2009 Chevrolet Impala

WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 55MPH AND THE SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT. THEN THE CAR JUST COMPLETLY DIED. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO RIGHT SHOULDER AND PARK IT. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND SEEMS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER FOLKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN AND HAVE NO CONTROL. I HAD THE ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR AND WAS THANKFUL THAT THIS DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I AM LOOKING FOR ANSWERS AND PLAN ON TAKING IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TODAY OR TOMORROW.

MY CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME ON MAY 15 2015.SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE APPEARED. I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AT SLOW SPEED.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ REPORTS THAT SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE APPEARED ON OTHER 2009 IMPALAS. SOME REPORTS SAID THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC.I HAD MY OWN MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CAR AND THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WAS THEA.I.R. SYSTEM CHECK VALVE.I LATER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET ABOUT ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. (APP) SENSOR ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR.I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THESE PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY.ALSO, CHEVROLET DID NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS TO THE A.I.R. PUMP. THANK YOU *TR

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?

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE & QUICKLY DECELERATED WITH ANY PRIOR WARNING. 18 WHEELER ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED, ENGINE POWER REDUCED,SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. FINALLY EXITED INTERSTATE SAFELY AND SHUT DOWN ENGINE THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP AND AFTER 2-3 TRIES TO RESTART MESSAGES DISAPPEARED AND VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE OK. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC & FOUND CODES EVIDENCING THE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TAC AND OR THE APP UNITS CAUSING VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE BUT COULD NOT GET THE CONDITION TO REOCCUR. MECHANIC HAD TO REMOVE CODES TO PERMIT TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, COULD NOT DUPLICATE AND TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL RECURRED. WHILE LOOKING FOR REPAIR SHOP WAS SCARED IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN RECEIVED LETTER FROM GM STATING IF THE ABOVE CONDITION HAD OCCURRED THEY WOULD FIX. CALLED GM DEALER MENTIONED LETTER THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR UNLESS THE MESSAGES WERE PRESENT ON PANEL, REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERENCING LETTER, EXPLAINED GM DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR. WAS TOLD BY ANGELA ISSUE WAS SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM BUT GM WOULD NOT ADMIT TO SAFETY ISSUE. GM AGREED TO PAY FOR ONE HOUR OF DIAGNOSTIC TIME TO DETERMINE IF VEHICLE QUALIFIED FOR REPAIR, DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, REFUSED TO REPAIR. CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD NO REPAIR WOULD BE MADE EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED AS STATED IN THE LETTER AND TO WAIT UNTIL SITUATION OCCURRED AGAIN THEN NOT TO START ENGINE AND TOW TO GM DEALER. WAS TOLD GM WOULD NOT PAY FOR TOW OR INCONVENIENCE AND IF THEY COULD SEE CODES THEY MIGHT REPAIR PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER AND BASICALLY SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 5 MPH IF AT ALL.
