ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING AND MY CARS ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 1ST THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. WHEN THEY CAME ON IT REDUCED POWER TO MY ENGINE AND QUIT ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD LOOKED UP POSSIBLE CAUSES WHEN I HAD A TEST RAN IT WAS SHOWING THROTTLE BODY I REPLACED IT AND IT NEVER FIXED IT UPON RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO OWNS IMPALAS FROM THE YEARS 2009 AND UP HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND FEEL IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. WHAT I HAVE FOUND IDK YET I AM WAITING ON THE PIECE TO SEE IF THIS IS THE ISSUE OR NOT IS THE PEDAL SENSOR COULD BE THE CAUSE. BUT I FEEL IT CAN BE UNSAFE BECAUSE MY CAR HAD QUIT ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WITH CARS TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF 65MPH AND HIGHER. JUST WHEN I WAS LOOKING IT UP I HAD SAW SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR IMPALAS. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT THANK YOU .\ *TR
