I was driving and my car started to reduce speed, hesitate, and jerk when put my foot on the gas at a light to pull off or even with my foot on the gas pedal driving. My car couldn't pick up speed past 25 miles and sometime less. A message came up on my dash board stated flashing reduce engine speed. I was near auto zone when it happened so I asked to have a dianostic completed and it stated throttle/ pedal position sensor/ switch "e" circuit low input meaning code p2127.

Takara recall I was on my way to a store driving and my car started shaking and so I got of the interstate and it starting acting like it was losing power so I pulled over shut it of for a hr and turned it back on tried to go in reverse nothing happened tried to go in drive nothing happened it didnt yo anywhere so I put 2 quarts of transmission fluid in it then it would go in drive but no reverse. I brought it to a garage and a ton of codes came up they cleared it and told me not to worrie about it but it smelt weird and I new something was wrong.I believe it has something to do with the transmission cables and a throttle sensor because it was acting like it wanted to go fast n the throttle would accelerate when I didnt push more on the paddle kinda like it was stuck in cruise control but even when I press the brakes it still rev.

The catalytic converter in my car needs replacement. I have been the only owner and have maintained it properly. The car has a little under 67,000 miles and occasionally loses power. It is a major safety issue as this happens sporadically. I can not with 100 percent certainty merge into traffic knowing that it will accelerate fast enough. I had a diagnostic run on the car and was told that the catalytic converter is the issue and needs replacement. I contacted the dealership in el paso, tx and they claim that some pontiac g6 models (based on VIN) have been recalled, but that mine is not one of them. I have looked up related cases and don't understand why my car's VIN is not included. I love my car and it has served me well, until now. I hope that someone, anyone with some authority is reading this. I hope that that person does some investigating and realizes that this issue is not isolated and should be an open recall. It is most definitely a safety issue. I do not feel that it is safe to continue to drive my vehicle, but am forced to as I cannot afford to have it fixed. The acceleration issue has happened on the freeway and on city streets. I have stopped using the freeway for safety reasons. Please look into this issue.
