The car can have moments of power loss where the speedometer suddenly, erratically spikes while the tachometer slightly lags. It almost stalled my vehicle while transmission was in drive while stopped. It feels like dragging when the power loss occurs. This has occurred randomly for the past month, mostly during interstate driving with cruise control operating. It has happened the last six times I have driven, but the previous several times it did not occur. It also occurred in a similar random fashion for the prior two weeks. When it does occur it feels like power drain and deceleration that can last a second and this will occur several times during a twenty minute drive at 70mph. Mechanics at two shops seem confused and don't know where to begin except for a transmission fluid flush. That was completed and the problem has persisted. There are no related error codes. To lose power suddenly and unexpectedly could cause an accident especially if a system failure shuts off the vehicle while driving. This vehicle has had an oil consumption/burning problem since I bought it with around 60,000miles. It needed 2 quarts of oil added between the last oil changes. I have spent $1400 in July of this year on gasket replacements and that did not stop the leak. More gasket heads and an oil pan are going to be need to replaced and the estimate is another $1400. This is too much to be spending on possibly related issues in a short time span that may not resolve the problem.

The diagnostic revealed that there are 11 codes in the vehicle system. These codes ranged from passkey system failures to evap codes to transmission. Suspected failure of wiring harness altogether with possible bcm/cam failure as well. During battery test there was a regular drop in voltage while connected to the scanner reflecting a drain in the electrical system that could further be causing an issue. Codes are p0513 , p0523 , p0700 , p2122 , p0411, p0449 ,p0455. When driving stabilitrack, engine power reduced, and stabilitrack traction control. Sometimes the car shuts off while driving and the steering wheel will lock , I'd w ok old have to pull over on the side of the highway or street and pop the hood just to get the car started again.

My car has worked fine scince I bought it with no check engine codes.I pulled into parking space and put car in park,all of a sudden it stalled out and will not crank anymore but has power.key will not come out of ignition and battery will not shut off.the ignition switch is a very common problem with impalas and is very dangerous.it locks people out of there cars,gets stuck in gears,wont let key release,wont start,sets off anti theft signal which cuts power to door locks,trunk,starter,fuelpump,and more.I have read hundreds of forums of this problem with chevy impala that has been going on for years without the problem being fixed.elderly women breaking down on highway or car just shutting off and not restarting.it is soooooo common with chevy that they can diagnose the problem just over the phone.this is very unacceptable and has to be dealt with.please recall this problem.

Service stabilitrak indicator showed up and the vehicle does not run properly (engine seemed to want to stall, loss of power, rough idleing, transmission 'kicking'. This problem should be repaired by the dealership and not the consumer since the costs of repair are (can be) extremely high. Manufacturer should ensure the parts they use for stability and safety will last for the life of the vehicle.

Driving home one night after just having my vehicle repaired a few weeks earlier, without warning, my vehicle began to stall. Just before the stall it was driving completely normal with no issues at all. Suddenly the check engine light came on along with the messages of service stabiltrack, traction control disabled, and low engine power. When I took the vehicle to the dealer I bought it from I was told that there was an aftermarket senondary air check valve that was causing the issue. With this they gave me the following codes; p0068, p0340, p0651, and p2135. Due to me just recently getting this part replaced this past february I took it back to the mechanic that replaced it. When I received the vehicle back it would no longer even start. The mechanic then informed me that the air valve would not cause this issue and there was something else wrong with the vehicle and to take it to another dealer. When that was done I was told a second time that it was the air valve. I have now come out of pocket twice for tows that I can't afford. Along with paying for an expensive part possibly twice. Vehicle only has 50k miles on it and has never given me any issues until this year.

I have had my 2010 chevrolet impala ls for about one year now. It currently has 164,000 miles. The following problem started happening about 6 months after I bought it, during the winter months. While driving at any speed in any kind of weather (but happens more often in cold weather) two lights pop up, the check engine light and the stability track light. I also get three display messages, service stabiltrack, service traction control and engine power is reduced. Half of the times that this occurs my car literally shuts off while driving and a different message is displayed stating engine power shutting down. I lose all control of vehicle, power steering, gas etc. This only happens when going at high speeds ,which is even more dangerous. I turn the car off, if I immediately try to turn it back on it does nothing, if I wait a minute or so it will turn over. At this time usually all display and lights are off except the check engine light. Which does eventually go away. This is a very dangerous situation and needs to be fixed or a recall is in order. There are far too many people that have gone through this similar situation.
