Description of the problem | Vehicle has service traction control/service stabilitrak light that pops up every time the car is started. There is also a misfire code in cylinder number 1 which causes the engine to shake violently when parked in idle or sometimes when stopped at a red light. There has been a handful of times when i have made a turn into an intersection which is usually routine, but when i step on the gas there is no response from the engine at all and it leads me to coast for a few seconds at speeds usually from 2-5 mph. The gas pedal can also be pushed in to the floor and the car will not increase in speed for at least 5 seconds. It is very scary when entering intersections after being stopped at a red light or when trying to leave a parking lot. I brought my car to a chevy dealer and they said they had no idea what was wrong with it. From there i brought it to a mechanic who ran tests, changed parts, and cleaned carbon from the engine for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks there was still no clear explanation to why this is happening or how to fix it. This problem is definitely a big concern for safety that should not be happening. |
