NHTSA Complaint #10935998 — 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE

I WAS DRIVING BY MYSELF DOWN A BUSY ROAD, LUCKILY NOT TOO BUSY WITH TRAFFIC AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON WITH COMMENT STABILITY TRACTION. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CALLED OUR CHEVY DEALER. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE THE CAR OFF A FEW MINUTES THEN TURN IT BACK ON WHICH I DID. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR SEVERAL DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED. THE CAR WAS FINE THE REST OF THE DAY. THE NEXT DAY AROUND 3 PM I WAS LEAVING WORK THE STABILITY TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE SPEED LIGHT CAME ON. MY CAR DROPPED TO 10 MILES AN HOUR I WAS ABOUT REAR ENDED. I TURNED ON HAZARDS. I RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION, I STARTED BLOWING MY HORN CAUSE THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW. I TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN. THE GUY ON THE PHONE STATED TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT DID RESET. HE SAID I SEE YOU HAVE AN UPCOMING APPOINTMENT. I SAID YES BUT I AM DROPPING THE CAR OFF TONIGHT AND HE STATED OKAY. NEXT DAY THEY PHONE ME AND THE"THROTTLE BODY" WAS BAD. MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS. HE STATED HE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE OUTLET HOUSING, SOMETHING TO DO WITH OIL. THIS WAS JUST RE-PLACED 15 MONTHS AGO BUT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. A DAY LATER I WAS OUT $1,053.99. LUCKILY I HAD THE MONEY! MY POINT IS NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT OTHERS, MANY OTHERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS THROTTLE BODY. WHY NOT RECALL IT? DO YOU REALIZE WHAT DANGER I WAS IN??? THANK YOU.
