Chevrolet Malibu Electronic Stability Control Safety Report | Jan 14, 2014
Reported on Jan 14, 2014
| I HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING AT A RATE OF 65MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGINS SHAKING TERRIBLY, MY SPEED DROPS BACK TO 20 MPH AND LIGHTS LIGHT UP INDICATING REDUCED ENGINE POWER , ESC OFF , AND SOMETHING REGARDING STABILITY CONTROL SERVICE. CAN I SAY SCARED OUT OF MY MIND AND TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AT THE THE SAME TIME AS THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO PRETTY MUCH SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME. I HAD ONSTAR TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO BE INFORMED THAT IT IS MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. I CALLED THE OURISMAN SERVICE DEPT IN BOWIE, MD AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, WHICH I FIND TO BE TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!! I WILL BE CALLING GM TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND ASK THAT THIS REPAIR BE COVERED OR I WILL HAVE TO TAKE OTHER STEPS TO SEEK SOME SATISFACTORY ASSISTANCE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS DEFECT, AS IT IS NOT A FAULT OF THE CONSUMER BUT EVIDENTIALLY DEFECTED PARTS THAT ARE BEING INSTALLED BY GM COMPANY...WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION...I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO SUFFER SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH BEFORE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE!! SIGNED: NOT A HAPPY CHEVY OWNER. | |
