2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA Engine Problems

I started my vehicle in the morning to let it warm up. I come back out to get myself and my son in the vehicle to go to work and take him to school. My dash upon entry had a check engine light on, and the message it displayed was "engine power reduced." I put my car into reverse, having no choice but to drive it and the traction control went out. My father in law pulled the code and it said something about the accelerator sensor. This is a known issue and recall in other models and I wanted to report it is also happening in my model.

My Engine is shaking back-and-forth and it’s a new engine not new jd byrider replaced last month and I got the same problem again today

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front-end of the vehicle would lower and the front end was unstable. In addition, the check engine warning light would remain illuminated. The vehicle was also consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The engine fan had failed and the transmission was faulty. No further information was available. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

Mileage: 120,000

The car can have moments of power loss where the speedometer suddenly, erratically spikes while the tachometer slightly lags. It almost stalled my vehicle while transmission was in drive while stopped. It feels like dragging when the power loss occurs. This has occurred randomly for the past month, mostly during interstate driving with cruise control operating. It has happened the last six times I have driven, but the previous several times it did not occur. It also occurred in a similar random fashion for the prior two weeks. When it does occur it feels like power drain and deceleration that can last a second and this will occur several times during a twenty minute drive at 70mph. Mechanics at two shops seem confused and don't know where to begin except for a transmission fluid flush. That was completed and the problem has persisted. There are no related error codes. To lose power suddenly and unexpectedly could cause an accident especially if a system failure shuts off the vehicle while driving. This vehicle has had an oil consumption/burning problem since I bought it with around 60,000miles. It needed 2 quarts of oil added between the last oil changes. I have spent $1400 in July of this year on gasket replacements and that did not stop the leak. More gasket heads and an oil pan are going to be need to replaced and the estimate is another $1400. This is too much to be spending on possibly related issues in a short time span that may not resolve the problem.

AUTO TOTALED SEPT 8, 2020. LOST CONSCIENCE WITH TAILPIPE LOOSE AT BACK OF CAT CONVERTER. DIAGNOSED WITH LOW BLOOD SUGAR AT HOSPITAL. SEVERE INJURIES: SPINAL, RIGHT ARM, LEFT LEG.

THE DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED THAT THERE ARE 11 CODES IN THE VEHICLE SYSTEM. THESE CODES RANGED FROM PASSKEY SYSTEM FAILURES TO EVAP CODES TO TRANSMISSION. SUSPECTED FAILURE OF WIRING HARNESS ALTOGETHER WITH POSSIBLE BCM/CAM FAILURE AS WELL. DURING BATTERY TEST THERE WAS A REGULAR DROP IN VOLTAGE WHILE CONNECTED TO THE SCANNER REFLECTING A DRAIN IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT COULD FURTHER BE CAUSING AN ISSUE. CODES ARE P0513 , P0523 , P0700 , P2122 , P0411, P0449 ,P0455. WHEN DRIVING STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND STABILITRACK TRACTION CONTROL. SOMETIMES THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK , I'D W OK OLD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY OR STREET AND POP THE HOOD JUST TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN.

2010 CHEVY IMPALA ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE ALREADY HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING ALL OF THE TIME AND NOW AFTER PUTTING NEW TIRES ON IT, I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND GET "SERVICE STABILITRACK," "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL," AND "ENGINE POWER REDUCED." I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO A TURNING LANE AND GET TO A PARKING LOT WITHOUT GETTING MYSELF KILLED. I STILL, HOWEVER, HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW I'M GETTING HOME FROM WORK! I HAD NOTICED WHEN I FIRST WENT OUT THAT IT SEEMED TO BE SHIFTING HARD, BUT THE ROADS WERE WET, SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS THE STABILITRACK KICKING IN, NOT GOING OUT! I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN, WHO THANKFULLY WERE NOT WITH ME. THE CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT. WITH SUCH LOW-MILEAGE, I FIGURED I WAS GOOD TO GO FOR AWHILE.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY IMPALA LT WITH 90K+ MILES ON IT. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 USED WITH 40K+ MILES ON IT, SO THE CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED THROUGH WARRANTY. ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAC, ETC. I'M A FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT, AND A FULL TIME UBER DRIVER. LAST NIGHT I WAS WITH A PASSENGER ON [XXX] TOWARDS O'HARE AIRPORT. MY CAR REDUCED SPEED AND SUDDENLY DROPPED SPEED FROM 70MPH DOWN TO 50MPH. AS I TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHT AND START STEERING TO THE RIGHT TO GET ONTO THE SHOULDER I WAS IN THE THIRD LANE TO THE RIGHT (THE EXPRESSWAY IS 4 LANES) AS I WAS TURNING TO THE RIGHT TO GET ONTO THE SHOULDER AND TO GET TO SAFETY MY STEERING LOCKS, AND THERE WAS A RECKLESS DRIVER GOING 100MPH TRYING TO CUT OFF TRAFFIC. THE LANES TO THE LEFT WERE BLOCKED SO HE HAD TO CUT ME OFF BY OVERTAKING ME BY GOING ONTO THE SHOULDER. HE DAMAGED HIS RIGHT REARVIEW MIRROR AND PROBABLY SCRAPPED THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS CAR PULLING OFF THAT RECKLESS STUNT. HAD I DELAYED THE BREAKING FOR A SECOND I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE MAKING THIS POST TODAY. LUCKILY I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND TOOK THE NEARBY [XXX], AND WAITED WITH MY PASSENGER AT THE NEARBY TARGET PARKING LOT FOR THE NEXT UBER DRIVER TO PICK UP MY PASSENGER AND GET HER SAFELY TO THE AIRPORT. HAD I NOT ACTED QUICKLY, MY UBER PASSENGER WOULD HAVE MISSED HER FLIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HWY GOING ABOUT 70-75 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME. THE ROAD CONDITION WAS NICE WITH NO SIGNS OF WATER ON THE HIGHWAY DURING THE HOURS OF 2 PM, GREAT SUNNY DAY. THE CAR JERKED ON ME LIKE THE THROTTLE WAS GOING DOWN. AFTERWARDS THE CAR JERKED AGAIN AND THE TRACTION LIGHT NOTIFICATION STARTED TO BEEP AND THE CAR IDLED DOWN AND I COULDN'T INCREASE MY SPEED. I CONTINUED ON THE HWY ASSUMING IT WOULD RECTIFY ITSELF BUT MY GIRL (WHO MAINLY DRIVES THE CAR), INFORMED ME IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER THE PAST YEAR OFF AND ON PROBABLY ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH. THAT THE WEATHER CONDITION DIDN'T MATTER IT WOULD POP UP AND SLOW DOWN AND SHE'D HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR TO TURN IT BACK ON TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ABOUT HER DAY NORMALLY. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE BUT IT NEVER DID FIX ITSELF. I HAD TO FINALLY TAKE AN EXIT AND STOPPED AT A GAS STATION. MIGHT AS WELL TAKE A BREAK WHILE. AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES, I CRANKED THE CAR AND THE ISSUE SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF AND I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DAY. *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, THEN YOU GET A MESSAGE SAYING THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THEN YOU GET A MESSAGE SAYING THE CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT NOW IT'S A LOT MORE FREQUENT. THIS SATURDAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 ON A THREE LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER/BREAK DOWN LANE. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING UP A HILL. CARS WERE FLYING UP BEHIND ME AND SWERVING TO MISS ME. NORMALLY IT TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND YOU CAN RESTART THE CAR. THIS TIME IT WAS ALMOST 10 MINUTES. I HAD A PANIC ATTACK SITTING THERE. ONCE THE CAR FINALLY STARTED I DROVE ABOUT 50 FEET AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. LUCKILY THERE WAS A DUNKIN DONUTS THERE AND I COASTED INTO THE PARKING LOT. I SAT THERE ABOUT 20 MINUTES SO I COULD CATCH MY BREATH, STOP CRYING AND COMPOSED MYSELF. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THEY SAID IT WAS MY GAS PEDAL, AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $164. HOWEVER WHEN YOU RESEARCH THIS ON THE WEB, YOU WILL SEE MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE GAS PEDAL FIXED IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THERE SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND PERHAPS GET KILLED. *TR

I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP, BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND IT CAUSED A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'VE READ ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH IMPALA'S AND SOMETHING THAT IS A DESIGN FLAW, AS THE SHUTTING DOWN OF THE CAR IS NOT NEEDED. HAD I BEEN IN TRAFFIC, A LARGE CAR PILE UP WOULD HAVE RESULTED. *JS

WHEN THE INCIDENT FIRST OCCURRED, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DASH READ "SERVICE STABILITRAK", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". IT SEEMED FINE WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE NEXT INCIDENT DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL A WHILE LATER, AND THEN IT WASN'T THAT BAD. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I WAS DRIVING BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, EXCEPT IT SAID "STARTING DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE" AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES. IT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE. EVENTUALLY, LEADING UP TO TODAY, MY CAR GOT WORSE AND WORSE, AND EVENTUALLY IT JUST STARTED TURNING OFF AT STOPLIGHTS WITH THE MESSAGE "STARTING DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE". IT STARTS WITH THE OTHER MESSAGES ALMOST AS SOON AS I TURN ON THE CAR. THE ENGINE REVS AND THE CAR SOUNDS AWFUL. *TR

AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON .SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO 15 MPH. HAD TO PULL OVER TURN CAR OFF . THEN RESTARTED IT AGAIN IT WAS FINE FOR A MONTH . IT REPEATED SAME PROBLEM. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON .HDHAD CODE READ SAYING THROTTLE CABLE AND TRACTION CONTROL.TO ME THAT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HIGHWAY DRIVING THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT .I CAN SEE THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH GENERAL MOTORS WITH IMPALAS AND OTHER MODELS SINCE 2008.HOW MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS WOULD IT TAKE UNTIL ITS FIXED .COMPLAINTS KEEP COMING UP AFTER THROTTLE BODIES REPLACED STILL HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS. I GO TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT HAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND IS GIVING ME MESSAGES OF ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK. THE CAR STILL DRIVES WHEN THIS IS ON, BUT ITS REALLY DOGGIE, AND SHIFTS HARD. *TR

MY IMPALA KEEPS GIVING ME A WARNING LIGHT THAT SAY SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. IT STAY ON FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN GOES OFF. CANNOT SEEM TO FIND OUT WHY IT IS DOING THIS BUT VERY CONCERNED THAT MY CARS SPEED WILL REDUCE WHILE I AM IN TRAFFIC. *TR

I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT APPROXIMATELY 2 YRS AGO, I BEGAN SEEING THE SEQUENCE OF MESSAGES, "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED," AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT. THE CAR SPEED WAS OBVIOUSLY REDUCED AND I COULDN'T REALLY ACCELERATE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO CARMAX AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, BUT SEEMINGLY ALWAYS ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE I'M TRAVELING AROUND 65--70 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RESEARCH WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM. I THINK THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHEVY I PURCHASE! *TR

EVERY OTHER WEEK OR SO I GET THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED/ SERVICE STABILTRACK/ SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER. AFTER AN HOUR OR SO OF SITTING WITH THE CAR OFF, IT RESETS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL THAT EVENTUALLY ALSO RESETS. TODAY I WAS DRIVING THE SAME TROUBLE CODES CAME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, THE POWER STEERING WAS DISENGAGED IT ALSO MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY THIS TIME. LUCKILY I PULLED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND THE CAR RESET AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. THIS WARNING LIGHT AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE BUT I NEVER LOST COMPLETE POWER TO THE ENGINE AND STEERING LIGHT UNTIL TODAY. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ISSUE THAT IS ONGOING WITH MANY GM OWNERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY! *TR

I OWN A 2010 IMPALA WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE A WIRING PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN I GOOGLE THE PROBLEM TO TRY AND FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG IT SEEMS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE IMPALA. THE PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF, IT JUST DIES RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FIRST THE TRACTION LIGHT WILL COME ON A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN YOUR CAR WILL SAY SOMETHING LIKE SHUTTING DOWN, THEN IT WILL JUST TURN OFF. THIS IS VERY SCARY. IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ISN'T IT A MATTER THAT CHEVY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL? I CAN'T IMAGINE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO MOST CARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A FEATURE THAT SHUTS DOWN THE POWER IF THE CAR THINGS IT IS LOSING CONTROL OF THE TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM IS, THE TIRES ARE FINE BUT THE SENSOR IS MESSED UP. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME ISSUE. IT CAN'T BE SAFE TO HAVE CARS JUST SHUT DOWN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ALMOST HIT! MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR. I WAS BARLEY IN THE SHOULDER AS IT SHUT DOWN RIGHT AS I WAS PULLING ONTO IT. *TR

DRIVING HOME FRIDAY NIGHT 12/26/12 ON CRUISE SET AT 65, BANG, CAR DROPPED POWER DRASTICALLY, KICKED OFF CRUISE, AND THE THREE ROTATING MESSAGES APPEARED ON DASH, 1)SERVICE STABILITRAK, 2)SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, & 3)ENGINE POWER REDUCED. BOTH ORANGE PLACARDS LIT UP ON DASH, SERVICE ENGINE AND TRACTION. PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND RE STARTED THE CAR. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEEDS BUT CODES STILL ROTATING AND PLACARDS STILL LIT. COULDN'T GET IT INTO THE SHOP UNTIL MONDAY 12/31/12. WHEN I STARTED IT UP TO TAKE IT IN, CODES WERE ALL CLEARED AND CAR RAN JUST FINE. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS THE PEDAL SENSOR AND WOULD COST ME $275 TO REPAIR. HOW CAN WE GET GM TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ON GOING ISSUE? THIS IS A 2010 CHEVY IMPALA LT WITH 45000 ON IT. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS SAME SENSOR FAILING AT ABOUT 45000 MILES. A SUDDEN DROP IN POWER TO A SPEED OF 25 WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS AMAZING WITH AS MANY FAILURES AS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO GM ON JUST THE EDMUNDS CAR FORM SITE ALONE THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY SERIOUS CRASHES. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND SEE IF YOU CAN'T GET GM TO RECALL THESE SENSORS AND GET THEM REPLACED WITH BETTER ONES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, NEARLY AT THE END OF A 50 MILE TRIP, THE CAR WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY WITH NO ABNORMAL NOISES OR INDICATIONS OF PROBLEMS. I DROVE THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT AND WAS MAKING A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN, TRAVELING AT ABOUT 15 MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SCREECHED TO AN IMMEDIATE HALT AND STALLED THE ENGINE. THE SUDDEN STOP WAS VIOLENT AND THREW ME AGAINST MY SEATBELT. I MOVED THE GEAR SELECTOR LEVER FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE. THE ENGINE RAN SMOOTH AND WITHOUT ANY UNUSUAL NOISE. I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE AND IT MADE LOUD GRINDING AND CLUNKING SOUNDS. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, BUT STILL IT WOULD NOT MOVE AND AGAIN MADE LOUD NOISES. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND A FRIEND CAME OVER TO HELP ME PUSH THE CAR TO A MORE SAFE AREA, BUT STILL THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. APPARENTLY THE DRIVETRAIN WAS LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT MOVE, NO MATTER WHAT GEAR POSITION THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN. THE CAR WAS LATER DRAGGED ON TO A FLATBED TRUCK AND TAKEN TO MY LOCAL AUTO SERVICE CENTER, WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TO BE FIXED UNDER THE GM 100,000MI/5 YEAR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I AM VERY SHAKEN UP BY THIS INCIDENT AND FEAR WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN IF THE VEHICLES FRONT WHEELS WOULD HAVE VIOLENTLY LOCKED UP LIKE THIS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I FEAR THE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. I HOPE GM AND THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS INCIDENT AND FIND THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH THE GOAL OF PREVENTING THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR
