problem #1

Aug 012015

Malibu 1LT 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32 miles

BAD GAS MILEAGE FROM DAY ONE, CURRENTLY THE ELECTRONICS SELF-REPORT 23MPG AVERAGE (HIGHWAY/CITY COMBINED) - I WEIGH LESS THAN 200LBS AND THE CAR IS OTHERWISE UNLADEN. CHEVROLET CONSUMER OFFICE AGREES THIS IS WAY LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE, BUT DEALER REFUSES TO EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO 'ENGINE CODES'.

SANITY CHECK (1), THINGS CAN BE WRONG AND NO CODE IS INITIATED. THEY EVEN AGREED WITH THIS COMMENT BUT REFUSED TO EVEN TAKE TIME TO PHYSICALLY INSPECT VEHICLE ON RACK.

SANITY CHECK (2), MY WRITTEN LOG OF MILES VS GALLONS GAS PURCHASED FAIRLY AGREES WITH 23MPG SELF REPORT.

SANITY CHECK (3), MY FORMER VEHICLE WAS A CHEVY IMPALA WITH 3.8L V6 ENGINE - EXACT SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS - 29MPG.

NOT HAPPY AT ALL, I SUSPECT SOMETHING IS BADLY ASTRAY AND I'M BEING STONEWALLED. I NOTE THAT ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND IN ANY LINEAR FASHION WITH THE GAS PEDAL, WHICH MAKES ME SUSPECT BAD PROGRAMMING OF THE SOFTWARE.

ANY CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU.
