I was driving straight at 47mph on a major street in denver and the check engine light came on. at the same time, the display read "engine power is reduced" and i lost all acceleration. my speed dropped to about 20mph very quickly (5 to 8 seconds). luckily there was relatively light traffic. i pulled into an autozone that was at the next intersection and they read the error code p2138. come to find out this shows an error with the throttle/pedal position censor. i got back in my car to drive home and within 30 seconds, the check engine light went off and my car ran like normal. i'm still very worried about this sensor however. when i looked this up online tonight, i came to find out this is a common problem yet chevy has decided not to recall this part. doing more research lead me to the class action lawsuit which has been by rothschild v. general motors llc, case no. 1:19-cv-05240, in the u.s. district court for the eastern district of new york. from what i read, and knowing that i drive 35,000 miles per year for work, i believe this ...

Service eas warning light comes on. then the rear brake lights stay on. the service power steering warning light comes on & the car is very hard to control & nearly impossible to steer. this is extremely dangerous & unsafe.

Check engine light and reduced engine power vehicle won't accelerate on highway in traffic
When driving down a highway to drop off kid at school, the car sometimes slows down on its own and a message comes on stating engine power reduced. at 6:30 am in the morning when it's still dark, this is going to cause a car crash sooner or later. but dealer says there is no recall.
While driving on freeway going 70 mph, my traction control, check engine light, and a warning flash across my dashboard saying engine speed reduced. my car went from going 70 mph to 40 mph and wouldn't go any higher. i immediately got off the freeway took pictures of the lights. luckily i have a anti left device that reads off codes for my check engine like code p2138 is what came up. this is extremely dangerous, i had my [xxx] child in the car with me and was almost rear ended due to loss of power from such a high speed. *dl parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While driving, the car suddenly flashed the "reduced engine speed" message, and the engine warning light came on. the vehicle would not exceed 20 mph after the message came on. the earliest dealership appointment was for 1/20/20 in a city approximately 30 minutes away; i called the chevrolet warranty line and was advised to try calling other dealerships and take my vehicle to be serviced there, despite my repeated explanations of the safety risk due to the engine failure. i received my car back today (1/22/20) and was told the accelerator wiring was replaced under a "special" warranty extension and that they are not providing the warranty rental car coverage.
The accelerator pedal censor is faulty and causes the vehicle to start to power down. this common in many chevrolet models from the impala, to the malibu and cruze.
On jan 6 2020. i was driving a 2016 chevy malibu, when the check engine light and engine reduce power light came on. i pulled over and let the car seat for maybe 10 mins. i restarted the vehicle and begin driving again (it was pulling normal). about 3 miles down the road i was making a left turn and the car stop pulling and the reduce engine power light comes on which leaves me in the middle of a intersection section causing a vehicle coming from my right side to slam into the side of vehicle deploying all of my airbags and making on-star assistance come on. in the result i have neck, back and side injury from the impact. which in the result i'm getting sued because my car stalled in the middle of the turn going left. my car was totaled out and my insurance don't want to pay the full value of what i was leasing it for. which i have to come out the pocket with expenses. after reviewing the "engine reduce power" and doing my research i come to find out it has been numerous complaints. i could have lost my life!
