TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY WITHOUT WARNING.

I WAS TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 22 WHEN THE STABILITRAK REQUIRES MAINTENANCE DISPLAYED ACROSS DRIVER'S INFORMATION CENTER. NEXT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND DISPLAY LIGHTS UP FOLLOWED BY, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, IN WHICH I LOST ALMOST ALL POWER TO MY VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 70 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE AND HAD TO NAVIGATE TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO REACH A SAFE SPOT ON THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE.

I HAVE HAD MY 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR NOW. PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH-SPEED'S IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER TWO LIGHTS POP UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT. I ALSO GET THREE DISPLAY MESSAGES, SERVICE STABILTRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. HALF OF THE TIMES THAT THIS OCCURS MY CAR LITERALLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND A DIFFERENT MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED STATING ENGINE POWER IS SHUTTING DOWN. I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE, POWER STEERING, GAS ETC. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING HIGH SPEEDS, WHICH IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. I TURN THE CAR OFF. IF I IMMEDIATELY TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON IT DOES NOTHING. I MUST WAIT A MINUTE OR 2 BEFORE IT WILL TURN OVER. AT THIS POINT USUALLY ALL DISPLAY AND LIGHTS ARE OFF, EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHICH EVENTUALLY DOES GO AWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP!!! *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT SAYS SERVICE STABILITRAK REDUCED POWER ENGINE. THEN THE CAR SLOWS, IT MAY JERK, OR STALL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO BE LOOKED AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES. I'VE BEEN TOLD THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING AND I SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN TO GET SERVICED THE LIGHT COMES ON. IT USUALLY LAST A FEW DAYS BUT IT WILL COME BACK ON. I'VE ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET ABOUT FIXING IT BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET SERVICED I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE UNDER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL CAR ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH IF TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR CAR ENGINE REDUCES POWER. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.
