Love this vehicle but only had 1 year and having issues. Service light came on. Oil level was low. Took to the shop. Said it was an oil leak, replaced valve cover, cost me$2700. Hopefully that’s fixed.
Recently the car started running different. Rough. Jerks a little while driving at low speeds like a parking lot. Today while driving, I was slowing down, coming to a traffic light, and the car almost turned off before even coming to a full stop. As if it’s going to cut off. Oddly it doesn’t really do this if the auto start/stop is off. I noticed while the auto start stop is on, it has been turning the car off way more frequently and sometimes before I even get totally stopped. Even the door locks are acting weird. I’m clueless. Is there a sensor, brake issue, battery? Any help is greatly appreciated Last edited by AllNewMe; 04-10-2024 at 06:32 AM.. |

The first thing I'd look at is the car's battery. Most modern cars, these not excluded, are very sensitive to voltage. Numerous systems can/are adversely affected when voltages are off, & many times they only have to be off just a touch to cause havoc.
Get a multi-meter & check the battery standing voltage then check things with the car running to see if your alternator is putting out.

Thank you for responding!!
I took it to an advanced auto, they ran the test and stated both the battery and alternator were good. I wish I were knowledgeable. I’m clueless. |

YouTube coupled with the forums like this one will get you at a decent base level of car knowledge in no time if you'd like to learn as you go.
