Example complaints

“Had issues with my 2007 Impala 3.9l stalling and reducing power on my wife, and at times almost leaving her in or on the road. I have replaced the throttle body, throttle peddle ( twice ) and had the car flashed at the local GM dealer. Now the car not only reads reduced engine power it read starting disabled service throttle and died while she was driving down a busy highway during rush hour.. Causing her to almost be involved in a bad wreck. …”
NHTSA complaint #11348559, filed 2020-08, 120,000 miles“Reduced engine power/ traction control warning/ gas line fuel leak. This car flashed a reduced engine power message while I was going 65 MPH straight away on busy city (in houston) freeway and the traction control warning light came on. My car then immediately reduced speed and would not go beyond 40 MPH. I was told that the gas line fuel leak has nothing to do with it but it seems very coincidental that this all happened in the same day. …”
NHTSA complaint #10811591, filed 2015-12, 148,000 miles“I have experienced many issues with my car. Shuts off when stopped/brake. Cranks right back up. Reduced engine power car has shut down starter disabled. Low oil pressure light comes on and stays on. Traction control light comes on.”
NHTSA complaint #10692647, filed 2015-03, 207,000 miles“My wife's daily driver is a 2007 Impala . She was driving home with our three kids when the car started shaking and the reduced engine power display came on. After that she could only go about 25mph. This scared her and could have caused an accident. I looked online and found forums about a lot of people having the same problem and it pisses me off that GM hasn't recalled these vehicles . Does someone have to die before this situation is taken care of?”
NHTSA complaint #10549625, filed 2013-10, 150,000 miles“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. …”
