Have a sport s, manual 6sp, and notice sometimes that the acceleration gets really sluggish to the point that I have to double check that the e-brake is off. I can usually climb hills on a highway in 4th or 5th when above 50mph, but this time had to go to 3rd most of the time to climb even the slightest hills. Pick up from a stop was also clearly impacted. No lights on the dash came on.
Happened this weekend on a road trip we do frequently. Usually get 23-24mpg on that trip (all 55-65mph), and this time when I noticed the sluggish acceleration, I only got 19mpg fuel efficiency. As it was going along, I checked the other stats I have access too. Tire pressure same as always (around 37psi cold), engine temps etc seemed fine. I did notice that my battery usually shows 13.9-14.2 V, and this time it was jumping around a lot from 13.7-13.9V. It's been 100 degrees for a few months, so no change in temp from other days/trips. It is intermittent, though, and the next day I was back at the 23-24mpg area and acceleration seemed fine. Can't tell if this is a mechanical or electrical issue.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has experience this? I know there is a post on a JLUR essentially losing all power for a minute but then kicks back in, but haven't seen any resolution to that.
Any thoughts? I will be bringing it to the dealer soon, but as it is intermittent, and our dealer service is so overcrowded, I don't anticipate anything besides "we couldn't repeat the problem".
Thanks!
