Consumer Description

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2009 CHEVY IMPALA, IT STARTED AT 43K, THE ACCELERATION PEDAL WAS CHANGED WHEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON. THEN AGAIN AT 100K SAME PROBLEM, THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I CHANGED IT, BUT IT CAME BACK AGAIN LESS THEN 3K MILES. I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AGAIN. 3K LATER SAME THING. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN IT IS RAINING THE THROTTLE SENSORS GO NUTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO ADVANCE AUTO AND READ THE CODES, SAME AS BEFORE, P0121, P2176, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. ONCE IN A WHILE YOU CAN REMOVE THE BATTER LINES AND UNPLUG THE THROTTLE BODY AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR TO GET IT TO RESTART. OTHER TIMES YOU HAVE TO GO TO ADVANCE OR AUTOZONE TO CLEAR THE CODES IN ORDER TO GET IT TO RUN LONG ENOUGH FOR A SUNNY DAY. I HAD ONE OCCURRENCE WERE THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND IT SAID SERVICE THROTTLE POSITION. THE THROTTLE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILLED. I HAVE RENAMED MY CAR TO THE FORD IMPALA. FOUND ON THE ROAD DEAD IMPALA. *TR
