Got the car in OCT 2015 45,000 miles; failed to shift properly (got transmission flushed) and had reduced power. I went to five different mechanics over the next 100,000 miles and none could find anything wrong, including the dealer in Des Moines IA. I went to Pep Boys for diagnostic - exhaust was plugged so bad the pipe to the catalytic converter had a hole blown thru it, and it was using a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Exhaust system replaced April 2019, along with new spark plugs and fuel system cleaner. Similar problems started again in Oct 2019, by January 2020 top speed was 55, February 2020 used exhaust cleaner, cleared the problem for a week, now top speed is 35 to 45 depending on wind and incline.
