Consumer Description

THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVY OWNERS. I HAVE DONE COUNTLESS HOURS OF RESEARCH AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF FORUMS AND ARTICLES RELATED EXACTLY TO THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. NOW IT HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A RECALL. I OWN A 1.4L TURBO AUTOMATIC 2LT CHEVY CRUZE 2012. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE FIRST YEAR I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER IS GETTING MUCH WORSE. REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, A "!" SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN AND THE CARS SPEED IS REDUCED TO 4 OR 5 MPH WITH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MYSELF AS WELL AS HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE FROM WHAT THE INTERNET SAYS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING SOME PEOPLE HAVE FAMILIES AND DRIVE WITH CHILDREN SUCH AS MYSELF ON HIGHWAY SYSTEMS. I EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO AN INTERSECTION AND GOT AN IMMEDIATE ENGINE SPEED REDUCTION. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED MY DAUGHTER AND I IF THE VEHICLES IN THE INTERSECTION WERE UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME. PLEASE DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO GET THIS VEHICLE PART OR ISSUE RECALLED AND OR RECOGNIZED IMMEDIATELY! *TR
