I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I WAS DOING 55 MPH,AND THE CAR STARTED TO HESITATE,AND THE DASHBOARD INFO READ STABILITRAC, ENGINE SAFTY MOD, AND REDUCED POWER. THEN THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN,AND WHEN I TRIED TO GIVE IT SOME GAS THE ENGINE STARTED TO KNOCK,AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOP. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF,AND OPENED THE HOOD, AND IT WASN'T EVEN OVER HEATING. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES I STARTED IT UP AND WENT ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED FEET AND IT DID IT AGAIN.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
MY SERVICE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT HAD BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR A YEAR AGO, I AM GOING TO SELL IT BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO SELL IT WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY BEING QUESTIONABLE. I DROVE IT TO AUTO NATION YESTERDAY JUNE 11TH TO SEE IF IT WAS A RECALL. THEY SAID THERE HASN'T BEEN ONE. I DROVE IT HOME AND STARTED SEARCHING ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH IT AND THERE WERE SO MANY POSTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I SEARCHED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I READ TO DO AND LOW AND BEHOLD ALL TYPES OF WIRES UNDER IT ARE COMPLETELY SEVERED AND TORN UP. I WAS GOING TO FIX THIS MYSELF BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE HELD LIABLE IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR INJURY. THIS MUST BE FIXED AND IT'S MY BELIEF THAT IT'S CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE DESIGN. PLEASE HOLD CHEVROLET RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR BOTH THE PASSENGER AND POSSIBLY EVERYONE ELSE IN THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LOOKING INTO THIS. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT WHEN A PERSON CALLS A DEALER TELLING THEN EXACTLY WHAT THEY FOUND D (I CALLED LENLYLE ON COLFAX AND SABLE IN AURORA, CO. AND EXPLAINED TO THEN MY FINDINGS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THEY SHOULD DIRECT A PERSON TO YOU GUYS WHEN SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY IS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY CONTACT YOU DOT AS WELL AS OFFER A REPAIR IMEDIATELY AND CONSIDER THEMSELVES LUCKY THAT SOMEONE WASN'T KILLED BECAUSE A PERSON CAME TO THEM WITH THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO THE REPAIR THEMSELVES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIRING ON MY PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR IS FAULTY! IT SOMETIMES DETECTS RANDOMLY THAT SOMEONES THERE, WHEN NOBODY IS THERE AND THUS TURNS THE AIRBAGS ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. I HAVE TO KEEP THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLED, OTHERWISE IT WILL MESS UP MY SENSORS. I'VE HAD MY AIRBAGS SHUT OFF AND A NOTIFICATION APPEAR BEFORE SO IT'S QUITE SCARY AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. I KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL, BUT I BELIEVE SINCE I HAVE A "POLICE PACKAGE" A RECALL FOR MY CAR WAS NEVER INITIATED, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A RECENT PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER HAS UNFOLDED A PROBLEM WITH A WIRING HARNESS THAT POWERS THE WINDOW. GM NEVER INSTALLED A FUSE ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER CAUSING THE WIRE TO HEAT UP AND BURN AWAY THE SLOT IT SITS IN ON THE WIRE HARNESS. INSPECTING MY WIRE HARNESS, THE HEAT FROM THE WIRE HAS MELTED ALMOST ENTIRELY THROUGH THE CONNECTOR WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND LIKELY TO CAUSE A FIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR UNDERNEATH THE CARPET AND FUSE PANEL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
2010 CHEVY IMPALA ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE ALREADY HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING ALL OF THE TIME AND NOW AFTER PUTTING NEW TIRES ON IT, I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND GET "SERVICE STABILITRACK," "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL," AND "ENGINE POWER REDUCED." I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO A TURNING LANE AND GET TO A PARKING LOT WITHOUT GETTING MYSELF KILLED. I STILL, HOWEVER, HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW I'M GETTING HOME FROM WORK! I HAD NOTICED WHEN I FIRST WENT OUT THAT IT SEEMED TO BE SHIFTING HARD, BUT THE ROADS WERE WET, SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS THE STABILITRACK KICKING IN, NOT GOING OUT! I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN, WHO THANKFULLY WERE NOT WITH ME. THE CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT. WITH SUCH LOW-MILEAGE, I FIGURED I WAS GOOD TO GO FOR AWHILE. I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE WITH ALMOST 200,000 MILES AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS MANY ISSUES OUT OF IT!! CONTACTED CHEVROLET, BUT AM TOLD NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE. WHY NOT?!?!

ENGINE
2ND AIR INJECTION CHECK & SHUT OFF VALVE HAS FAILED FOR THE 3RD TIME ON THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED A FRIEND OF MINE AT GM AND A GLOBAL TECHNICAL SPECIALIST IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS/HEAT SHIELDS/SAI DIVISION OF THE GENERAL MOTORS GLOBAL PROPULSION SYSTEMS STATED THAT THERE WAS A CORROSION DURABILITY CONCERN WITH THIS PART THAT RESULTED IN ELEVATED WARRANTY. THERE IS NOW A IMPROVED SERVICE PN AVAILABLE THAT REPLACES THE PN THAT HAVE BEEN USED IN MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD RECALL THESE BAD PARTS AND REFUND US FOR THEM. EACH TIME THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THE COST IS OVER $400 TO ME. MY FIRST REPLACEMENT PART WENT ON 1-30-13 AT 46737 MILES. THE 2ND REPLACEMENT PART WENT ON 7-8-14 AT 71368 MILES. NOW THE 3RD REPLACEMENT PART NEEDS TO GO ON AT 115429 MILES. THE 1ST REPLACEMENT PART COST ME $567 TO REPLACE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE 2ND REPLACEMENT PART COST ME $478 TO REPLACE AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. IT WILL COST ME THE SAME OR A LITTLE MORE TO GET THIS REPLACED FOR THE 3RD TIME. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME?
