NHTSA Complaint #10578066 — 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA

JULY 2013 HAD HUB BEARINGS REPLACED IN ORDER FOR CAR TO PASS INSPECTION. ISSUE WITH "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" HAD NEVER OCCURRED THE PRIOR WINTERS -- CAR SLOWS DOWN, ENGINE SLOWS DOWN -- THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE HUB BEARINGS WERE REPLACED. ON MARCH 23, 2014, AFTER PAYING TOLLS ON THE TURNPIKE, THE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WARNING AGAIN APPEARED (NO SNOW, NOTHING TO TRIGGER THE WARNING) AND THEN MY CAR STOPPED, NO POWER...THE STEERING LOCKED...FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH AND SOMEHOW MADE IT TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. CAR HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER...COMPLETELY DEAD. WAITED ABOUT 1/2 HOUR AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART. CALLED GM 3/25 WHO CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME. DEALER NEVER CALLED ME (NOW 4/7/14). I HAVE PLACED ANOTHER CALL TO GM. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. ASKED GM IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND WAS TOLD NO. I HOPE OTHERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS WILL FILE COMPLAINTS SO THAT THEY WILL RECALL. HAD I BEEN IN A DIFFERENT LANE, I MAY HAVE HAD SOMEONE CRASH INTO ME AT 65 MPH AND I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ALIVE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. TOO DANGEROUS. *TR
