2010 Chevrolet Impala

I started my vehicle in the morning to let it warm up. I come back out to get myself and my son in the vehicle to go to work and take him to school. My dash upon entry had a check engine light on, and the message it displayed was "engine power reduced." I put my car into reverse, having no choice but to drive it and the traction control went out. My father in law pulled the code and it said something about the accelerator sensor. This is a known issue and recall in other models and I wanted to report it is also happening in my model.

WHEN TURNING LEFT THE VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND THE WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE ABS COME ON. THIS IS MORE NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN TURNING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING OR MAINTAINING ANY SLEEK GREATER THAN 25MPH. THE SHAKE IS MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 45-60MPH, AND BECOMES LESS NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 61-70MPH.

MY CHEVY IMPALA WHEN IN MOTION HAS SIGNALS FOR SERVICE STABILITRAC, THE CHECK ENGINE COMES ON AND THE A MESSAGE THAT SAYS REDUCED ENGINE POWER SHOWS UP. IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF IMPALA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE! THE STABILITACK GOES OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGTS STAYS ON BUT USUALLY GOES OFF, AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT AFTER JUST HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED A FEW WEEKS EARLIER, WITHOUT WARNING, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. JUST BEFORE THE STALL IT WAS DRIVING COMPLETELY NORMAL WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL. SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE MESSAGES OF SERVICE STABILTRACK, TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, AND LOW ENGINE POWER. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN AFTERMARKET SENONDARY AIR CHECK VALVE THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. WITH THIS THEY GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING CODES; P0068, P0340, P0651, AND P2135. DUE TO ME JUST RECENTLY GETTING THIS PART REPLACED THIS PAST FEBRUARY I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED IT. WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK IT WOULD NO LONGER EVEN START. THE MECHANIC THEN INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR VALVE WOULD NOT CAUSE THIS ISSUE AND THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. WHEN THAT WAS DONE I WAS TOLD A SECOND TIME THAT IT WAS THE AIR VALVE. I HAVE NOW COME OUT OF POCKET TWICE FOR TOWS THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. ALONG WITH PAYING FOR AN EXPENSIVE PART POSSIBLY TWICE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER GIVEN ME ANY ISSUES UNTIL THIS YEAR.

ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE THERE ARE FOUR (4) RECALL ITEMS FOR THIS CAR' LOWER CONTROL ARM, SEATBELT ASSEMBLE ANCHORAGE PASSENGER PRESSURE SENSOR WIRES AND IGNITION CUT OFF. I HAVE CONTRACTED BEN MYNATT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AT 281 CONCORD PKWY S, CONCORD, NC 28027 REGARDING THESE RECALLS. ACCORDING TO BEN MYNATT CHEVROLET THESE RECALLS DO NOT ASSIST. PLEASE CONFIRM. I ALSO SEE THAT THERE ARE 313 COMPLAINTS BUT 0 INVESTIGATIONS.

I WAS DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VERY HARD. AND IT MADE LIKE A ZOOMING SOUND AND ALL THE POWER WENT OUT. THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL CAME UP ON THE DASH BOARD. THE MOTOR ICON STARTED FLASHING. THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THEN IT JUST STOPPED. HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. THANK GOD THERE WAS A PARKING SPACE.
