A little update:
Dealer opens at 7 a.m. this morning. So as I'm driving to work I got a nice surprise I set the cruise control "arm" switch and on the display it illuminates but won't engage to hold a speed, and the arm light with not extinguish. Continue driving to the dealer. Pull up to the service lane and while waiting for them to open the car starts having a rough idle and proceeded to hunt for the idle followed by the engine dying from what seems like a lack of fuel. I then attempted to re start the engine, took two attempts and then started. So now I have a cruise light on, and a check engine light still. Now I've been told that they are out of courtesy rental cars today. I'm waiting on a sales manger to come in....... I know nothing about a direct injected engine like this particular one, but the car acts like my Duramax did when it had a bad fuel filter so I'm assuming direct injection is similar in theory of operation to the injection on a diesel please correct me? I have been shafted on car issues latley the same day I bought this I got my Volks for my other car scratched to shit at the tire place another on going battle this week.

Sounds similar but this seems more severe. When I had the cam CEL, the car was completely drivable, it just idled a little weird. This sounds more like when my engine blew after they tried to fix the CEL by replacing the cam gear

Newest update just attempted to return my car to me. I was told a "loose negative battery cable" I smell bullshit and have a feeling I will be back soon. Codes were cleared however codes listed on my invoice:
PO87
PO171 (system to lean?)
PO193 (fuel rail pressure?)
PO1604
C1201 (communication stop with ECU)
C1241 (low battery positive voltage)
B1410

Googled trouble codes found those. My question is if In Fact this was due to a loose battery terminal why did I NOT get a battery light anywhere during this process?

Another issue this morning was the seat "pull to release" for the drivers side doesn't release the seat to slide forward for access to the back doesn't function. Invoice said everything worked fine so it's back in the service bay will update.

And the solution was told to me that's it's not suppose to work so the driver can't be moved while driving. and for reference this is the release in referring to

Time for them to replace the car and be done with it.

Wholy Shit I never even noticed that strap by the drivers seat. I even had to unbolt stuff to get my harness in. lol

Strap should definitely work the same as the passenger side strap. Only things that sucks is it will lose your seat position every time you use it...

It deff did not run "fine" it ran but not as intended. I sure hope you don't use 87.

Can you verify yours works please?
And I'll let them know.

[DoomsdayJesus]

Have them replace the car. Leases are expensive, you deserve better.

Yeah, it definitely works the same as the passenger side. I use it often when loading kids, getting access to the back for cleaning etc.

Sometimes it's a bit hard to pull when the seat is all the way back. In this case I slide the seat up a bit then pull the strap.

no, the dealer filled it with 87

and it did run fine... because if it didnt dont you think i would've made a thread about it?

The strap and lever release on the driver side will allow the back to slant forward but it won't allow the seat to slide forward on the rails like the passenger one.
