Consumer Description
MY CAR'S ENGINE POWER WAS SEVERELY REDUCED SUDDENLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 275 NORTH IN TAMPA, FL. A MESSAGE SHOWED ON THE DASH: " REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS HAPPENED TODAY AROUND 7 PM ON OCT 30, 2016. MY CAR IS A CHEVY IMPALA 2009. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF MESSAGES ABOUT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER ON MANY MODELS OF GM CARS INCLUDING IMPALA, MALIBU, TRAILBLAZER, SILVERADO. THIS WORRIES ME VERY MUCH AS SO MANY SAME ERROR MESSAGES AND ENGINE PROBLEMS HAPPENED ON SO MANY GM CARS. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM YET. SO THIS IRRESPONSIBILITY OF GM ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE PUT THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DRIVERS IN DANGER. I HOPE NHTSA LOOKS INTO THIS PROBLEM AND PRESSURE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL IF POSSIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. THANK YOU! *TR
