37 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2017

First time this happen I was on the freeway going around 70 mph when the check engine light when on and a massage saying engine power is reduce the car begun to shake and speed when down to around 40 mph from 70 mph in seconds, I keep accelerating but the car was not picking up any speed even though my rpm when up to 4 and 5 my car wasn't going any faster. This happen over and over again. I took the car back to the dealer first couple of times they said nothing was wrong with the car. But the issue continue now after so many times they figure out that some sensors need to be replace and also the accelerator pedal was not working. I really hope this is fix.

38 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2017

While driving on the expressway my check engine light came on with the message reduced engine power. The car slowed from 60 miles to 20 miles instantly, I panicked but was able to exit without harm. Once on the street the car would not exceed 20 mph. Almost like the transmission was pulling. I received an email from on star diagnostic stating critical issue with engine and transmission service immediately. I got to the dealer at the earliest allowed and the customer service tech told me the code showing was for the trottel and not the engine or transmission, but they would have to do a complete check. One hour later the customer service tech called for me and gave me my keys saying there is no known fix at this time for my problem and they reset the codes. If it happens again give them a call. At the time of the incident I was driving 60 mph and the mileage on my car was about 39,980.
