2011 Chevrolet Impala

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR LOST SPEED DROP FROM 35 MPH TO 20 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRIANGLE WITH THE CAR AND SKID MARKS THEN IT KEPT FLASHING THE SERVICE STABILITRAK CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND IT STARTED TO JERK AND JUMP. I HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES OUT OF THIS CAR FIRST IT WAS THE RIGHT HUB (EATING TIRES), THEN THE LEFT HUB (EATING MORE TIRES), THEN THE TRANSMISSION AND GEAR SHIFT COMPLETELY GONE (REPLACED EVERYTHING) NOW THIS PLUS THE FRONT TIRES ARE STILL GETTING ATE UP. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS CHEVY IMPALA. I AM SO READY TO GET A HONDA. AS I SEE THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WHY ISN'T IT A RECALL ON THESE PROBLEMS? NOBODY LIKES TOO LOOSE THEIR MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY GM IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHAT WILL GM DO IF ALL CUSTOMERS PROTEST ABOUT THESE ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON WHETHER ITS FOR THE PUBLIC, PRIVATE, OR GOVERNMENT SECTOR? *TR

I STARTED MY CAR, AND AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES STARTED COMING UP REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL , SERVICE STABILITY TRACK. I PULLED BACK IN , I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, THE CAR SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN, I THEN ,STARTED GOING TO WORK, ABOUT A MILE FROM WORK THE SAME MESSAGES STARTED COMING UP AND I DID THE SAME STEPS TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE TURNED IT ON AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HE STATED IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY, AND THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR. HOWEVER I WAS STATED THAT IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT. ARE THEY REAL, THE HAVE MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE PART AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, THAT IS UNFAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS A REDUCTION OF ENGINE POWER WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON ICY AND DRY ROAD SURFACES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (AND HAD GONE OUT) PREVIOUSLY. DASH SAID "SERVICE STABILITRAC, ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND A MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A "SENSOR IN THE GAS PEDAL" AND THAT IF IT KEPT HAPPENING WE SHOULD REPLACE IT. I DIDN'T FULLY REALIZE THAT THIS MEANT THAT THE THROTTLE WOULD DISABLE ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE LEFT HAND LANE GOING UP A HILL DOING 60 MPH. THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND IN OTHER LANE SO I HAD TO PULL INTO THE CENTER SHOULDER OVERTOP OF 5 INCHES OF SNOW AND ICE. IT WAS A STRUGGLE NOT TO HIT THE GUARDRAIL. THERE WAS BARELY ENOUGH ROOM. I JUST MADE IT OVER THE YELLOW LINE. IT WAS 20 DEGREES AND THEN HAD TO WAIT AN HOUR FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR DID START AND DRIVE AT THE GARAGE. THIS MECHANIC REPLACED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE ERROR WAS CODE P2122. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE COULD SMELL BURNING WIRES. I HAD SMELLED IT BUT DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT WAS. *TR

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN START. WILL RESET TILL RESTART. DEALER QUOTE WAS 550 FOR PART 200 LABOR. JUST NOW 3 YEARS OLD WITH ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE SAFETY RELATED PART. CHEVY AND GM APPEAR TO BE IGNORING THIS ISSUE AND MAKING A GOOD PROFIT ON DEFECTIVE PARTS. COME ON GM HOW ABOUT BACKING UP YOUR PRODUCT. WE BAILED YOU OUT HOW ABOUT MAKING THINGS RIGHT WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL BUYING YOUR CARS. THIS MAY BE MY 3RD AND LAST GM PRODUCT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR JERKED AND A MESSAGE SHOWING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK" SHOWED UP. I NOTICED THE RPMS JERKING UP AND DOWN WITH A PRETTY DRAMATIC RANGE. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING. THE WORST PART IS THAT WHEN I SHUT MY CAR OFF THE PROBLEM STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 OTHER TIMES. ONCE WHILE IDLING. ONCE WHILE SLOWING DOWN FROM 55 TO 35 AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PATTERN AND IT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR
