I HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA LT WITH 65,000 MILES. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. A DEER RAN ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON MAY 12,2013. I WAS GOING 60 MPH AND THEN MADE A SUDDEN STOP. THE NEXT DAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PLUS THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON.... NOW, I ONLY HAD THIS CAR NOT EVEN 2MONTHS AND MAKING PAYMENTS AND I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT (ALREADY). ANY OTHER CAR THAT I HAD HAVE IN THE PAST I MADE SUDDEN STOPS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS NEVER COMES ON. WHATS GOING ON WITH THE CHEVROLET IMPALAS? THEY LOOK NICE BUT THEY ARE SSSOOOO NOT WORTH THE COST TO PURCHASE OR TO GET REPAIRED. THIS IS THE ONLY BAD INVESTMENT I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE. I SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH MY MAZDA. I WILL LET IT BE KNOWN TO ANYONE WHO ASK ME ABOUT CHEVROLET TO DONT EVEN BOTHERED. THERE ARE BETTER CARS THAN THE CHEVROLET. THIS CAR IS ALSO A GAS GUZZLER. I PUT $50 IN THE TANK EVERY 5 DAYS WHEN DRIVING LOCALLY. I ONLY WORK 10 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE. EVERYTIME YOU STOP YOU LOOSE GAS MILEAGE ON YOUR DIC THE GAS IS GREAT ON THE HIGHWAY THOUGH. LIKE I SAID THE WORST INVESTMENT I HAVE EVER MADE. CHEVROLET....IM SO UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED. *TR

RIDING ALONG AT 70 MPH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. COMPUTER SAYS ENGINE SPEED IS REDUCED. DROVE TWO MORE MILES TO PULL OVER SAFELY BUT CAR CUT OFF AND COMPUTER SAYS ENGINE START IS DISABLED AND CAR WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL I UNHOOKED BATTERY. NOT REAL FUN WITH RUSH HOUR IN ST. LEWIS.GLAD I WAS NOT [XXX]ENDED. *TR

[XXX] I HAVE ATTACHED THIS LINK AS A REFERENCE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE GOING THROUGH THIS. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS ALOT OF THESE PEOPLE AS FAR AS THE CAR JERKING AND WITH THE CAR REDUCING ITS SPEED (SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING). I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES ALREADY, WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION LINES AND AN ACCELERATOR SENSOR (WHICH THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE ACCELERATOR). PLEASE NOTE MY COMPLAINT IS NO REFLECTION TO THE SERVICE DEPT AT THAT DEALER FOR THEY WERE EXTREMELY COURTEOUS AND AS HELPFUL AS THEY COULD POSSIBLY BE. I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEALER, BUT I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH THE WAY GM IS NOT HANDLING THIS. AS YOU READ THROUGH THE COMMENTS ON THAT LINK, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. I TRAVEL ON MAJOR EXPRESSWAYS 4 DAYS A WEEK WITH MY MOM AND DON'T WANT TO END UP IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DASHBOARD MESSAGES IF NEEDED. AS OF TODAY, THEY ARE NOT ON BUT THE CAR IS JERKING AGAIN. PLEASE CONSIDER ACTION ON THIS. -- THANK YOU. *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STABILITRAC LIGHT ON WITH REDUCED ENGINE POWER - TESTED AND FOUND CODE B 2138 REPLACED SHORTED GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY. ON APRIL 9, 2010 THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $463 FOR THE FIRST REPAIR AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING I MUST PAY ANOTHER $500 FOR A SENSOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A FAULTY SYSTEM THAT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AND/OR UNDER GMAC RECALL. *TR

PURCHASED BY CHEVY 2010 IMPALA ON JANUARY 25TH OF THIS YEAR AND JUST LAST NIGHT (MARCH 18TH AROUND 715PM) ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK JUST AS I WAS SPEEDING UP AFTER GETTING ON THE 405 IN WA. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE SERVICE STABILITYTRAC CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THERE WAS THIS OTHER LIGHT WHAT LOOKED LIKE TO BE A PICTURE OF THE CAR SWERVING ON ICE ALSO CAME ON. MY CAR SLOWED DOWN, BUT NEVER CUT OFF. MY GET UP ON MY CAR WASN'T WHAT IT NORMALLY IT. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME FROM WORK, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD THAT MY CAR STARTED TO DO THAT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER 40K MILES ON IT. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE ABOUT A "SERVICE STABILITYTRAC". I IMMEDIATELY SEND 2 EMAILS TO THE GENTLEMAN THAT I WORK WITH AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT MY CAR FROM. IT WAS AFTER HOURS WHEN I SENT THE EMAILS, SO I HAVE YET TO GET A RESPONSE. THIS MORNING THOUGH, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT CAME ONE THIS MORNING. I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE INTO WORK WHICH IS ABOUT 25MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, BUT YET THE OTHER 2 DIDN'T EVER COME ON AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATING. THIS IS MY FIRST EVER NEWER CAR AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE IMPALA'S, BUT I HAVE BEEN READING ALL THE OTHER POSTS AND IT CONCERNS ME BECAUSE I'M NOT RICH NOR DO I HAVE THE MONEY OR TIME TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT WASN'T CREATED BY ME. IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING TO KNOW THAT WITH ALL THESE POSTINGS THAT GM HASN'T STEPPED IN AND FIXED THIS PROBLEM NOR COME UP WITH A PROACTIVE SOLUTION FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE REDUCED POWER WARNING COME ON AND CAR STATES ENGINE DISABLED... WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULD AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP... CHEVY SAYS ITS THE THROTTLE BODY AND PEDAL I HAD THIS REPLACED ONCE BEFORE... LOOKING IT UP ON THE WEB I FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE REPAIRED WITH IT ONLY TO COME BACK... I BELIEVE THIS IS A SOFTWARE DEFECT AND WILL KILL SOME ONE... PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS SITE EDMUNDS.COM AND OTHER LINKS ON THE INTERNET... GM IS TURNING A BLIND EYE.. *TR
