2009 Chevrolet Impala

SINCE WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR WE ARE CONSTANTLY HAVING STABILITY TRACT CONTROL SENSORS. WE HAVE REPLACE THEM ONCE AND IT IS SHOWING UP AGAIN. WHEN THE STABILITY TRACT CONTROL GOES BAD THEN THE ABS AND BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT ALSO COMES ON ALONG WITH IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AS I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THESE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR IMPALAS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 PER HOUR AND THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND THEN SAID THAT ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. IT ALSO HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND STAYED ON ALL THE WAY HOME. I THEN GOT HOME SAFELY THAT TIME AND SHUT OFF THE CAR ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER WENT OUT AND ALL LIGHTS HAD GONE OFF AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES SINCE THEN. THEN ON 6/29/15 THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. HOWEVER THIS TIME THE CAR SAID THROTTLE DISABLED AND THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO TRY AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER ABOUT 10 OR 15 MINUTES THE CAR THEN STARTED BACK UP AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THEN LATER IN THE DAY I RETURNED HOME AND TRIED TO LEAVE IN MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START AND HAD NO POWER WHAT SO EVER. THE KEY ALSO WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND I JUST HAD THAT RECALL DEALT WITH ON THE KEY. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THIS LAST INCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND GM NEEDS TO PAY FOR WHAT I AM OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I NOW HAD TO GET A RENTAL CAR TO WORK. I HAVE READ PAGES UPON PAGES OF COMPLAINTS JUST LIKE MINE, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING INJURED OR KILLED FOR GM TO DO SOMETHING?

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON. WARNINGS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER ARE DISPLAYED AND ALL BUT SHUTS MY CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING CARS TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND SWERVE BARELY MISSING ME. I GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF. THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON SAME MESSAGES AND WON'T GO NO WHERE. DO THE SAME THING AGAIN ONLY WAITING LONGER AND NO MESSAGES BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. I DRIVE HOME. NEXT DAY NO WARNINGS OR LIGHTS. COUPLE WEEKS GO BY DOES THE WHOLE WARNINGS AND LIGHTS AND SLOWS CAR DOWN AGAIN BUT DOESN'T COMPLETELY SHUT IT DOWN. I WAS IN REGULAR STREET TRAFFIC THIS TIME ABOUT 35MPH. AND NOW IT'S MORE FREQUENT SOMETIMES A COUPLE TIMES A DAY TO ONCE EVERY DAY OR TWO. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. I'M READING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON A LOT OF IMPALAS CAUSING MAJOR PROBLEMS AND WRECKS. *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY TRACK AND ABS LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE POWER WAS LOWER. I HAD THE LEFT SPEED SENSOR REPLACED AND THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR REPLACE ON AUGUST 8TH AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD FIXED THIS PROBLEM IN APRIL AND AGAIN IN JUNE. I WAS TOLD THEY CHANGED SENSORS THEN ALSO, BUT I AM NOT SURE OF WHICH ONES AT THAT TIME. I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE FORTH TIME. REPLACING THE SENSORS EVERY FEW MONTHS IS GETTING EXPENSIVE. ALSO NOT VERY SAFE. I CONTACTED GM AND THE WOMAN TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED AGAIN. I HAVE FIXED THE SAME ISSUE THREE TIMES ALREADY. THEY WERE OF NO HELP AT ALL. *TR

WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, MESSAGE LIT UP SAYING ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, THEN SAID STARTING DISABLED AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF MID HIGHWAY WITH NO TIME TO REACT. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL CARS, TRACTOR TRAILER, AND BUSES. I HAD NO POWER STEERING, NOTHING. I HAVE 5 CHILDREN WHO ARE OFTEN IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THIS CREATED A MESS OF TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE. AFTER BEING SCARED OUT OF MY MIND AND STUCK HALF IN A HIGHWAY LANE FOR 5 MIN WITH TRAFFIC SWERVING, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP WITH NO ISSUES AND I CONTINUED HOME. NO SIGN OF ANYTHING TODAY, HOWEVER I AM READING THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CHEVY IMPALA OWNERS WHO STATE THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND IT COMES AND GOES AND HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX IT AND IT STILL HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN SOMETIMES MORE THAN OTHERS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE A LIFE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ONTO A HIGHWAY WHEN I REACH 56 MILES PER HOUR MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SLOW DOWN THE BRAKES LOCKED AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE. THE LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING ON AND OFF AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING RAPIDLY AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. ONCE I STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK UP AND THE IGNITION SWITCH SEEMED TO BE STUCK AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TRY TO REMOVE THE KEY THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT SO I HAVE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO PARK A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE THE KEY. SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED I HEAR A KNOCKING SOUND IN MY GLOVE BOX WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN AND CLOSED AND SOMETIME HOURS AFTER ILL HEAR THE NOISE AND THE ELECTRIC WILL FLICKER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 40 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE DISPLAYED AS WELL. THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN THE CAR OFF TO TRY AND GET THE ISSUE TO SUBSIDE. ONCE BACK ON THE ROAD, NOT MORE THAN 3 MILES LATER THE ISSUE SURFACED AGAIN. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVE (VERY SLOWLY) BACK TO MY HOUSE. NOT SURE IF IT WILL BE SAFE TO DRIVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE REPLACED THE WHEEL HUBS AND THROTTLE PEDAL SENSOR IN THE PAST FEW YEARS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY AND EVEN AFTER HAVING IT FIXED BY A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED IN SERIOUS INJURY HAD I NOT BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE ANY CARS IMMEDIATELY AROUND ME. WITH THE AMOUNT OF CONSISTENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF CAR I HOPE IT CAN BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I WOKE UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A BRAIN INJURY, TONGUE NEARLY CUT IN HALF, THORATIC SPRAIN, NECK SPRAIN, ETC. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD, I WAS GOING AT LEAST 60-65 MPH WHEN I HAD MY FRONT END CRASH AND MY HEAD WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES ALREADY SUBMITTED TO CHEVY, SUCH AS THE STEERING ISSUES I HAD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I LATER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN I WAS TURNING MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COME INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. I HAVE HAD A TECHNICIAN LOOK AT THIS FOR ME AND ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR (ACCELERATOR PEDAL) IS GOING IN AND OUT. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS CONNECTED TO A SENSOR THAT DRIVES THE THROTTLE ON THE ENGINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE LOOSES ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL. *TR
