NHTSA Complaint #10663993 — 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU

DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES IN THE DIC: "SERVICE ESC" "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND "ENG REDUCED PWR." VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 60 MPH, AND THAT WAS WITH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I HAD TO STOP, THE ENGINE SHOOK. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME - ALTHOUGH, AT ONE POINT, I WAS DRIVING 20 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY ACCELERATION LANE BECAUSE THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THE MESSAGES CLEARED WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. DEALER FOUND DTC OF "P2135" AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS/ENGINE/POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND CHARGED $500 FOR THE REPAIR. *TR
