Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While driving at no specific speed the car alerts and says check engine, reduced engine speed, and check stabilizer traction control. The engine then powers down and will not accelerate. I was recently driving and this happened, to avoid an accident i ended up in a ditch and had to be towed out. I had the car repaired which was costly and was not covered under the power train warranty chevy offers. I feel that this is a very dangerous defect on the car and should be addressed as a recall, due to the first time i tried to have the car repaired i was told it was gonna be 4-6 weeks to wait on the part because they were on back order because they have had quite a few cars with the same problem. When i addressed this issue with chevy they had no concern that a car losing power while traveling was no big deal. I was nearly rear ended by a semi-truck and was forced into a ditch. |
