Description of the problem | I was driving on a bridge when the check engine light came on and the engine power reduced. The truck immediately dropped to below 30 mph and i could not accelerate up the bridge and barely avoiding an accident, as this was in a heavy traffic area. I was able to get it to the dealership and are working on it now. This if the fifth time this has happened to my truck. My wife and i just sold our 2007 chevrolet tahoe and the only reason was the engine power reduced error occurred on it seven times, three in month prior to selling it. This is a major problem and could have easily resulted in a severe accident. Both cars were only ever serviced at chevrolet dealerships and each time, they insisted it was fixed and the problem was gone. We have no faith in chevrolet at this time! |
