Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Pinging is experienced when the throttle is open all the way during acceleration. the recommended fuel for this vehicle is regular unleaded, which i use. when i use premium there is no pinging. this has been evident the entire time i have had this vehicle. i brought the vehicle in for this problem during the warranty period and was told that it was normal, this is not normal. after the 100,000-mi tune-up the problem was not evident until about 5000 mi afterward. there is a design flaw and possible misrepresentation if the vehicle was advertised as using regular unleaded and really should be using premium.*ak |
