problem #2

Malibu

  • 18,000 miles
When trying to accelerate on the highway and merging if I get close to 3 RPM to get up to 60-65 mph M engine light appears on the dash as well as my traction sensor light and my car will no longer allow me to accelerate. Also after this happens it will not allow me to use my cruise control. This has happened multiple times over the last few months. I took it to my dealership to have it fixed twice the first time they could not figure out what was wrong the second time they discovered 3 of my fuel injectors were broken. I still experience this issue and it is very scary not being able to accelerate on the highway with big semis and other vehicles coming behind me.
