Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 CHEVY CRUZE LT THREE MONTHS AGO. PRIER OWNER OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND HARDLY DROVE IT. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN. THE CAR SLOWED TO 2 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. LATER I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE "SERVICE ESP" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN, THEN "SERVICE TRACTION" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN FOLLOWING BY "ENGINE POWER REDUCE." THIS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE SAME TRIP AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SNOWY WEATHER AND FREEZING TEMPERATURE? ANYONE HAVE THIS HAPPEN? HOW CAN I FIX IT? HELP!? *TR
