I has some trouble with my GS yesterday (turbo was not kicking in at all), so I just logged in to Buick.com to check my warranty status and saw a "Special Coverage 14582" warranty that's good until 120,000 miles. All I can find about it online is in a Chevy Traverse forum stating that it's because:
"The throttle-position sensor may cause the engine to run rough, cause the malfunction-indicator lamp and/or an engine reduced power message to illuminate, and reduce the engine’s power. Dealers are to replace the throttle body assembly and gasket for Bosch equipped vehicles, or to install the throttle position sensor kit for Hitachi equipped vehicles. The Hitachi throttle body assembly only needs to be replaced if the sensor kit does not correct the condition. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.".
Has anybody experienced this problem or gone in for this Special Coverage issue on their Regal/GS? I didn't get any error messages, but I'm wondering if my issue and this problem are the same thing.
Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
