I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE, SERVICE STABILITRAK - REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THIS HAS COME UP A FEW TIMES. THIS TIME THOUGH WHILE STILL DRIVING MY ENGINE POWER WAS GREATLY REDUCED WITH THE ERROR, "STARTER DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE". THIS LED TO A DRASTIC DECREASE IN SPEED WITH ZERO CONTROL OVER THROTTLE AND MOVED TO THE SHOULDER AND THE CAR ROLLED TO A HALT.

ON 1/29/16 MY CAR DIED AND TOWED TO DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEED A TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ONLY HAD 69000 6MONTHS AGO DASH BOARD LIGHTS LIT TRACTION CONTROL, REDUCED ENGINE POWER SERVICE STABILITRACK ABS.WHEN I WOULD STEP ON THE ACCELARETOR PEDAL IT WOULD MAKE A WINDING NOISE GO TO THE FLOOR AND POP BACK UP AGAIN. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO ACCELERATION CAR HAD DIED. L PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD A FEW MINUTES LATER STARTED UP AGAIN THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES I TOLD MY SON HE COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS UNSAFE. I CALLED THE GM THEY GAVE ME A COUPON TO HAVE THE A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON IT. IN SEPT I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HE SCANNED MY CAR FOR CODES I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A RIGHT FRONT HUB PART NUMBER 13582664, A RIGHT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HARNESS, 10340314, ACCELERATOR PEDAL, 84018392, AND A VENT VALVE 2085252. I CAN'T BELIEVE A CAR DEALERS WOULD LET A PERSON LEAVE NOT INFORMING THE CUSTOMER WHAT A SAFETY ISSUE THIS IS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR A DAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT AND WAS TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY AGAIN THE CAR DIED ON ME AS I WENT TO ACCELERATE NOW THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY YARD DEAD AS A DOORNAIL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION TO THE DEALER AT LANNAN CHEVROLET IN WOBURN AND I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND THE ONLY RESPONSE I GOT WAS WHAT DO YOU WANT THERE'S A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES ON THE CAR I HAVE BEEN DOING LOTS OF RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND I'M APPALLED BETWEEN A 2008 AND A 2011 THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES WHERE PEOPLE CAN GET KILLED. OUT OF ALL THESE SAFETY ISSUES THERE'S NOT ONE INVESTIGATION THAT HAS BEEN OPENED IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUES. NHTSA OR GM NEEDS TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION IMMEDIATELY ON THESE CARS. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL IS NECESSARY.VIN NUMBER..(XXXXX) REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TAKATA RECALL I KEEP HAVING THE ABS LIGHT ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURN ON EVERY OTHER DAY AND IN MORNINGS IT DISAPPEARS AS I DRIVE. CAR HAS 60129 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE READ ON IMPALA FORUMS IT IS COMMON BUT NO RECALLS ISSUED YET.

DRIVING AT ABOUT 70MPH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME WITH WITH THE READING SERVICE STABILITY TRACK, ENGINE REDUCED POWER AN DISABLED STARTED, SERVICE THROTTLE INSTANTLY I LOSS ALL RMPS AN MY STEERING WHEEL ALMOST FULLY LOCKED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL ON MOTION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO JUS BARLEY VEER OFF THE ROAD INTO SAFETY. WHY WOULD A CAR COMPANY HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THIER VEHICLES. THAT WOULD LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE GOING AT ACCELERATED SPEEDS

TAKATA THE PROBLEM THAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR IS THE ENGINE POWER REDUCE IS ALWAYS COME ON AND WHEN I'M ON THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY MY SPEED REDUCE AND MY CAR CAN SHUT OFF AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING AND IT CAN CAUSE A BAD WRECK. THE PROBLEM BEEN HAPPEN FOR A MINUTE NOW

LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT STARTUP, BECOMES INTERMITTENT AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN SERVICE STABILITRACK NOTIFICATION COMES ON SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE STABILITRACK NOTIFICATION WILL COME ON WHILE MAKING A TURN, DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN.

Mileage: 115,100

'TAKATA RECALL' WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER, WHICH CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN. ON THE DASHBOARD, SERVICE AIRBAG APPEARS AS WELL AS THE ABS LIGHT AND LOCK MODE COMES ON. THE VEHICLE KEY WILL NOT TURN TO OFF MODE UNTIL A FEW SECONDS. THEN ONCE THE VEHICLE ALLOWS THE KEY TO TURN TO OFF MODE, U HAVE TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN THE CAR WILL START WITH NO PROBLEM AND THE ABS AND LOCK SIGNAL ON DASHBOARD GOES OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO GET STIFF AND THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS? SHOULD I TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP? THE LAST TIME THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME WAS MARCH 14, 2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND REDUCE POWER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE LOCAL DEALER (MALCOLM CUNNINGHAM CHEVROLET, 2031 GORDON HWY, AUGUSTA, GA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED TRACTION CONTROL STABILITY THE ENGINE LIGHT STAY ON AND THE ENGINE REDUCE POWER.*JB

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, GO A SERVICE STABILATRAK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, THEN ENGINE TURNED ITSELF OFF. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. AFTER ROLLING TO A STOP, I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART. NOTHING! NO CLICKING AT ALL. AFTER 5 MINUTES AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, CAR STARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY??? CAR ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 36,000

CAR GETS SERVICE STABITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS WARNING ON DASH. REPLACING WHEEL HUBS WITH SENSORS DOES NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL WANT TO APPLY BRAKES WHILE DRIVING OR REDUCE ENGINE SPEED. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH MANY FORUMS WITH PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME CAR AND THROUGH MULTIPLE YEARS OF MANUFACTURING. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE IN THE LAST FEW DAYS IT LOOKS LIKE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE BUT CHEVROLET IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT. NOT SURE AT THIS POINT IF IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS CAUSING THE PROBLEM OR IF THIS COULD BE SOMETHING WITH THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE STABITRACK, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. IF CARS ARE LOOSING POWER AND OR THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED WITH OUT DRIVER CONTROL THIS CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR THE CAR OWNER PASSENGERS AND EVERYONE ELSE DRIVING ON THE SAME ROAD. WITH HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS I DO NOT SEE WHY THE CAR OWNER SHOULD NEED TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE AND MAYBE FIX THE ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR MULTIPLE SERVICE EVENTS AND THE ISSUE STILL NOT RESOLVED.

ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED FROM A DEALER I STARTED GETTING SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ABS LIGHTS WITH REDUCED POWER. IT HAS ALMOST 87K MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 86,555

WHEN DRIVING THE STABILITRAK LIGHT REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY CAR SLOWS DOWN AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD STALL WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS AND THE GAS PEDAL WOULD SOMETIMES SHAKE. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO THE STABILITRAK LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND AFTER A DAY THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AS WELL. WHENEVER I TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND FIXED THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING OFTEN EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FRIGHTENS ME WITH HOPES THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE MYSELF OR OTHERS, OR CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT I THINK? OK...HERE'S WHAT I THINK. I THINK THAT IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION AND PERSONALLY I THINK IT'S ILLEGAL THAT GM CAN GET AWAY WITH NOT HAVING TO PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THE "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" ISSUE THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY MAKE AND MODEL OF GM VEHICLES HAVE. IT'S NOT ONLY TIME CONSUMING TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FIX WOULD BE BECAUSE IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE SAME THING WRONG ON EACH VEHICLE (AND WHEN YOU DO HAVE IT FIXED IT DOESN'T LAST VERY LONG UNTIL THE "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" WARNING COMES BACK), IT'S ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE POWER IS REDUCED AND ACTUALLY TURNS THE CAR ENGINE OFF NO MATTER IF YOU'RE DRIVING OR NOT. IT SHUT MY 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA ENGINE OFF AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THANK GOD THERE WAS VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BIG OF A PROBLEM THIS WAS UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM. IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL THAT YOU PAY YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND IT NOT ONLY ISN'T WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE PAYING FOR BUT IT CAN ACTUALLY TAKE YOUR LIFE AND RUIN YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE GM'S BOTTOM LINE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES. I'VE FILLED A COMPLAINT ON THIS PROBLEM ALREADY AND IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE AND IT'S THE CAUSE OF GRIEF FOR MY FAMILY I WILL MAKE IT MY MISSION TO MAKE SURE GM NOT ONLY FIXES THEIR CRAPPY WORKMANSHIP BUT THAT THEY ALSO DIG INTO THEIR BOTTOM LINE AND COMPENSATE THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THE HEARTACHE AND GRIEF THEY HAVE CAUSED. IT'S A PRETTY SIMPLE FIX FOR THEM AND THAT WOULD BE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND JUST FIX IT, BUT I JUST DON'T THINK THEY CARE ENOUGH TO DO THAT. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY GUY, BUT AFTER THIS IMPALA I WILL NEVER OWN OR DRIVE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT FOR AS LONG AS I AM AROUND. THAT'S WHAT I THINK. SIGNED, CHEVY GUY FORCED TO NOT BE A CHEVY GUY

I WAS DRIVING ON I-695 (IN BALTIMORE) WITH MY 3 DAUGHTERS I RECEIVED "SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED" MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH. THE ENGINE AND TRACKING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGES WOULD NOT GO AWAY. I WAS FRIGHTEN AND HOPEFUL THAT WE WOULD NOT ONLY MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION BUT THEN BACK HOME AGAIN. FORTUNATELY WE DID BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A ONGOING ISSUES AND MAYBE COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THAT MAKES ME NERVOUS BECAUSE I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH ONLY ONE SOURCE OF INCOME.

Mileage: 135,000

WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. POWER IS LOST. HAVE TO STOP, TURN CAR OFF AND TURN BACK ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT STILL STAYS ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

Mileage: 96,000

CAR THREW MESSAGE SAYING REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK ALL AT ONCE. MY CAR WOULD NOT GO AND WAS LOSING SPEED WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF AT A HEAVILY TRAVELED PART OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AND WORKED ON. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT IS POSSIBLY A BAD THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TWO OTHER TIMES WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR. I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE NOTED THAT THIS TIME IT LEFT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WENT FROM DOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH WAS 70 THEN IT GRADUALLY DECREASED IN SPEED UNTIL IT WOULD NO LONGER RUN AT ALL.

Mileage: 177,000

SUDDEN DISPLAYED MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING: SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL , SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL , REDUCED ENGINE POWER. CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO AFTER STOP. PARKED THE CAR AND RESTARTED WITH JUST AN ENGINE LIGHT, BUT MESSAGES STARTED TO FLASH AGAIN. DID GET ME HOME.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP MY ABS SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL COME ON THEN MY 2011 HESITATION TO STOP WHEN BRAKING. EVEN IF I GO SLOW OR JUST STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. IT PUSHES MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. A CRANKING NOISE SOUND. I HAVE GOTTEN BRAKE, TIRE RODS, ROADERS AND NEW TIRES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THIS HAPPENS SPECIFICALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN HAVING TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. MIND YOU MY CAR ONLY HAS 65000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS JUST TOO SOON.

THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITRAK LIGHT HAS COME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND ALSO CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. I AM NOW AT THE POINT OF DESPERATION AS THIS MORNING, WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME THE CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF BUT PROCEEDED TO ROLL EVEN WITH ME ATTEMPTING TO PUT ON BRAKES. I HAVE READ IN SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS, INCLUDING SOMEONE CRASHING INTO A LIGHT POLE. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT CAN BE DONE, AS I NOW FEAR FOR MY LIFE WITH THIS CAR.

WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL? I SEE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR GM VEHICLES. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT GM JUST DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH AFTER THE SALE. I JUST BOUGHT 2011 IMPALA AND NOW THE STABALITRACK SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL DO THIS FOR NO APPARENT REASON BUT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING. USING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON LEVEL ROAD AND DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THROWS CAR OUT OF CRUISE, DECELERATING WHILE GAGES FLIP AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE. POWER LOSS AND LACK OF ACCELERATION ARE DEFINITELY SAFETY ISSUES. PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO MICHIGAN HIGHWAY AND I GET HALFWAY ACROSS HIGHWAY AND CAR STOPS. THIS HIGHWAY IS 55 MPG AND WHILE I WOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO CROSS THE LANE, CAR LOOSES ALL POWER. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET GIVES NO HELP FOR A FIX. I TURNED THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL OFF, BUT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT GO AWAY. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THERE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER GARAGE ONLY TO GET CHARGED EXORBITANT PRICES FOR "POSSIBLE" THAT DO NOT SEEM TO HELP. GM SHOULD GET THIS FIGURED OUT AND NOT LET EVERY DEALER GARAGE DO THEIR OWN GUESSING ON WHAT WILL FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT IS NOT LIMITED TO SINGLE MODEL OR YEAR BUT SPANS MANY YEARS WITH MANY MODELS. MY FIRST VEHICLE WAS A GM BUT THIS MAY BE MY LAST GM. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A DATE BELOW BUT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND GETTING STEADILY WORSE. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT BUT NOBODY CAN GIVE ME ANY USEFUL ANSWERS

I WILL BE DRIVING, SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME AND SAY "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "SERVICE STABILITRACK". THE ENGINE FASTLY REDUCES SPEED AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, ONCE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND AGAIN TODAY, MY 2011 CHEV IMPALA LTZ DISPLAYED A SERIES OF ROTATING ALERT MESSAGES -- 1. SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL 2. SERVICE STABILITRAK 3. ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR ON AN OPEN ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGHLY AND SLOWED DOWN AND THE ABOVE 3 MESSAGES REPEATEDLY DISPLAYED ONE AFTER THE OTHER. ALSO 2 YELLOW LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND THEN REMAINED ON -- THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT (I THINK). WHEN I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE CHEV DEALERSHIP A YEAR AGO, I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. (AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IF IT ISN'T BROKEN WHEN I TAKE IT IN, THE SERVICE DEPT WOULD MOST CHALLENGED TO FIX IT.) TODAY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE PLACE TO PARK. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, WAITED A MOMENT AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. THE SAME 3 MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED WITH THE TWO YELLOW LIGHTS STAYING ON. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR 3 OR 4 HOURS LATER, ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS DISPLAYED. THE 3 REFERENCED ALERTS WERE NOT DISPLAYED. I AM GETTING READY TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN WITH THIS PROBLEM. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE AS TO HOW TO PROCEED?

WHEN TAKING LEFT TURNS THE CAR MAKES A LOUD GRIND NOISE THEN THE STABILITY CONTROLL WILL TURN ON. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROLL LIGHT POPPED ON WHILE DRIVING WHILE ALSO HAVING ENGINE POWER REDUCED WHICH THEN APPLIED MY BRAKES CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GO OFF THE ROAD.

Mileage: 63,000

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A REDUCED POWER READING IN MY CAR. IT COMES AND GOES AT WILL ALONG WITH A STABLITRACK WARNING. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUBS AND THE POSITION SENSOR TO NO AVAIL. THIS CAN HAPPEN DRIVING OR JUST GOING FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS.

IT WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY BACK HOME. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH SAID REDUCING ENGINE POWER BUT THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON SO WHEN I GOT HOME I PARK THE CAR AND LEFT IT ALONE THAT DAY..THE NEXT DAY I TURN THE CAR ON AND THE ABS LIGHT IS ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROLL LIGHT IS ON I DRIVE THE CAR IT FEELS LIKE IF THE BRAKES ARE ON I HEAR A NOISE OUTSIDE THE CAR SO I TAKE IT TO A NEAR SHOP AND THEY TELL ME ITS A BAD WHEEL ROUTER SO I CHAGE IT FOR 180 AND IT WASNT THAT SO I SEE ALOT OF IMPALAS DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, STABILITRAC LIGHT, AND ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO START JERKING AND SHIFTING HARD, ALSO ENGINE RUNNING LIKE IT HAS A MISFIRE NOW. BEFORE THIS BEGAN THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND SHIFTING PERFECT.

JUNE 8 2013: WHEN DRIVING, NOTICED ON THE FREEWAY, IT WASN'T SMOOTH AT TIMES. THE TRANSMISSION'S SHIFTING WAS PRETTY ROUGH. NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES POPPED UP ON DASHBOARD. WHEN ARRIVING AT FREEWAY RAMP, IT FELT LIKE I WAS HYDROPLANING, BUT ON GRAVEL. THEN, NOTICED WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, WAS NOT GOING ANYWHERE, BUT FELT LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL. WAS ABLE TO PULL IN AND TAKE A LOOK... TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS FINE... NOTHING POPPED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. NOTHING! THE INDICATORS FOR TIRES, OIL, ETC WERE SHOWING INFO, BUT NOTHING TO INDICATE IT HAD DIED!! DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP - HAD JUST BOUGHT IT IN JULY 2012. 11 MONTHS LATER, THIS?!?!? THEY ARE SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN IT THIS BAD, EVEN WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER OLLLLLLDER CARS, THIS WAS THE WORST. THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION.

IT TELLS ME IF FLAT TIRE, BLINKER IS ON, THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE, ETC ETC, BUT NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S RELATED, BUT WE SMELLED VINEGAR EVERY TIME WE STARTED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS STRAIGHT. WE NOTICED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING, IT'S OKAY, BUT WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS ON THE FREEWAY, IT "SHUDDERS."

THEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO JERKILY MOVE & THEN IT ALERTED "STARTER DISABLED SERVICE THROTTLE" AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN (STEERING ALTERED & CAR SHUT OFF). I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD & TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR (UNSUCCESSFULLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES). DID I MENTION I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED? THIS WAS TERRIFYING AS MY CAR JUST STOPPED-I HAD MINIMAL WARNING & WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE IT COULD'VE BEEN A LOT WORSE.

I HEAR A HORRIBLE GRIND WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AFTER A STOP, CAR ALSO FELT LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD CAUSING HESITATION IN LEFT HAND TURN - VERY DANGEROUS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAVE HAD IT TO MECHANIC MANY TIMES, EITHER THEY COULDNT FIND THE PROBLEM OR WOULD FIX THIS OR THAT AND THEN PROBLEMS RIGHT BACK WITHIN DAYS IF NOT HOURS. OCCASIONALLY GET SERVICE STABILITRAC AND/OR ABS LIGHTS, USUALLY LIGHTS WOULD CLEAR BY NEXT DAY WHEN I TOOK TO MECHANIC AND AGAIN THEY'D EITHER FIND NO PROBLEM OR TRY A FIX -STILL A PROBLEM.

I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THE SOUND AND GRIND ISN'T WHAT'S CAUSING MY RACK AND PINION ISSUES AS WELL? HAVE OWNED 2 YEARS NOW WITH THIS PROBLEM CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. APPROX. 68K MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED NOW ALMOST 90K HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS THAT THERE IS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS HESITATION MAY CAUSE YOU TO GET HIT IF VEHICLE CAN'T TURN IN TIME. HAVE TO COMPLETELY LET OFF GAS AND TRY AGAIN SOMETIMES STILL GRINDS IF SO REPEAT IS ALL YOU CAN DO. BECOMING VERY SCARY AND COSTLY WITH NO FIX FOUND SO FAR!!! PLEASE INVESTIGATE! MULTIPLE POSTS REGARDING SAME ISSUE SOME ON NEWER MODELS, VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE I CAN'T EVEN TEACH MY CHILD TO DRIVE IN THE CAR AS I AM AFRAID FOR THEIR SAFETY IN IT, AS WELL AS MY OWN SAFETY EVER TIME I TRY TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN.

I COULDN'T STOP AT THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE EXIT, LUCKILY NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND. IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAIN STREET AT 45MPR AND HAD TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT I WOULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED ON TIME. I'M VERY LUCKY NO CARS WERE AT THE LIGHT WAITING OR COMING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH THE GREEN LIGHT. I SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER EDMUNDS AND ON YOU TUBE AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT'S 100% CHEVROLET. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A RECALL. THERE ARE DOZENS AND DOZENS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON EDMUNDS AND YOU TUBE. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY YOU TUBE VIDEO HAS A DIFFERENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM....FROM PULLING OUT THE FUSE TO THE STABILITRACK TO OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN REPAIRS. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A DEATH TO GET THE ATTENTION OF CHEVROLET. THE LIGHT HAD COME ON A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. USUALLY IT CAME ON AND I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT WOULD BE FINE......SO HOW COULD THIS BE ANYTHING BUT A MALFUNCTION IF IT GOES OFF AND ON AT ANY WHIM. THEY MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO BE VERY PREVALENT AND AGAIN FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT'S ALWAYS A CHEVROLET.

SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP THE CAR JERKS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS TRYING TO CATCH UP AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. IT'S AN ON AND OFF PROBLEM BUT IT HAPPENS IN THE RAIN AND IS DANGEROUS THE DEALER CHANGED THE TRANS OIL AND IT STILL DOES IT. NEXT THE CAR GOES INTO "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT LET ME FINISH MY HIGHWAY DRIVE SAFELY, NO ONE AT THE DEALER CAN HELP WITH THIS EXCEPT TO SAY IT WILL CAST A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX. HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT AND I BOUGHT EXPENSIVE LIGHTS LAST TIME AND ONE IS ALREADY BURNT OUT. I HAVE ONLY 1 PAYMENT LEFT AND THE CAR IS READY FOR THE JUNKYARD, YOU WOULD THINK AFTER $28000.00 IT WOULD LAST A LITTLE LONGER. WHAT HAPPENED TO GM??

DRIVING MY CAR THE STABIL TRACK NEEDS REPAIRED THEN TRACTION CENTER THEN REDUCING ENGINE POWER.I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE NOTICE STARTED.

Mileage: 80,582

MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN BEEPED AND 3 WARNINGS CAME UP SAYING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" ,"SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" 2 IMAGES CAME ON AS WELL THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION ONE. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE I WAS ALMOST HOME. BUT IT SCARED ME SINCE ALL THOSE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. ESPECIALLY THE ENGINE POWER REDUCING. READING ALL THESE STORIES I FEEL LUCKY THAT MY CAR DID NOT STOP ON ME. I REMEMBERED ID RECEIVED A LETTER THAT WAS NOT A RECALL BUT MENTIONED TO TAKE IN IF YOU HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THIS AND SHOULD BE COVERED OR REFUNDED IF FIXED IN THE PAST. I FOUND IT CALLED GM AND HAVE AN APPT IN 2 WEEKS WHICH WORRIES ME HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS BETWEEN THEN. THE BAD AND GOOD THING IS THAT NOW ALL THE LIGHTS HAVE COME OFF. HOPING THEY ARE STILL ABLE TO FIX IT AND I AM NOT HAVING TO PAY ANYTHING FOR IT. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

Mileage: 102,355

TAKATA RECALL THIS ISSUE IS THIS: I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2015 FIRST MY ENGEN LIGHT COMES ON, THAN MY TRACTION CONTROLE LIGHT, THAN MY CAR TELLS ME TO SERVICE TRACTION CONTROLE, ENGEN POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE STABIL TRACK, THE ENGEN CUTS I LOOSE POWER STEERING, AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR 15 MIN WAITING FOR THE CAR TO REBOOT. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE GM SHOP EVERY 2500-3000 MILES. THE SHOP REPLACED ALL THE FACTORY COVERED PARTS AND NOW WILL START GUESSING. THE FIRST FIX IS REPLACING SOME WIRES THAT ANOTHER SHOP REPLACED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS SAME PROBLEM. NO ONE WILL FIX THIS DEATH TRAP. I WILL NOT DRIVE IT.

MY CAR JUST REACHED 79,000 MILES AND I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC! THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DRIVE. IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED BACK UP BUT THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A STABILITRAK ERROR MESSAGE. THEN A MESSAGE SAYING ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. NOW THE CAR'S ENGINE IS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AND IS HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING WITHOUT MAKING A LOUD SOUND LIKE AIR TRYING TO BLOW THROUGH A PINHOLE. THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT I TOOK IT TO WANTS ALMOST $700 JUST TO TAKE IT APART TO SEE WHAT IT WRONG WITH IT, WHICH DOESN'T INCLUDE THE POSSIBLE AMOUNT FOR REPAIR. AND THEY DID NOT LOOK AT ANY OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS LIKE REQUESTED! NOW THEY ARE SAYING MY CAR IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AT ALL. I WENT ONLINE AND STARTED TO RESEARCH THESE ISSUES AND FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE EXACT ISSUES MOST EVEN THE SAME YEAR. THERE IS NO REASON THAT A CAR WITH 79000 MILES SHOULD HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS. I OWNED A 2003 IMPALA PRIOR TO THIS ONE AND HAD ALMOST 125000 MILES BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS 2011. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS GOING ON WITH THIS CAR FOR IT NOT TO BE RECALLED.

Mileage: 79,500

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SHOOK AND JERKED THEN THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRACK, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SHOWED UP ON MY DASHBOARD.

ALSO, THE SPEED HAS BEEN REDUCED.

Mileage: 68,800

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR SHUT DOWN. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND EVERY LIGHT WAS ON STATING ENGINE POWER REDUCING. I HAVE HAD THIS SAME PART REPLACED TWICE IN 1.5 YEARS AND THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUS WRONG WITH THE IMPALA.

ON MY WAY TO WORK, I WAS MAKING A NEXT TURN AT A LIGHT WHEN MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUT OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON TWICE IN A MATTER OF 15 SECONDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE VERY ATTENTIVE DRIVERS, I COULD'VE BEEN RAMMED!!! THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS AFTER I GOT OFF OF WORK. MY CAR WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. I TRIED A SECOND TIME AND IT STARTED BUT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING REALLY HARD, LIKE I WAS ABOUT TO SPEED OFF OR SOMETHING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND STARTED IT AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER" ALL COME UP ON THE SERVICE SCREEN. AFTER READING MULTIPLE FORUMS ONLINE WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE HOME. I DROVE AT ABOUT 40 MPH ALL THE WAY HOME (MY JOB IS A 25-30 MIN COMMUTE) AND FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T GET STRANDED AND MY CAR DIDN'T TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING LIKE SOME FOLK HAVE EXPERIENCED. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. WHY ISNT THERE A RECALL YET?!

GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASH A FEW MONTHS AGO ABOUT "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WHILE DRIVING. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT LIT UP ALSO. PARKED CAR AND TURNED CAR OFF THEN ON...MESSAGE GONE. TOOK IT INTO SERVICE...SHOWED NO ERROR CODES. TODAY (5/2/16), IT DID IT AGAIN WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SIMULTANEOUSLY LIGHTING UP. "SERVICE STABILITRAK", SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", AND "ENGINE POWER IS RECUDED" ARE THE MESSAGES I GOT TODAY ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BEING ON. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY SO I WASN'T GOING FAST WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS CLOSE TO WORK SO I PARKED IT AT WORK. TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN ON AGAIN AND THE MESSAGES WERE GONE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS OFF BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. TURNED CAR ON AGAIN AT LUNCH 1.5 HOURS LATER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF NOW SO I DOUBT ANYONE WILL BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX ANYTHING TODAY. TAKING IT TO SERVICE TO SEE IF IT THREW ANY ERROR CODES A LITTLE LATER TODAY. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. IF IT HAPPENS TO ME AND I'M IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS, I WILL SUE THE S**T OUT OF GM. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND IF ANY OF US GETS HURT OR KILLED, THERE WILL BE H**L TO PAY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RECALLED. IT IS NOT DUE TO MY KEY/IGNITION ISSUE. ALREADY HANDLED THAT RECALL. LOSING POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY RANDOMLY IS ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS AND I'M NOW VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER IMPALA AGAIN.

I BEGIN NOTICING ISSUES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD LIKE IT COULDN'T SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. I HAD THAT CHECKED AND NOTHING SHOWED AS AN ISSUE, SO THE MECHANIC SAID IT HAD TO BE ELECTRICAL. THIS WEEKEND I AM DRIVING IT AND AFTER 25 MINUTES IN THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AS DOES THE NOTICE THAT MY ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED, AND TO SERVICE THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT WHEN IT CAME ON AND I PULLED OFF TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT AS THAT WOULD WORK WHEN IT FAILED BEFORE TO RESET THE SYSTEM. IT DIDN'T RESET AND I HAD TO DRIVE IT WITH REDUCED POWER THE REST OF THE WAY TO MY DESTINATION. I HAD THIS FIXED A COUPLE YEARS AGO. I DID GET A NOTICE FROM GM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE ABILITY TO BE REIMBURSED OR GETTING IT FIXED IF THERE WAS A CURRENT ISSUE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR IT. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN, BUT MY MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH TO GET IT FIXED UNDER THIS REPAIR NOTICE BECAUSE THE LETTER SAYS THAT THE MILEAGE COVERAGE IS ONLY UP TO 120,000. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE ALREADY DEALT WITH IT BEFORE, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO CONTINUALLY FAIL WHEN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH I WOULD HAVE NO ISSUE FIXING AS A PART OF MAINTAINING THE VEHICLE?! THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT GM WOULD FIX EVERY TIME IT GOES OUT BECAUSE IT IS CLEAR THE ISSUE IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE OVERALL SYSTEM AND NOT LINKED TO ANYTHING THAT THE DRIVER DOES OR DOESN'T DO TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. IN ADDITION WHAT IF IT HAS TO BE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AS IS THE CASE WITH MINE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DEVOTED GM CUSTOMER, BUT HONESTLY I AM NOT SURE I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER GM AFTER THIS ISSUE. IT IS UNSAFE AND PROVIDES ANXIETY WHEN DRIVING, BECAUSE IT MIGHT FAIL AT THE WORST TIME AND COULD NEED FIXED AGAIN EVEN IF I FIX IT THIS TIME.

WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, AS I ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO DRIVE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND, MAKE NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WHINE, AND THEN JUMP FORWARD LIKE IT'S HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY SO OFTEN, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO CAR X, MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, AND ANOTHER LOCAL GOODYEAR TIRES DEALER, BUT NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER AND TECHNICIANS HAVE LOOKED AT IT, BUT JUST SCRATCH THEIR HEADS. THERE IS EVEN A FORUM ONLINE REGARDING THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER CHEVY IMPALA OWNERS [XXX] AND OWNERS SEEM TO PUT LOTS OF MONEY INTO THE ISSUE BUT WITH NO RESOLVE. ** THE ISSUE SEEMS TO REMEDY ITSELF WHEN I TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL. ** THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS WHERE I'LL BE PULLING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE CAR WILL STALL AND I'LL FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO BE HIT BECAUSE THE CAR "DIES" FOR A SECOND.

WE OWN BOTH A 2011 AND A 2013 CHEVY IMPALA. BOTH VEHICLES GRIND AND HESITATE. THEY BOTH ACT THIS WAY WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT, BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN PUTTING IT IN DRIVE AND ANY OTHER TIME IT FEELS NECESSARY TO DO SO. EXCEPT WHILE BEING CHECKED BY THE MECHANIC. WE OWNED A 2007 IMPALA THAT DID THE SAME THING. OUR REMEDY, PUSH THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON TO THE "OFF" POSITION. STOPPED MAKING THE NOISE AND NO LONGER HESITATES AFTER PUTTING IT IN DRIVE. OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO DO THIS EACH AND EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE CAR. NO MORE BUYING CHEVY'S FOR US.

MY MOM GOT HURT ALSO AND BEING JERKED BACK AND FORTH.

I PURCHASED THE IMPALA ON JUNE 16, 2014, THERE WAS SOME POPPING NOISE FROM THE DASH BOARD ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE SALE'S MANAGER HAD ME BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED WITHIN 2-3 DAYS. I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR SENSOR. IN JANUARY 2015 THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. NOW 8 MONTHS LATER TO THE DATE (MARCH 12, 2015), THE STABILIZER TRACK-ENGINE REDUCE POWER LIGHT AND MESSAGE CAME. I CAME TO A STOP. CUT THE CAR OFF FOR 15-20 MINUTES ONLY FOR THE LIGHT TO REAPPEAR AFTER MOMENTS OF DRIVING. I GOT TO WORK. THE CAR SAT FOR 9 HOURS AND STILL THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING THE CAR. I FOUND OUT IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT. I AM AT MY WITS END AND NOW THE FINANCE COMPANY WANTS ME TO CONTINUE TO PAY MY MONTHLY CAR NOTE FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT TOTALLY DRIVABLE...WHY??? GM SHOULD PAY!!! *TR

BY THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE VEHICLE SHOULD NEVER SHUT DOWN MAKING STEERING AND BRAKING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, IF IT FINDS AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE, IT SHOULD JUST DISABLE THE THROTTLE SO I CAN STEER AND BRAKE WITHOUT PROBLEM. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE A FEW TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS, THE 4TH TIME I TRIED THE VEHICLE DID START BACK UP AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO WORK, BUT WAS DID NOT SEEM TO BE RUNNING RIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. *TR

I AM PLANNING TO GET THIS SERVICED ASAP. AFTER READING MANY FORUM POSTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE, I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW RAMPANT OF A PROBLEM THIS AND THAT IT IS USUALLY CAUSED BY A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THAT ISN'T COVERED IN THE 100K MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

I ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT A CAR HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE CONSTRUCTION AREA. THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND I SEE A LOT OF IMPALAS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. *TR

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT AND I MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE, I HAD BEEN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I DROVE THE CAR AT THE SPEED WHICH IT PERMITTED WITH MY FOUR-WAY BLINKERS ON UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. IT WAS AT NIGHT AND THERE WAS NO WHERE ELSE TO GO. THE NEXT DAY, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT EVIDENT, BUT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FROM WHOM I HAD PURCHASED IT, USED. THAT DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ASCERTAIN THE PROBLEM, AND TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET FRANCHISE WHERE IT WAS "REPAIRED" AND RETURNED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN I WAS ENTERING A HIGHWAY I COULD NOT ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS TIME, AS IT HAPPENED DURING THE DAY, I AGAIN TOOK IT TO MY DEALER. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TO WHOM HE HAD TAKEN THE CAR THE FIRST TIME. THAT DEALER HAD IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED THE FACTORY DIRECTLY FOR INSTRUCTIONS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, . TO DATE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RE-OCCURRENCE OF THIS, NOR ANY OTHER PROBLEM. THE FIRST VISIT FOR REPAIR COST ABOUT $200 AND THE SECOND $500. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS DIRECTLY AND THEY AGREED TO REFUND $250 EARLIER THIS YEAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN "REDUCED ENGINE POWER, ENGINE LIGHT,ELECTRONIC STABILI TREK" WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. MY RPM WAS RACING UPWARDS BUT MY ENGINE NEVER RAN HOT. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE WARNINGS AND LOST OF ACCELERATION. I GOT HOME AND CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO ADVISED ME OF NO RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM AND CONNECTED ME TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP AND I MADE AN APPOINTMENT. RESEARCHING THE CAR MALFUNCTION, I FOUND NUMEROUS POSTINGS ABOUT THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND MECHANIC CALLED AND SAID I NEEDED A APP SENSOR / PEDAL WHICH IS A FACTORY ONLY PART. I OK'D THE SERVICE WORK. THE NEXT DAY (APRIL 18TH,2014) THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BRIEFLY AND THE CAR WAS HESITATING AGAIN, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP AT 2:35 AND SPOKE WITH MECHANIC THAT REPAIRED MY CAR AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. MECHANIC ASKED ME IF THE LIGHT WAS STAYING ON I REPLIED NO AND HE STATED THE MECHANICS ARE LEAVING IN HOUR. I ASKED THE MECHANIC IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE CAR UNTIL MONDAY, HE REPLIED YES. *TR

IN MAY OF 2013 I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON MY DASH BOARD ABOUT STABILI TRACK, TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE SPEED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALER SO I COULD GET A DIAGNOSTIC, AND THEY REPLACED A SENSOR BEHIND MY PEDAL. JUST THIS WEEKEND, SUNDAY APRIL 13, 2014. THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AGAIN. I'M GOING TO CALL THE CHEVY DEALER THAT FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME. THEN I'M GOING TO CALL GM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION IN THESE CARS. FROM VIEWING AND READING OTHER STORIES, THIS IS SOMETHING GM SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT AND ADDRESSED. *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON THE HOMESTRETCH OF A ROADTRIP FROM PA TO FL WHEN THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" , FOLLOWED BY "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" MESSAGE STARTED FLASHING. THE TWO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ALSO WENT OFF. SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO FIND A GOOD PLACE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE, AND I FIGURED LIKE MOST TIMES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT GOES ON, THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I COULD WAIT TO DEAL WITH WHEN I GOT HOME. I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THEN THE MESSAGE CHANGED AND SAID "DISABLING THROTTLE" OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT, AND I FELT THE ENGINE LOSING POWER. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, DOING AROUND 55 MILES PER HOUR WITH CARS ALL AROUND ME. I IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY FOUR-WAY FLASHERS AND FORTUNATELY PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT LANE SLOWED DOWN AND LET ME COAST TO THE SHOULDER BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. I SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. FINALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES I DECIDED TO TRY STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTED, WITH JUST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON MY WAY. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE GAS PEDAL BUT THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR LOST SPEED DROP FROM 35 MPH TO 20 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRIANGLE WITH THE CAR AND SKID MARKS THEN IT KEPT FLASHING THE SERVICE STABILITRAK CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND IT STARTED TO JERK AND JUMP. I HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES OUT OF THIS CAR FIRST IT WAS THE RIGHT HUB (EATING TIRES), THEN THE LEFT HUB (EATING MORE TIRES), THEN THE TRANSMISSION AND GEAR SHIFT COMPLETELY GONE (REPLACED EVERYTHING) NOW THIS PLUS THE FRONT TIRES ARE STILL GETTING ATE UP. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS CHEVY IMPALA. I AM SO READY TO GET A HONDA. AS I SEE THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WHY ISN'T IT A RECALL ON THESE PROBLEMS? NOBODY LIKES TOO LOOSE THEIR MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY GM IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHAT WILL GM DO IF ALL CUSTOMERS PROTEST ABOUT THESE ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON WHETHER ITS FOR THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE, OR GOVERNMENT SECTOR? *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 45 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE CAR LIGHTED UP AND READ THE STABILITRAK WAS HAVING A PROBLEM AND REDUCED POWER...CAR SLOWED SUDDENLY. SHE WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. SHE PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE CAR, RESTARTED IT. THIS LAST WEEK, THIS IS NOW A MULTIPLE TIME PER DAY OCCURRENCE. LAST SUMMER AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, SHE TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALER IN WATERVILLE, WHO HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER WHICH DID NOT SHOW ANY CODE. HE TOLD HER TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT AND IT PROBABLY GOT WET. SHE TOOK IT AGAIN TODAY TO ANOTHER GARAGE IN WATERVILLE, WHO HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER, AND IT DID NOT SAY ANYTHING WAS WRONG. SHE IS EXPERIENCING LOSS OF POWER TO THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY WITH MULTIPLE WARNINGS ABOUT THE STABILITRAK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

MY CAR A 2011 CHEVY IMPALA SLOWS DOWN TO ABOUT 50. I GET IT GOING BACK TO 60 BUT NOT VERY EASILY. I KEEP GOING AND MERGE ONTO 465 (INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA AREA). I COME INTO SLOWER TRAFFIC WHERE I NEED TO STOP. I APPLY MY BREAKS AND THE PEDAL WILL NOT ENGAGE. ALMOST HIT A CAR. ALSO WHEN I SLOWED DOWN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING BAD. I CONTINUE A LITTLE FARTHER IN SLOW TRAFFIC AND HAD TO STOP AGAIN, SAME THING WITH THE BREAKS. SO I PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF I465. MY DAUGHTER HAD LOOKED UP THE ERROR MESSAGES ON THE INTERNET AND THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT ON THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL SAID THE SAME THING, AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT IT WAS FINE. I MADE IT HOME AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES SO FAR. ONCE AT A STOP SIGN AND THE SAME DAY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AT WORK. ONCE AGAIN THAT SAME WEEK I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND TOOK OFF FROM A RED LIGHT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE ERROR MESSAGES AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT NOTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT TO GET IT FIXED, BUT AFTER READING SO MUCH ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM THERE HAS TO BE AN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (AND HAD GONE OUT) PREVIOUSLY. DASH SAID "SERVICE STABILITRAC, ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND A MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A "SENSOR IN THE GAS PEDAL" AND THAT IF IT KEPT HAPPENING WE SHOULD REPLACE IT. I DIDN'T FULLY REALIZE THAT THIS MEANT THAT THE THROTTLE WOULD DISABLE ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE LEFT HAND LANE GOING UP A HILL DOING 60 MPH. THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND IN OTHER LANE SO I HAD TO PULL INTO THE CENTER SHOULDER OVERTOP OF 5 INCHES OF SNOW AND ICE. IT WAS A STRUGGLE NOT TO HIT THE GUARDRAIL. THERE WAS BARELY ENOUGH ROOM. I JUST MADE IT OVER THE YELLOW LINE. IT WAS 20 DEGREES AND THEN HAD TO WAIT AN HOUR FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR DID START AND DRIVE AT THE GARAGE. THIS MECHANIC REPLACED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE ERROR WAS CODE P2122. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE COULD SMELL BURNING WIRES. I HAD SMELLED IT BUT DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT WAS. *TR

I STARTED MY CAR AFTER A COLD NIGHT AND IMMEDIATELY GOT A "SERVICE STABILITRAK", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", AND "SERVICE TRANCE ION CONTROL" MESSAGES. THE CAR HAD AN EXTREMELY ROUGH IDLE AND THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MORE THAN 25 MPH. I RETURNED HOME AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. LATER, I WAS READY TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND IT STARTED FINE WITH NO ERROR MESSAGES OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN A COMPUTER ERROR THAT FIXED ITSELF. WELL, IT'S A WEEK LATER NOW AND I AM HAVING THE ISSUES AGAIN EXCEPT RESTARTING THE ENGINE DOES NOT FIX IT ANYMORE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY GM AND NOT COST THE MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX! *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL REDUCE ENGINE POWER AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. CAR ENGINE LOST POWER AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP IT MADE THE WHOLE CAR SHAKE. YOU SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW AND RESTART IT AND ITS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. NOT TO HAPPY ABOUT THIS I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR A YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, MESSAGES WERE FLASHING: SERVICE STABILITRAC SOON, REDUCED POWER TO ENGINE, CHECK TRACTION CONTROL. CAR DECELERATED TO 30 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, HARD TO STEER. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER IT RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STILL COME ON.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, WE RECEIVED A SERVICE STABILITRAC/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/ENGINE AT REDUCED POWER MESSAGE AND SPEED DROPPED FROM 40 MPH TO 5 MPH. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND A TRACTION POSITION CONTROL SENSOR WAS REPLACED. TODAY, ON 11/24/13, WE WERE DRIVING 15 MPH IN A PARKING LOT AND RECEIVED THE SAME MESSAGE RESULTING IN THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY STALLS OUT WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER AND NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION AT AN INTERSECTION. WHEN WILL NHTSA FORCE GM TO RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE? THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA A YEAR AND HALF AGO FROM VICTORY CHEVROLET IN MOUNT HOLLY< N.C. AFTER THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE CAR WHICH HAD ONLY 27000 MILES ON IT THE STABILTRAK LIGHT CAME ON, SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES INCLUDING TODAY, TWO OF THESE TIMES I CAME CLOSE TO HAVING A WRECK. I FOUND ON THE WEB THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO THE IMPALAS. I WROTE GM TO ASK IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO BE KILLED TO RECALL THESE AND BE FIXED. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS YOU WILL SEE THEY DID RECALL THE POLICE CARS BUT NOT THE PERSONAL VEHICLES. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP BUT I WILL CONTACT ALL THE NEWS MEDIA TILL SOMEONE WILL LISTEN. AGAIN I HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SAME REASON. THANK YOU! IF CANADA IS SUING GM FOR THIS REASON THEN WHY IS SOMETHING DON'T DONE HERE? *TR

WE DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AT A REDUCED SPEED AND PARKED IT. MY WIFE WENT OUT TODAY AND STARTED THE CAR AND THE ONLY INDICATION WE HAD WAS THE TCS LIGHT WAS ON. NO OTHER WARNINGS APPEARED.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, THE INDICATOR ON MY VEHICLE WILL ALERT ME "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL; REDUCING ENGINE POWER". AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST A GLITCH, UNTIL IT KEPT HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THERE ARE DAYS WHEN THE INDICATOR WILL GO OFF AND REMAIN OFF FOR A WEEK OR TWO, BUT THEN IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN COME BACK ON AND REMAIN ON FOR A WEEK OR SO. I GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED REGULARLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM DEALERSHIP AFTER DEALERSHIP, AND THEY HAVE ALL TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. FINALLY, I ASKED FOR THE CORPORATE OFFICE NUMBER [XXX]. I CALLED GM'S CORPORATE OFFICE (REFERENCE#: [XXX]) AND WAS TOLD THAT MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY IS STILL GOOD BUT MY BUMPERTOBUMPER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED DUE TO THE MILEAGE. I ADVISED THE REPRESENTATIVE ([XXX]) THAT I HAD GOOGLED THIS INFORMATION TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVY IMPLALA'S, AND I ASKED WHY HASN'T GM PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. SHE THEN TELLS ME THAT I NEED TO PAY AND GET A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL ISSUE. MY QUESTION TO HER IS "WHY SHOULD I OR ANY CUSTOMER HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A REPORTED KNOWN ISSUE?" THERE REPRESENTATIVE CONTINUED TO APOLOGIZE AND TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING THAT GM COULD DO BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE. I REFERENCED THERE REPRESENTATIVE TO RESEARCH FOR HERSELF [XXX] AND SHE CONTINUED TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

USUALLY I CAN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAIT 5 MINUTES, AND THE MESSAGES WILL CLEAR, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ILLUMINATED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, EVENTUALLY CLEARING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR WHATEVER IS CAUSING THIS, BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS WITH IMPALAS HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

THE NEXT INCIDENT HAPPEN OFF AND ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE LAST KNOWN WAS 1/3/2013 630AM AND 115PM I WOULD HAVE TO SSHUT DOWN AND RESTART UNTIL THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARS. THE THING THAT REALLY SHOOK ME UP WAS WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY IN THE MORNING AROUND 6:45AM THERE WAS A SEMI AND OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME SO I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE AT ABOUT 30-50 WHEN THE MESSAGES APPEARED AND THE SEMI WAS PRACTICALLY ON MY TAIL. MY HEART JUMPED OUT MY CHEST BUT I REMAINED CALMED AND LUCKILY THERE WAS A MEDIAN STRIP AHEAD. I ASK MYSELF SITUATION COULD HAVE GONE WRONG AND CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR GOTTEN KILLED FROM BEING RAMMED FROM BEHIND ALL BECAUSE I COULD'NT ACCELERATE.I HAVE A SMALL VIDEO TO BACK THIS UP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL NOTICE AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO GET THE CODE AND CHARGE ME 129.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC.

I ASKED IF IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME AND HE SAID NO. I WAS DRIVING ON 5/12 AND WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WAITING TO TURN LEFT. I WENT TO TURN LEFT AND EXPERIENCED A GREATLY REDUCED RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING. THE DEALER JUST CALLED ME ON 5/14 AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND HE IS REPLACING IT. I FOUND A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS SAME ISSUE GOING BACK TO THE 2007 MODEL.
