2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

MY IMPALA KEEPS GIVING ME A WARNING LIGHT THAT SAY SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. IT STAY ON FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN GOES OFF. CANNOT SEEM TO FIND OUT WHY IT IS DOING THIS BUT VERY CONCERNED THAT MY CARS SPEED WILL REDUCE WHILE I AM IN TRAFFIC. *TR

DRIVING ABOUT HALF MILE FROM HOME, SUDDENLY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCE ENGINE POWER MESSAGE TURN ON. CAR START TO LOSE POWER. AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 2 MILES, WENT TO A PARKING LOT. ENGINE BEGAN ROUGH. PARK THE CAR AND WENT SHOPPING. ABOUT 1 HR. LATER THE CAR START FINE AND RUNNING NORMAL, EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON . PARK CAR IN GARAGE. NEXT DAY, START THE CAR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL & REDUCE ENGINE POWER MESSAGE TURN ON. BACK IN/OUT GARAGE AND TURN ENGINE ON/OFF 3 TIMES. ENGINE IS VERY ROUGH. BACK TO GARAGE. NEXT DAY. START THE CAR, ENGINE RAN NORMAL WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON. DROVE THE CAR AROUND A CIRCLE AND BACK TO GARAGE. RUNS FINE. GOT INTO INTERNET AN FOUND ABOUT A LOT OF COMPLAINS(100S) ON THIS CAR (2010 & EARLIER CHEVY IMPALA) FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH REPORT OF DANGEROUS INCIDENCE ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM AFRAID TO USE IT AGAIN UNTIL IT IS FIXED. I HOPE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THE DEFECT. THIS CAR IS IN GARAGE, AND IS SELDOM USE BECAUSE I HAVE 3 CARS, AND I AM RETIRED. *TR

HAD TO PUT A NEW BATTERY IN AND THEN THE MESSAGE LIGHT CAME ON TO SERVICE THE AIR BAG....THEY SAID A MODULE WENT OUT UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT AND UNDER THE LEFT FRONT BUMPER.......IT WILL COST $ 1030 + TAX...ONLY 43,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I CANT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I'M TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG WONT WORK IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT TILL I GET IT FIXED.........WOULD THAT KEEP MY INSURANCE FROM PAYING IF I DO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEY SEE THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE BEEN SERVICED?? *TR

I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT APPROXIMATELY 2 YRS AGO, I BEGAN SEEING THE SEQUENCE OF MESSAGES, "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED," AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT. THE CAR SPEED WAS OBVIOUSLY REDUCED AND I COULDN'T REALLY ACCELERATE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO CARMAX AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, BUT SEEMINGLY ALWAYS ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE I'M TRAVELING AROUND 65--70 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RESEARCH WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM. I THINK THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHEVY I PURCHASE! *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON PA ROUTE 15. WE WERE ON SPEED CONTROL AT 55 MPH. AN ERROR SIGNAL APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD SAYING SERVICE TRAKCONTROL A FEW SECONDS LATER A SIGNAL SAID--- LOSING ENGINE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SOMEWHAT NARROW SHOULDER IN A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE DIED. I COULD NOT START THE CAR. A CALLED AAA AND AFTER 45 MINUTES WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE IN DILLSBURG. JUST BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR. THE MECHANIC TRIED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND COULD NOT. I DECIDED TO DRIVE ON TO MY DESTINATION IN. NJ THE ERROR SIGNALS APPEARED ONCE MORE BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A SERVICE STATION AND SIT. I RESTARTED CAR AND DROVE TO MY DESTINATION. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO "RT 46 CHEVROLET"IN NJ THREE DAYS LATER A NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS INSTALLED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY HOME IN NY STATE.. IT WAS VERY SCARY TO LOSE POWER ON A HWY AT 55 MPH AND I WONDER ABOUT TRUSTING THE CAR!!!!! *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME IN, THEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON, THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. WAITED CAR POWERED BACK ON. A KNOWN ISSUE IN THIS MODEL. *TR

EVERY OTHER WEEK OR SO I GET THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED/ SERVICE STABILTRACK/ SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER. AFTER AN HOUR OR SO OF SITTING WITH THE CAR OFF, IT RESETS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL THAT EVENTUALLY ALSO RESETS. TODAY I WAS DRIVING THE SAME TROUBLE CODES CAME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, THE POWER STEERING WAS DISENGAGED IT ALSO MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY THIS TIME. LUCKILY I PULLED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND THE CAR RESET AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. THIS WARNING LIGHT AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE BUT I NEVER LOST COMPLETE POWER TO THE ENGINE AND STEERING LIGHT UNTIL TODAY. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ISSUE THAT IS ONGOING WITH MANY GM OWNERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY! *TR
