Consumer Description

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2017 CHEVY MALIBU A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO. I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A WARNING FOR ENGINE POWER REDUCED CAME ON. CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES AND HOUR. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO ITS HAPPED FOR BOTH DAYS ON DAY IT CAME ON AS I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY. HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR ON AND OFF UNTILL I COULD DRIVE IT AGAIN NORMALLY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY NEW CAR. THE REASON I GOT A NEW CAR WAS TO HAVE SOMETHING RELIABLE. I CANT EVEN TRUST TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHAT IF IT HAPPENS AND I HAVE MY BABY IN THE CAR... I'M SO DISAPPOINTED.
