NHTSA Complaint #10585695 — 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU

MY 2008 CHEVY MALIBU 2LT IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WHERE IT BASICALLY LOSES POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE CODE THAT CAME UP IS P2135 AND THE MESSAGES WERE SERVICE TRACTION/SERVICE ESC/ENGINE POWER REDUCED. ONCE THE ENGINE IS SHUT DOWN, IT WON'T START UNTIL THE CODES ARE CLEARED. MY HUSBAND & I WERE DRIVING AT 50MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULDN'T LET US GO MORE THAN 20MPH AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY CARS BEHIND US AND BARELY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GET OVER. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGN THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING WRONG PRIOR TO ALL OF THE MESSAGES COMING UP (ENGINE LIGHT ETC). *JS
