Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON. WARNINGS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER ARE DISPLAYED AND ALL BUT SHUTS MY CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING CARS TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND SWERVE BARELY MISSING ME. I GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF. THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON SAME MESSAGES AND WON'T GO NO WHERE. DO THE SAME THING AGAIN ONLY WAITING LONGER AND NO MESSAGES BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. I DRIVE HOME. NEXT DAY NO WARNINGS OR LIGHTS. COUPLE WEEKS GO BY DOES THE WHOLE WARNINGS AND LIGHTS AND SLOWS CAR DOWN AGAIN BUT DOESN'T COMPLETELY SHUT IT DOWN. I WAS IN REGULAR STREET TRAFFIC THIS TIME ABOUT 35MPH. AND NOW IT'S MORE FREQUENT SOMETIMES A COUPLE TIMES A DAY TO ONCE EVERY DAY OR TWO. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. I'M READING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON A LOT OF IMPALAS CAUSING MAJOR PROBLEMS AND WRECKS. *TR
