THE ISSUE WITH MY 2008 IMPALA IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE. THE CAR REDUCES POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE ABS AND SERVICE TRACTION LIGHTS STAY ON. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I ACTUALLY WOULD LIKE TO FORM A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM TO HAVE THIS RECALLED. ONLY GOVT. ISSUED VEHICLES WERE RECALLED. ALONG WITH POLICE MODELS. I WAS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE IN 9/7/15 WHEN MY SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND CAN BE FATAL ISSUE FOR A NUMBER OF MODELS AND YEARS. PLEASE ADVISE OF PURSUING THE SUIT.
