for me it was ice in the turbo. Chevy in their infinite wisdom for the 2015-20 malibus decided to have a sensor in them, and if ice gets in it and it blocks the air flow, it will trip the engine and throw it into a 20% power style mode that won’t clear until you plug a OBD tool into it and clear the errors.
It’s meant as a safety system for the engine and usually resolves itself once you let the ice melt but, it won’t go back to full power or make the light go away until the error is cleared.
When it happens I just flick the hazerds on and run it at whatever speed it lets me actually run it at which is around 20-25 mph
puts on hazards “Jesus, why is everyone cutting me off and getting close. MY CAR ISNT ACTING NORMAL, PLEASE LET ME GET HOME IN PEACE!”
What’s wrong with your car to cause that?

Ok that’s reasonable. I think a lot of people, me included, see more NPCs driving with hazards on for seemingly no reason than driving with them on.
I see people with their hazards on in snowstorm which is the dumbest thing ever because now I can’t tell if you’re braking or turning.
That’s why in normal countries our cars have separate indicators and brake lights.
