Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. A LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON SAYING ENGINE POWER REDUCED. AT THAT POINT MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO NEARLY 20 MPH WHILE I WAS STILL ON THE INTERSTATE IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF TO TRY TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. AT THAT POINT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AFTER GETTING MY VEHICLE TO START I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT HOME. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE INJURED MY WIFE AND I, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY OUR 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT ALONG WITH ANY ONE ELSE INVOLVED. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY DIFFERENT FORUMS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON THEIR CHEVROLET IMPALAS.
