NHTSA complaint #11071562, filed 2018-02, 125,000 miles“Had Chevy manager call me to discuss why they replaced throttle due to hesitation in gas when applied to gas pedal. I just had replaced a catalytic converter due to not passing smog. Called local Chevy dealer about the throttle causing unnecessary wear of my catalytic converter.

I went forward with local shop that actually had one. …”
