NHTSA Complaint #10809394 — 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE

ON 12-5-15 I WAS ON MY WAY TO CT FROM MASS AND WAS ON 91. ABOUT 45 MINUTES INTO THE TRIP THE CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE STABLITRACK LIGHT CAME ON. AS SOON AS THE LIGHT CAME ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND RPM GAUGE WOULD FLING UP AND DOWN QUICKLY! I IMMEDIATELY WENT FROM 65 MPH TO 30 MPH.( I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A CAR BEHIND ME) I COASTED MY WAY TO THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE EXIT. THE CAR TOOK ABOUT 4 HOURS TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. ( I RETURNED TO MASS, I HAD TO TAKE THE BACK WAY HOME AND AVOID THE HIGHWAY AS THE CAR STILL HAD REDUCE SPEED) THE CAR WILL RETURN TO NORMAL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. EVERYDAY NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND IT WILL SAY SERVICE STABLITRACK. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOOSES POWER AND YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE (SOUNDS LIKE A FAN BLOWING HARD) THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT. THE RPM WILL JUMP TO 4-5 WHILE ONLY GETTING TO A SPEED OF 35 MPH. THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT IN JANUARY OF 2015 AND HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SIMILAR SITUATION HAPPENING TO THE SAME CAR I HAVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!! THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ON TIME!!! PLEASE HELP ME!! I REFUSE TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.....
