Consumer Description

2003 CHEVY IMPALA 3.8 ENGINE. I HAVE HAD RECURRING, INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL KICKING IN WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP IN DRY WEATHER AND DRY ROAD CONDITIONS. NOT AN APPROPRIATE TIME FOR IT TO KICK IN. THEN IT RELEASES. I HAVE HAD THE MECHANIC LOOK AT IT SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING BECAUSE THE COMPUTER DOESN'T FLASH A CODE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE CAR WILL BE UNSAFE IF THE TRACTION CONTROL OPERATES AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES. *TR
