NHTSA Complaint #10889187 — 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU

JUST TOOK POSSESSION OF A 2008 CHEVY MALIBU LTZ V6 3.6 WITH ON 36K ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. HAVE HAD FOR ONLY 5 DAYS AND GOT A DASH NOTIFICATION OF CHECK ESC SOON, TRACTION CONTROL, ENG POWER REDUCED WARNING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL. I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY HOME FROM WORK AND IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD NO POWER TO GO ANYWHERE SO PULLED BACK IN DRIVE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF TO GO INSIDE MY HOUSE, CAME BACK OUT TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND PUT IN REVERSE, ALL SEEMED FIND WITH POWER, THEN PROCEEDED ON TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO POWER FAILURE, BUT ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. WITH ONLY 36K MILES AND LOTS OF REVIEWS I AM READING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE AND RECURRING THAT NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND A FIX FOR. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN AT LEAST TWO WEEKENDS A MONTH AND BEING A SINGLE FEMALE I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET STRANDED AND CAUSE A WRECK DUE TO POWER FAILURE. SERIOUSLY WHEN DOES THIS PROBLEM GET RECOGNIZED AND CORRECTED TO SAVE A LIFE.
