Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE ALERT SIGNAL BEEPED AND MY CONSOLE SHOWED THE ERROR MESSAGE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, REDUCING ENGINE POWER" IT DROPPED MY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY DANGEROUSLY FAST TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. I THE FOOT PEDAL REPLACED AT A LOCAL DEALER, THEN IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES. THE LAST TIME I WAS ON A FRONTAGE ROAD AND MY CAR TURNED OFF. APPARENTLY THIS IS A SENSOR ISSUE THAT IS COMMON TO THE CHEVROLET MODELS AND ESPECIALLY THE IMPALA JUDGING BY THE FORUMS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS WHEN THE CAR TURNS ITSELF OFF THE POWER STEERING , LIGHTS, EVERYTHING GOES AND IT IS SUDDEN. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED THE ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON AND 3 SECONDS LATER THE CAR TURNED OFF.
