www-odi.nhtsa.... Please go to this link and report your problem to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Send them the link to this video if you have to and ask that they read the comments themselves. This should be a recall, it is happening in many different models of cars over many model years. Someone said their 2017 is doing it too, 2017??!! That's a brand new car with the same glitch that has been happening for almost five years!
Our car is about two years old with 35,000 miles. Two months ago the check engine light came on along with the traction control light, the engine began running rough and a "Reduced Engine Power" message appeared on the dash. The car struggled to go 20 or 30 miles per hour, was running rough, and hunting around for the right gear. When still it idled very rough as if multiple cylinders were misfiring.
We brought it to a dealer and they said there weren't any error codes so there wasn't anything to fix. We didn't know any better so we took it home. We learned via google it's a common glitch and that after sitting for ten to twenty minutes the car's computer clears the error codes, the car runs fine and there's nothing to diagnose or fix....until it happens again. It has happened two more times to us and both times the car did the same thing but cleared itself after sitting for a while.
The car is used mostly by my wife to transport our two kids around so this is something that absolutely has to be fixed. It is unacceptable that there is a chance the car will be reduced to 20 or 30 mph on Rt 78 in NJ where traffic regularly moves at 70 to 80 mph.
We leased this car new from Rossi Chevrolet in July, 2014 and we're now counting on them to get it fixed once and for all.
If this happens to you, find a safe place to park the car and just let it sit for ten to twenty minutes, the problems will clear and you'll be able to drive again. Once it happens though it seems to come back with less and less time between each occurrence.
