NHTSA Complaint #10538232 — 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA

ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE MY IMPALA SHUT ITSELF OFF. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN THE CAR SHOWED THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON THE INFORMATION PANEL, IT THEN FULLY DISENGAGED ALL ENGINE POWER AND POWERSTEERING. BEING IN THE OUTSIDE LANE I HAD TO MANEUVER MY IMPALA THROUGH THE HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS TRYING TO SQUEEZE TO THE SHOULDER. I THEN COASTED OFF INTO THE GRASS ALMOST INTO A LARGE DITCH BUT I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES HARD AND WENT INTO A SKID COMING TO A FULL STOP. I SCANNED THE CAR WITH MY OBD2 SCANNER, IT READ P0601. *JS
