Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN JULY OF 2019. 3 MONTHS INTO HAVING THE CAR, AS I , MY MOTHER AND 6YO DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH , THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND SLOW DOWN. THE 'ENGINE REDUCED POWER ' MESSAGE CAME ACROSS MY DASH . WE WE'RE ALMOST SIDE SWIPED AND REAR ENDED. ONLY FOR THE FACT THAT A FELLOW MOTORIST STOPPED BEHIND ME TO HELP MERGE TRAFFIC TO KEEP US FROM GETTING HIT , IS WHAT KEPT US FROM BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AND PULLING OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T IMAGINE AS A MOTHER HOW LOSING HER LIFE, OR THE LIFE OF HER CHILD WOULD HAVE BEEN DEVISTATING BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER'S ERROR!
