MY 2007 IMPALA RECENTLY SHUT OFF ON ME WOULDN'T MOVE IN DRIVE AS I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IT HAS BEEN JERKING SINCE I HIT 135000 MILES IT HAS A STRONG ODOR WHEN I CUT MY AC ON IN AS MY CAR IS RUNNING THE ENGINE HAS A STRONG ODORNOW MY CAR WANT DRIVE AT ALL AN I SEE IT HAS 3 RECALLS ON IT PLEASE LET ME WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR BECAUSE THAT WAS SO SCARY HAVING BREAK DOWN ON ME IN TRAFFIC.

IN DECEMBER MY CAR WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED REDUCED ENGINE POWER THE SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR CUT OFF. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC PRAYING THAT WE WOULD NOT BE HIT WHEN EVERYONE IS DOING 70 MPH. WHEN THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ONLY BE TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT I CAN START BY REPLACING THE PCM MODULE AND THAT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A CHEVY DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEY CARS. ESPECIALLY A CAR THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH SO MANY OF ITS CAR ACROSS THE NATION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCE SINCE DECEMBER AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTER HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOT FEELING CONFIDENT IN $1,000 REPAIR THAT THE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES ARE NOT SURE IS GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IN HOPES OF GETTING A SOLUTION AND SOLID PLAN. I THINK THAT GM NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A GOOD SOLID SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND NOT GUESSING FIXES TO MAKE MONEY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING PUT IN DANGER. LIKE I FELT MINE WAS WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE LINE ON A HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR REDUCE POWER AND THEN SHUT DOWN.

MY WIFE'S 2007 CHEVY IMPALA LEFT HER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN A SNOWSTORM.

SHE IMMEDIATELY PUT ON HER HAZARDS AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE STOPPED, THE DIGITAL READOUT SHOWED "ENGINE OVERHEAT, IDLE ENGINE" AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE IS AT A DEALER AWAITING DIAGNOSIS.
