I JUST RECENTLY HAD THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED NOTIFICATION COME UP ON MY CAR AND POWER REDUCED A GOOD AMOUNT. I GOT HOME AS SOON AS I COULD AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. DIDN'T COME ON THE NEXT DAY BUT WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, 25-45 MPH, I COULD FEEL A LITTLE OF A PULL TIME TO TIME, SAW THAT THE RPM NEEDLE WOULD JUMP TIME TO TIME. I HAVE ALSO DRIVEN IT ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT IS JUST THE SAME THING.

CHANGED THE WIPER MOTOR AND THE WIPER SWITCH AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK. I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE WORKING WIPERS ON MY CAR. PEP BOYS WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A SKUNK-LIKE ODOR ENTERED THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 129,000.

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL ENGINE POWER REDUCED DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT DROPPED THE SPEED FROM 75 TO 40 IN MATTER OF MINUTES MY FAMILY ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A SEMI THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT

MY ISSUE STARTED WITH MY CAR TURNING OVER. IT WOULD NOT WANT TO START FIRST TRY BUT WOULD TURN OVER ON THE SECOND. SOME TIMES IT WOULD START FINE AND OTHERS IT HESITATED. AFTER DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE MY BATTERY DIED AFTER SPENDING A LITTLE WHILE IDLING. TOOK IT TO CHECK THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BATTERY BUT BOTH WERE FINE. CONTINUING TO INTERMITTENTLY ACT UP WHEN STARTING, IT ALSO STARTED TO SHOW OTHER PROBLEMS. I WAS GETTING IN MY CAR TO LEAVE AND IT STARTED UP FINE BUT BEFORE I COULD PULL OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND SHOWING AN "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" MESSAGE. I TURNED IT OFF RAN INSIDE AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT TO SHOW OTHERS THE ISSUE IT STARTED WITHOUT A PROBLEM AND DID NOT HAVE THE MESSAGE ANY MORE. STILL HAVE THE TURNOVER HESITATION, I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT HOWEVER IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHOW THE SAME ENGINE POWER REDUCED MESSAGE AS I PULLED INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. ALSO HAS DONE THIS WHEN LEAVING AND TURNING INTO A MAIN ROAD, CAUSING US TO PULL OVER AND WAIT TO START IT AGAIN. TOOK IT TO GET CODES TESTED AGAIN AND IT PULLED UP A DIDN'T MATCH CODE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH TONS OF OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WORSE. MANY SHOWED THE SOLUTION TO BE REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WHICH WE DID. SLIGHT HESITATION ON THE START UP BUT TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK NO ISSUES. WENT TO TEST IT ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEFORE WE EVEN MADE IT THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED CAME ON AND CAR SHOOK AGAIN. THERE AND SO MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND MANY HAVE NOT FOUND THE FIX. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING SINCE WE CANNOT RETURN THE PART AFTER IT'S BEEN INSTALLED. I AM WORRIED TO TAKE MY CAR OUT AND DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN WHILE I'M AT INCREASED SPEEDS.

MY CAR STARTED HAVING THE TRACTION CONTROL COME ON ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS CRACKED-CHEVROLET SAID NOT THEIR FAULT, SO, I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THEN, IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. IT STOPPED. THEN, STARTED UP AGAIN. TOOK TO THE CHEVROLET GARAGE WHO PUT IT ON THEIR TOTAL DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. TOLD I NEED BOTH BEARINGS ON THE FRONT. AT A $972.00 PRICE TAG FOR THIS, I BOUGHT THE BEARINGS AND HAD ANOTHER GARAGE PUT THEM ON AT A GREAT REDUCTION IN COST TO ME ON LABOR. NOW, IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. THE WHEEL SENSORS APPEAR TO BE FINE. NOW I NOTICE IT IS DOING IT A LOT MORE AND STARTING TO DO IT WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT CERTAIN TIMES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW, AND, FOR ITS AGE, IT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 60,000 MILES ON IT. (THE DATE THAT THAT I AM USING IN THE NEXT STEP HERE IT BEGAN IS THE DATE WHEN IT REALLY STARTED DOING ITS 'TRICKS' A LOT MORE).

"SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THEN "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" ALTERNATING ON DASH OFTEN, WHILE DRIVING. MY MECHANIC COULD ONLY DIAGNOSE THE THROTTLE PEDAL SENSOR WAS GOING OUT. HE REPLACED THE PEDAL. TWICE, IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. ALL MECHANICS SAY I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP, I HAVE A FEELING THIS IS A RIP-OFF.

DASH SAYS "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" THEN "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC. HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND WHAT CAME UP WAS I NEEDED A "THROTTLE SENSOR", WHICH MEANT REPLACING THE GAS PEDAL. HE DID THIS. THAT DIDN'T WORK SO HE RE-DID THE PEDAL. STILL GETTING THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE, WITH REDUCED ENGINE POWER, THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NOW THE BIG PROBLEM IS- I HAVE TO GO TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE AND PAY 150 BUCKS JUST FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WHICH DOESN'T EVEN GO TOWARD SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN. TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR AND REPLACED THE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT AND WAS TOLD IT'S A COMMON OCCURRENCE. IMPALAS HAVE A THROTTLE SENSOR INSTEAD OF CABLE. IF THE SENSOR GOES OUT, THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED TO PROTECT THE ENGINE INTEGRITY. IN SOME CASES, IT'S REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY. THE MANUFACTURE NOTED MY CONCERN BUT THE REP WOULD NOT ESCALATE THE MATTER. I WENT ONLINE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THERE IS A CHEVY FORUM WITH SIMILAR CONCERNS. GENERAL MOTOR REPS REPLY WITH COMMON RESPONSES TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED MECHANIC AND THEIR CONCERN HAS BEEN NOTED. I WAS INFORMED BY REPRESENTATIVE AT 800# FOR MANUFACTURE TO CALL BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THANKFULLY I WASN'T GOING AT A HIGHER SPEED IN DALLAS TRAFFIC. NOT SURE IF I WOULD HAVE HAD THE LUXURY OF PULLING OVER.

IN DECEMBER MY CAR WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED REDUCED ENGINE POWER THE SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR CUT OFF. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC PRAYING THAT WE WOULD NOT BE HIT WHEN EVERYONE IS DOING 70 MPH. WHEN THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ONLY BE TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT I CAN START BY REPLACING THE PCM MODULE AND THAT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A CHEVY DEALERSHIP NOT KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEY CARS. ESPECIALLY A CAR THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH SO MANY OF ITS CAR ACROSS THE NATION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCE SINCE DECEMBER AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTER HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOT FEELING CONFIDENT IN $1,000 REPAIR THAT THE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES ARE NOT SURE IS GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IN HOPES OF GETTING A SOLUTION AND SOLID PLAN. I THINK THAT GM NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A GOOD SOLID SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND NOT GUESSING FIXES TO MAKE MONEY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES ARE BEING PUT IN DANGER. LIKE I FELT MINE WAS WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE LINE ON A HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR REDUCE POWER AND THEN SHUT DOWN.
