Reduced engine power, loss of traction control, etc. 2011 Malibu

[bradleydfiji]

A few times last week I was driving down the road and all of a sudden my warning lights on my dashboard were going off. My check engine light came on. I lost traction control. I had reduced engine power. I couldn't accelerate above 15 miles per hour. My rpms were acting crazy. Both times I had to pull over and turn off my car and clear everything out with my code reader. I started it up and it works fine for about three days. I've read it could be the throttle body. I've read about faulty wiring. I'm not sure what it could be. If anyone has any ideas I sure would appreciate it.

Have you been to the Malibu forum? I think there were some folks there that had that issue as well.

So, what was the code(s) that were stores?

is this a real problem of just nonsense post ?

post what happened and the codes you cleared. this is a dangerous failure if it is a true story.

JCat, it probably is a TAC problem...
