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

TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE REDUCED ENGINE SPEED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASH WHILE I WAS DRIVING . I HAD BEEN DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MINUTE AT SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MPH. I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE .THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS BY PEOPLE HAVING THIS DAME ISSUE. THERE WERE PEOPLE SAYING THEIR LIVES WERE ENDANGERED .THEY WERE DRIVING AND THEIR ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF .THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH 2009 IMPALAS .THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR . AND FRIENDS ARE TELLING ME THAT FORD CARES ABOUT THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE AN TAKES CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I AM HOPING CHEVROLET WILL PROVE THAT CUSTOMERS SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. AND DOES A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ASAP . *TR

THIS PROBLEM INCLUDES MORE ITEMS THAN YOUR FORM ALLOWS ME TO CHECK. IT STATED OUT ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO WHEN YOU WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE STABLE TRACT AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON CAUSING THE ENGINE POWER TO BE REDUCED WHICH IS AN ANNOENCE BUT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE IS YOU ARE PASSING SOMEONE ON A TWO LANE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENS AND YOU CAN NOT COMPLETE THE PASS DUE TO REDUCED POWER. IF YOU PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF THE SERVICE LIGHTS WOULD GO AWAY AND MAY NOT COME ON AGAIN FOR WEEKS. THIS PROBLEM WENT AWAY AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THEN THE CAR STARTED A NEW ONE WITH A NO CRANK, NO START PROBLEM WHICH WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN YOU WOULD GET UP TO THREE WARNING LIGHTS, (SERVICE TABLE TRAC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE AIR BAGS) WITH TIME THE NO CRANK, NO START PROBLEM KEPT COMING AND GOING AND THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHEN IT WOULDN'T CRANK OR START WAS THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT. IF YOU KEPT TRYING TO START IT AFTER 3 TO 30 TIMES IT WOULD START AND RUN FINE AND MAY NOT ACT UP AGAIN FOR 1 DAY OR EVEN UP TO A WEEK. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I HAD MY WIFE SWITCH CARS WITH ME AS THIS WAS THE CAR SHE DROVE TO WORK DAILY AND I DIDN'T WANT HER TO GET STRANDED. I AM SO GLAD I DID THAT AS THE VERY FIRST DAY I DROVE IT TO WORK ON MY WAY HOME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND AGAIN I COULD HAVE BEEN IN

WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND REDUCE ENGINE POWER READS ACROSS THE SCREEN. CAR SLOWS TO 45 MILES AN HOUR AND TURNS OFF. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE REPLACED AND THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL ON GOING....?

MY CAR WENT INTO THE SHOP ON 9/20/2016 FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. A LITTLE OVER A WEEK LATER AND THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON AND OFF. THE RECALL DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. READING UP I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS STILL HAVING ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL THAT WILL FULLY SOLVE THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF JUST A WEEK LONG BANDAID

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, DAYS LATER, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN.

MY COMPUTER IS ALERTING ME TO "SERVICE STABILITRACK". BASED ON SOME QUICK SEARCHES, IS SEEMS THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. WHERE DO I FIND OUT WHAT TO DO AND WHETHER OR NOT IT IS COVERED UNDER A RECALL? IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING.

WE BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL FOR WIRING HARNESS REPAIR BACK IN AUGUST BECAUSE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. DEALERSHIP WRAPPED THE WIRES. 3 WEEKS LATER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US WIRES WERE DAMAGED AND WIRING CONNECTOR NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS NOT PART OF RECALL. PAID $329. WHEN I READ RECALL ONLINE, IT CLEARLY STATES THE WIRES SHOULD BE INSPECTED BEFORE APPLYING THE TAPE AND IF NOT WIRING SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR NO CHARGE. I FILED COMPLAINT WITH GM AND THEY CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHO STILL SAYS WIRES ARE NOT PART OF RECALL. ADVISED WORD FOR WORD OF RECALL AND NO HAVE TO GO TO DEALERSHIP WITH PAPERWORK. MY CHILD IS DRIVING THIS CAR AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE COULD HAVE LEFT IT AS IS. REALLY?

WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT NEVER STAY OFF AFTER SO MANY REPAIRS WE SEE NO HOPE OF IT BEING REPAIR. CHEVROLET IS DOING ANOTHER COVER UP JUST LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH. WE HAVE SPENT OVER 700 ON REPAIRS ONLY TO STILL HAVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON.

I GOT AN ALERT THAT I SHOULD "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THAT "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED". THE CAR BEGAN JERKING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND HAS ACTUALLY CAUSED THE CAR TO SHUT OFF WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED (65MPH).

ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY :SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. I GOT HOME AND LOOKED AT THE LATEST RECALL NOTICE SENT VIA MAIL TO US AND SAW THE IGNITION RECALL COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS IF NOT REPAIRED SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DEALER. ONCE THERE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER RECALL AND THEY WOULD FIX BOTH. I ASKED ABOUT THE LIGHT BUT WAS BLOWN OFF. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND I LEFT WITH THE LIGHT OFF. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT CAME ON BUT WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR IT WOULD GO AWAY. THIS HAS KEPT HAPPENING BUT SINCE YESTERDAY IT IS CONSTANT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND GM AND BOTH SAY THEY ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON LINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE SECOND RECALL WAS FOR A PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONS AND LOSS OF AIR BAGS! GM IS VERY BLAISE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE IN A LONG LIST OF PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THE IMPALA. TWO OUT OF FOUR DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK UNLESS YOU MANUALLY OPEN THEM, ONE OF MY SEAT WARMERS DOES NOT FUNCTION, ETC... THIS IS A POORLY MADE VEHICLE AND THE ISSUES ARE SAFETY IN NATURE.

A FIX AIRBAG WARNING COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. IT IS INCONSISTENT- AS IT WILL COME ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR, BUT MOST OFTEN WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL STAY ON FOR 1 MINUTE TO MAYBE 5 MINUTES, THEN GOES OFF. IT STARTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND HAS COME ON APPROX 5 TIMES IN ABOUT 30 DIFFERENT USES OF THE CAR.

CHEV RECALL #16V507000 REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT SIDE. I REPORTED THAT I HAD THE RECALL NOTICE BUT THAT I ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG BUT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD GET IT TO TURN OFF BY MOVING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK AND FORTH AND/OR UP AND DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM REPORTED IN THE RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT. AT THE DEALERSHIP,THE CAR COMPUTER VERIFIED THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK THE CARE IN FOR THE RECALL, THEY CHECKED THE PASSENGER SEAT WIRING UNDER WARRANTY BUT CHARGED ME $130.12 TO GET THE DRIVER'S SEAT WIRING FIXED. THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT. SEEMS GM DOESN'T CARE IF THE DRIVER GETS KILLED OR INJURED.

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS TRACTION SERVICE CONTROL IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IF IT HAVEN'T ALREADY!!!! IT COMES ON EVERYDAY AND, FEW MINUTES IT JUMP ON AND OFF! I HAVE TAKEN MY TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TRACTION SERVICE CONTROL WHICH ALSO HAD A RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS OVER THE 120,000 MILES FOR THE THE RECALL. THE GUY ACT LIKE IT DIDN'T T DO IT WITH HIM. I CAN NOT PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ANYONE BECAUSE IT STALL OUT AND MAKE NOISE TO BAD, I CAN NOT BACK UPHILLS WITHOUT THIS BEING A PROBLEM. I GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND I MAKE OUT; I ALSO TOLD MY FAMILY IF I DON'T PLEASE SUE THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUS! ME AND MY FAMILY ALONG WITH OTHER DRIVERS LIFE ARE IN DANGER WITH THIS PROBLEM

THEY ALSO GAVE ME A LIST OF 9 CODES THAT MY CAR NOW HAS BUT DIDN'T BACK IN JUNE 3 OF WHICH I KNOW ABOUT TIRE AND DEAD BATTERY IN MY REMOTE AND MY ACTUATOR DOOR, THE REST ALL HAVE TO DO WITH ELECTRIC ISSUES. I THINK STEMMING FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I WOULDN'T PAY 90.00 TO HAVE IT CODED AGAIN SO I LOOKED UP THE CODES MYSELF AND THEY ARE ALL LOOP OPEN CIRCUIT AND ONE IS SECOND ROW SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CONTROL. SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS MORE THAN WRAPPING THE WIRES IS GOING TO FIX, I THINK IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALL BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING.

THE DASH BOARD ON MY CAR IS CRACKED AROUND WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG COMES OUT. I FEEL IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR WHEN THE AIR BAG NEEDS TO DEPLOY. I FEEL THE CRACKED DASH BOARD MAY TURN INTO A SHARD OF HARD PLASTIC THAT COULD EITHER PIERCE THE AIR BAG OR HURT THE CORRESPONDING PASSENGER. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEN THAT THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT IN GENERAL MOTOR VEHICLE MODEL YEARS 2007-2013. NUMEROUS REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO GENERAL MOTORS IN REGARDS TO THIS CRACKING. GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECLINED TO COMMENT TO EACH AND EVERY CLAIM BUT HAVE OFFERED SOME CUSTOMERS A HEFTY DISCOUNT TO REPLACE THEIR DASH. THE MAIN CALL TO ACTION HERE IS SAFETY. DASHES THAT ARE CRACKED IN PLACES AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CAN BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER OR SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG DEPLOYS. PREVIOUSLY STATED, GENERAL MOTORS OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZES THIS AS A PROBLEM BEING THAT IT HAS OFFERED PERSISTENT CUSTOMERS, WHO BRING UP THE VALIDITY OF SAFETY CONCERNS, A REPLACEMENT FOR $200 TO FREE. PLEASE HELP ME BRING THIS ISSUE TO LIGHT BY MAKING THIS AN ACTIVE RECALL ITEM. THANK YOU. *TR
