Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE GOES INTO "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED MODE" PREVENTING ANY ACCELARATION. ONCE YOU TAP THE BRAKES - THAT IS YOUR NEW MAXIMUM SPEED. IF GOING UP AN INCLINE AND YOU SLOW DOWN - NEW MAXIMUM SPEED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. TO MAKE A LEFT TURN - THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE RESTARTED BEFORE THERE IS ANY SORT OF POWER/ACCELERATION TO CROSS THE ROAD. A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF YOU CANNOT EASILY PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF HARMS WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITH A BRAND NEW 2016 CHEVY SUBURBAN. RESULTING IN A CLOSE CALL TO AN ACCIDENT. WHEN GETTING TOWED THE VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE UP THE TOW TRUCK BED AND HAD TO BE WINCHED UP.
