Consumer Description
THE ENGINE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS ISSUES WITH THE CYLINDERS AND MISFIRES. THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED LAST YEAR AND WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES. THE DEALER COULD REPLICATE THE ISSUE AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 55 MPH WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD MISFIRE AND CAUSE A LACK OF POWER. HOWEVER DUE TO A LACK OF ENGINE CODES THEY COULD NOT BEGIN TO SOLVE THE ISSUE AS TO WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING. LAST WEEK THE ISSUE BECAME WORSE AND RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY THERE IS NOW A CODE FOR THE ENGINE ISSUE SO WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE CYLINDER MISFIRES AND IT CAN NOW BE FIXED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR DRIVERS AS THERE CAN BE A DISCERNIBLE ENGINE PROBLEM THAT CAN NOT BE DIAGNOSED BY GM'S DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT UNTIL THERE SUCH A LOSS OF POWER RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
