NHTSA Complaint #10683129 — 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA

ON MY DISPLAY I HAVE SEEN DAILY (SERVICE TRACTION ACTION) AND (ENGINE POWER REDUCED) ALONG WITH (SERVICE AIRBAG) FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, DID NOT SERVICE DUE TO COST AND IT IS NOT MY FAULT! MY CAR USUALLY SLOWS DOWN ONCE THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED DISPLAYS CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK DUE TO ME TRYING TO GIVE IT MORE GAS SO AS NOT TO BE HIT FROM THE BACK. AS MY GRANDCHILDREN AND I WERE HEADED HOME ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR DECIDED TO JUST SHUT OFF. ON THE DISPLAY IT READ FIRST.. SERVICE TRACTION ACTION AND THEN STARTING DISABLED SERVICE THROTTLE. MY CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND I BEGAN TO PRAY HOPING I WOULD NOT GET HIT FROM THE BACK WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN SITTING IN THE BACK. ONCE I PULLED OVER MY CAR WOULD NOT START I SAT FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND TRIED TO START AGAIN AND IT STARTED. JUST TODAY 01/12/2015, WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE BACK OF MY CAR AGAIN MY CAR DECIDED TO LOOSE POWER AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT DID SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT, IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO FIRST REVERSE AND THEN IT ALLOWED ME TO BUT SOON AFTER I COULD NOT GO FORWARD. THE GAS PEDDLE ACTED AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF BUT THE CAR WAS RUNNING. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE I PRESSED IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, NOTHING HAPPENED. I ENDED UP CALLING A TOWING SERVICE AND AFTER TELLING THEM WHAT HAPPENED I WAS TOLD MY ISSUES STEMMED FROM A ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE THAT CHEVY HAD RECALLED. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE FOR SO MANY OF US TO GO THROUGH THE SAME ISSUES BUT NOTHING BE DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE QUICKLY!! *TR
