NHTSA Complaint #10701413 — 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA

AS I WAS DRIVING, I GOT A NOTIFICATION ON MY DASHBOARD THAT READ "ENGINE POWER REDUCED SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL". I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO MY DESTINATION OR SOMEWHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. AS I DROVE, THE POWER TO MY VEHICLE HAD REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY. DURING THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYED ON. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO, THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE CAR BEGIN TO OPERATE WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER THE DAY OF THE INITIAL INCIDENT, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR 2 MORE TIMES ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2011 AND I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS SO I AM NOT SURE WHERE OR WHY THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING BUT I AM DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM MY GLOVEBOX AS WELL AS THE AIRBAGS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IS THERE A RECALL THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF THAT AFFECTS THESE ISSUES? IF NOT, WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. I AM A PROUD CHEVY OWNER AND WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN LOYAL TO CHEVY HOWEVER IF I AM NOT ABLE TO GET SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION FOR THESE PROBLEMS, I MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT GOING TO A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. *TR
