NHTSA Complaint #10725134 — 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID ENGINE REDUCED POWER. THE CAR SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN AND NOT HAVE POWER. IF I CAME TO A STOP AND BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN, THE CAR BARELY ACCELERATED AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKED EVERY SINGLE TIME IT SHIFTED. I HAD EVERY CAR GOING AROUND ME DOWN THE BUSY STREET, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD BARELY GO. I WAS WORRIED I WOULDN'T EVEN MAKE IT HOME AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS ALONG WITH THE ENGINE AS IT JERKED ROUGHLY WITH EVERY GEAR CHANGE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT A WORSE TIME, AS I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR A FEW WEEKS AGO, HAVE MY FIRST CHILD ON THE WAY, AND JUST GOT A HOUSE. *TR
