Vehicle shuts off when moving,turning or stopped at a traffic light. By switching to neutral, the engine may start after 1 or more tries. So far the failures have been on city streets and highways. But not interstates. The failures are many but unpredictable.

Rear right brake line leaking fluid. This could be a fatal accident if I was on the highway. My 2003 chevy impala rear right brake line is rusted badly. The brake line actually rubbing against an across line that has a bunch of electric lines bundled together which is going over the rusted brake line and ends up causing the brake line worn out and brake fluid leakage. This could be a serious safety issue. Is it possible the administration could conduct a research on the model of this car for this issue?

This problem a started happening around 90000 miles. While I was going around a right turn the traction action would come on. Now it seems sometimes when I am just driving down a straight road. I can also feel my ABS come on when trying to stop.

Abs, traction, and break lights come on........ Then when I push on the gas paddle its often like the brakes want to lock up , with a scrubbing sound.... Also when I push the break paddle down it often makes a sound and the break paddle feels like it comes back up with the break still down,.........but then when I drive like 20-25 miles the lights go off and hardly come on until I stop again

My 2003 impala has a security passlock feature which either does not allow vehicle to start or shut vehicle off when it thinks it's being stolen. My vehicle randomly shuts off while driving when this security light comes on, at this point I lose all control of vehicle functions. This is an apparent problem with thousands os gm vehicles that they know about but give no solution or recall to. Instead, consumers are being stuck footing the bill to try and find a solution to a problem no one seems to know how to solve. Please help hold gm responsible and repair our vehicles before fatalities occur. There are pages of posts in several forums online with people having the same issue with no help.

Driver observed traffic coming to a stop, his brakes gave out, he could not steer left or right to avoid a car in front of him which caused him to rear-end the unit. His air-bag did not deploy.
