Consumer Description
FOR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT, 2011 CHEVY MALIBU WAS SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATED ABOVE A CERTAIN SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. TWO DAYS AGO, IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK, WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR, THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION SYSTEM AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED CAR OFF AND LIGHTS DID NOT COME BACK ON, BUT DROVE HOME A SAFER ROUTE. THE NEXT NIGHT ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 30 MPH! AND THIS WAS ON A DAY OF LARGE SNOWSTORM AND WAS VERY COLD. SO DANGEROUS. COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. TOOK CAR TO CLOSEBY FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE. BILL WAS OVER 600 DOLLARS. WANT TO WARN GM AND MALIBU OWNERS OF THIS TERRIBY DANGEROUS ISSUE IN THEIR CAR!!!!!
