NHTSA Complaint #10586118 — 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON THEN I LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AT A SPEED OF 70MPH. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND HAD COMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN CAUSING ME TO LOSE ALL POWER ALMOST REAR ENDED AND TRYING TO MAKE MY WAY OVER CUTTING IN FRONT OF CARS SO THAT I WOULD NOT BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPRESSWAY WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. WAS ABLE TO MAKE OVER TO THE MEDIAN AND THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE. SO THEN I WAITED THERE FOR 20 MIN UNTIL MY FRIEND ARRIVED TO HELP ME AND THE CAR CRANKED UP AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. SO I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND WITHIN 45 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAITED A FEW MINS AND IT CRANKED UP. ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE. I DON'T MAKE MUCH MONEY AND DON'T HAVE IT TO TAKE TO A MECHANIC AND ITS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS A RECALL. I HAVE SEEN AND READ THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER CARS IM WONDERING IF THEY MISSED A YEAR OR SOMETHING. *TR
