I OWN A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. I STARTED MY CAR AND IT WAS SPUTTERING AND KNOCKING WHICH IT HAS NEVER DONE BEFORE. THE MESSAGE ON MY COMPUTER DISPLAY READ " REDUCED ENGINE POWER " AND " SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" I TURNED IT OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT AND THEN UPON RESTARTING EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE NOTICE THAT SAME MESSAGE PRIOR TO TODAY BUT ONLY BRIEFLY BUT UNTIL TODAY HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE SPUTTERING AND KNOCKING. THROUGH RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A DANGEROUS ONE TO HAVE WHILE DRIVING. IT SOUNDS LIKE A MUCH NEEDED RECALL IS IN ORDER BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP SERIOUSLY INJURED OR POSSIBLY DEAD. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY ALTERNATING "SERVICE STABILITRAK" "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGES. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHIFT HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE (APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES FROM START OF INCIDENT), THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A LOUD CLANGING NOISE. VEHICLE DELIVERED TO KOOL CHEVROLET IN GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN ON 11/4/14. THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE. THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE FOUND IS THAT THE COMPUTER INDICATES THE CODES WENT OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. OTHERWISE, THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THIS INCIDENT HAPPENING AGAIN. I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE SUDDEN REDUCTION IN SPEED IS A HAZARD AND COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AND THEN THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING AND THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT PANEL APPEARED TO SHUT DOWN.

IT WOULD START BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. *TR
