With the extreme temperatures we had winter of 2018/2019 I had begun having issues. At first it would just sputter and hesitate when going a low speed, but because of the cold I thought nothing of it and put heet in at my next fill-up, and this seemed to work for a little bit. However, I started losing power at an incline or flat surface. If I was using cruise control (which I tend to use religiously) and there was even the slightest incline it would hammer down to almost redlining my rpm's.

I stopped into a dealership one day and was told that my turbo was freezing because of condensation and that there was not a recall on it, I was basically told that I purchased a "warm weather" vehicle (in Wisconsin mind you) and it would cost me 2500 to have it fixed. I was out of one of my warranties but still had the power-train warranty, but of course this wouldn't have been covered under the warranty. Needless to say, it is still not fixed, has been getting worse but have a part ordered for Chevy's "special service" on replacing the emissions evaporative purge valve. Hopefully this is some sort of fix.
