The recall on the Chevy Malibu involved faulty throttle position sensors that verify the car's performance and throttle operation. The defective sensor caused the car to throttle excessively, posing a risk to the engine over time. The sensors were replaced at no cost, but if you paid for it yourself, it would be around $300. Keep in mind this applies to older models and may not be covered for newer ones.

I just got my car back in late February. After only 2 days, a warning light for engine power reduction came on. I returned to the dealership and was informed that it was related to the accelerator pedal. They replaced the pedal multiple times, but yesterday while driving, the entire pedal came off and had to be towed back to the dealership. Should I be concerned about the reliability of this car?
