Consumer Description

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE LTZ WENT IN TO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE AND SAID TO SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH FROZEN PRECIPITATION ON THE GROUND. RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY CRUZE VEHICLES. THE CAR WAS DRIVE ABLE AFTER POWERING DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT WOULD GO INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK. LIKELY THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. *TR
