Consumer Description

I HAD JUST STARTED MY 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA LTZ AND WAS LEAVING WHEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING CAME ON AND ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED WARNING CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO JERK AS IT SHIFTED GEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, IT OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED AND ON THE WEEKEND. I'M HOPING TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED ON MONDAY AS THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I'M 8 WEEKS FROM GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE!! IT WOULD SUCK IF I HAVE SPEND ALL THIS TIME AND MONEY IN GETTING MY EDUCATION ONLY TO FAIL DUE TO A VEHICLE BREAKDOWN THAT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS VERY MAKE AND MODEL. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR IMPALA. IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A LOSS OF LIFE OR INJURY, FIRE OR CRASH TO MAKE THE MANUFACTURER PLACE A RECALL ON THE FAULTY PART THAT IS CAUSING THIS. *TR
