I went to the dealer Monday with an issue of an intermittent "engine system service required" chime on my middle LCD screen. The car Boggs out looses power for a quick second then gose away and is completely fine. The dealer was unable to replicate the issue after 4 test drives and there were no store current or readable codes. So they said they couldn't pinpoint anything and could see no issues. I picked the car up only to have the same but did progressively get worse and then eventually my engine completely cut out and dash light up like a Christmas tree. ABS Traction control and also my Ebrake light came on at the time of my engine cutting out. I did notice that my RPMs were high for the points the car usually shifts at it would peg 5th gear around 3k rpms and then it eventually shifted me into 4th gear and reved it up to almost 4k rpms with the same speed then had the intermittent chime and lights follow shortly after still I shut the car off and it was fine when it came back on and all lights were gone. Anyone have any ideals were to being with this its currently back at the dealer in Hope's with video and possibly the car cooperates with them and replicates the issue they can get it sorted out. Unable to upload the videos here says there and an unaaceped file type.

 

Hey Matt,

Im having a similar with my car at the moment as well. In the past two weeks I’ve had to take it back to the dealer 3 times as they can’t seem to figure out the issue. Any luck with your car?

Cheers,

It sounds like this "Engine System Service Required" issue has been causing a lot of headaches, and it's definitely frustrating when the diagnostics don't point to a clear problem. Given that several people have mentioned similar experiences, I wanted to offer a couple of suggestions that might help, especially if you're dealing with potential issues like carbon buildup or timing chain stretch.

Hydrotech Engine Carbon Cleaning Machine:
If carbon buildup is a concern, which can sometimes cause or exacerbate these types of issues, you might want to consider a thorough engine cleaning. The Hydrotech Engine Carbon Cleaning Machine is an excellent tool designed to remove carbon deposits from key engine components. This process can often restore performance and potentially prevent issues like misfires or erratic engine behavior that might trigger warnings like "Engine System Service Required."

Autozilla App:
For those who are still troubleshooting and might need parts, tools, or further diagnostics, the Autozilla app is a handy resource. It offers access to a wide range of automotive products and services, making it easier to find what you need to get your vehicle back on the road.

If anyone else has tried carbon cleaning or found a solution to this issue, please share your experiences. It would be great to get some more insights into resolving this persistent problem!
