Hi folks,
I've complained about the regens of my car on here before but it's getting pretty annoying now. In the past when it would regen, I would definitely feel hesitation (really more a pulsating) when driving at low RPMs during regen (i.e. driving around 35-40mph.. it seems to put the transmission at a point where the RPMs are low and a lot of speed limits around here are around there so I'd sit at that speed for a while). I thought this hesitation was normal but in the past it seemed like nobody else was having it. I just kind of let it go. Now, I regen 3-4 times a tank. That alone is annoying but dealing with the hesitation on top of it is really annoying. I brought it to one dealer who said the emissions system seems to be working right. I spoke with GM and they are having me bring it to someone else this week. The second dealer does not seem too optimistic they will find anything because there are no error codes. Any ideas of where I can point the dealer? I'm pretty sure the first dealer just looked at the emissions system as opposed to maybe considering the emissions is fine but something else is wrong is that is causing more soot. One thing I have found a little weird is the pipe between the airbag and the turbo is damp on the outside. I would not call it wet, but it looks damp and you get the grime on your fingers when touch it.
Anyways, any ideas would be a huge help. 55k miles and I've already had two other emissions issues with this car. I really like the car, but I'm getting ready to ditch it if this doesn't get solved soon because I just need something more reliable. This latest issue has really going on since the Spring too.
