Engine misfires when accelerating to speed. Dealer found one bad coil but I was advised to replace all 4 coils and plugs because the others coils were going to failure shortly. After the repair car's performance and gas mileage dropped and on long trips the milages and performance continues to fall the longer to run. Mpg drops by 10. No fault codes found. Engines run rough at 70 mph and burn rich.

My 2010 Cc started fine. Within 1/2 mile I noticed a shimmy, I thought maybe it was a flat tire. Then I noticed a horrible smell along with heavy white smoke coming from my exhaust. Code reader stated the camshaft sensor was bad and caused misfire to 1 and 2 spark plugs. Purchased the sensor and new spark plugs with no solution. Per a GM mechanic, the head is warped or cracked or the gasket is bad. I have had this vehicle for 9 months. I am the second owner and it has 53000 miles, but I also paid good money and to have to spend $1200 on this is bs.

After traveling at 70mph the vehicle begin to putter, shortly after the vehicle just shut off. I had it inspected and was not able to duplicate the issue. Finally after a day and a half the problem arose again but no solution.
