Description of the problem | On may 15, 2015, after driving about 15 freeway miles, i took the freeway off ramp. After traveling about 1/2 mile, after exiting, the "propulsion power is reduced" warning light came on followed by the vehicle slowing down although i'm pressing the accelerator for more power. After stopping at a traffic light, the car moved very slowly even when i'm flooring the accelerator. I finally made it to the church parking light with the vehicle traveling at about 5 mph. The car was towed back to my house, about 17 miles away. The failure could have been very dangerous if i was using the freeway. The "propulsion power is reduced" warning light did not come on the following day when the power was turned on. However, the "service the vehicle soon warning light " came on the following day. The vehicle was towed to a chevrolet dealership for service on 5/26/15. |
