2016 Chevrolet Malibu VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY 'REDUCE ENGINE POWER' CAME ON FOLLOWED BY AN ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS GOING 75 AND GREATLY SLOWED DOWN TO 50 MPH AND ALMOST GOT IN A SERIOUS CAR CRASH. THERE IS A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, ENGINE RAPIDLY LOST POWER AND DISPLAYED "ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED" ALERT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SPEED BECAME MUCH LESS CONTROLLABLE. AS PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL WAS REDUCED, THE CAR DISPLAYED A GRADUALLY DECREMENTING "SPEED LIMITED TO X" MESSAGE. HOWEVER, UPON INCREASED PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE BEYOND THE STATED SPEED LIMITING - THOUGH WITH NEARLY TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. INCONSISTENT ENGINE PERFORMANCE NEARLY LED TO AN ACCIDENT AS THE CAR WAS NOT PREDICTABLE. WAS GIVEN A CODE P2138, DRIVE BY WIRE. TOOK TO DEALER, DEALER SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THEY ARE TO REPLACE GAS PEDAL. REQUEST RECALL DUE TO DANGEROUS CONDITION AND REPEATED COMPLAINTS REGARDING ISSUE.

WHILE IN TRAFFIC ENGINE LIGHT & ENGINE POWER REDUCED CAME ON A VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST LOW SPEED, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT. GOT ENGINE READ AND IT WAS DUE TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHICH IS VERY COMMON IN THIS CAR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A MESSAGE PIPED UP ON MY DASH SAYING MY CAR WAS LOSING POWER. I TRIED TO PRESS THE GAS, MY MY SPEED DECREASED. I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND SHUT MY CAR OFF FOR A WHILE, CRUNK IT BACK UP AND IT DROVE NORMAL. 5 MINUTES LATER AND IT DID THE SAME THING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND GAVE THE MESSAGE THAT ENGINE WAS LOOSING POWER. WHEN I MASHED THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I HAD TO SLOWLY MAKE MY WAY TO AN EXIT RAMP AND STOP THE CAR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER A WHILE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL INSTEAD OF ME HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I AM DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I THOUGHT CHEVROLET WAS A LITTLE MORE RELIABLE THAN THIS. CHEVROLET REALLY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING

WHEN I WAS RESUMING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF AFTER A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME; I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID FROM HITTING THE SEMI TRUCK. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55 MPH AT THE TIME THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED & IT HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AFTER THAT INITIAL INCIDENT. THEN IT STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE & DID A RECALIBRATION ON THE FRONT CAMERA & LONG RANGE RADAR MODULES.

ON A HIGHWAY IN MOTION WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH. THE MOTOR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE. THERE WAS NO POWER WHEN PUSHING ON THE PEDDLE.

THE CAR GOES BACK TO NORMAL AFTER BEING PARKED AND SITS FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS.
