I decided to lease a 2016 Malibu of February 2016. The car was great until months later I started to have problems. I was driving to school on the freeway in October 2016, when my car suddenly went into reduce speed engine. I was driving approximately 65 to 70 mph. I was in the left lane of the freeway. As I was driving my car dashboard display reduce speed engine, then immediately my car went from 70 mph to 30 mph to 20mph. I manage to get my car to the emergency lane of the freeway. The problem was fixed that following week, with complications of trying to get a rental car so I can go to work and school. 2017 October 31st, I was driving to go pick up my son from school. I was on a major street. My car went into reduce speed engine. I was driving 35 mph. My car went from 35 to 20 mph's again. I managed to pull into a near bank. Shaken up I parked my car and turn it off and then back on within five minutes. The light was still display on my dashboard. I drove to my son school. I couldn't drive over 10 mph. It normally take 10 minutes to drive to my son school it 25. It took even longer to get back home. November 30th, same problem happen again. While driving on a major highway. Once again I was in the left lane driving the reduce speed engine came on. My car slowed down. I had cars behind me honking their horns at me nearly causing a few accidents. I manage to get off the freeway. I did not want to be stuck on the freeway while it was dark. I was stranded at a nearby gas station for close to two hours. The problems I keep having with this car is dangerous. I refuse to drive a vehicle that can potentially cause me or my son our lives.

Go down the highway at speed limit then lose power with check engine and reduction of power lights come one. We can shut off the engine and wait a few minutes. Then turn the car back on with no problems for undeterred time frame before it does it again.

While driving on the expressway my check engine light came on with the message reduced engine power. The car slowed from 60 miles to 20 miles instantly, I panicked but was able to exit without harm. Once on the street the car would not exceed 20 mph. Almost like the transmission was pulling. I received an email from on star diagnostic stating critical issue with engine and transmission service immediately. I got to the dealer at the earliest allowed and the customer service tech told me the code showing was for the trottel and not the engine or transmission, but they would have to do a complete check. One hour later the customer service tech called for me and gave me my keys saying there is no known fix at this time for my problem and they reset the codes. If it happens again give them a call. At the time of the incident I was driving 60 mph and the mileage on my car was about 39,980.

While I was pulling into a parking spot, my 2016 Chevrolet Malibu suddenly accelerated without any warning. This sudden unintended acceleration caused my vehicle to jump the curb and strike a tree, which caused extensive damage to the passenger side fender, front grill etc.

While merging onto a highway, the vehicle lost engine power and the "check engine" light came on. The information panel then displayed two warnings, including "engine power is reduced" and would not let the vehicle accelerate more than 40 mph. The information panel also stated "service driver assist system." The dealer states it's an issue with a faulty accelerator pedal terminal? however, this issue has happened three times over the past few months and is very dangerous when traveling on the roads, and power/acceleration is reduced and capped at 40 mph.
