2016 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

MY CAR ALL OF SUDDEN ON FREEWAY SNATCHED BACK FROM DOING 65 PLUS TO FREAKING LESS THAN 30 MILES INSTANTLY "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" MESSAGE APPEARS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVERYDAY MY CAR WILL NOT DRIVE OVER 30-35 MPH. I HAVE TWO KIDS THIS IS NOT SAFE. I TRAVEL! I TAKE MY CAR TO PENSKE CHEVROLET OF CERRITOS DEALER AND THEY CLAIM ITS A ACCELERATOR PAD SENSOR. PRIOR TO TAKING MY CAR TO DEALER I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH A CO WORKER WHO HAS THE SAME CAR SHE TOLD ME THE ISSUE BEFOREHAND BECAUSE SHE EXPERIENCED IT AND WAS STUCK ON A HIGHWAY!THEY ALSO STATE THAT "EVERY MALIBU IS HAVING THIS ISSUE" AND DUE TO THAT THE ITEM IS ON BACK ORDER. I HAD TO PAY AND STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR OF THAT ITEM WHICH I DON'T THINK IS FAIR. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I FEEL WELL NO IT IS OBVIOUSLY HAZARDOUS AND CHEVY HAS PEOPLE AND KIDS DRIVING IN CARS LIKE THIS ... WHAT IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT? HOW MANY CARS DOES IT TAKE TO REALIZE THIS ITEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR CHEVROLET TO REALIZE THAT THIS NEEDS SERIOUS ATTENTION?
