Hesitation,then surge

Update: dealer called and said they found more issues when they went to do the timing chain. Head gasket had a leak and the turbo was going out (which that makes sense as it felt like it might have been turbo lag). Will be next week sometime before it'll be done.

How many miles are on yours?
 
One more update. They found more issues after the motor was out. Head gasket leak and turbo was going out. They said Head and block were not fixable so getting a new motor. No idea how it was this bad. Didn't notice any smoke, the only thing I could tell was mileage was down and seemed to lack some power along with clatter on light load. No engine light either which made me hesitant to have it looked at as I know how that typically goes.

Wow,at least you’re getting a new motor while it’s still under warranty. 🥴👍🏻😎

Which motor are they putting in? LM2 or LZO?
 
I'm assuming the same lm2. Not sure if they'd put something different in. Haven't got it back yet.
 
Alright good news bad news update. Good news, turbo lag issue gone, bad news, got rear ended the next day. FML. They did some "update/calibration to the turbo" and ever since it has been driving like new. No hesitation, good torque down low, like nothing was ever wrong. It sounds like the tech that worked on my car was going back and forth with some corporate techs that were guiding him through the process. Reason I say that is hopefully it's becoming more of a prevalent issue and they have a solution ready for others who are dealing with this.
