2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

HAD ISSUES WITH MY 2007 IMPALA 3.9L STALLING AND REDUCING POWER ON MY WIFE, AND AT TIMES ALMOST LEAVING HER IN OR ON THE ROAD. I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, THROTTLE PEDDLE ( TWICE ) AND HAD THE CAR FLASHED AT THE LOCAL GM DEALER. NOW THE CAR NOT ONLY READS REDUCED ENGINE POWER IT READ STARTING DISABLED SERVICE THROTTLE AND DIED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR.. CAUSING HER TO ALMOST BE INVOLVED IN A BAD WRECK. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO HAVE ATTENTION OF WHOEVER AT GM IS OVER SAFETY, CAUSE THIS ISSUE WILL END UP IN A REALLY BAD SITUATION IF OR WHEN SOMEONE ENDS UP SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. I MEAN YOU REALLY NEED TO PROGRAM THEM TO SLOWLY REDUCE POWER, NOT JUST TELL YOU THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND HAVE THE DRIVER FIGHT AND PANIC TO GET OFF THE ROAD THROUGH TRAFFIC, WHILE NOT GETTING RUN OVER IN THE PROCESS. BUT IF THERE IS A FIX WE NEED TO KNOW.

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING OVER 40MPH. THE DRIVER SWERVED TO MISS A DOG IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE ROLLED AND LANDED ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED AND THE DRIVER WAS SEEN AT THE ER FOR CERVICAL AND LEFT SIDED PAIN.

THE WIRING UNDER THE GEAR SHIFTER BROKE CAUSING THE IGNITION CYLINDER TO NOT TURN OFF SO YOU CAN'T REMOVE THE KEY WITCH IN TURN MADE THE CAR GO INTO THEFT MODE NOW IT WON'T START THE WINDOWS WON'T ROLL UP THE DASH LIGHTS WORK AND THE HORN BUT NOTHIN ELSE WORKS THE TRUNK WON'T OPEN IT WAS PARKED AT THE HOSPITAL

DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO A DEEP DITCH HITTING A TREE STOPPING IT COMPLETELY AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WAS CATAPULTED INTO THE AIR AND RETURNED TO THE GROUND QUICKLY AFTER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION HEADED FOR A TEE INTERSECTION WHERE THE DITCH WAS LOCATED ACROSS THE TEE INTERSECTION.

COOLANT CROSSOVER PIPE GASKETS ROTTED AWAY AND HEAT QUIT WORKING LEAVING MY WIFE AND KIDS TO FREEZE IN THE WINTER.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 CHEVY IMPALA IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT 25 MPH, AND WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE BADLY WITH THE CODE "ENGINE LOSING POWER." LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF. BEING 68 YEARS OLD, I GOT EXTREMELY SCARED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TRIED CALLING 2 OF MY CHILDREN TO HELP ME. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET EITHER ONE OF THEM. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, AND PROCEEDED BACK HOME WHICH WAS ONLY ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM MY HOUSE. I CALLED THE PREVIOUS OWNER, AND SHE STATED THAT HAD HAPPENED TO HER ABOUT 6 MONTHS PRIOR. NOW I AM TERRIFIED TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD BEEN GARAGED KEPT. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME REGARDING WHY THIS MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
