Vehicle Shudder problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Malibu

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the esc, the service traction control, and the engine reduced power warning lights illuminated. The vehicle also vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed an electrical short in the wiring system, and replaced three different sensors. The technician also reprogrammed the engine control unit. The failures recurred. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 137,000.

Driving down the highway when check engine light flashed, car "squealed", car started shaking, and transmission gave out. I could not accelerate past first gear. In the middle of rush hour traffic, had to coast off the highway to safety. No prior notification (lights, warnings, noises) that there was a transmission issue. Car just recently exceeded the 100000 mile power train warranty. Was notified it was the wake plate that failed. Considering all of the other chevy owners having this same issue, I think chevy should at the very least acknowledge this issue.

I was driving and the car began to shake and jerk, and then the alerts across the dash came up as "service esc", "service traction", and "engine power reduced". I took it to a chevy dealership and was told the throttle body needed to be replaced. After paying $550. 00 for the repair the car seemed to work fine until recently, only two months after the initial repair the same exact thing has happened, and now the dealership is telling me that they do not know what is wrong with the car, there is no recall and I'll either have to trade the car in (which I can't afford to do) or just drive it and hope the problem will correct itself. I am beyond scared to drive it as my daughter is in the car with me, and I do not want to be driving a death trap down the highway. Please help.

Since purchase brand new, my cars rpm's have fluttered between 2000 and 2500, but I did not have any problems until recently. Out of nowhere, my car started shuddered when it was idling in drive position and foot on the brake. It scared me, so I decided not to drive it for awhile. Then I had to take in it for some body work, when I got home from the estimate I stopped to get the mail. Car was in park idling, I put it in drive and pushed on the gas and it did not move! the rpm's stay stuck at 2500 when I took my foot off the gas. I put in back in park then back in drive and accelerated and it still would not move. I turned the car off for a few minutes, restarted it, and got it just far enough to get into my driveway. It does not move but check engine light did not come on until after it broke down!.

During the deep winter we had in detroit starting last Jan - the car reduces speed and engine power reduced/service esc/service traction message comes- this happen endless times and stopped in Feb 2014 then began this past week Jan 8th, 2015 and continues to do so. The car will start shaking violently and drops speed and power eng reduced message comes - even travelling at 70 miles with 2 children inn the icy, snowy roads of mi . I have been lucky nothing happened yet but looking at the chevy forums and others, this is a Chevrolet/gm defect that needs a recall. The dealerships are aware that there is a throttle body issue but we all can do is incur the cost to diagnose how exactly to solve this issue. Gm needs to be held accountable before someone dies on the roads.
