| 2009 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING (WITH MY THREE KIDS AS PASSENGERS) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED IN THE DASHBOARD "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LAST POWER AND THE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO LESS THAN 30 MPH, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. SHE WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER AND CALL ME FOR ASSISTANCE. BY THE TIME I GOT THERE AND STARTED THE ENGINE IT WAS RUNNING NORMALLY EXCEPT FOR THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WAS LIT. I TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHO IMMEDIATELY STATED IT WAS A FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND WOULD COST $580 TO REPLACE. I SEARCHED ON-LINE AND FOUND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE FOR 2008-2012 MODEL IMPALAS'. THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM SO THE CUSTOMERS ARE GETTING CHARGED TO FIX THIS FAULTY CHEVROLET DEVICE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THEY DO NOT RECALL THIS DEVICE. *TR |
| 2010 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | THE 2010 IMPALA WAS AT HWY SPEEDS AT APPROX 65MPH. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE DISPLAY WAS FLASHING TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE. THE LIGHTS STAYED ON. IT ALSO SAID ENGINE AT REDUCED SPEEDS . THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILED AT HWY SPEEDS WHICH LEFT ME COASTING TO REDUCED SPEEDS AND THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF AT 20 MPH WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A PARKING LOT OFF THE SERVICE ROAD. *TR |
