Description of the problem	I was driving and the reduced engine power, service stabili track, check engine warnings came on. My car would only accelerate to 5mph. Luckily i wasn't on the freeway, was only going 20 mph and almost home. Very dangerous. I put an end code reader on it and it's a p2135 code, throttle positioning sensor. I have been reading chevy cruze forums as well as in chevy forums in the past week, a minimum of 1000 people that i can see have had this issue. Many have been in accidents because of this. Its occured in mainly chevy cruze but also impalas, gmc vehicles. I took it to the dealer and i need a new throttle body, there is no special coverage although its occured in thousands of vehicles if not 10s of thousands! It's dangerous! There is a special coverage for pedal accelerator fracture but they say mine is fine and not related to throttle body. This needs to be addressed with chevy and it should be recalled or have special coverage. Here is a readout from the mechanic.
