VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
LAST NIGHT, I STARTED UP MY CAR AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER PRETTY HARD. MY CAR STARTED CHIMING AND A SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SHOWED UP ON MY DASH, FOLLOWED BY AN ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THE LIGHT INDICATOR FOR MY TC WAS LIT. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED 2 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING. IT STARTED FINE, WITH NO BAD INDICATIONS. THE CAR ALSO DROVE NORMALLY. A FEW HOURS LATER AS I WAS STARTING HOME, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. MY CAR WAS STILL PARKED AS BEFORE WHEN THE INDICATIONS SHOWED UP. SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT CLEARED OUT. NO PROBLEM ONCE I STARTED DRIVING. THIS MORNING WAS NO DIFFERENT. SO FAR, THIS ONLY HAS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STARTING MY CAR UP. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT THIS HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION- YET. OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM HAVEN'T BEEN SO FORTUNATE. THERE HAS BEEN NO BAD WEATHER AT ALL. DRY AS A BONE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2010 KNOWING IT USED TO BE A RENTAL. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL NOW. I TOOK MY CAR INTO MY CHEVY DEALERSHIP, WHO THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. THEY ARE ORDERING THE PART IN, BUT I'M STILL SKEPTICAL IF THAT IS REALLY WHAT IS CAUSING IT. I HAVE HEARD THE SENSOR ON THE HUB ASSEMBLY COULD CAUSE THIS, AS WELL AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR. FROM READING MULTIPLE FORUMS, MANY OWNERS HAVE HAD SCARY EXPERIENCES WITH THE CAR DECELERATING ON FREEWAYS OR OTHER DANGEROUS PLACES THAT COULD RESULT IN WRECKS AND PERSONAL HARM. THEY HAD TAKEN THEIR CARS IN MULTIPLE TIMES AND SHELLED OUT THOUSANDS TRYING TO FIX THIS PHANTOM GHOST PROBLEM. FRANKLY I AM AMAZED THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS. I AM MOVING TO CA, AND I'M DRIVING THERE BY MYSELF IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. I CAN'T HAVE MY CAR TRY TO DO ME IN RIGHT NOW, NOR DO I HAVE ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF CASH TO FIX A MECH'S GUESS. WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WAS DRIVING ON BUSY ONE LANE ROAD, REDUCED SPEED, CHECK TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 45 AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER, WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF ROAD AND SHUT CAR OFF STARTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER NO INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. WENT TO INTERNET TO CHECK PROBLEM SEEMS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN 100,000 S OF THESE PROBLEMS MANY RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. IT DOES NOT SHOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A FREEWAY WITH TRUCKS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHAT HAS THE VEHICLE SAFETY BOARD DONE TO PROTECT OWNERS OF FAULTY VEHICLES? *TR

ENGINE
THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, THEN YOU GET A MESSAGE SAYING THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THEN YOU GET A MESSAGE SAYING THE CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT NOW IT'S A LOT MORE FREQUENT. THIS SATURDAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 ON A THREE LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER/BREAK DOWN LANE. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING UP A HILL. CARS WERE FLYING UP BEHIND ME AND SWERVING TO MISS ME. NORMALLY IT TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND YOU CAN RESTART THE CAR. THIS TIME IT WAS ALMOST 10 MINUTES. I HAD A PANIC ATTACK SITTING THERE. ONCE THE CAR FINALLY STARTED I DROVE ABOUT 50 FEET AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. LUCKILY THERE WAS A DUNKIN DONUTS THERE AND I COASTED INTO THE PARKING LOT. I SAT THERE ABOUT 20 MINUTES SO I COULD CATCH MY BREATH, STOP CRYING AND COMPOSED MYSELF. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THEY SAID IT WAS MY GAS PEDAL, AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $164. HOWEVER WHEN YOU RESEARCH THIS ON THE WEB, YOU WILL SEE MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE GAS PEDAL FIXED IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THERE SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND PERHAPS GET KILLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OUR 2008 IMPALA LS, WITH 100,000 MILES, IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM SEEING AT THIS WEB SITE AND ALL ACROSS THE INTERNET. LAST MONTH, MAY, 2014, AND THIS MONTH, JUNE, 2014, THERE WAS A SUDDEN REDUCED POWER ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO NO MORE THAN 35 MPH. BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO ADVANCE TO HAVE THEM CHECK TO SEE IF ANY CODES HAD BEEN DROPPED BY THE COMPUTER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THERE WAS NO REDUCED POWER MESSAGE EITHER, AND THE SPEED RETURNED TO NORMAL. I WAS TOLD TO TRY FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER, WHICH I DID. ALL WENT WELL FOR ALMOST A MONTH, WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MONTH. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO ADVANCE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. THE COMPUTER HAD DROPPED 2 CODES, BOTH RELATED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. ADVANCE DID NOT HAVE THE PART, NOR DID AUTOZONE. FORTUNATELY, NAPA DID, FOR $90, INCLUDING TAX. OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WANTED $50 MORE. SINCE IT IS A VERY EASY PART TO REPLACE EVEN FOR AN AMATEUR LIKE ME, I REPLACED IT. THERE ARE ONLY 2 10 MM BOLTS TO REMOVE AND AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO UNPLUG. SO IT WAS PRETTY SIMPLE, AND SO FAR, THIS HAS DONE THE TRICK, BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN 24 HOURS. THIS APPARENTLY IS A JOB THAT THE DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGE $300 TO $400 TO DO. AS I SAID, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FOR GM, AND THEY HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT, SO FAR, DO A RECALL. THEY SHOULD. I'M ONLY OUT $90 SO FAR, BUT OTHER PEOPLE ARE OUT MUCH MORE. IF I HAVE THE DREADED, FOLLOW-UP PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, I WILL BE OUT A WHOLE LOT MORE. I SENT AN E-MAIL TO CHEVROLET AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE, AND DID GET A RESPONSE BACK. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTION UNLESS THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I WILL BE CONTACTING HIM AGAIN NOW ABOUT THIS LATEST INCIDENT. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WILL COME ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, AND THEY FLICKER ON AND OFF, AND CAUSE THE CAR TO JERK, THE LOCKS TO RELOCK, MY FUEL GAUGE TO GO OUT OF PLACE, AND SOMETIMES CAUSE THE CAR TO TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO AN ACTUAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THEY TRIED AND NO PROBLEMS WERE DIAGNOSED WHEN THEY USED THE SCAN TOOL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY TRANSMISSION; OTHERS SAY THAT IT IS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL; WHILE OTHERS SAY THAT A WIRE IS NOT CONNECTING OR IS TOUCHING SOMETHING. ONE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS HAPPEN IN ALL 2007-2012 IMPALA ONCE THEY HIT A CERTAIN MILES. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE BOLT/CLIP TO THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT BELT CLIP TO THE B-PILLAR FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE APPLIED. THE SAME HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO. AFTER BOTH TIMES, I HAD TO SCREW AND TIGHTEN THE BOLT/SCREW TO REATTACH THE SEAT BELT CLIP TO THE B-PILLAR. SEAT BELTS ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY COMPONENTS OF A VEHICLE. FAILURE OF THE B-PILLAR CLIP/SUPPORT OF A SEAT BELT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC INJURIES, WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTABLE SHOULD THE SEAT BELT HAVE FUNCTIONED PROPERTY AS INTENDED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MESSAGE REDUCED ENGINE POWER APPEARED AND MY SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO 30 MPH. IT WAS RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I PANICKED. I TRIED PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN BUT MY SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE. THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST PLOWED INTO THE REAR END OF MY CAR BUT LUCKILY THERE WAS SPACE IN THE LANE TO THE RIGHT FOR THAT CAR TO QUICKLY MOVE OVER TO AVOID HITTING ME. THEY HONKED AND I MANEUVERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK. I RESTARTED MY CAR ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AND GOT OFF THE NEXT EXIT SO I COULD TAKE SIDE STREETS HOME SINCE I WAS FRIGHTENED MY CAR WOULD AGAIN SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. I DROVE TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD THE CODE RAN AND IT WAS FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I CAME ACROSS THE EDMUNDS FORUM WHERE HUNDREDS OF GM OWNERS HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ! GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THESE INFERIOR THROTTLE BODY PARTS BUT I GUESS UNTIL THERE ARE FATALITIES IT WILL GO IGNORED ??? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVY IMPALAS, HOWEVER GM REFUSES TO DO A RECALL. SOMEONE WILL DIE AGAIN AT THEIR HANDS. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, ALL OF A SUDDEN A "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" MESSAGE POPS UP, THEN "REDUCED ENGINE POWER", THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER AND THE SPEED IS CUT ALMOST IN HALF VERY ABRUPTLY. ONE TIME, THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST ALL ELECTRICAL AND POWER WHILE TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS STUCK WITH NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES, ETC AND HAD TO NAVIGATE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF. I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE MANY FORUMS THAT ARE POPPING UP WITH OTHER OWNERS DESCRIBING THEIR FIXES. TURNS OUT IT IS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE REPLACED IT MYSELF AND THE CAR IS NOW RUNNING FINE. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH CHEVROLET PLAYING WITH MY SAFETY AND MY LIFE BY NOT RECALLING THIS PART. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER.... PEOPLE WILL DIE, I ALMOST DID. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT WAS ON (05-29-2014CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM, AND REDUCED POWER LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR TOOK OFF WITH A JERK. HAD CAR SCANNED FOR CODES. CAME BACK AS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. HAD THAT CHANGED TODAY(06-06-2014) AND CODE CLEARED OUT. WAS DOING GREAT UNILL THIS EVENING WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME TONIGHT ,(06-06-2014),ON HIGHWAY DOING 56 M.P.H. AND CAR SHUT OFF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I QUICKLY VEERED OFF INTO MEDIAN AND TURNED FLASHERS ON. THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME. CAR WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES IT STARTED WITH ONLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACT AS QUICKLY AS I DID. OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUES BASED ON THE INVESTIGATIONS ON HERE. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED ON MANY GM FORUM POSTS WITH MANY REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. GM BASICALLY APOLOGIZES IN THE FORUMS AND TELLS THEM TO TAKE IT UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
