Consumer Description

MY CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OF 45 MPH. WEATHER WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES F.. MESSAGE ON DASH WAS "STARTING DISABLED SERVICE THROTTLE." I AM LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. AFTER PUSHING IT TO A SIDE STREET, IT STARTED AGAIN AND SHOWED "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND WENT ABOUT 20 MPH. I SAW ONLINE THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVROLETS. WHY NO RECALL? SO DANGEROUS. REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT $750.
