2010 Chevrolet Impala

I bought a used car as is for $6700.00 and was told that the car was nothing wrong with it but within the first month 07/02/25 the car has been to 3 different shops and in the shop 5 different times all due to brake problems since I bought the car I have had to replace both front calipers and rotors brake pads wheel bearings and on the back both brake pads plus new tires and it's still not fixed the ABS traction and stability lights are on i could of caused a wreck I only drive it to the store with the money I had paid for the car putting it in a shop I shouldn't of had to do they sold me a dangerous car

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.

THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT AT ANY TIME WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING IT'LL JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THE COMPANY CHEVROLET NEW THAT THEY PUT BAD TRANSMISSION IN THOSE CARS AND LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF. ELECTRICAL ISSUE THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE GAS METER IN MOVES BY ITSELF WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE CAR IT'LL MOVE BY ITSELF DISPLAYING ACCURATE INFORMATION AND THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE TRANSMISSION JUST WENT OUT IN CARS ALMOST RAN INTO ME I LIKE TO BUY THAT DAY BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION EVERYBODY I KNOW WITH THIS CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES
