Bedelon Posted January 19, 2024 Share Posted January 19, 2024 Has anybody experienced any complications with the latest recall, specifically pertaining to a software update for the braking system, on the Insignia models from 2017 and onwards?

Ledgerciao Posted January 19, 2024 Share Posted January 19, 2024 What specific kind of problems are you referring to? Can you provide more precise details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedelon Posted January 19, 2024 Author Share Posted January 19, 2024 Within the span of seven days after the recall, I had many instances of the engine management system displaying a warning, without any subsequent decrease in speed. However, on the eighth day, the engine management warning reappeared and caused a reduction in speed. After driving a short distance, I parked the car for 5-10 minutes. The reduced speed warning disappeared, but the engine management light remained. The car drove without any issues to my friend's place, where he connected his computer to the car. The computer indicated a malfunction in the Powertrain Control Module related to the Traction Control. This error message cannot be cleared, but the engine management light has turned off and the car drives normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedelon Posted January 19, 2024 Author Share Posted January 19, 2024 I find it peculiar that these events have transpired subsequent to the system update on the factory recall. I really doubt that this is a mere coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgerciao Posted January 19, 2024 Share Posted January 19, 2024 Perhaps it would be advisable to reach out and inform them about the issue after the recall. Perhaps you have already done so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedelon Posted January 19, 2024 Author Share Posted January 19, 2024 I intended to attempt, but I was hoping to get input from someone else who may have had a same problem. 😩 Thank you for your expertise. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgerciao Posted January 19, 2024 Share Posted January 19, 2024 Is it necessary to programme the accelerator pedal sensor when it is installed, or may I use a different service provider for this repair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
