Consumer Description

SERVICE ENGINE TROUBLE CODE CAUSES ENGINE POWER REDUCED TO 10%. WHEN THE GM COMPUTER GETS A C1214 TROUBLE CODE, THE FACTORY PROGRAM REDUCES ENGINE POWER TO 10%. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LET YOU GO MORE THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY DEFECT, WHO CARES IF THE STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL IS INOPERATIVE, THERE IS NO REASON TO IMPERIL THE OCCUPANTS WITH A VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT GET OUT OF ITS OWN WAY. I OWN AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES WITHOUT STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL AND AFTER 1,000,000 MILES I HAVE YET TO END UP SIDE DOWN! YOU NEED FORCE GM TO CORRECT THIS LINE OF COMPUTER CODE TO ALLOW REASONABLE PERFORMANCE. *TR
