2020 e4, I am experiencing intermittent acceleration. GEM is fully charged, both traction and Aux and no fault codes. The user states that when driving normally, he heard a loud “pop” somewhere he couldn’t say where it came from. Since that moment the car started stuttering forward and the car got progressively and haltingly slow. When in Forward and Reverse, the intermittent acceleration is present. I replaced the Acceleration Pedal w a new part and even used a pedal from another GEM and the problem still persists exactly the same. So the pedal is ruled out. When I say intermittent, when pressing down on the pedal suddenly ‘all at once’, the car will not move, however, if I ‘baby’ the pedal pressure like slowly and haltingly the car does move (both F and R separately) but still sporadic and not smooth acceleration, and sometimes not at all. So I was thinking it sounds like more of a mechanical nature like a Relay contacts failing or wiring or switch vs some component with containing software (VCM/Controller).
Has anyone come across this issue and found a solution? Can anyone recommend any possibilities on how to troubleshoot this issue?
Thank you.
