Consumer Description

WHEN ACCELERATING MY VEHICLE IS SLOW TO TAKE OFF WITH MAX SPEEDS OF ONLY 50 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND 30 MPH CITY. I HAVE PRESSED THE GAS ALL THE WAY AND CAR IS STILL LAGGING. THE CEL STAYS ON AND THE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSTIC CODES ARE READ P0722 WHICH IS TRANS OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR U1146 WHICH IS A COMMUNICATION ERROR P0717 WHICH IS INPUT SPEED SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL P0700 WHICH IS TRANSAXLE CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND P0712 WHICH IS TRANS FLUID TEMP SENSOR LOW INPUT. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO PERFORM A TCM SOFTWARE UPDATE AND ITS STILL DOING THE SAME THING EVEN AFTER THE CODES WERE CLEARED. NOW A CODE IS READ THAT HAS TO DO WITH A LARGE EVAP LEAK. AM I BEING STEERED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION SO THAT THE DEALER CAN AVOID HONORING THE FACTORY RECALL OF THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE/FUEL PUMP RELAY NHSTA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V528000. MY SPECIFIC VIN DID NOT SHOW UP AS BEING RECALLED BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MY ISSUE CAN BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED. PLEASE HELP.
