“Car cut off at speed in curve after quick dash warning: stabletrack.....reduced engine power..... Then cut off. No power brakes, no power steering, engine stopped running. If traffic had been in opposite lane would have been head on collision. This needs to be a recall. My wife will not drive her Impala any longer. This is my 14th Chevrolet - possibly my last!!!!!”

NHTSA complaint #10948098, filed 2017-01, 153,000 miles“Air bag sensor has been tripped for the past 7 months, I have researched this recall, and it looks like the wiring harness might be the only thing that needs to be replaced. However, whenever, I put in my VIN number, there aren't any recalls for this. Also, I have received a letter about the gas sensor possibly being bad, however, when I took it into a chevy dealer to have it fixed, they refused to. They told me that the check engine light wasn't on, and that I had to wait until it failed before they would fix it! …”
NHTSA complaint #11019874, filed 2017-08, 76,000 miles“Reduced engine power lights came, on traction control light came, on it was hard to accelerate in the middle of a highway, car almost shut down, but I made it home. It has happened twice on the highway and turnpike. I thought it was oil but that wasn't the issue. It stops (the problems) after I shut the car off for an evening, but I'm scared it will power down while on the highway again. When this issue happens the car beeps, then the traction light comes on with warning and so does the engine light and reduced engine power warning. …”
