EVERY COUPLE MONTHS I WILL BE DRIVING MY 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WILL SUDDENLY WARN ME THAT THE ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE CAR WILL DROP FORM 50-7MPH TO ABOUT 20-30MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CODE ALWAYS DISAPPEAR BEFORE I CAN GET IT REPAIRED, BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING AND IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I-285,AT A SPEED OF AROUND 70MPH, THE VEHICLE DISPLAY SHOWED 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER.' ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWS DOWN TO A SPEED OF 40 THEN LESS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER OFF SHOULDER. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED SINCE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO AN APPROPRIATE SPEED. *TR
Vehicle speed control, May 4, 2020
I ALREADY REPLACED THE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR ONCE AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT DID IT AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT GAVE A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT READ 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED'. IT SLOWED ME TO 44 MPH & WAS STUCK AT 3000 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREEWAY BUT I AM SERIOUSLY WORRIED ABOUT MY OWN SAFETY & THE SAFETY OF OTHER VEHICLES IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. LIKE I MENTIONED, THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED/REPLACED ONCE & NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN.
Vehicle speed control, Mar 8, 2020
I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2017 AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY PEDAL SENSOR NOW WHAT WILL BE 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I HAD THE PEDAL SENSOR REPLACED IT WAS DUE TO A MESSAGE 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' THAT WOULD COME UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER VERY QUICKLY WHETHER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR MAIN STREETS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES THE MESSAGE WOULD CLEAR OUT, BUT NOT TOO MUCH LONGER WHILE DRIVING, THE MESSAGE WOULD POP BACK UP AND I WOULD LOSE POWER AGAIN. EACH TIME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART, IT WAS NEVER COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THIS DEFECT IS BEYOND DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE HARM NOT JUST TO THE DRIVER, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. THE CAR'S ENGINE POWER REDUCES TO 20-25MPH FROM 60-70MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ME CAUSE TO BE REAR ENDED.

13 MONTHS AGO I BEGAN HAVING ACCELERATOR SENSOR ISSUES. DRIVING 40+ MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, "ENGINE REDUCED POWER", "STABILITRAK" CAME ON MY HUD. MY FATHER HAS A 2017 MALIBU AND THIS HAD JUST HAPPENED TO HIM, SO I KNEW TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, BUT THE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH AND TOOK FOREVER TO GET UP TO SPEED. TOOK IT IN AND THEY "FIXED" IT. I HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED 3 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. ALL SIMILAR SITUATIONS, DRIVING 45+ MPH. MY TOUCH SCREEN RADIO ALSO WENT OUT, AND HAD TO GET A NEW HEAD UNIT. STILL TO THIS DAY ONLY ONE OF THE USB SLOTS WORKS. SUMMER GOES ON, NO ISSUES. OCTOBER TIME FRAME, MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH FOR A SPLIT SECOND. HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, RADIO, SPEEDOMETER, ALL OF IT AT 5AM. IT CAME BACK ON WITHIN 2 SECONDS AND THE CAR WAS FINE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING. HAD A BUDDY OF MINE RUN A CODE CHECK AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. A MONTH LATER I HAD ANOTHER ACCELERATOR SENSOR ISSUE, DRIVING 60+ MPH. HAD TO DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOOK IT IN AND GOT IT FIXED FOR FREE SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL. 2 MONTHS GO BY, WE'RE IN JANUARY 2020 NOW, DRIVING 60+ AND MY CAR SHOWS "STABILITRAK" AND HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF THE PREVIOUS LOW POWER, AND NOT ACCELERATING. TURNS OUT TO BE THE AIR CHARGE COOLER. NOT A WEEK LATER AFTER GETTING IT BACK, DRIVING 70+ MPH AND MY CAR LOSES POWER. HAD TO TOW IT SINCE I WAS IN A DIFFERENT STATE. CYLINDER 1 HAS LOW PRESSURE AND THE CHARGE AIR COOLER IS FLOODED WITH DEBRIS. AND NOW CHEVY IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE!! WTF?

ON JAN 6 2020. I WAS DRIVING A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU, WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ENGINE REDUCE POWER LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND LET THE CAR SEAT FOR MAYBE 10 MINS. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN (IT WAS PULLING NORMAL). ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR STOP PULLING AND THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON WHICH LEAVES ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION SECTION CAUSING A VEHICLE COMING FROM MY RIGHT SIDE TO SLAM INTO THE SIDE OF VEHICLE DEPLOYING ALL OF MY AIRBAGS AND MAKING ON-STAR ASSISTANCE COME ON. IN THE RESULT I HAVE NECK, BACK AND SIDE INJURY FROM THE IMPACT. WHICH IN THE RESULT I'M GETTING SUED BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN GOING LEFT. MY CAR WAS TOTALED OUT AND MY INSURANCE DON'T WANT TO PAY THE FULL VALUE OF WHAT I WAS LEASING IT FOR. WHICH I HAVE TO COME OUT THE POCKET WITH EXPENSES. AFTER REVIEWING THE "ENGINE REDUCE POWER" AND DOING MY RESEARCH I COME TO FIND OUT IT HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE!
