I was driving on the I-10 West highway at 70mph when all of a sudden a engine power reduced message came across the screen & due to the loss of acceleration I was almost rear ended by an 18 wheeler because I couldn't pull over to the side of the road fast enough...also, on some days when I start my car it doesn't make any noise so therefore the radio will not work, the signal light sounds doesn't work, nor does the seatbelt sounds work.

The car was driving at a high speed and then suddenly slowed down dramatically. An error code, along with the check engine light, came on starting reduced engine speed. The car is not able to speed up at all. This has happened several times. While driving on the freeway, which is very dangerous.

- Conroe, TX, USA

While driving on the freeway or the streets the vehicle looses power. A dashboard light comes on along with the check engine light and the dashboard says engine power is reduced. This causes the car to drop speed and lose power. It really unsafe as twice I've almost been rear ended.

- Houston, TX, USA

Incident has happened twice while driving on highway. Engine light came on, then received an error message of "engine power reduced". engine power and acceleration was reduced dramatically. Luckily there were no cars behind me or I may have been rear ended and involved in an accident. I pulled off on shoulder and turned car off and then turned car back on and engine power and acceleration was restored. Engine light remained on though.

- Kearney, MO, USA

I was driving on the highway, speed limit was 70mph I was going that speed then out of nowhere I got the check engine light and a notice on my dash appeared as 'engine power reduced' and my speed drastically declined I was almost rear ended by a semi truck, I had people in the back of my car and with an impact from a trailer we could have been seriously hurt or even killed. This a reoccurring proble with Malibu's from the year 2016-2019 GM knows about the issue but has done nothing to resolve it. This issue not only puts the driver of the vehicle in harm but others around as well. The problem is the throttle body response sensor which is about a $300-$500 fix which is not an cheap fix. They need to be held responsible for this because one day this could happen to anybody with this type of car and it can kill someone.

When driving the vehicle first the engine light came on and I got a diagnostics it was the mass air flow sensor code coming up. I had the thotle cleaned.... the engine light went off 2 daya later. Then I was driving on the hwy and the engine light came on along with the message engine reduce power. I pulled over shut the car off for 10 seconds, start it again and drive it. It does it on a daily now. And im tired of it this is a brand new car. I got it at 28,000 miles it is now at 53,000 miles. Chevrolet know that this problem is going on with many of the mailibus they need to fix it. I just spent 1,100 on this car for the repairs

My 2016 Chevy Malibu completely lost power twice on 2/6/2020. The engine shut completely down. The first incident happened while waiting in the pick up line at my daughters school which is in a parking lot full of kids. The car just shut completely down while in drive. It actually died. No instrument panel on, no radio on, no heat. I had to put the car in park and then push the pedal along with the push to start button to restart the car. The second incident happened about 15 to 20 minutes later while I was stopped at a traffic light. Once again the car was in drive and just completely shut down. The same thing happened as the first incident but this time I am in heavy traffic during the time when kid's are released from school and people in general are moving around the city. All of this happened during a heavy snow here in my state. For a person driving up behind me I'm sitting there with no lights on at a now green traffic light in unsafe weather conditions. Vehicles were blowing and going around us to avoid an accident. I had to act fast for our safety along with the other drivers on the road. My daughter and myself were scared of being in an accident. I have an appointment tomorrow 2/7/2020 at a General Motors dealership to look into the problem.

Engine reduced light

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

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.

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!
