As I was driving, around 30 MPH, the warning displays "reduced engine speed" and the car will barely reach 45 MPH. Twice in 5 years, we have had to replace the accelerator pedal position sensor.

I purchased a 2008 chevy impala ltz from a reputable certified used car dealership (merrolis chevrolet 9 mile and gratiot). I also had a warranty. In less than two months I had a service invoice for over 1300.00 the car needed a airbag coil replacement (477.00) steering difficulties. Also. The converter needed replacement (877.00). This makes the car sound like it needs a new muffler. I complained to the manager in service and I'm awaiting a response 11-13-15. He was supposed to call me back on friday 11-13-15 but did not.

Was driving on busy one lane road, reduced speed, check traction control, check engine light came on and car slowed down to 45 and would not go any faster, was able to pull off of road and shut car off started about 5 minutes later no indication of the problem. Two days later the problem came back. Went to internet to check problem seems like there have been 100,000 s of these problems many resulting in accidents. It does not show that there has been a recall. This is very serious if I would have been on a freeway with trucks traveling at high speed I could have been killed. What has the vehicle safety board done to protect owners of faulty vehicles?
