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.

Service stabilitrak message displayed and reduced engine power to 0 mph while driving. Throttle body, Accelerator pedal position sensor (whole pedal assembly), and ecm replaced. Issue continues. P2138, P2122, P2127 codes present. Stonebriar chevrolet incompetent to resolve.

SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING AN "ENGINE REDUCED" WARNING WILL POP UP AND WHEN IT DOES SO, THE CAR LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF POWER APPLIED WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND SIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER IS STUCK IN PARK AND THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH DUE TO A VERY POOR ELECTRICAL DESIGN. THE ELECTRICAL WIRES ATTACHED TO THE CONNECTOR THAT OPERATES THE SOLENOID THAT UNLOCKS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER BUTTON IN THE PARK POSITION AND THAT ALSO CONNECTS TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND OPERATES VARIOUS FUNCTIONS SUCH AS RELEASING THE IGNITION KEY AND ALLOWS THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ,BREAKS OFF DUE TO ELECTRICAL WIRES BEING TOO SHORT AND THE BACK AND FORTH MOVEMENT OF THE SHIFTER . CHECKING THE ONLINE BLOGS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON SEVERAL GM VEHICLES FOR SOME TIME WITHOUT ANY RECALLS DESPITE CONSTANT CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS DUE TO THE VERY POOR DESIGN. SOME DEALERS HAVE SUGGESTED LEAVING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS INVITES VEHICLE THEFT AND BY NOT HAVING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN AS THE ACCESSORIES AND IGNITION IS STILL TURNED ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REMAINS LIGHTED. SOME CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD REPEAT REOCCURRENCES AFTER HAVING THE ISSUE REPAIRED AT A COST OF BETWEEN $500 AND $600. AFTER INSPECTING THE OPERATION OF THE SHIFTER AND THE AFFECT IT HAS ON THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE WIRING WILL FAIL AND IN THE BLOGS AS EARLY AS WHILST UNDER WARRANTEE. I AM CONCERNED IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER ISSUES THAT MAY OCCUR ESPECIALLY SAFETY ONES AS THERE IS 5 WIRES I DO NOT KNOW THE FUNCTION OF EACH WIRE . CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

I OWN A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. I HAVE HAD MY HOUSING GEAR REPLACED AND OTHER SUSPENSION ITEMS IN THE LAST YEAR. SINCE MY LAST MAJOR JOB (HOUSING GEAR), THE CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A CLICK WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL AND WHEN GOING UP HILL. WHEN THE CAR IS GOING UPHILL AND SHIFTING GEARS IT MAKE A CLICK/POP SOUND. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY CONSTANTLY ACT AS THOUGH THEY CAN NOT HEAR THE SOUND, WHICH MAKES IT SO EASY FOR THEM TO NOT REPAIR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR THIS OVER 5 TIMES AND LEAVE WITH THE PROBLEM STILL BEING. ON TWO OF THOSE OCCASIONS THEY FOUND OTHER ISSUES WHICH RESULTED IN THE WARRANTY PAYING FOR THE PROBLEMS. MY WARRANTY INCLUDES A $100 DEDUCTIBLE. SO I HAVE PAID A DEDUCTIBLE TO GET ONE PROBLEM FIXED AND IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO DATE. I AM TRULY FRUSTARTAED, AS I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND NEED MY CAR FIXED. I DRIVE A TODDLER AROUND DAILY. I FEEL INSECURE WITH MY CARS DRIVEABILITY. MY CAR NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

TRYING TO PULL INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND HAD TO LET OFF ACCELERATOR TO GET TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT. THIS LEFT ME HALF WAY OUT INTO TRAFFIC FOR JUST A SECOND. *TT

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING TO MERGE, THE CAR FELT AS IF IT DROPPED A GEAR OR TWO AND THE POWER WAS NOTICEABLY REDUCED. THE SERVICE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE ERROR MESSAGE "SERVICE STABILITYTRAC- SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" CAME ACROSS THE DASH. NOW THE CAR WHEN IT ACCELERATES "JERKS" AS IF IT'S HAVING TROUBLE MAKING IT TO THE NEXT GEAR WHEN MOVING BETWEEN 20-30MPH ON THE SPEEDOMETER. THE POWER IN ACCELERATING AFTER 30MPH IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED THE FASTER YOU WISH TO GO. *TR

[XXX] I HAVE ATTACHED THIS LINK AS A REFERENCE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE GOING THROUGH THIS. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS ALOT OF THESE PEOPLE AS FAR AS THE CAR JERKING AND WITH THE CAR REDUCING ITS SPEED (SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING). I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES ALREADY, WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION LINES AND AN ACCELERATOR SENSOR (WHICH THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE ACCELERATOR). PLEASE NOTE MY COMPLAINT IS NO REFLECTION TO THE SERVICE DEPT AT THAT DEALER FOR THEY WERE EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND AS HELPFUL AS THEY COULD POSSIBLY BE. I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEALER, BUT I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH THE WAY GM IS NOT HANDLING THIS. AS YOU READ THROUGH THE COMMENTS ON THAT LINK, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. I TRAVEL ON MAJOR EXPRESSWAYS 4 DAYS A WEEK WITH MY MOM AND DON'T WANT TO END UP IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DASHBOARD MESSAGES IF NEEDED. AS OF TODAY, THEY ARE NOT ON BUT THE CAR IS JERKING AGAIN. PLEASE CONSIDER ACTION ON THIS. -- THANK YOU. *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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

I HAD PURCHASED A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA IN JULY, 2010. THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT REPAIR OF THE FRONT END VIBRATION WAS ON 10/22/2010. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE TIRES WERE ROTATED ON 01/26/11 IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 03/18/11 FOR FRONT END NOISE (THUMP) WHILE TURNING THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 07/07/11 FOR THE THUMPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHILE TURNING THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 07/28/11 FOR A FRONT END THUMPING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 08/16/11 FOR A FRONT END THUMPING NOISE AND THE DEALERSHIP NOTICES THE TIRES WERE WEARING SLIGHTLY CUPPED ON THE INSIDE EDGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 09/08/11 FOR A WHINING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE BAY AND POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 04/09/12 FOR FRONT END THUMPING NOISE, WHEEL BEARING, TRANSMISSION SURGE, AND WHINE NOISE FROM RADIO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 06/27/12 FOR ROUGH IDLE, TIRE REPLACEMENT, TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 07/27/12 FOR ROUGH IDLE, TRANSMISSION SURGE, THUMP NOISE IN FRONT END AND WHINE NOISE IN RADIO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON 10/05/12 FOR TRANSMISSION SURGE, ROUGH IDLE, THUMP NOISE IN FRONT END, AND WHINE NOISE IN RADIO. THE OUTCOME AT THIS POINT IS THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO REPROGRAM THE VEHICLE, GM APPROVED REPLACEMENT OF ALL FOUR TIRES, A REPLACEMENT OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP, WHEEL BEARING ON DRIVER FRONT SIDE. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE DONE TWO THROTTLE BODY CLEANINGS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THEY WILL REPLACE THE ROTORS BUT GM WOULD NOT APPROVE REPLACEMENT ONLY TURNING ON THE ROTORS. THIS CASE HAS BEEN OPENED WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WHOM ADVISED ME TO CONTACT NHTSA. GM REFUSES TO REPLACE PARTS BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM CANNOT TELL THEM WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. GM HAS RECALLED THE POLICE VEHICLES FOR FRONT END SUSPENSION AND HAS A LAWSUIT PENDING IN MICHIGAN FOR PERSONAL VEHICLE. *TR

MAY 9TH, I PARKED MY CAR IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT . UPON TRYING TO MOVE THE CAR TO GO HOME I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO IN TO GEAR. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK, WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW A FRIEND OF MINE HELPED ME REMOVE THE CENTER CONSOLE TO SEE IF WE COULD LOCATE THE ISSUE. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO MANUALLY DEPRESS A BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIFTING SYSTEM TO GET THE CAR TO GO INTO GEAR. ONCE OUT OF PARK THE SHIFTER MOVED FREELY BETWEEN R/N/D. ON 5-22-2010, WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15-20MPH ON MY HOME STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THE LEFT FRONT (DRIVER) TIE ROD SNAPPED IN HALF SENDING MY CAR UP OVER THE SIDEWALK CURB AND INTO THE GRASS/TREES. THE CAR JERKED HARD LEFT AND WAS SURGING FORWARD AND HARD TO CONTROL AND KEPT JERKING PULLING AND SURGING FOR APPROX 75 FEET UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GAIN SOME CONTROL AND GET MYCAR BACK ONTO MY STREET AND INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS UNDRIVABLE AND AM WAITING ON A TOW TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. *TR
