The other day my 2011 chevy Malibu started to violently shake coming out of a parking lot and then again while driving on a two lane road. This issue was frightening because I couldn¿t properly stop the car and almost got into an accident. The display indicated reduced engine power/traction/service esc and the obd2 codes indicated p2135 (throttle/pedal position sensor/sw a/b voltage correlation). The chevy dealership replaced the throttle body. I hope this does not happen again because the next time I may not be so lucky in getting out of this predicament unscathed.
