THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 100K MILES AND CHEVY DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. THE ISSUE IS RANDOM JERKING OF THE TRANSMISSION UPON TAKING OFF IN TRAFFIC, AT LIGHT, OR FROM STAND STILL HAS CAUSED: (A) MY WHEELS TO SPIN, (B) THE CAR TO PULL INTO THE NEXT LANE, (C) ALMOST REAR-END COLLISION WITH CAR IN FRONT, AND (D) SUDDEN RAPID ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR I ALMOST REAR-ENDED WAS A 2007 CHEVY POLICE IMPALA THE OFFICER EXITED HIS CAR ASKED WAS THERE A PROBLEM I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND HE STATED "YEA MINE DOES THAT TOO THIS CAR ISN'T A SAFE ONE" THIS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED NATIONALLY. *TR

MY IMPALA'S SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHTS CAME ON 05/07/12 AND I LOSS POWER TO MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT SERVICED, I WAS TOLD AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED IT THAT I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY SO I HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE COST OF $647.00 1 WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY CAR LOSS POWER AND SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY LUCKILY I WASN'T IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO RESTART IT AND WHITE SMOKE CAME FROM THE TAILPIPE SO I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME AFTER LOOKING @ IT THAT NOW I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST ME $6200 I DIDN'T GET ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT I WAS HAVING ENGINE TROUBLE AND THEY CANT TELL ME WHY IT HAPPENED.
