Short story, had the car, a 2016 forte5 SX for a year and a half. Runs great, decent fuel mileage. Got in a mostly cosmetic collision in october. Took it to the collision center. a week later i'm told the washer fluid reservoir is on back order for a month, and the can't release the car without it. Annoying, but it happens. they provided a loaner vehicle for the duration at least. A month later i'm told the part should be in the next day or so. 3 days later i get the call that the part is on back order another month... wonder if they ordered the wrong part? Any way, Dec 22 i get the car back.
Headlights are pointing all over the place, but the bodywork is good. A few days later i start it in the cold, and go back inside to let it warm up, and i hear it banging and stumbling, the roar up to 2200 rpm, an settle down to a stumbly idle. Car has ~36K Km's on it
next cold start i record it, same deal. start it, runs normalish for almost exactly a minute, CEL comes on, rpms drop below 200, engine bangs and shakes the whole car a couple times, screams up to 2200 rpm and levels off again. OBD shows misfires on all the cylinders.
Take it to the dealer with the CEL still on, they disappear into the back for a few hours, come back and tell me nothing is wrong, maybe some water in the fuel lines. Ran some water remover in the next tank, seemed better. unit a month later it does it again. Fuel consumption is ridiculous at this point. 1/2 tank, 20 ish liters to drive 180 km of 90% highway driving. thats over 11L/100km. Last winter it was in the high 7's low 8's on the highway.
Go back to dealer, but the CEL had turned itself off at this point, they tell me "light not on, can't do anything" they literally do nothing, not even pop the hood and send me off.
Any idea what's going on, or why the dealer won't do anything?
