I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN LATE MARCH 2010. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. I HAD AT LEAST 3 INCIDENCES THAT I CAN REMEMBER, 1 OF WHICH WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. FRIGHTENED, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY HOME. THE OTHER INCIDENTS WERE ON MAIN ROADS IN TOWN. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. AFTER THE INTERSTATE ORDEAL, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO BEATY CHEVROLET IN KNOXVILLE, TN. THEY STATED THAT THE IGNITION WENT OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER GM OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. A RECALL DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE ISSUED SO NO MORE PEOPLE ARE PUT IN HARM'S WAY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ACCORDING TO AN OPERATOR NAMED [XXX] AT GM WHEN I CALLED A FEW MINUTES AGO TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE CURRENT RECALL REGARDING THE KEY/FOB TURNING ISSUE. SHE STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD NOT YET BEEN ISSUED REGARDING MY ISSUE AND THAT I NEEDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS KNOWN ISSUE IS BEING SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY THE BIG CORPORATION AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY. I DESERVE A FULL REFUND FOR "FAULTY" MANUFACTURED PARTS. LUCKILY, MY FAMILY NOR I WERE INJURED DURING THE LISTED INCIDENTS LISTED ABOVE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE POWER WINDOW KEEPS BREAKING. WE TAKE IT TO GET FIXED AND A MONTH OR TWO LATER IT BREAKS. THE LAST TIME IT WENT OUT MY WINDOW SHATTERED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITHOUT A DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND A PASSENGER WINDOW BEING HELD UP WITH PENCILS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR THESE WINDOWS TO BE FIXED EVERY MONTH. *TR

2007 CHEVY IMPALA WILL HAVE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THE WARNING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WILL COME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE, THE CAR SHAKES, AND IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. HAD THE GAS PEDAL AND THE EQUIVALENT PART IN THE ENGINE REPLACED (AT DIFFERENT TIMES) AND HAD THE CODES COME UP IN BETWEEN THE PARTS BEING REPLACED AND STILL NOW. TOOK IT INTO A CHEVY DEALER AND IT DOESN'T ACT UP FOR THEM. AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THEIR COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES. I CALLED GM AND HAVE A CASE OPENED TO GET HELP FROM THEM. IT'S EXTREMELY SCARY TO HAVE THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED WHILE DRIVING AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T MANEUVER OR ACCELERATE. *TR
