WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 70MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ON GOES OFF THEN POPS BACK ON. MESSAGE COMES ON SAYING REDUCING ENGINE POWER THEN TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE LIGHTS COMES ON AND STAYS ON ALL WHILE I'M LOSING POWER TRYING TO GET OVER TO SAFETY I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT NO POWER AT ALL PUT MY FLASHERS ON LUCKY CHP SEEN ME AND HELPED ME TO THE SHOULDER.CALL AAA WHILE WAITING I START THE CAR UP PRESS ON THE PEDAL I HAVE POWER.

ON OR ABOUT MAY 17, 2015, I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE CHEVROLET DIVISION OF GENERAL MOTORS THAT MY VEHICLE "MAY HAVE A BROKEN SOLDER CONNECTION WITHIN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR. THIS CONDITION MAY RESULT IN REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL ASSIST." ACCORDING TO THEM, I WILL KNOW WHEN MY INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYS THE WARNING AND THEN THEY WILL BE WILLING TO CORRECT THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP, BUT NOT UNTIL THAT TIME. GM GOES ON TO INFORM ME THAT I MAY BE WITHOUT MY CAR FOR AN EXTENDED LENGTH OF TIME WHILE THEY ORDER PARTS AND DO REPAIRS. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO WILL BE INCONVENIENCED FOR THEIR LACK OF PROPER WORKMANSHIP. FURTHERMORE, I FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE ALSO. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSES NEEDLESS HARM TO SOMEONE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HWY GOING ABOUT 70-75 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME. THE ROAD CONDITION WAS NICE WITH NO SIGNS OF WATER ON THE HIGHWAY DURING THE HOURS OF 2 PM, GREAT SUNNY DAY. THE CAR JERKED ON ME LIKE THE THROTTLE WAS GOING DOWN. AFTERWARDS THE CAR JERKED AGAIN AND THE TRACTION LIGHT NOTIFICATION STARTED TO BEEP AND THE CAR IDLED DOWN AND I COULDN'T INCREASE MY SPEED. I CONTINUED ON THE HWY ASSUMING IT WOULD RECTIFY ITSELF BUT MY GIRL (WHO MAINLY DRIVES THE CAR), INFORMED ME IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER THE PAST YEAR OFF AND ON PROBABLY ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH. THAT THE WEATHER CONDITION DIDN'T MATTER IT WOULD POP UP AND SLOW DOWN AND SHE'D HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR TO TURN IT BACK ON TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ABOUT HER DAY NORMALLY. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE BUT IT NEVER DID FIX ITSELF. I HAD TO FINALLY TAKE AN EXIT AND STOPPED AT A GAS STATION. MIGHT AS WELL TAKE A BREAK WHILE. AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES, I CRANKED THE CAR AND THE ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF AND I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DAY. *TR
