Consumer Description

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE THE SNOW AND ICE CAME AND THEN ON MY WAY TO WORK WITH NO WARNING WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. I SLID RIGHT THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH NO WARNING. THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AT ALL IN THE SNOW AND ICE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THE CARS WERE SPACED OUT, THAT KEPT ME FROM A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE,MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR. MY QUESTION IS WHY HAVE THEY NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE 2004 CHEVY IMPALA BEFORE IT KILLS OR SERIOUSLY INJURES OTHER PEOPLE. *TR
