Engine oil is pouring into coolant. Replaced engine oil cooler-ended up not being the problem. Sunroof will open and close by itself, and will not work when you try to do it yourself.

Intermittently while slowing down, the vehicle stalled without warning. The dealership was unable to locate an error code. The dealership wanted the consumer to inform them when the vehicle cut off again. They wanted him/her to leave it wherever it broke down so they could get and resolve the "error code". once the vehicle was started, the code was deleted.

The engine valves keeps breaking. The cd player keeps reading error. The right front fog light fell out of its socket. The steering wheel can not turn right or left without a struggle. Not to a dealership.
