NHTSA Complaint #10503083 — 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA

ON MARCH 14, 2013, WE WERE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE MESSAGE CONSOLE THAT READ "ENGINE POWER REDUCED." IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AT FIRST, BUT IT THEN RESPONDED AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE 'SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT STAYED ON. WE TOOK IT TO AN AUTOMOBILE PARTS STORE SO THEY COULD PULL THE CODE WITH A CODE READER. THE VEHICLE PARTS STORE WAS ABLE TO PULL A CODE READING P2138 WHICH IS FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. LATER ON THAT NIGHT, I WENT ONLINE AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF 2008 CHEVY IMPALAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IN THE PAST YEAR, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN MY 2008 CHEVY IMPALA TENDS TO BUCKLE AND JERK OR HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP MAKING DIFFICULT TO NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. IS THERE ANY WAY A RECALL CAN BE ISSUED FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND THE GAS PEDAL SO THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVE FOR ALL OWNERS OF 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALAS? PLEASE HELP. *TR
