| 2010 | TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM | 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 |
| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER CLUSTER MALFUNCTION - A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ACTING ERRATIC, SO I TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $90 BUCKS TO CHECK THE SPEEDOMETER, KNOWING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I CHOSE NOT TO PAY AND I BASED MY SPEED OFF OF MY TACH. WHICH WAS A ROUGH ESTIMATE. WELL TODAY, MY TACH. GOES HAYWIRE, SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME? HMMMM.. I HAVE A SPEEDOMETER THAT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, NOW I HAVE A TACHOMETER THAT STARTS ON 4000 RPM. AND OF COURSE GOES WAY PAST 7000 RPM. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY CHEVROLET $90 TO CHECK MY SPEEDOMETER FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT IT'S NOT WORKING, THEN PAY AN ADDITIONAL $300 FOR THE CLUSTER, WHICH MAY NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE? THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL!! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? LOSS OF LIFE? *NM |
