I WAS APPROACHING A INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING,I STOPPED THE CAR,PUT THE CAR IN PARK,THEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING,TRIED TO TAKE IT OUT OF PARK AND IT WOULDN'T COME OUT PARK NOR WOULD IT START AND THE KEY WOULDN'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. *TR

I OWN A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON. A FEW MINUTES LATER, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT SAID ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN AND THERE WAS A SHORT COUNTDOWN DISPLAYED BEFORE THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT. *TR

I WOKE UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A BRAIN INJURY, TONGUE NEARLY CUT IN HALF, THORATIC SPRAIN, NECK SPRAIN, ETC. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD, I WAS GOING AT LEAST 60-65 MPH WHEN I HAD MY FRONT END CRASH AND MY HEAD WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES ALREADY SUBMITTED TO CHEVY, SUCH AS THE STEERING ISSUES I HAD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I LATER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN I WAS TURNING MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COME INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. I HAVE HAD A TECHNICIAN LOOK AT THIS FOR ME AND ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR (ACCELERATOR PEDAL) IS GOING IN AND OUT. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS CONNECTED TO A SENSOR THAT DRIVES THE THROTTLE ON THE ENGINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE LOOSES ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SERVICE TRACTION AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 10 MPH. THE CONTACT COASTED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME: WHILE DRIVING, SPEED REDUCES DRAMATICALLY, SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR COMES ON FOLLOWED BY WARNINGS: "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL". MY RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE TO FIND OUT HOW TO FIX, SHOWS MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT ISN'T GETTING RESOLVED BY GM. ENGINE POWER REDUCTION TO SUCH A DRAMATIC SPEED CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR NOT ONLY THE OPERATOR OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLE, BUT ALSO ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD NEAR THE DRIVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
