Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)My engine has been malfuctioning over the following year. I've gotten repairs and it continues to do so. I'm asking for a recall.
My engine is acting up. According to the Auto Repair Shop they say that my car is suffering from Carbon Build Up which is affecting my engine. As well as the throttle body in the car. My car just keeps stopping to the point my engine refuses to start. So I decided to clean it myself only to no avail.
