MY SON WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS 60-70MPH, THE CAR DISPLAY WOULD SAY "REDUCED POWER" FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE STABILLATRAC", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL". SHUTTING CAR DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SHUT CAR OFF FOR 5-10 MINUTES AND WOULD B FINE FOR A WEEK, A MONTH, SIX MONTHS!!! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR OVER A YEAR!! CAR NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE TO DEALER EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, NEEDLESS TO SAY NO ONE DRIVES IT BUT ME. HAVE NOT TAKING TO DEALER BECAUSE RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE A SURE FIX!! OTHER PEOPLE ARE REPLACING THROTTLEBODY,S, GAS PEDALS, GAS CAPS, ABS SENSORS, VARIOUS WIRING HARNESSES, BATTERIES, GROUNDS, COMPUTERS WITHOUT ANY OF THEM BEING A SURE FIX. SOMEONE WILL OR MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN KILLED BY THIS MALFUNCTION AND UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT LIVE TO SAY THE CAR DID THIS!!!! I KNOW FROM READING ONLINE FORUMS AND THE SUCH THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON OCCURANCE ON MULTIPLE YEARS OF THIS MODEL!! ALL OF THIS ON TOP OF A $2 KEY SWITCH FIX THAT TOOK HOW MANY TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING WAS DONE!!!

WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE, AS I ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO DRIVE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR WILL STALL FOR A SECOND, MAKE NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WHINE, AND THEN JUMP FORWARD LIKE IT'S HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY SO OFTEN, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO CAR X, MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, AND ANOTHER LOCAL GOODYEAR TIRES DEALER, BUT NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER AND TECHNICIANS HAVE LOOKED AT IT, BUT JUST SCRATCH THEIR HEADS. THERE IS EVEN A FORUM ONLINE REGARDING THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER CHEVY IMPALA OWNERS [XXX] AND OWNERS SEEM TO PUT LOTS OF MONEY INTO THE ISSUE BUT WITH NO RESOLVE. ** THE ISSUE SEEMS TO REMEDY ITSELF WHEN I TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL. ** THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS WHERE I'LL BE PULLING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE CAR WILL STALL AND I'LL FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO BE HIT BECAUSE THE CAR "DIES" FOR A SECOND. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT. THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR IS FAULTY OR HAS FAULTY WIRING. IT'S A NEWER VEHICLE, I CURRENTLY HAVE 72,000 MILES ON IT. AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANYBODY ESPECIALLY MY KIDS WHO RIDES IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. THE SENSOR WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY WEIGHT ON THE SEAT AND WILL NOT ACTIVATE IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED UP A WHILE BACK AND PUT IN A COMPLAINT. SOMEBODY CALLED ME BACK BUT NEVER ANSWERED MY PHONE OR MESSAGES I HAD LEFT. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOTICED THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I EXPECT CHEVY TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU

ON THE MORNING OF TUESDAY, JUNE 2ND, 2015 JUST AFTER 10AM I WAS LEAVING MY APARTMENT MANAGERS OFFICE AND WHEN I WAS GOING IN REVERSE AND THEN TO DRIVE AND TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR THE IMPALA BEGAN TO SHAKE AND ON THE DASHBOARD IT SAID THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED TO HALF AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITRAK. WHEN I PARKED IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING, I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT WAS STILL SHAKING/ IDLING ROUGH AND ON THE DASHBOARD IS CONTINUED TO READ, "ENGINE POWER REDUCED BY HALF" AND MENTIONED STABILITRAK. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ON DURING THIS TIME. I LEFT THE CAR AND RETURNED 10 MINUTES LATER AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND WHILE IT NO LONGER IDLED ROUGHLY, IT STILL HAD STIBILITRAK ON THE DASHBOARD.

WE OWN BOTH A 2011 AND A 2013 CHEVY IMPALA. BOTH VEHICLES GRIND AND HESITATE. THEY BOTH ACT THIS WAY WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT, BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN PUTTING IT IN DRIVE AND ANY OTHER TIME IT FEELS NECESSARY TO DO SO. EXCEPT WHILE BEING CHECKED BY THE MECHANIC. WE OWNED A 2007 IMPALA THAT DID THE SAME THING. OUR REMEDY, PUSH THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON TO THE "OFF" POSITION. STOPPED MAKING THE NOISE AND NO LONGER HESITATES AFTER PUTTING IT IN DRIVE. OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO DO THIS EACH AND EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE CAR. NO MORE BUYING CHEVY'S FOR US.

WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED, THE CAR DOES NOT SLOW DOWN. DEALER SAYS CAR IS OK. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THE CAR WILL RUN ALONG AT ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR FROM A STOPPED POSITION WITHOUT TOUCHING ACCELERATOR. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE ON ICE OR SNOW.

NHTSA ODI 10721155

DRIVING ALONG AND CAR JUST ACCELERATED AND COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE REDUCE POWER, LOW ENGINE POWER, SERVICE STABILITY TRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKE TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO STOP OR AT LEAST SLOW DOWN BUT THE CAR SEEMS AS IF IT WAS GETTING FASTING THEN IT MADE A JERK AND I BUMPED MY HEAD AGAINST THE WINDOW, AND MY FOOT GOT STUCK UNDER THE PEDAL AND KNEE GOT JAMMED . MY MOM GOT HURT ALSO AND BEING JERKED BACK AND FORTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT FAILED. IN ORDER FOR THE HEAT TO FUNCTION, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE IN MOTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIME.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY IMPALA AND DURING AN INSPECTION FOUND OUT THAT THE CLUNK I STARTED HEARING 2 WEEKS AGO WAS DUE TO A FRONT ALUMINUM SUB-FRAME CONTROL ARM MOUNT THAT BROKE. THE CAR HAD A SAFETY RECALL ON IT (RECALL 12V377) FOR FRONT CONTROL ARMS, WHICH WERE REPLACED, BUT THE NEW CONTROL ARMS ARE DEFECTIVE ALSO, CAUSING THEM TO BECOME MISALIGNED INSIDE THE SUB-FRAME CONTROL ARM MOUNTS, WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY RUBBED AND WORE THE ALUMINUM SUB-FRAME CONTROL ARM MOUNTS TO THE POINT WHERE IT BROKE. I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THIS. THE FRONT BUSHING IS A VERTICAL BUSHING DESIGN FROM GM THAT HAS BEEN NOTED FOR A VERY HIGH AND REPEATED FAILURE RATE, NOT JUST ON THE W-BODY CARS BUT ALSO ON MANY DELTA PLATFORM CARS SUCH AS CHEVY COBALT AND HHR, PONTIAC G5, SATURN ION. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN TO IT, EVEN THO THIS CAR ONLY HAS 78K MILES ON IT, AND IS ONLY 4 YEARS 1 MONTH OLD, THEY DECLINED WARRANTY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE ENTIRE WHEEL CONTROL ARM MOUNTS BROKE AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE FRAME. AND IT IS DUE TO THE SECOND SET OF DEFECTIVE CONTROLS ARMS IN JUST 78K MILES. ANY IMPALA OWNER SHOULD GO CHECK THIS IMMEDIATELY AS IT CAN BE A DEADLY DEFECT THAT GM IS DECLINING TO KNOW ABOUT. IT ALSO AFFECTS OTHER GM 2006 AND NEWER W-BODY CARS: PONTIAC GRAND PRIX, BUICK LACROSSE, CHEVY IMPALA AND MONTE CARLO. THE ISSUE IS, THIS TYPE OF BUSHING USED BY GM FOR MANY YEARS ON MANY MODELS IS KNOWN TO HAVE VERY HIGH FAILURE, AND WITH STEEL CONTROL ARM MOUNTS, IT DIDN'T DAMAGE THE MOUNTS/SUB-FRAME UNLESS LEFT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, BUT NOW WITH THE ALUMINUM SUB-FRAME, WHEN THE BUSHING GOES BAD, THE OUTER STEEL PART OF THE BUSHING WEARS AWAY INTO THE SOFT ALUMINUM CONTROL ARM MOUNT ON THE SUB-FRAME VERY QUICKLY, AND MAY GO UNNOTICED BY THE DRIVER UNTIL IT BREAKS, WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH MAY LEAD TO A CRASH, CAUSING BODILY HARM OR EVEN A FATALITY.

CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 40MPH. REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILTRAK TO BE SERVICED. GM WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SOME CARS WILL AUTOMATICALLY JUST SHUT DOWN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" MESSAGE COMES ON, THEN, THE MESSAGES "SERVICE STABILITY TRAK" THEN "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED". AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR STARTS UP AND EVERYTHING IS FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THEN. EVERY COUPLE MONTHS THE SENSOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WITH THE ABOVE MESSAGE-WITHOUT CAR SHUTTING DOWN. THE LIGHTS COME ON A LOT MORE OFTEN NOW-ALTHOUGH THE CAR DOES NOT SHUT DOWN, IT'S THE FEAR OF THE POSSIBILITY. WHEN GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. I'M BRINGING IN MY CAR TOMORROW TO GET FIXED. HOWEVER, ITS UPSETTING THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON A GMC TRUCK IN 2008 FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF YEAR OF MILES OF THE IMPALA. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR STARTED HESITATING. THE WHEEL TRACTION AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT HAD THREE MESSAGES COME UP STATING ENGINE LOSING POWER,TRACTION STABILITY NEEDED I CAN'T RECALL THE LAST MESSAGES. IT COMES AND GOES ON AND OFF. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE LIGHT, STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. WITHIN TWO (2) MINUTES OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT IT SELF OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE GOING 55 MPH. I LOST STEERING, HAD NO POWER, OR BRAKING. I THREW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET IT STARTED IT WHILE I WAS IN MOTION WITH NO POWER. THE IMPALA DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER. THE CAR WASN'T RESPONDING BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING / BRAKING WAS NOT RESPONDING. THE IMPALA WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WITHOUT WARNING. I LET THE CAR COST FOR A WHILE UNTIL I COULD FIND A SAFE SPOT TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I REALLY HAD TO MUSCLE THE STEERING WHEEL WITH SOME SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO GET IT TO TURN. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE BEFORE THIS ISSUE. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE "PEDALASSEMBLY" GAS PEDAL SENSOR WENT BAD, CAUSING THE 2011 IMPALA TO GO INTO "LIMP MODE" WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO A JOB INTERVIEW ON A BARELY MOISTENED ROAD. SERVICE CONTROL THEN PROCEEDED TO POP UP ON MY DASH BOARD ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCING ENGINE POWER. MY CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND I WASN'T ABLE TO CRANK IT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. *TR

I PURCHASED THE IMPALA ON JUNE 16, 2014, THERE WAS SOME POPPING NOISE FROM THE DASH BOARD ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE SALE'S MANAGER HAD ME BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR THE NEXT DAY. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED WITHIN 2-3 DAYS. I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR SENSOR. IN JANUARY 2015 THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. NOW 8 MONTHS LATER TO THE DATE (MARCH 12, 2015), THE STABILIZER TRACK-ENGINE REDUCE POWER LIGHT AND MESSAGE CAME. I CAME TO A STOP. CUT THE CAR OFF FOR 15-20 MINUTES ONLY FOR THE LIGHT TO REAPPEAR AFTER MOMENTS OF DRIVING. I GOT TO WORK. THE CAR SAT FOR 9 HOURS AND STILL THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING THE CAR. I FOUND OUT IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT. I AM AT MY WITS END AND NOW THE FINANCE COMPANY WANTS ME TO CONTINUE TO PAY MY MONTHLY CAR NOTE FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT TOTALLY DRIVABLE...WHY??? GM SHOULD PAY!!! *TR
