I was having trouble getting it started, it sounded as if it wasn't getting gas. It stalled out on me before I could get it in gear. I ended up having to call for a ride. It sat for 5 hours and then when it started, the engine was revving really high. It sounded like I was stepping on the accelerator. After a few more days the same thing happened. I brought it to the dealer and had to pay for the diagnostic test because they couldn't find a thing wrong with it.

After about 2 weeks I was having the same problem and this time I was having a difficult time getting it started. Sometimes it would take 15 minutes to get the thing started. The "Check Engine" light came on but turned off by the time I got it to the dealer.

They took a guess as to what the problem was and replaced the throttle body. I went to pick it up after they had it for 3 days and the stupid thing wouldn't start for me at the dealer! I was able to talk to the service manager and they finally decided to replace the fuel pump. It has been 3 weeks now since they replaced the fuel pump, it's starting and running but I'm not certain that it's actually fixed.
