In 2015, a coil went out and caused the engine light to come on and off. The car still ran great at times but periodically misfired and completely broke down at one point. I later learned it was a coil that was going bad.
In 2016, the engine overheated. Mechanic replaced the thermostat. 2 weeks later it overheated again. Blown head gasket. This was in combination with a leaking condenser, bad coil, need to replace spark plugs, ignition failure, right after I just replaced the battery. Total to fix it is over $4k and that is IF the engine does not need to be replaced. There are also known transmission issues for this year's model.
I've LOVED this car so much. It has been everything I needed. Sadly, it's time to let it go.
