Got off work started car and drove 30 mins home in the rain. Not a problem no issues happening at all drove great. I get home park in my parking spot and I’m sitting there for about 5 mins. All of a sudden the car starts shaking. Off and on. I’m like uh okay I see the Rpms bouncing between 1,000-2,000. I try to give it gas it barely does anything like it has no power. I end up Turning my car off and then trying to start it. It starts but sputters and shakes and immediately turns off. This happens over 7 times when I try. I leave it be for about 30 mins and I go back out to it. It ends up starting but it’s shaking very bad to the point where the engine is completely bouncing up and down in the bay. I turn the car off again. And leave it be. I call a tow truck and get it scheduled to get dropped off at the dealership.
After about an hour I go back out and I get it to start again this time the car is running fine no issues nothing I keep turning on and off not a problem. Seems fine still continue to get it towed to the dealership. It’s there for a day and a half they looked over everything and driven multiple times no problems at all. They finally tell me I can come pick up my car they found no issues and that my car is running to its full design. I go pick it up it’s not raining it starts and drives fine. I drive it around the block for about 3 mins and go in put it in park all of a sudden the car automatically turns off but is still on just the engine isn’t on message on the dash states engine stopped steering power low. I take it back they have no idea what’s going on. And to bring it back if it happens again.
