I own a 2014 Buick Encore with 53000 miles on it and randomly it will loss power, shakes and stutters when traveling at highway speeds.
The dealer did a diagnostic test and said the turbo was bad. We had them install a new turbo and the same problem occurred after the new turbo was installed . We returned the vehicle to the dealer and they installed a second turbo stating that the first turbo was bad. On the way home from the dealer today the same problem happened .
As I follow the vehicle when it malfunctions it blows heavy black exhaust that smells like sulfur . Sometimes on start up it will blow white smoke that smells rich.
We originally took the vehicle in for a service bulletin stating that the PCV could develop cracks in it and cause the vehicle to mis perform. The dealer never addressed this item and went directly to the turbo.
Can anyone help diagnose this problem. All help is greatly appreciated. I will return the Buick tomorrow because after spending $1300 on the turbo and installation the problem still isn’t resolved and these guys don’t seem to know where to look.
