2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

AFTER GETTING NEW BRAKES PUT ON MY CAR, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR DIFFERENT TIRES. IT WAS RANDOM AND AFTER CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE THEY WERE ALL FINE. THE LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME AND WHEN I CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURE ON THE DASH PANEL THEY ALL FOUR READ 0 TIRE PRESSURE. I HAVE TO CHECK THEM MANUALLY WHICH SOUNDS PETTY BUT I PAID FOR THIS OPTION I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT. MY REMOTE CAR STARTER DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS ON. I'VE HAD IT RESET AND IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. I WAD TOLD THE WHEEL SENSORS WERE BROKE WHEN GETTING THE BRAKES FIXED AND THAT THEY COST AROUND $100 EACH. THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY TO MAKE THESE SO THEY DON'T GET BROKEN WHILE GETTING NORMAL MAINTENANCE DONE SO I NOW HAVE A HUGE ADDITIONAL COST THAT FAR EXCEEDS THE COST OF GETTING THE BRAKES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA IN A 55 MPH ZONE, A SERIES OF WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE DASH: ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK, CHECK ENGINE. IMMEDIATELY THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND SPEED DECREASED TO ABOUT 10 MPH. *TR

2009 CHEVY IMPALA 3.5L FFV - MY "PASSENGER AIRBAG" LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY SINCE EARLY SPRING 2013. IN AUGUST 2013, MY "BRAKE" LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THERE DIDN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY HANDLING ISSUES. BOTH THE REGULAR BRAKES & PARKING BRAKE WORKED NORMALLY THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS FULL. FOR A FEW MONTHS THE "BRAKE" LIGHT WOULD COME ON SPORADICALLY & ALARM WHILE DRIVING, ALL WITHOUT ANY CHANGES IN DRIVING OR BRAKING ABILITY. AROUND SEPTEMBER 2013, THE "TRACTION CONTROL" & "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHTS CAME ON. AGAIN, THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE ANY ISSUE WITH HANDLING. THESE LIGHTS ALSO CAME ON & OFF RANDOMLY & THEY WERE SELDOM ALL ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. OCCASIONALLY, THE WARNING PANEL ALSO SAYS, "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" & ACCELERATION & POWER ARE DIMINISHED. THERE'S ALSO BEEN A "LOW PRESSURE LEFT REAR TIRE." THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS FOUND TO BE LOW, BUT THE REAR TIRE WAS OK. TONIGHT, THE "CHECK ENGINE" & "TRACTION CONTROL" LIGHTS CAME ON & THE DISPLAY SAID "ENGINE POWER REDUCED." SUDDENLY, IT SAID, "STARTING DISABLED SERVICE THROTTLE" & MY CAR ESSENTIALLY LOST ALL POWER. THE STEERING ALSO LOCKED UP. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD. I RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE, & THE "TRACTION CONTROL" LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON, BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WAS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN, WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. *TR

THE CAR THEN STOPPED ACCELERATING AND DROPPED TO 45 MPH IMMEDIATELY. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED WITH MY SON IN THE CAR.
