Consumer Description

I OWN A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA WHICH HAS BEEN HAVING COMPUTER PROBLEMS FOR 1 YR NOW. IT READS OUT REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND THE CAR WONT GO FASTER THAN 40 MPH. IVE HAD IT FIXED BUT THEN COMES RIGHT BACK UP, ONE MECHANIC SAYS TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE AND ANOTHER SAYS ITS SENSORS. THIS IS BECOMING QUITE A PROBLEM AND NOBODY CAN FIX IT PERMANENTLY. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I TRANSPORT GRANDCHILDREN AROUND AND THE CAR LOOSES POWER OUT OF NOWHERE,THEN JUST SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I CANT KEEP PAYING ALL THIS MONEY FOR IT TO JUST HAPPEN OVER AND OVER WITH NO RESULTS. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST? I WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME? I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR THIS WHEN ITS NEVER ACTUALLY BEEN FIXED. I HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED BUT I DO WHEN I HAVE TO PAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND ITS STILL NOT FIXED. *TR
