Description of the problem | I was driving in subdivision at 20mph and vehicle went into limp mode. It had a message saying engine power reduced, service stability track and check engine light was on. It would not accelerate more than 5mph. This is very dangerous! Luckily i was not going 70 on the freeway. I've been reading on chevy forums and gm forums of this happening to thousands of people. Many got in accidents because of reduced acceleration to 3 or 5 mph. I took it to the dealer it has a p2135 code and is die to a bad throttle body and throttle positioning sensor. The chevy manufacturer is not willing to do anything about it although it's a known issue to chevy and gmc cars from many years of vehicles, from what i've read 2009 to current year. Mine is a 2012 chevy cruze lt. There is a special coverage of pedal accelerator fracture but the dealer said it's not related to my issue, i have a hard time believing this. Here is a note of what the dealer looked at and diagnosed. |
