I sent you a pm to give me a call. I think I can solve your issue.

 

I have the same issue, what is your solution?


It is very easy for you to assume we're getting our panties in a tangle about this issue yet you are not experiencing what we are. The power is not there. The best way to describe it is that you step on the gas and at the same time the brakes are being applied. Don't make accusations without even having the car in question. Hopefully it doesn't happen to you when you get yours.

 

You do not have any helpful advice for us. Please complain elsewhere. We don't need you in here. Thanks...

I have sent PM's to three individuals. Since each case may be different I would prefer to work with each one individually until a pattern presents itself. To make a blanket statement as to "this is the exact issue is premature". In fact there may be no issue as it can be caused by a number of things. I have offered help and if and when an exact cause presents I will be happy to share it with you. Because there may be an issue and there may not be.

 

its confusing. u want to have traction so ur tires stick to the round so u can launch better with no spin, yet comp mode turns it off and gives u more power but no traction which makes u ease into the 1st gear. gay lol

 

I was under the impression that even though it shows that traction control is off on the dash light, it still controls a lot of the traction when using launch control. ??? I thought it was designed to apply as much power to the ground with as little slip as possible. I may be wrong :-/

Jake - go **** yourself.

I wasn't complaining...merely stating another possibility. I've seen the group mentality bug run wild on automotive forums before, to the point where everyone thought their cars would blow up and it was based on bullshit.

Ah, some common sense comes into the thread...

 

The current status of my offer goes like this. Zero, Nada, not 1 individual complaining of an issue has contacted me yet and some of them had a PM with a support offer from me earlier this week.

Makes you go HUM don't it.

 

How about a long distance call to Michigan to start a conversation that could take a long while I would've called you anyway but I got the car back yesterday. Read on please.

I picked it up from the dealer and this is what the techs wrote on the status sheet:

================================================== =======
COMPLAINT: Turbo system not functioning right. Customer feels lack of power (MJ)

CAUSE: Road tested vehicle with customer. Verified complaint. There is a lack of boost power after shifting into 2nd gear on full throttle. Was unable to locate any loose clamps or leakage at the turbo. Road tested vehicle overnight. Drove on HWY and seemed to be clearing up. Possible might be part of the breaking process. Customer to continue driving until becomes more prominent. Possibly will correct itself.

CORRECTION: No repair at this time.
================================================== =======

I took the car back yesterday and it drove just as well as when I was breaking it in. It is now at 1200kms (I drove it a lot). I really can't say anything else about it, it is driving perfectly. If anything changes I will post immediately.

 

You're Nice

My problem doesn't exist anymore. Once I hit about 700 miles I stoped having issues. Thank you VERY much for the offer! If the problem arises again, I will definitaly be in contact with you. I really don't want to have to deal with the local GM dealership on this one. It's a small dealership, which is sometimes a good thing, but in this case it is not. The mechanics are mindless. I have had many problems with them while dealing with my truck.

 

You told me to go away...and that my experience was crap.

 

Ya, I'm an idiot most of the time so I don't blame.... I apologize. The group mindset thing is true.

Isn't that nuts??? We both had the same weird occurance around the same time and then it disappears.

 

OK guys i can accept that. I just want to make sure if your having an issue it gets the proper attention. I am working with one individual on his issue as we speak.

If your issue returns PM me.

 

Are you onsite at the Tech Center or MPG by chance?

 

Ya, it's crazy. Part of the break in process I guess. We seem to be the only ones **** enough to complain about it. Or we are pushing our cars too hard too early :-/. Anyway, the car is running great now. I want an intake and I hope that GM comes out with some stage kits. This car is a lot of fun!

 

its def the gas...... i have 1800 miles on my car
i have had 91 and 93 in it on a very long trip 600 miles and 600 back, the 91 seems to require a speed shift to pull full boost in what ever gear follows

side note i get 37 mpg @ 70 mph with 91
30 mpg @ 70 mph with 93

 

sspdmon
affirmative.

 

Right...

 

We may have to grab lunch some day. I'm over in the Cadillac building.

 

I had the same issue as described this morning. I haven't noticed it before because I haven't driven in hard at all for the first 600 miles.

Today, I was in second and then floored it.. The car started to accelerate, then stopped accelerating. Almost felt like it was going to stall. I was not very happy

 

thanks for your help. car is fixed. I would def. recom calling this guy. he knows his sh*t.

 

Give it a couple of days, keep giving the car some throttle and see if it goes away like it did with ours. Mine is driving perfectly, the problem lasted under 48 hours. Let us know what happens!

 

There are two distinct issues that can cause this issue. GM Technical assistance now knows what the deal is. Because it could be one or the other I recommend that you take it in if it is a consistant reoccuring issue and ask them to call TAC about it. At this time thats where it stands. ON some cars it shows its face and goes away and never returns. On some it shows up and stays until one of the two possibilitys is corrected. Unfortunatly there is no blanket answer like "fix this it will go away" Because it could be 1 of 2 issues or it maybe a fuel contamination issue. The service issue identified are for radical boost control issues

If your not using premium fuel that can also cause issues. If you take your car in for this issue make sure it has premium fuel in it and it is a reproducable issue.

Vernon if you want to pass on what was done to yours thats your perogative, because in all reality your issue has a simple solution that can be done in the driveway

 

Please do...
