NHTSA Complaint #10504799 — 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA

WE WERE ON THE TURNPIKE GOING ABOUT 60MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SERVICE LIGHT FOR TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNINGS CAME UP ON THE DASH. IT ALSO SAID REDUCING POWER TO ENGINE. THE CAR SLOWED IN SPEED AND BEGAN SHAKING. SERVICE THROTTLE CAME UP ON DASH ALSO. WE HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OFF. THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A BURM ON THIS INTERSTATE AND BEFORE WE COULD GET TO A PULL OFF AREA THE CAR SHUT DOWN IN THE ROAD. WE HAD TO SET THERE FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD RESTART SO THAT WE COULD GET TO A SAFER PLACE. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS ROAD WITH TRACTOR TRAILERS SWERVING AROUND ME CONSTANTLY. ALL I COULD DO WAS PRAY NO ONE WOULD HIT US. WE EVEN CONTACTED 911 FOR ASSISTANCE. SINCE THIS DAY WE HAVE HAD THE SAME CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS. I WILL NOT TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATES WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. THERE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE IS ANY ONE PARTICULAR THING THAT SETS THIS OFF. BUT SEEMS TO BE WORSENING. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. FROM THE CHEVY FORUMS ON THE IMPALA IT SEEMS THIS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR IMPALAS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WITH NO COST TO THE CONSUMER BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR
