“I was driving using my paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel and I pressed the + shifter to upshift, but instead of going up to third gear the vehicle downshifted to first.

“2 weeks ago my car was tapping when I started it and last week it got louder. I took it to the dealership yesterday and today they said it was the camshaft: right side camshafts damage by worn out rockers and tappers. I get maintenance on my car when I am supposed to. I bought my car new. When I said how I was very disappointed about the car and that I get maintenance done when I supposed to so I don't see how this is happening and I was told it's normal in those cars.”

At this time I was in cruise control on a freeway that was ending, so I turned off my cruise control and then my car jolted forwarded as if it were in a very low gear and almost caused me to crash. …”

The lights on the gear shift began flashing red, the wipers began operation even though they were off. The key fobs would no longer work. I had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer, which stranded me 4 hours from home in 0 degree weather. The dealer could not get to it for 3 days and when they did- it started with no problem and no code errors came up. …”
