I just bought my new EX-T 2016 2 weeks ago.
Love it so far!
But...
I've noticed an issue when cruising at 60mph or so on the freeway. I haven't gone faster so can't determine if it gets worse at higher speeds, but I don't notice it on lower speeds such as on surface streets as of yet.
What happens is once you get to your set speed, and stop accelerating or decelerating, the engine seems to pulse / fight you as if it wants to accelerate, or decelerate, and can't make up it's mind. It feels like it's revving a little, but you don't hear any obvious noise from the engine, and the RPM only surges a very little. The turbo monitor does not show any surging or revving, but I do notice that the only time this happens is when the turbo engages. So it seems to engage to hold steady at this speed, and is causing this surging feeling.
It did not do this when I first took the car into possession, and the first week I noticed nothing odd. But it developed halfway into the 2nd week.
I brought it to my dealer's attention but they say that this is the first they've heard of it, and will let me know if they hear more issues about this problem.
Given the upcoming potential recalls of the 2.0 Liter engine, I thought I'd reach out to see if anyone else has had a similar issue to what I'm noticing on the 1.5 turbo engine.
Thanks!
