Consumer Description

DISPLAYED ON PANEL "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" . ON STAR DIAGNOSED SERVICE CODE "P2138". ON 05/01/2012 WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A LARGE INTERSECTION MY ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED TO 3 OR MAYBE 5 MPH. I WAS TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE 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 CHEVY DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
