I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH THE ENTIRE CAR SYSTEM SHUT OFF , NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME, I ROLLED INTO A DIRT PARKING LOT, AND TURNED THE KEY OFF, SAT THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE THEN CONTINUE TO WORK, HAD TO TAKE ALTERNATE ROUTE, DIDN'T KNOW WHEN OR IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IT DID HAPPEN AGAIN LATER THAT AFTERNOON, WHILE AUTOZONE TECH WAS CHECKING MY BATTERY. IT WAS FRIGHTENING, THANK GOD!! TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT.I LIVE WHERE A LOT OF BIG RIGS COME AND GO, I MOSTLY DRIVE FREEWAYS, BUT THAT DAY I HAD TO CHANGE MY ROUTE. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA LTZ. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS NOW WHEN MY CAR HAS STARTED FLASHING "SERVICE STABILITRAK" "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "SERVICE AIRBAGS" AND THEN ALL THE CORRESPONDING LIGHTS COME ON. ONE OF THE TIMES THE VEHICLE FLASHED ALL OF THOSE WARNINGS, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR DIED, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT LOST ALL POWER AND IT TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD TO STEER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I HAD MY [XXX] YEAR OLD WITH ME THAT TIME AND WAS SCARED I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET US TO A SAFE SPOT TO SIT AND WAIT FOR HELP. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST EVENING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 75MPH, THE WARNINGS FLASHED AND THEN MY CAR LOST POWER AND FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS NOT HANDLING THE ROAD AS WELL AS IT SHOULD. I LIVE IN MN AND WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER NOW. I NEED MY CAR TO BE SAFE AND I RELY ON THIS CAR TO GET MY SON AND I TO WHERE WE NEED TO GO SAFELY! THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE AND CANNOT AFFORD FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO IT. I HAVE BEEN READING SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT OTHERS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO AND CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE TO THE SITUATION. I WOULD FEEL HORRIBLE IF SOMETHING EVER HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY OR ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE OF MY FAULTY VEHICLE!! THIS NEEDS TO BE FIGURED OUT AND TAKEN CARE OF. *TR *DL 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).

IN JUNE 2012 I HAD THIS PROBLEM ERROR MESSAGE READ: "ENGINE POWER REDUCED " AS I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY MPH FELL BELOW TO 40 I HAD TO GET OFF HIGHWAY. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED SO I THOUGHT IT COST ME ABOUT 360 DOLLARS. SAME EXACT RECURRING PROBLEM SAME ERROR MESSAGE TODAY 12/09/13. THIS IS RIDICULOUS GM HAS TO KNOW THIS IS NOT SAFE. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR AGAIN AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. TOO MUCH MONEY FOR ME TO CONTINUE PAYING OVER N OVER AGAIN. THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS CAR IT'S OUTRAGEOUS! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US?! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHTS CAME ON. I SLOWED DOWN TO 40 AND WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED REALLY HARD AND DIED. RIGHT AS IT DIED ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON, SOMETHING ABOUT THE THROTTLE. I WAS ON A 4 LANE BRIDGE DURING RUSH HOUR. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. WHEN THEY GOT IT, IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED 5 MORE TIMES. *TR

YESTERDAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK .. I EXIT OFF OF 55 ONTO 1ST AVENUE. GOT TO ODGEN AVENUE AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WENT INTO A SLOW MOTION . MESSAGE APPEARED REDUCE ENGINE AND TRANSACTION CONTROL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO PASS 20 MILES. I PULLED OVER AT A WALGREENS. SHUT OFF THE CAR AND STARTED AGAIN. SAME MESSAGE. I FINALLY MADE IT HOME ( 1-1/2 ), USUALLY 20-25 MINUTES. I LOOKED ON LINE LAST NIGHT AND SAW NUMEROUS CALLS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED GMC THIS MORNING AND OF COURSE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM.. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT .. *TR
