NHTSA Complaint #10537180 — 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY STREET LOOKING FOR A RESTAURANT AND MY CAR MADE THREE DINGING SOUNDS INDICATING A ISSUE. BEFORE I EVEN COULD READ WHAT WAS DISPLAYING ON MY INFORMATION PANEL THE CAR LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND ENGINE POWER. BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 55MPH I COULD VERY LUCKILY COAST TO A PARKING LOT NEAR BY. AFTER COASTING TO A PARKING SPOT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND READ THE INFORMATION PANEL, IT READ REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND SERVICE THROTTLE BODY. BECAUSE I KNOW MOST AMERICAN MADE CARS ARE PURE GARBAGE I WONT DRIVE ONE WITHOUT A EBDII SCANNER. AFTER READING THE EBDII SCANNER IT SHOWED A P0601 CODE, WHICH INDICATES A PCM MEMORY ISSUE. AFTER CLEARING THE CODE IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AND DROVE FOR ABOUT 10 MORE MINUTES UNTIL I WAS AT A PARKING LOT ON A STEEP GRADE. THE 3 DINGS HAPPENED AGAIN AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING ME TO ROLL BACKWARDS ABOUT 10 FEET ALMOST INTO OVER VEHICLES. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND HAVE COME TO FOUND THAT THIS IS A ENGINEERING FAULT CAUSED BY TO MUCH CURRENT FLOWING INTO THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, WHICH CREATES A SMALL HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE PCM ONBOARD COMPUTER, WITH WHICH MANY MANY OTHER GM PRODUCTS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ON ALL GM PRODUCTS AFFECTED BY THIS, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL COULD LEAD TO DEATHS. I AM A [XXX] MALE WHO COULD CONTROL THE VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING, IMAGINE A STUDENT DRIVER ENCOUNTERING THIS ISSUE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM OTHER DRIVERS OR EVEN INNOCENT PEDESTRIANS! I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER GM VEHICLE OWNERS SO DOES A BODY COUNT HAVE TO STACK UP BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED BY GM?? *TR
