Consumer Description

Was driving on highway when given error ""Propulsion Power Reduced." This resulted in less power available, which is a safety hazard. Then after a while of driving (on the highway) I received the error "Engine Not Available," which caused me to have to continue on electric only power. If I did not have any battery left in the traction battery, I would have had to maneuver to the shoulder. The error code revealed by a scan with the OBD device P0403 relates to a failed EGR valve. There are no replacement parts for this valve, according to GM, so future failure is likely.
