NHTSA Complaint #10535842 — 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO TIGHTEN UP. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED THAT THE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED ON, THE RADIO STILL PLAYING, ALL LIGHTS ON - BUT THE CAR WAS NOT ON. THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. GIVING ME A CLICKING NOISE WITH NO ALERTS ON IN THE CAR. AFTER A FEW TRIES, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND I PARKED IT BACK AT HOME. THE SECOND TIME, THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 45 MINS AND WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT MY CAR TO START, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ONE MINUTE WITHOUT IT CUTTING OFF WHILE TURNING CORNER. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THE CAR STOPPED/SHUT DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. THE NEXT TIME I WAS ACTUALLY TAKING THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND I DROVE ABOUT 3 MINS BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AND TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND FOR MY CAR TO CONTINUOUSLY STOP WHILE DRIVING IS A HUGE PROBLEM!! I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH FOR IT NOT TO HAVE STOPPED ON A HIGHWAY OR ANYTHING, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!! MY CAR HAS STOPPED WHILE IN DRIVE 5 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS, WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, AND 3 TIMES WHILE SITTING IDLE. *TR
