I am too and was told it was the camshaft position sensor, vehicle seems laggy and lurchy gear changes. Mine comes and goes, i am wondering if you are experiencing the same issues.
P0010 Code/Solution
The solution to codes P0010, P0011, P0013 & P0014 for a 2.4L engine:
Firstly, these two parts are covered by your 5 yr 100,000 mi powertrain warranty, if it hasn't expired.
Pull off the plastic engine cover. Find the two small cylinders just to the left of the #1 spark plug. Replace them both. They are called intake & exhaust camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoids (among other names). Autozone should carry the Dormans but I'm not sure they'll have the AC/Delcos (OEM). Just remove the hold-down bolts & pull up the cylinders. Put engine oil on the new o-rings & don't over-torque the bolts. The two are keyed differently (& have different part numbers) so you can't interchange them. Here's a how-to video:

If the CMP solenoids have been changed and still having accel issues check your maf sensor o2s air filter, dirty/worn out oil(dunno if you recently done oil change) check the tranny fluid level. If problem still persists, better find a shop who can identify and resolve the accel issue and hope they don't charge arm n leg + your first born... I'm having to change both CMP, oil nd Trans fluid all within a week starting tmrw
