 Description of the problemDriving approx 55mph down a highway when vehicle suddenly slowed to 30 mph and several messages came to dash (engine power reduced, traction control off and service stabilitrack). Due to sudden drop in speed, i was involved in a near miss accident from a following vehicle i took the vehicle to be serviced at the chevrolet dealership and they replaced the throttle body sensor. Due to a previously identified deficiency with the throttle body (identified by chevy) there was no charge for replacement after picking the vehicle up from the dealership and driving the vehicle 5 miles, the vehicle suddenly slowed and the messages reappeared. The vehicle was taken into the dealership and the pedal accelerator sensor was replaced. The mechanic explained to that the throttle body sensor was identified to be a problem by chevy. He also explained that the throttle body sensor and the accelerator pedal sensor work in conjunction and that he frequently sees the accelerator pedal sensor failing to operate as intended, resulting in replacements. However, he explained that chevrolet has not identified the accelerator pedal sensor as a defected part and no recall currently exists even though it is an integral part of the function of the throttle body sensor. I conducted research in general motors forums, etc. And this seems to be a common problem among chevy vehicles. Some individual were traveling at greater speeds with children in vehicles when the vehicle came to an abrupt reduction in speed causing accidents. Problem is that the throttle body sensor is often replaced and the problem will go away for a while, thenwill reoccur due to the failure of the accelerator pedal sensor and the interaction between the two parts the accelerator pedal sensor shall be recalled because of its importance to the function of the throttle body sensor and the history
