2010 Chevrolet Impala

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I WAS DOING 55 MPH,AND THE CAR STARTED TO HESITATE,AND THE DASHBOARD INFO READ STABILITRAC, ENGINE SAFTY MOD, AND REDUCED POWER. THEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN,AND WHEN I TRIED TO GIVE IT SOME GAS THE ENGINE STARTED TO KNOCK,AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF,AND OPENED THE HOOD, AND IT WASN'T EVEN OVER HEATING. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES I STARTED IT UP AND WENT ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED FEET AND IT DID IT AGAIN.

MY SERVICE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT HAD BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR A YEAR AGO, I AM GOING TO SELL IT BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO SELL IT WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY BEING QUESTIONABLE. I DROVE IT TO AUTO NATION YESTERDAY JUNE 11TH TO SEE IF IT WAS A RECALL. THEY SAID THERE HASN'T BEEN ONE. I DROVE IT HOME AND STARTED SEARCHING ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH IT AND THERE WERE SO MANY POSTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I SEARCHED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I READ TO DO AND LOW AND BEHOLD ALL TYPES OF WIRES UNDER IT ARE COMPLETELY SEVERED AND TORN UP. I WAS GOING TO FIX THIS MYSELF BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE HELD LIABLE IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR INJURY. THIS MUST BE FIXED AND IT'S MY BELIEF THAT IT'S CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE DESIGN. PLEASE HOLD CHEVROLET RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR BOTH THE PASSENGER AND POSSIBLY EVERYONE ELSE IN THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LOOKING INTO THIS. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT WHEN A PERSON CALLS A DEALER TELLING THEN EXACTLY WHAT THEY FOUND D (I CALLED LENLYLE ON COLFAX AND SABLE IN AURORA, CO. AND EXPLAINED TO THEN MY FINDINGS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THEY SHOULD DIRECT A PERSON TO YOU GUYS WHEN SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY IS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY CONTACT YOU DOT AS WELL AS OFFER A REPAIR IMEDIATELY AND CONSIDER THEMSELVES LUCKY THAT SOMEONE WASN'T KILLED BECAUSE A PERSON CAME TO THEM WITH THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO THE REPAIR THEMSELVES.

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT IS STICKING AND WILL NOT LATCH. IF YOU DO GET IT TO LATCH IT WILL UNLATCH WITH THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY TOLD ME THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO GET THE LATCH UNSTUCK. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY MECHANISM AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY DO NOT JUST REPLACE THE LATCH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE LATCH AND THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WITH THE TENSIONER. HOWEVER THEY DID NOT HAVE THIS ITEM IN STOCK AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR THE REPAIRS. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING WITH A FAULTY SEAT BELT THAT IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT A LEGAL ISSUE. I MUST WEAR MY SEATBELT - IT IS THE LAW. BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL NOT LATCH. *TR
