Default Re: Occasional Slow Acceleration

The dealership gave me the 60 day powertrain warranty but this dealership didnt have too much knowledge on this car to start with so I know them deciphering a problem would be a miracle. Has anyone experienced this problem lately? And if so is it going to be the Intercooler Pump?

Yes, it is a common problem as your search has proven. Tell the dealer that the intercooler pump was not working on the ride home and is not allowing your supercharger to function properly because it isn't pumping and cooling as it should and is shutting down the SC because of overheating. Bring it in to them after getting it good and hot and then bring the SA (or preferably a tech there that knows the difference between an N/A and an SRT6) out for a test drive. Don't let him tell you that "It seems fine". Tell him that if it was working properly you'd be going 85 right now instead of 35..... Or something like that anyway Of course, I'm just assuming this is what the problem is; but it is most likely. Good Luck.
