Mass Air Flow Sensor Problems of Chevrolet Malibu

When driving the vehicle first the engine light came on and I got a diagnostics it was the mass air flow sensor code coming up. I had the thotle cleaned. . . . The engine light went off 2 daya later. Then I was driving on the hwy and the engine light came on along with the message engine reduce power. I pulled over shut the car off for 10 seconds , start it again and drive it. It does it on a daily now. And im tired of it this is a brand new car. I got it at 28,000 miles it is now at 53,000 miles. Chevrolet know that this problem is going on with many of the mailibus they need to fix it. I just spent 1,100 on this car for the repairs.

In February 2015 my Chevrolet Malibu had an issue with the ignition switch. After taking it to the dealership it was determined that there was a wiring issue. During research it seemed that many people has the same problem with the same year and model. More recently on 09/16/2015 my vehicle had another electronic problem where the engine control module would shutdown causing the engine to shut down while traveling at 40 mpg. This issue had happened in the past that prevented me from starting my car and every electronic device in the car would flash and beep/click out of control. But in this more recent case it happened while driving. Also after more research it looks as if other drivers of the same year and model have had the same issue, some stating that that is the worst year of that model they ever owned and I could not agree more. At the time I had my child in the car with me. I could not stop wondering what would have happened if this incident occurred minutes earlier when I has in a busy highway under az heat with no air conditioning working because the engine would not start. Gm has not have a good reputation with the the quality of their vehicles, specially with electronic components. If the car engine and electronics shut down, would the air bags activate in case of an accident? codes: p0113, p1668 maf (mass air flow sensor) has been replaced with new once after incident and issues have continued.

Check engine light came on, reduced engine speed, low traction lights came on, and could go over 40 mph. We stopped and let it sit for appx 5 minutes, and were able to drive it home. My son has an automotive computer we were able to hook up and it read the mass air flow sensor. We removed it and cleaned it with mass air flow sensor cleaner and replaced it. As soon as we started the car up, the check engine light went off. The car drove fine until 2-7-2015 where the exact same thing happened at appx 74,700 miles. We took it in to the dealership (coughlin automotive in circleville) on 2-14-15. They tested it and it showed the code p2135 #pip2019 they checked connectors for corrosion & damage , but found nothing. They ran the throttle sweep test. It tested ok. They cleared the code & drove & couldn't get it to do it again. They said they just can't replace parts because they cost too much, not knowing exactly what the issue is. They said if it happens again, to bring it in. My wife drives this car every day to columbus ohio during rush hour, on state highways. I'm scared this is going to happen again during rush hour and something bad is going to happen like a serious accident and or loss of life to someone. So, does gm think parts cost more than a loss of life because of this issue??????.
