Hi guys was hoping I could get some input from you all. Besides maybe getting in a wreck, one of the most unfortunate things has happened.
Just a forewarning this post is way to long and probably full of many, many unnecessary details. But I’m still pretty upset with the whole situation so its cathartic just writing it all out. Thank you all.
Here is the short version: I was driving home from work tonight and the car started to surge pretty bad. Later the check engine light came on along with other warning lights.
Here’s the whole story:
On my way to work this morning, right as I pulled in, the low fuel light came on. Didn’t mean to get that low but it snuck up on me. Figured after work I’ll fuel it up. Still had 22 miles till empty according to the dash.
After work I started it up and let warm up a bit before heading to the gas station down the street to gas up.
On the way to the gas station is where issues started to become present.
It was surging pretty decent under any type of load. No matter the gear. Idled fine at a stop light though. At first I just thought that maybe it was lower on fuel than it was showing and was just starting to run out of gas.
I made it to the gas station and filled up. Only took 11.4 gallons of premium. That was puzzling since the capacity for these is 13.2 gallons. Still a little under two gallons left in the tank.
After leaving the gas station it was still surging the same and then while sitting at a light about 2 minutes from the station the check engine light came on. A few other warning lights also popped up.
At this point I realized I now actually have a problem and drove back to my work and parked it. I had my girlfriend drive to me and bring me my code reader and I got 4 codes pulled from it.
This is where I’m at now. Going to leave the car at work over night and figure out what to do in the morning. Most likely take it to the dealership since it’s still under warranty obviously, but it still just pains me that something has gone wrong already with my brand new GR.
I have a few theories I’m working on but was hoping maybe one of you could shed some light on the situation. Maybe it’s a common problem I’m not aware of or something…
Currently thinking it’s the fuel pump or the high pressure fuel system for the direct injection has air in it and needs to be bled/primed. Almost like a diesel when it’s ran out of fuel.
Attached is pictures of the warning lights and also what codes were thrown.
Thanks again if you read this small novel of a post. I appreciate any of your input.
