WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70MPH THE REDUCE ENGINE SPEED MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SPEED REDUCED TO LESS THAN 50MPH.

I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO ALL GM VEHICLES.

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
