalled over a year ago but I just figured it was because it was very cold. Didn't happen again until recently.
It started when I replaced my cabin air filter. I guess I hit a fuse because 4 of my lights stopped working, including 3 turn signals and my glove box light. Changing the bulbs didn't work, so I figured I would take it to a mechanic when I had time. 30 minutes later, the car stalled on a turn to an uphill road. My mom drove it home and luckily we were close to home. I stopped driving it for a few days, then drove it 45 minutes one way with no issues. On the way back home, it stalled 3 times. Again, another 45 minute drive. It stalled on turns and while braking. When we would stall, we turned our hazards on, but since some of the turn signals are out, cars around us would start honking, not understanding that this car is only being held together by the stitching. I would get a new car but even crappy cars are over $14k, so I would rather just try to fix this piece of junk than have to make payments on a car that could also have issues. This has been so scary and inconvenient. I will never buy another American-made car again.
