When accelerating to merge into traffic or left turns the car has no power, it hesitated. The tachometer would rev up but the car hesitated to speed up to a point I was nearly rear ended three times and being at end of road rage. When slowing for a traffic light and then accelerating the car also bogged down. Car has been to dealership over dozen past three years off and on get this issue resolved but told every time that it me and there is nothing wrong with it and I should drive as if I stole it. Dealership has replaced valve body in the transmission to no joy. Now the hesitation has gotten worst that car bogged down on the highway and engine will rev up with no gaining of speed and litres/ 100 km would remain very low. Service managers tell me I don't know what I talking and if there is no code then there is issue with vehicle.
The hesitation is going kill someone but no one wants to take it seriously at Dealership or by GM. They don't see it being an issue because if it doesn't produce a code the problem doesn't exist. My family doesn't want to even drive within the vehicle of being afraid. I will quote both service managers and GM consumer service "if there is no code then we can not repair".
When accelerating to merge with traffic the car had no power, it hesitated. The tachometer would rev up but the car hesitated to speed up. Also when slowing for a traffic light and then accelerating the car also bogged down then. Of course no codes was present at the dealer but they found sludge in the throttle body. They said they removed and cleaned the throttle body. This did help for the time being with this problem.
