2010 Chevrolet Impala

GOOD MORNING I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS IS MY SECOND VEHICLE FROM CHEVY BUT THIS VEHICLE HAS REALLY PLACED ME IN A BAD BIND. FIRST THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF FOR THE PASSED MONTH, NEXT THE KEY BECOMES STUCK IN THE IGNITION THEN IT WENT OUT HAD TO REPLACE THAT. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON COMES OVER BOARD WITH MESSAGE SAYING," ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED THEN MESSAGE STATES CAR SHUTTING DOWN " IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING . THIS LAST TIME I HAD MY NEW BORN GRANDBABY IN THE CAR DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY GOING 60SPEED LIMIT CAR JUST SHUT OFFCARS FLYING PASS ME I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY GRAND CHILD. THIS HAS OCCURRED OFF AND ON SINCE LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR I HAD TAKEN IT BACK TO ALL STAR CHEVY IN MISS.THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING COST ME A GOOD PENNY WHEN THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS OUT. NOW THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE BEEN REPLACING ALOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FOR THE LAST YEAR BUT THIS TIME IS THE LAST TIME MY GRAND BABY AND MYSELF COULD HAVE LOST OUR LIFE" NOW NO CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK I HAVE BEEN REALLY PATIENT WITH CHEVY WITH THIS CAR I STILL HAVE ALL MY RECEIPTS FROM AAA FIXING THIS CAR I REFUSED TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY ON THIS CAR. I NEED TOKNOW IF THIS COMPANY WILL HELP ME BECAUSE A 2010 SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS MUCH PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH THE TRAK STABILIZATION LIGHT CAME ON WITH A WARNING THAT ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. I STOPPED THE CAR AND SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE WARNINGS CAME BACK ON AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION SAFELY. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS LATER, THE CAR STARTED FINE WITH THE ONLY WARNING BEING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I DROVE HOME AND CALLED MY LOCAL REPAIR TO LOOK AT IT. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I STARTED IT THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL AND MY LOCAL DEALER CHECK THE SENSORS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 30 DAYS LATER AND HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN 4 TIMES SINCE THEN. EACH TIME AFTER 2-5 HOURS THE CAR SEEMS FINE EXCEPT FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH GOES OUT THE NEXT DAY. *JS

AFTER WET WEAR HER STABILITY LIGHT MESSAGE, TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AS DOES ENGINE POWER REDUCED MESSAGE POWER IS REDUCED AND VEHICLE DIES IF YOU DO NOT PULL OVER AND TURN IT OFF AND BCK ON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM WHICH GM IS AWARE OF AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES IF NOT DEALT WITH. *TR

IT HAD SNOWED OVERNIGHT AND I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES PER HOUR GOING DOWNHILL WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN WHERE THE ODOMETER READING IS IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND THEN CHECK TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK STABILIZER. I DID MAKE IT TO WORK AS THE CAR SHOCK AS THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. I DID LET IT SIT ALL DAY WHILE I WAS AT WORK AND THEN WHEN I STARTED IT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND IT RAN OK. I TOOK IT ACROSS THE STREET AND PARKED IT AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND SINCE IT IS SUNDAY THEY ARE NOT OPEN AND I WILL STOP BY IN THE MORNING TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS WRONG TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR AND CONSIDERING NOT OWNING ANOTHER CHEVY. *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

DRIVING ABOUT HALF MILE FROM HOME, SUDDENLY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCE ENGINE POWER MESSAGE TURN ON. CAR START TO LOSE POWER. AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 2 MILES, WENT TO A PARKING LOT. ENGINE BEGAN ROUGH. PARK THE CAR AND WENT SHOPPING. ABOUT 1 HR. LATER THE CAR START FINE AND RUNNING NORMAL, EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON . PARK CAR IN GARAGE. NEXT DAY, START THE CAR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL & REDUCE ENGINE POWER MESSAGE TURN ON. BACK IN/OUT GARAGE AND TURN ENGINE ON/OFF 3 TIMES. ENGINE IS VERY ROUGH. BACK TO GARAGE. NEXT DAY. START THE CAR, ENGINE RAN NORMAL WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON. DROVE THE CAR AROUND A CIRCLE AND BACK TO GARAGE. RUNS FINE. GOT INTO INTERNET AN FOUND ABOUT A LOT OF COMPLAINS(100S) ON THIS CAR (2010 & EARLIER CHEVY IMPALA) FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH REPORT OF DANGEROUS INCIDENCE ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM AFRAID TO USE IT AGAIN UNTIL IT IS FIXED. I HOPE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THE DEFECT. THIS CAR IS IN GARAGE, AND IS SELDOM USE BECAUSE I HAVE 3 CARS, AND I AM RETIRED. *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

MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON PA ROUTE 15. WE WERE ON SPEED CONTROL AT 55 MPH. AN ERROR SIGNAL APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD SAYING SERVICE TRAKCONTROL A FEW SECONDS LATER A SIGNAL SAID--- LOSING ENGINE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SOMEWHAT NARROW SHOULDER IN A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE DIED. I COULD NOT START THE CAR. A CALLED AAA AND AFTER 45 MINUTES WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE IN DILLSBURG. JUST BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR. THE MECHANIC TRIED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND COULD NOT. I DECIDED TO DRIVE ON TO MY DESTINATION IN. NJ THE ERROR SIGNALS APPEARED ONCE MORE BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A SERVICE STATION AND SIT. I RESTARTED CAR AND DROVE TO MY DESTINATION. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO "RT 46 CHEVROLET"IN NJ THREE DAYS LATER A NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS INSTALLED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY HOME IN NY STATE.. IT WAS VERY SCARY TO LOSE POWER ON A HWY AT 55 MPH AND I WONDER ABOUT TRUSTING THE CAR!!!!! *TR
