I BOUGHT A 2009 CHEVY IMPALA WITH 35K MILES ON AND NOT EVEN A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL ON ACCELERATION AND SOMETIMES ON BRAKING... I SEE WITH ALL THE INTERNET COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAT GM SEEMS TO BE PUTTING OFF.. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING AS EVERY OTHER COMPLAINT TAKE TO DEALER AND SPEND OVER $100 JUST TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THE DEALERS SAY THE SAME 3 THINGS AS ALL OTHER COMPLAINTS IT COULD BE THREE THINGS.. GAS PEDAL SENSOR, BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR, OR THE SENSOR ON THE HUB ASSEMBLY... HMMMMMMMMMMM GM HELP... PS AFTER I GOT MAD ON PHONE GM AGREED TO PAY A MERE $90 OF THE BILL WHICH IS GONNA COST OVER $300 TO FIX.... *TR

I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR MAINTENANCE AND FOR A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES VIBRATING AND GRINDING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SIX TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED GM TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, THEY AUTHORIZED SERVICES. THEY ARE LOOKING IN TO IT NOW. I DO NOT FEELS SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING ON MOUNTAINS. I AM CONCERNED WHEN THE BRAKES GET HOT, THEY WILL NOT WORK. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND AVOID CERTAIN AREAS BECAUSE OF THE BRAKES. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GM PRODUCTS. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM FROM THE FACTORY AND THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GM FOR NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. UPDATED 06/08/11 *BF
