MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, ALL OF THE SUDDEN THESE MESSAGES STARTED TO APPEAR ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED, SOMETHING ABOUT TRACTION CONTROL AND ANOTHER MESSAGE THAT I CAN NOT REMEMBER. THE CAR THEN LOST ALL POWER, IT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. WE DID MAKE IT OVER TO THE "SLOW" LANE, BUT THERE WE SAT ON THE INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC ALL AROUND US. THE CAR WOULD NOT START!!! NEED LESS TO MY GIRLS AND MY SELF WERE TERRIFIED THAT WE WOULD BE HIT. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES THE CAR DID START AGAIN AND WE MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION. THE MESSAGES ARE NOT DISPLAYING NOW, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL. I AM TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TODAY. WHAT WILL IT TAKE BEFORE GM DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?????? *TR

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT THE ACTUATORS TO THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATING UNIT START CLICKING AND MAKING A LOUD NOISE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WILL STOP. I WENT AND HAD IT CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 500 AND 600 DOLLARS TO FIX. IN ANY EVENT I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO OWN IMPALAS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MY SISTER WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. SHE HAD TO TAKE HER CAR BACK TWICE BEFORE IT WAS REPAIRED CORRECTLY. APPARENTLY THE COMPUTER CHIP IN THESE CARS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE CLICKING NOISE HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING IN THE GARAGE AND IT IS STORMING OUTSIDE. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM WITHOUT ANY OUT OF POCKET MONEY FROM THE CONSUMER. AFTER ALL THE TAXPAYERS DID BAIL YOU OUT. *TR
