2011 Chevrolet Impala

I WAS DRIVING ON I-695 (IN BALTIMORE) WITH MY 3 DAUGHTERS I RECEIVED "SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED" MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH. THE ENGINE AND TRACKING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGES WOULD NOT GO AWAY. I WAS FRIGHTEN AND HOPEFUL THAT WE WOULD NOT ONLY MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION BUT THEN BACK HOME AGAIN. FORTUNATELY WE DID BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A ONGOING ISSUES AND MAYBE COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THAT MAKES ME NERVOUS BECAUSE I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH ONLY ONE SOURCE OF INCOME.

CAR THREW MESSAGE SAYING REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK ALL AT ONCE. MY CAR WOULD NOT GO AND WAS LOSING SPEED WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF AT A HEAVILY TRAVELED PART OF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AND WORKED ON. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT IS POSSIBLY A BAD THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TWO OTHER TIMES WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR. I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE NOTED THAT THIS TIME IT LEFT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WENT FROM DOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH WAS 70 THEN IT GRADUALLY DECREASED IN SPEED UNTIL IT WOULD NO LONGER RUN AT ALL.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP MY ABS SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL COME ON THEN MY 2011 HESITATION TO STOP WHEN BRAKING. EVEN IF I GO SLOW OR JUST STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. IT PUSHES MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. A CRANKING NOISE SOUND. I HAVE GOTTEN BRAKE, TIRE RODS, ROADERS AND NEW TIRES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THIS HAPPENS SPECIFICALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN HAVING TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I ALMOST CRASHED SEVERAL TIMES NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. MIND YOU MY CAR ONLY HAS 65000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS JUST TOO SOON.

WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL? I SEE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR GM VEHICLES. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT GM JUST DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH AFTER THE SALE. I JUST BOUGHT 2011 IMPALA AND NOW THE STABALITRACK SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL DO THIS FOR NO APPARENT REASON BUT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING. USING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON LEVEL ROAD AND DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THROWS CAR OUT OF CRUISE, DECELERATING WHILE GAGES FLIP AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE. POWER LOSS AND LACK OF ACCELERATION ARE DEFINITELY SAFETY ISSUES. PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO MICHIGAN HIGHWAY AND I GET HALFWAY ACROSS HIGHWAY AND CAR STOPS. THIS HIGHWAY IS 55 MPG AND WHILE I WOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO CROSS THE LANE, CAR LOOSES ALL POWER. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET GIVES NO HELP FOR A FIX. I TURNED THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL OFF, BUT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT GO AWAY. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THERE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER GARAGE ONLY TO GET CHARGED EXORBITANT PRICES FOR "POSSIBLE" THAT DO NOT SEEM TO HELP. GM SHOULD GET THIS FIGURED OUT AND NOT LET EVERY DEALER GARAGE DO THEIR OWN GUESSING ON WHAT WILL FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT IS NOT LIMITED TO SINGLE MODEL OR YEAR BUT SPANS MANY YEARS WITH MANY MODELS. MY FIRST VEHICLE WAS A GM BUT THIS MAY BE MY LAST GM. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A DATE BELOW BUT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND GETTING STEADILY WORSE. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT BUT NOBODY CAN GIVE ME ANY USEFUL ANSWERS

THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITRAK LIGHT HAS COME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND ALSO CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. I AM NOW AT THE POINT OF DESPERATION AS THIS MORNING, WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME THE CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF BUT PROCEEDED TO ROLL EVEN WITH ME ATTEMPTING TO PUT ON BRAKES. I HAVE READ IN SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS, INCLUDING SOMEONE CRASHING INTO A LIGHT POLE. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT CAN BE DONE, AS I NOW FEAR FOR MY LIFE WITH THIS CAR.
