| Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway at approx 65 mph. The truck dropped speed rapidly and without warning. Lights starting flashing and stating reduced engine power - service stabilitrak. When attempting to pull over i applied the brakes and the truck lunged forward. This happened three times before the engine sputtered and shut off - on the highway. Diagnostic tests show it was error p2135 - the throttle body component. Gm/chevrolet states this is not under warranty. The truck is less than 2 years old. Clearly there is a recall needed as this mimics toyota's issue with not stopping when the brake is applied and the rapid deceleration without warning is a clear safety issue. |
