Consumer Description

"REDUCED ENGINE POWER" SERVICE CODE P2138. ON 05/01/2012 WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MY ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED TO 3, MAYBE 5 MPH. I WAS TRYING TO GET THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION WITHOUT THE ACCELERATION THAT WAS SO DESPERATELY NEEDED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO BEING CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT, I'M FEARFUL I WILL BE THE ONE CAUSING A FATAL PILE UP. I HAVE BEEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JS
