NHTSA Complaint #10617125 — 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE SERVICE STABILITY PACK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME ON. THE CAR THEN JERKED, AND SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING, AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES LATER. THERE WERE NO WET NOR ROAD HAZARD CONDITIONS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. FURTHERMORE, I WAS DRIVING AT 60MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED IN MODERATE TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS PEDAL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THEN MY VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES. THIS ISSUES NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE IMPALA. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN INJURY OR FATALITY FOR A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. MOREOVER, ANY VEHICLE THAT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED BECAUSE OF AN ISSUES WITH THROTTLE BODY/GAS PEDAL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *JS
