NHTSA Complaint #11093977 — 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY IMPALA, 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL, A REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH, BEING AS WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY TO SUDDENLY ONLY BEING ABLE TO GO 20MPH WAS VERY FRIGHTENING!! I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. AFTER SEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE I FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS SAME CAR. I FIND IT STRANGE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS DUE TO IT BEING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER CALLING A CHEVY DEALER, THEY TOLD ME ALL THEY COULD DO IS HOOK IT UP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS BUT IT WOULD COST 175.00 JUST TO DO THAT. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL PARKED AND WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE IT AND STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT AGAIN FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND US MAYBE NOT BEING AS LUCKY NEXT TIME!!!! SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. SIMPLY TYPE IN 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE!!!!
