Hi, I recently bought the car listed above it has the v4 engine option, and under two months I clocked almost two hundred miles without any issues, then went to the auto shop to have few little things changed, car remote, A/C control knob, and the dashboard screen. Because I felt the mileage was not bright enough and sometimes it flickers, after all this was changed, took it to a car painter for a new paint, the following morning I discovered that my car was starting perfectly, but then it was not accelerating nor moving, pressing the throttle down flat was having no effect. Then towed the car back to the automotive workshop, after running a diagnosis, they said it was a problem with the PCM that probably some wrong wiring have affected it. A couple of other PCM were brought it and none was working. Then the workshop decided to check and trace the whole wiring system of the vehicle, some faults were corrected and wires replaced as they said. Afterwards, the problem did not go away and yet another PCM I had to go get by myself still did not work. All this has been under a duration of about eight weeks, Contemplating on taking my car away from there but then I do not know the next thing to do or have an idea what is going on.

Take the car away if they can not fix it. By now they do not know what they are doing. Have fuel pressure checked and scan for codes at another shop. It can be an oddball thing but just sounds like they are putting you off.
