NHTSA Complaint #11162686 — 2013 SCION FR-S

MY CAR IS ROUGHLY 85K MILES RIGHT NOW. AT 20K MILES A CEL LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAMSHAFT AND TIMING CHAIN. UNDER WARRANTY, THE COST OF THAT WAS $2500. AT 60K MY CAR STARTS MISFIRING, ROUGH IDLING AND EVEN STALLING SOMETIMES. I GET IT SERVICED AGAIN. AT 82K MY CAR RECEIVED ANOTHER CEL STATING THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAM SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (ACCORDING TO THE DEALER). ONLY THIS TIME IT COST ME OUT OF POCKET - $2500. MY CAR IS NOW AT 86K. ANOTHER CEL POPPED UP. ROUGH IDLING. WEIRD KNOCK NOISE. STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE MOVING 3 TIMES!!!!! VERY DANGEROUS! SPARK PLUGS AND OIL CHANGES WERE DONE BEFORE THIS. I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND IT HAS NOT EVEN REACHED 100,000 MILES YET. I'VE RESEARCHED AND ALMOST EVERY 2013 MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE RESEARCHED ABOUT VALVE SPRINGS AND HOW IT CORRELATES TO THE CAMSHAFT AND PISTONS AS WELL HOW IT OPERATES. BROKEN VALVES WILL CAUSE MISFIRE AND WILL CAUSE ENGINE PROBLEMS- MISFIRE, ROUGH IDLE, STALLING. EVERY SYMPTOM MY CAR HAS HAD INDICATED THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG INTERNALLY AND MY 100% CORRECT GUESS IS TOWARDS THE VALVE SPRINGS. I'VE READ THAT THERE IS A RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM YET MY VIN DOESN'T INDICATE THAT THERE IS. EVEN THOUGH THE PRODUCTION OF MY VEHICLE FALLS IN THE THRESHOLD OF THE RECALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. ALMOST HAD TWO CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE STALLING ON ME. IT'S UNFAIR HOW COSTLY THIS IS WHEN THIS ISN'T THE ONLY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SITUATION. ARE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT TO ACCUR BEFORE TAKING ACTION? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
