NHTSA Complaint #10458955 — 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA

MY IMPALA'S SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHTS CAME ON 05/07/12 AND I LOSS POWER TO MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT SERVICED, I WAS TOLD AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED IT THAT I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY SO I HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE COST OF $647.00 1 WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY CAR LOSS POWER AND SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY LUCKILY I WASN'T IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TRIED TO RESTART IT AND WHITE SMOKE CAME FROM THE TAILPIPE SO I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME AFTER LOOKING @ IT THAT NOW I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST ME $6200 I DIDN'T GET ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT I WAS HAVING ENGINE TROUBLE AND THEY CANT TELL ME WHY IT HAPPENED. I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED LIKE CLOCKWORK @ THE DEALERSHIP SPENDING GOOD MONEY FOR SUPPOSEDLY GOOD QUALITY SERVICE INSTEAD OF SOME RINKY DINK GARAGE BUT I GUESS THAT DIDN'T MATTER. THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, I HAVE 9100 MILES AND 3 CAR PAYMENTS LEFT. *TR
