2009 Chevrolet Impala

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE DOING AROUND 65 MILES AN HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY REDUCED ENGINE POWER AT THAT POINT THE CAR SHUT DOWN . AFTER GETTING THE CAR PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IT WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES . THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL , THE DOOR LOCKS ALSO SEEM TO BE MALFUNCTIONING . THIS IS MY WIFES CAR AND SHE HAS SAID THIS HAS HAPPEN TO HER IN THE PAST . I HAVE ALSO DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ON THE WEB AND HAVE SEEN TONS OF ISSUES WITH THESE PROBLEMS . WHAT IS IT GOIN TO TAKE FOR YOU TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE ? *TR

THE ACTUATORS IN ALL FOUR OF MY ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY, WHICH IS A MAJOR ISSUE SINCE THE DRIVER DOOR IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL OPEN FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR WITH A KEY. WE HAVE THREE CHILDREN USING CAR SEATS WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH ONE OF THE DOORS FROM THE FRONT SEAT, SINCE ONE OF THE SEATS IS REAR FACING (BY LAW). THE CHILDREN ARE NOT CAPABLE OF UNLOCKING THE DOORS ON THEIR OWN OR UNBUCKLING THEIR OWN CAR SEAT RESTRAINTS. IF WE WERE TO NEED TO EVACUATE THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY, IT WOULD TAKE ENTIRELY TOO LONG FOR ME TO HAVE TO CLIMB AROUND THE BACK SEAT TO TRY AND GET ALL OF MY CHILDREN UNRESTRAINED AND DOORS UNLOCKED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THAT IS 100% INCORRECT. THIS IS MUCH MORE THAN A CONVENIENCE ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THE FIRST ONE THAT WENT OUT REPAIRED, BUT AM QUITE SADDENED BY THE FACT THAT ALL THREE OF THE OTHER DOORS NEED THE SAME REPAIRS. PLEASE RECONSIDER RECALLING THESE MALFUCTIONING PARTS, BECAUSE THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS IS AT STAKE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE REDUCED POWER WARNING MESSAGE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COULD BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,070.

I HAVE NOTICED A SORT OF JERKING OR CHUGGING FEELING WHILE TRAVELING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS, SUCH AS HIGHWAY AND CITY. THE PROBLEM DOES SEEM TO BE WORSENING. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP REFERRED TO THIS AS A "FISHBITE". I DID NOT SEEM TO REALLY NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL REPAIR WAS MADE TO THE MANIFOLD AND CRANK CASE GASKETS, DUE TO A SEVERE OIL LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP DID LOOK INTO MY CONCERN FOR THE "FISHBITE", BUT A CODE WAS NOT FOUND AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IS THIS A PRECURSOR TO THE OTHER COMPLAINTS INVOLVING LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING? *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS RIGHT SIDE KNOCKING IN THE DASHBOARD FOR ALONG TIME. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THAT NOT REALLY SURE OF WHAT IT IS. I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE A SENSOR BUT HAD TO TAKE THE DASHBOARD TO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN FIXED BECAUSE I JUST DON'T WANT TO JUST BE SPENDING MONEY AND THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM AND MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON 6/29/2014 AND ITS SAYING TO "SERVICE AIR BAG" AND THE TICKING HAS GOTTEN LOUDER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IN THE DASHBOARD. *TR

2009 CHEVY IMPALA 2LT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE BUYING THE CAR NEW IN JANUARY 2010. CURRENTLY THE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 WEEKS STRAIGHT WITH YET ANOTHER DEALER VISIT SCHEDULED. THIS WARNING LIGHT WHEN ILLUMINATED RENDERS THE REST OF THE ELECTRONIC DISPLAY USELESS SINCE THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" DISPLAY NEVER GOES OFF. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM SATISFACTORILY FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS DESPITE THE MULTIPLE TIMES WE HAVE HAD IT IN FOR THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ISSUE. THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNS AND THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FROM SEVERAL MINUTES TO WEEKS. SOME OF THE EXPLANATIONS FOR RETURNING THE CAR TO US WITHOUT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM HAVE BEEN DOWNRIGHT RIDICULOUS. WE HAVE GREAT CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH AN ONGOING AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ISSUE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
