There’s an open recall for my year and engine but have not received a recall letter and zero recalls show open. My car as a grinding noise when accelerating slowly and the engine power is very low when accelerating fast and almost red lines at 30 miles per hour but eventually catches up and goes to normal. Also while driving it feels the car is sucking fumes at times with a full tank of fuel.

After shopping, I attempted to start my car and received the "ENGINE MALFUNCTION Reduced Power, Service Now" warning. Thankfully, I was not driving when this happened, as the car had no power to move! It is currently in the dealership, where they state it is an EGR valve -- on a vehicle with less than 11,000 miles on it. Had I been on the highway and this happened - no power -- I only hope I could have coasted to the roadside without being hit!
