2010 chevy impala. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle engine problems. *smd the consumer stated while driving home, the traction control and check engine light illuminated. The engine cut off, and the consumer lost power steering. He was able to coast off the road, and after a few minutes, he re-started the engine.
While driving, reduce power in engine. Check stability trac, and lost acceleration. The car shut off in the middle of the freeway. Restared after a 10 minute wait. Check engine light was on, but now off. *tr happen from time to time.
My wife was driving on interstate and all of a sudden lights start flashing on dash board saying traction control, engine performance reduced and check engine light comes on. Car completely shuts down on major highway. Gm needs to do something!!!! Before someone seriously gets hurt or worse. Went to auto shop and they said it is the accelerator pedal sensor gone bad already at 56,103 ? I just bought the car, and only had it for 1 year. I will never buy anything gm makes or recommended there vehicles to family or friends this is ridiculous. Someone needs to care about public safety because obviously they do not. Please do a recall and save a life !!!!!
When turning on the air, there is a knocking noise on the passenger side by the glove box. Sounds like the air door actuator. It was the same thing with my 2003 chevy impala. Check on youtube. There more and more problems with this part. Just purchase this vehicle on july 24, 2013 at a dealership.
Chevy 2010 showed a code of service safety link, traction control engine power reduced and the engine light is on.
My car suddenly lost power while driving, no warning. Engine light came on that says "service stabilitrak". I was able to pull over safely and after a few moments I could drive again. I previously owned a 2009 impala and this same thing happened! It would have cost $1900 to fix which is why I just decided to upgrade and by another. This appears to be a common problem with this type of vehicle.
In april 2011, I was driving on expressway and the check engine light came on and warning read reduce engine power, service traction control, service stabilitrac and then engine cut off and I coasted to shoulder of hwy. The car finally started back up after a few minutes. I had to buy $100 accelerator pedal position sensor. Now on june 28, 2013, only 2 years later, it is doing the same thing again so I have to buy another one. The warranty on it only lasted 12 months. I bought this car in october 2010 and this problem started in april 2011.this car is just 3 years old and from reading on the web, there are alot of chevrolets having this problem. I'm reading about model years from 2007 with this same issue. Gm should have addressed this problem by now. I need help with this issue!!!!
While driving on the highway and accelerating to merge, the car felt as if it dropped a gear or two and the power was noticeably reduced. The service light on the dash came on and the error message "service stabilitytrac- service traction control" came across the dash. Now the car when it accelerates "jerks" as if it's having trouble making it to the next gear when moving between 20-30mph on the speedometer. The power in accelerating after 30mph is dramatically reduced the faster you wish to go.
I was driving on a rural road at 55 miles per hour in my 2010 impala and it was just a normal activity no excessive turning or driving . My light came on and said to service traction control. Then my light said engine power has been reduced. I was trying to get to a safe place to pull off the road an my light came on again and it said it was disengaging the throttle and my car just quit. No power steering no warning just quit and I barely got it off the road in time to keep me from crashing! The car wouldn't start for about ten minutes but finally I got it started and made it home. If I had been on the interstate this could have been tragic !
My car is having issues with the service traction control, engine power reduced and will shut down. This has happened to me over 5 times now. I can't even pick up speed after this happens. I was on the highway one time doing about 65 and the car just shut down, I was on an incline/ramp and an 18 wheeler was behind me and I could have been killed. I have taken the car into to get the codes ran but can not seem to get to the root cause. I am thinking about just giving the car back and having it go on my credit.
I have a 2010 chevrolet impala lt with 65,000 miles. I was almost in an accident. A deer ran onto the highway on may 12,2013. I was going 60 MPH and then made a sudden stop. The next day my check engine light plus the traction control system light came on.... Now, I only had this car not even 2months and making payments and I am having problems with it (already). Any other car that I had have in the past I made sudden stops and check engine lights never comes on. Whats going on with the chevrolet impalas? They look nice but they are sssoooo not worth the cost to purchase or to get repaired. This is the only bad investment I have ever made in my life. I should have stuck with my mazda. I will let it be known to anyone who ask me about chevrolet to dont even bothered. There are better cars than the chevrolet. This car is also a gas guzzler. I put $50 in the tank every 5 days when driving locally. I only work 10 minutes from my house. Everytime you stop you loose gas mileage on your dic the gas is great on the highway though. Like I said the worst investment I have ever made. Chevrolet....im so upset and disappointed.
Riding along at 70 MPH traction control light and check engine light comes on. Computer says engine speed is reduced. Drove two more miles to pull over safely but car cut off and computer says engine start is disabled and car would not restart until I unhooked battery. Not real fun with rush hour in st. Lewis.glad I was not [xxx]ended.
Stabilitrac light on with reduced engine power - tested and found code b 2138 replaced shorted gas pedal assembly. On april 9, 2010 the same problem occurred. The dealership charged me $463 for the first repair and now they are saying I must pay another $500 for a sensor. This is a major safety issue and a faulty system that should be under warranty and/or under gmac recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. The contact stated that the electronic stability control warning light illuminated as the vehicle lost power and then stalled. In addition, the power steering assist failed. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the traction control system was replaced. The contact stated that the problem recurred after three weeks. The failure mileage was 37,000 and the current mileage was 38,000.
The 2010 impala was at hwy speeds at approx 65mph. The traction control light came on and the check engine light and the message display was flashing traction control failure. The lights stayed on. It also said engine at reduced speeds . The traction control failed at hwy speeds which left me coasting to reduced speeds and then the car shut off at 20 MPH with no power steering or braking. I was able to coast off the highway into a parking lot off the service road.
I had purchased a 2010 chevrolet impala in july, 2010. The first attempt at repair of the front end vibration was on 10/22/2010. The dealership did not recognize the vibration. The vehicle tires were rotated on 01/26/11 in an attempt to stop the vibration in the front end. The vehicle was taken in on 03/18/11 for front end noise (thump) while turning the wheels. The vehicle was taken in on 07/07/11 for the thumping noise in the front end while turning the wheels. The vehicle was taken in on 07/28/11 for a front end thumping noise when turning the wheels. The vehicle was taken in on 08/16/11 for a front end thumping noise and the dealership notices the tires were wearing slightly cupped on the inside edge. The vehicle was taken in on 09/08/11 for a whining noise from the engine bay and power steering fluid was flushed. The vehicle was taken in on 04/09/12 for front end thumping noise, wheel bearing, transmission surge, and whine noise from radio. The vehicle was taken in on 06/27/12 for rough idle, tire replacement, transmission. The vehicle was taken in on 07/27/12 for rough idle, transmission surge, thump noise in front end and whine noise in radio. The vehicle was taken in on 10/05/12 for transmission surge, rough idle, thump noise in front end, and whine noise in radio. The outcome at this point is the dealership tried to reprogram the vehicle, gm approved replacement of all four tires, a replacement of the power steering pump, wheel bearing on driver front side. The dealerships have done two throttle body cleanings. The dealership has stated they will replace the rotors but gm would not approve replacement only turning on the rotors. This case has been opened with the better business bureau whom advised me to contact the federal safety agency. Gm refuses to replace parts because their computer system cannot tell them what is wrong with the vehicle. Gm has recalled the police vehicles for front end suspension and has a lawsuit pending in michigan for personal vehicle.
I have a low mileage vehicle. I have remained current on all of my routine maintenance. The car recently had the warnings: service traction control and engine power is reduced. I have looked on multiple outlets and saw that this is a common problem with this vehicle. The solution that the dealer gives is varied and coincidentally not covered under warranty.
The vehicle service stability track light comes on without reason all the time. The car reduces speed and stall when I stop. The vehicle also loses speed and shut down. I just purchased the car and cannot afford to have it repaired.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. While driving approximately 80 MPH, the trac stability and engine warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle immediately stalled. The vehicle was restarted after twenty minutes and resumed normally. The failure recurred three times when driving extended distances. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.
The 2010 impala was at hwy speeds and in cruise control at approx 65mph. The car got a front twitch that turned into a vibration. The cruise started to surge approx one hour into the trip. The traction control light came on, the check engine light a couple seconds later and the message display was flashing traction control failure, drive at reduced speeds and ignition failure. The traction control failed at hwy speeds leaving the driver coasting to reduced speeds and then the car shut off at 20 MPH with no power steering or braking. This is the second time this has happened. Both times cars approached at hwy speeds while I was slowing down without brake lights.
