Default Engine ping

I'm getting a slight ping in the engine during acceleration. I have a 2.0 with CVT on my SXT. Anyone else experiencing the same?

On another Caliber site, there was some posts about a TSB for the ping.

Call your service manager and ask them to look up your VIN.

There now is an official "recall" which addresses this amung other issues. Give it a try. Before the recall they were doing them one at a time if you mentioned the TSB's.
