Consumer Description

ON JUNE 22, 2012 AS I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE DASH. I KNOW MY CAR SLOWED DOWN A LOT AND THEN PICKED UP SPEED AGAIN. I NOTICE THAT EACH TIME I PRESSED ON THE PETAL TO STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE CAR WOULD JERK FORWARD. I DID NOT THINK TOO MUCH OF IT UNTIL MY HUSBAND THEN DROVE IT AND SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING REALLY ROUGH. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEE THAT LOTS OF CHEVY OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE ENFORCE A RECALL AS THIS IS NOT SAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. *TR
