NHTSA Complaint #11171448 — 2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND THE CODE IS P2138. THIS IS AN ACCELERATOR ISSUE AND WHEN THE ISSUE COMES ABOUT, THE CAR ENGINE REDUCES AND MY CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PART AND IT IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL VERSUS ME HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS AND THE PART SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AS THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENS, I MYSELF OR OTHERS COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT IF NOT KILLED. THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND I NEED MY VEHICLE AND AM SCARED TO KEEP DRIVING IT WITHOUT IT BEING FIXED. OF COURSE, MY VEHICLE IS OVER MILEAGE WARRANTY, THEREFORE I NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN THAT THE CAR IS GOING TO REV DOWN TO 20 MPH. CHEVROLET SAID THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD EVEN CONSIDER REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY KIND WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS $115 TO DIAGNOSE). THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC, THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHERE IT IS DIAGNOSED.
