As a background, I had just picked up my vehicle on Saturday after the dealer had it for 4 days trying to determine why the check SH-AWD light came on. They stated the computer showed a misfire in one of the cylinders. They suspected it was bad gas or moisture in the tank. (I use only Chevron Supreme Plus at 94 octane.)
Several hours later, while driving up the same steep hill which triggered the original check engine light from 4 days previous, the vehicle sputtered and could not go past 80 km/hr. This time the turbo dial didn't go past the half way mark. Check engine lights for VSA, SH-AWD and Emissions Control lit up with the Emissions light staying lit.
Once again, towed back to the dealer. This time, they stated that the problem may be due to the catalytic converter which they changed out when the did my first warranty repair for the leaking torque converter. Apparently a bolt on the catalytic converter was accidentally stripped during the repair for the torque converter.
At this point, I hope I didn't get a lemon!!!!!
