Misfire cyl #1 and eng lt. With misfire code, attempted chev dealer warranty repair with removal of cyl head and replacemnt valves [the cheap fix instead of replacing cyl head, in retrospect I believe chev should have replaced the cyl head for a permanent repair, now the car is out of 100K powertrain warranty] but recurrence 22K miles later. I suspect a design flaw. Iternet shows many owners with same complaint. Traction control light continues to come off and on.

On April 1,2018 I was driving on a busy road going 45mph when my car suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. A couple of warning light flashed on the dashboard ESC as well as the engine light. The car began to jerk and drive really rough, before the engine power lost flashed on the dash. I turned on my hazard lights and tried to get the car off the road to a safe area. The car could only cruise because I could no longer accelerate. This car just made it to 82000 miles on the dash, I should not be having an issue like this with this car. This is a very dangerous situation as someone could be seriously injured or even worst death. Please please bring awareness to this issue, which a lot of owners of this vehicle is having.

As I was driving to work on the interstate 95 I noticed the car violently shaking and throttling uncontrollably, the dashboard read service ESC and the traction control sensor came on. I let off of the gas and the car was still accelerating, I pressed the bakes and it wouldn't stop the car from lunging forward. I pulled to the side of highway and turned the car off. I waited a couple minutes and the problem was still there but not lunging forward anymore but the speed was limited to 20 mph I made it to work. After a 9 hour shift the shaking stopped but check engine light still on.

Please bring this email with you when you go for service.last 8 characters of VIN: [xxx] I took the car to manassas Chevrolet 1st and was told that the they needed to conduct a carbon flush and that coil 1 was bad which cause the lights to come. Paid a tune up. After paying over $600 the lights came back on. I took it back 3 times and was told it needed to burn the carbon off and coil 2 needed to be replaced. I took the car to lindsay Chevrolet for a 2nd opinion because both lights came on again. I was told that coil 2 was replaced by the manassas Chevy and was bad. I needed a new engine. I then took it to repair shop in gaithersburg and was told coil 2 was bad, bad a spark plug and cyclinder gaskets were bad. I did not need a new engine. The computer is going bad and thus the reason the check engine and service traction light keeps coming on after all of the above repairs were completed.
