2010 Chevrolet Impala

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

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE IN MN WHEN THE CAR JUST QUIT,AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT THERE WAS A OFF RAMP AND WE COASTED UP TO THE TOP. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SO WE NEVER REPORTED IT,AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. WASN'T TILL TODAY MY WIFE SAW WHERE GM HAD A PROBLEM SOUNDING LIKE HAPPENED TO US. SO I WENT ON LINE WITH GM THE GIRL SAID TAKE IT TO A DEALER ,ITS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I LL HAVE TO PAY GRRRRRRRRR I SAID ITS NOT MY TROUBLE WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS YOUR FAULT. SHE DIDN'T CARE,NO BIG SURPRISE ! I TOLD HER THAT I PRINTED OUT WHAT SHE AID SO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY WIFE OR ME I HAVE PROOF I TOLD THEM OF MY TROUBLE. THOUGHT YOU WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW SO IF ANYONE ELSE SHOULD REPORT THE PROBLEM THEY ARE NOT ALONE. *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

AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON .SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO 15 MPH. HAD TO PULL OVER TURN CAR OFF . THEN RESTARTED IT AGAIN IT WAS FINE FOR A MONTH . IT REPEATED SAME PROBLEM. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON .HDHAD CODE READ SAYING THROTTLE CABLE AND TRACTION CONTROL.TO ME THAT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HIGHWAY DRIVING THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT .I CAN SEE THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH GENERAL MOTORS WITH IMPALAS AND OTHER MODELS SINCE 2008.HOW MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS WOULD IT TAKE UNTIL ITS FIXED .COMPLAINTS KEEP COMING UP AFTER THROTTLE BODIES REPLACED STILL HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME STUCK IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000. ... UPDATED 03/24/14 *BF UPDATED 03/31/14

HAD TO PUT A NEW BATTERY IN AND THEN THE MESSAGE LIGHT CAME ON TO SERVICE THE AIR BAG....THEY SAID A MODULE WENT OUT UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT AND UNDER THE LEFT FRONT BUMPER.......IT WILL COST $ 1030 + TAX...ONLY 43,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I'M TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WONT WORK IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT TILL I GET IT FIXED.........WOULD THAT KEEP MY INSURANCE FROM PAYING IF I DO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY SEE THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE BEEN SERVICED?? *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
