I bought my 2014 Limited brand new and it now has 76,000 km on it. I love this truck so much that my enthusiasm resulted in many of my friends buying similar trucks with the Ecodiesel. I get so excited about the fuel economy of this engine, I’ve had it get down to 8.2 litre per 100 km, around the city it runs around 10.4.
A few weeks ago I started suspecting something wasn’t right. In the morning when I pull out of my driveway I have been detecting a slight hesitation when accelerating slowly. It’s almost like it’s got a miss to it. I called the dealer and I was told there was a recall that would solve this issue. I was afraid to agree to this modification due to issues some of my friends have experienced.
I picked my truck up from the dealer and the truck was running great, the hesitation I was warned of experiencing after having the recall done was not there. What I did notice was an increase in fuel use. When I dropped the truck off at the dealer the indicator read 9.3, when I picked the truck up it was at 10.4, by the time I got home it was at 11 litres per 100 km.
The next morning when I pulled out of the driveway that same hesitation was still there. The recall did nothing to solve my problem. All it did was cause the engine to use more fuel. I can’t for the life of me understand how burning more fuel is an improvement!! This frustrates me.
I have the extended warranty but the dealer told me that trying to resolve the issue would fall under maintenance and not be covered by warranty. I got laid off a few weeks ago and can’t afford a huge repair bill right now.
Love the truck and have had very few issues with it up until now. If anyone else has experienced this same issue I would appreciate knowing about it.
