Hey everyone. So this has been becoming a habit with my car lately. After coming back from a 2400 mile road trip about a month ago, I got the warning telling me to "Service emission system" with the countdown "175 miles until 65MPH max speed". I had about 100 miles to go and made it home okay, and then brought the car into a dealer in Norfolk, VA. They had pulled code p24c6 (DPF) and said that NOX sensor was not responding. While replacing the DPF it broke off in the exhaust and told me that now I had to pay for a new exhaust so that they could reinstall everything, lucky me! Additionally, I had some bolts that rusted through on the SCR/Cat so they go me for that too. Add an oil change and fuel filter the total was over 1500 bucks.
After having the car for about two weeks, they called me to tell me it’s done. I pick it up, go and buy some DEF blue to add to the tank since the DEF light popped on (it said I still had 7% in the tank when I dropped it off) and on the way home, and the same warning comes up so I call them back and they tell me to drive it on the highway for a while, and if that doesn't clear the code to bring it back. So after a 70 mile trip there’s no change and I drop it off again the next day. They said that they regen'd the car again, added some more DEF and told me it was good to go again. I picked it up last night and it seemed fine. No CEL and it ran like normal.
This morning on my way to work I remote started the car, it warmed up for about 10 minutes and I drove into work. It's only about a 10 minute trip to work, and about a mile out, the same "Service emission system" warning came on with the countdown "175 miles until 65MPH max speed" came on again. This is becoming frustrating, especially since I'm supposed to make that same 2400 trip the beginning of next week to take the kids home.
Has anyone else had these issues with their CTDs? The only issues I’ve had since new were the AC and heat repeatedly going out and an O2 sensor a few years back. With my trip coming up on Monday this has been a real PITA. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
