2017 Chevrolet Malibu

AT LEAST TWICE A DAY, WHILE DRIVING, I'LL RANDOMLY GET A MESSAGE ON MY MESSAGE BOARD STATING 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' AND THEN MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN. I'M UNABLE TO SPEED UP, MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO FIND A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAIT ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN RESTART IT. ONCE I RESTART IT I CAN DRIVE BUT MY ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT IT FROM BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT IT'S JUST A SENSOR.

ENGINE POWER REDUCES SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND REGULAR CITY STREETS. INITIALLY ISSUE HAPPENED ONCE A WEEK. NOW IT'S HAPPENING AND AVERAGE OF 3 TIMES PER DAY. WHEN ENGINE POWER REDUCES CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 30MPH WHICH IS DANGEROUS ON A HIGHWAY. THE MORE I USE THE CAR, THE MORE FREQUENT THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING. I WAS INFORMED BY HESSERT CHEVROLET THAT IT IS A CENSOR IN MY GAS PETAL AND THE GAS PETAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE GAS PETAL HAS BEEN ON "NATIONAL" BACK ORDER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2019

FOR 2 YEARS NOW I CAN BE DRIVING AND I GET A WARNING THAT THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REDUCED ONLY ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO GO 25 MPH. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (81) AND ALMOST LOST MY LIFE WHEN THE TRUCK BEHIND ME ALMOST DIDN'T STOP IN TIME. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND UNDERSTAND THE PART I NEED IS BACK ORDERED WITH NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE PART WILL COME IN AND I CANT GET A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. I USE MY VEHICLE FOR WORK AND CANT BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. ONSTAR EMAILS ME EVERY TIME STATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION.

MY MALIBU, PURCHASED NEW IN 2017, HAS 28170 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I SUDDENLY RECEIVED A MESSAGE SAYING THAT "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED". INSTANTLY MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE GAS, AND RAPIDLY DECELERATED. AGAIN, ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A TERRIFYING PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS. WHAT EVER THE ISSUE IS THAT IS CAUSING THIS SHOULD BE RESOLVED AND A RECALL IN PLACE.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE 2018, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND I'D GET A MESSAGE READING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE TURBO WOULD BE SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 5 TIMES BEFORE THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE TURBO VALVE. NOTHING HAPPENED AND ALL WAS FINE UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. MY PARTNER AND I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER CODE RESET ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY RESET IT AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. WITHIN ONE WEEK, IT WAS BACK ON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT SINCE EACH TIME I TAKE IT IN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEES THE ISSUE BUT THEY CONTINUALLY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHT COMES ON BOTH WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY, IN MY GARAGE, IN A PARKING LOT, DRIVING ON SUBURBAN STREETS, ON THE HIGHWAY, WHENEVER. THERE'S NO SPECIFIC MOVEMENT THAT TRIGGERS THIS AND NO PAST OR CURRENT RECALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT APPARENTLY FOR THE MALIBU VEHICLES, ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO.

BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW 12-5-17 AND ON 12-6-17 ENGINE LIGHT WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY CAME ON I WAS ADVICE BY SERVICE MEMBER AT DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM AND IT WOULD FIX ITSELF. ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY AND THEN 10-11-18 IN WHILE IN MOTION ON STREET ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR DECELERATED IN SPEED GIVING MESSAGE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. WAS GOING TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY AGAIN BEFORE THAT TIME. TODAY 11-22-18 ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON,WHILE IN MOTION ON STREET SPEED REDUCED, SAME MESSAGE SAYING ENGINE POWERED REDUCED. THOSE TIMES THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SPEED WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR

TL THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY DECELERATED AND THE ENGINE, TRACTION, AND REDUCED POWER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CABLE DAHMER OF KANSAS CITY (555 W 103 ST, KANSAS CITY, MO 64114, (816) 285-4589) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT AN UNKNOWN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,500.

MY 2017 CHEVY MALIBU HAS BEEN DOING POWER ENGINE REDUCED FOR AWHILE IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TO MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE CAR REDUCES SPEED WHILE DRIVING SHOUTING MY CAR DOWN TO GO NO FASTER THEN 20 MPH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHEVY IS GIVING ME A RUN AROUND ABOUT WHEN OBVIOUS THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME LIKE THIS. I HAVE WARRANTY ON MY CAR AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED MY CAR PROPERLY LEAVING ME EVERYDAY AT RISK DRIVING THIS UNSAFE CAR THAT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DOSE IT WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHICH HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ALREADY. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR ALL THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS CAR WHICH IS CRAZY SINCE IT'S A NEW CAR. I NEED TO KNOW IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE IN THIS CAR SINCE THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS MY AIRBAGS THEN IT WAS THE SUSPENSION WHICH I WAS TOLD AGAIN THE SUSPENSION ARE BAD MEANING THEY PROBABLY NEVER FIXED THEM ALONG WITH THIS ENGINE PROBLEM I'M HAVING.
