NHTSA Complaint #10567053 — 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I WAS DRIVING ON I70 GOING 70 MPH AND OUT OF NOWHERE MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND 3 MESSAGES START APPEARING ON THE DASH. 1) SERVICE STABILTRAC, 2) SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, 3( ENGINE POWER REDUCING. MY CAR A 2011 CHEVY IMPALA SLOWS DOWN TO ABOUT 50. I GET IT GOING BACK TO 60 BUT NOT VERY EASILY. I KEEP GOING AND MERGE ONTO 465 (INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA AREA). I COME INTO SLOWER TRAFFIC WHERE I NEED TO STOP. I APPLY MY BREAKS AND THE PEDAL WILL NOT ENGAGE. ALMOST HIT A CAR. ALSO WHEN I SLOWED DOWN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING BAD. I CONTINUE A LITTLE FARTHER IN SLOW TRAFFIC AND HAD TO STOP AGAIN, SAME THING WITH THE BREAKS. SO I PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF I465. MY DAUGHTER HAD LOOKED UP THE ERROR MESSAGES ON THE INTERNET AND THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT ON THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ALL SAID THE SAME THING, AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT IT WAS FINE. I MADE IT HOME AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES SO FAR. ONCE AT A STOP SIGN AND THE SAME DAY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE AT WORK. ONCE AGAIN THAT SAME WEEK I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND TOOK OFF FROM A RED LIGHT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE ERROR MESSAGES AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT NOTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT TO GET IT FIXED, BUT AFTER READING SO MUCH ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM THERE HAS TO BE AN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE GET INJURED OR WORSE DIE FROM THIS ISSUE. *TR
