Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A HILLY/ CURVY AREA OF ROAD WHEN MY REDUCED ENGINE POWER, TRACTION CONTROL, AND THROTTLE BODY DISABLED MESSAGE POPPED UP. JUST THEN I HAVE NO POWER, NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING,AT ALL! I ALMOST CRASHED WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR! UPON LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE I FIND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN IMPALAS. SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WHILE PASSING CARS, OR THE FREEWAYS AND MORE. TO ME THIS IS QUITE A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE YOU HAVE NO POWER TO DO ANYTHING...NOTHING AT ALL. I DON'T SEE HOW THERE IS STILL NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY REPORTED PROBLEMS AND A HUGE SAFETY RISK!! *TR
