What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 chevrolet malibu. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH in the rain, the contact rear-ended another vehicle that had made an unexpected stop. The vehicle's air bags deployed upon impact; after the impact, the vehicle accelerated on its own. The contact was unable to use the brake pedal due to the vehicle's air bags deploying. The contact then forced the vehicle into park and applied the emergency brake, but to no avail.
When turning left from a stop my car all at once said engine power reduced to 25MPH, service airbag, service stabilitrac, and service brake assist.
