In the past week we have drove our Terrain almost 2k miles on a road trip to FL from IN. When we got back my wife took the car to the dealer to check the antenna as we would get very spotty reception with XM throughout most of the trip. They said nothing was wrong with it and that we were probably driving through dead spots but a lot of the time it went out was in a big city and in FL mostly. I will keep an eye on the issue.
However, when my wife was driving to the dealer she felt that the car wasnt responding quite as good as it should. In her words she said, "that I would hit the gas pedal and it would just kind of sputter and then I would have to lift off the gas and hit it again to get power back."
I drove the car after she got back from the dealer and there is something wrong with the engine for sure. Power is literally gone and just like she said, once it sputters the only way to get power back again is to release the pedal and give it a sec or two and then hit the pedal again.
The dealer scanned the car and a DTC had been set; P0172.
Dealer looked up the symptoms and the literature says to replace the high pressure fuel pump due to overpressurizing that will cause lower performance and driveability.
Part was ordered and it will be at the dealer on Monday to get it replaced. Hopefully, it will fix the issue.
Dealer also said that this could be the reason we havent got what the DIC said on the MPG when we hand calculated it on the return trip up from Florida.
