NHTSA Complaint #10496515 — 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I OWN A 2010 IMPALA WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE A WIRING PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN I GOOGLE THE PROBLEM TO TRY AND FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG IT SEEMS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE IMPALA. THE PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF, IT JUST DIES RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FIRST THE TRACTION LIGHT WILL COME ON A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN YOUR CAR WILL SAY SOMETHING LIKE SHUTTING DOWN, THEN IT WILL JUST TURN OFF. THIS IS VERY SCARY. IF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ISN'T IT A MATTER THAT CHEVY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL? I CAN'T IMAGINE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO MOST CARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A FEATURE THAT SHUTS DOWN THE POWER IF THE CAR THINGS IT IS LOSING CONTROL OF THE TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM IS, THE TIRES ARE FINE BUT THE SENSOR IS MESSED UP. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME ISSUE. IT CAN'T BE SAFE TO HAVE CARS JUST SHUT DOWN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ALMOST HIT! MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR. I WAS BARLEY IN THE SHOULDER AS IT SHUT DOWN RIGHT AS I WAS PULLING ONTO IT. *TR
