Check driver side air bag light. Dealer inspection resulted in "bad sensor". Wanted $400. To replace. Current issue: away from home. Car started but engine very rough. Check engine light, message "loss of power", check stabil-track". Car would shift into drive after revving up to 3k RPM. Max speed attainable 55 MPH. Made it home. Now unable to start car. (new battery) others with similar problems had to replace/clean throttle control sensor?? Some were at higher speed when the loss of power occurred. No start is another issue?

On my way to work, I was making a next turn at a light when my car all of a sudden shut off and then turned back on twice in a matter of 15 seconds. This is very dangerous, if it wasn't for the very attentive drivers, I could've been rammed!!! The second incident was after I got off of work. My car was in a parking garage when this happened. I tried starting my car and it wouldn't start. I tried a second time and it started but the engine was revving really hard, like I was about to speed off or something. I turned the car off again and started it again for the third time and "service stabilitrak, service traction control, and reduced engine power" all come up on the service screen. After reading multiple forums online with hundreds of complaints about this. I was scared to drive home. I drove at about 40 MPH all the way home (my job is a 25-30 min commute) and fortunately I didn't get stranded and my car didn't turn off in the middle of driving like some folk have experienced. Gm needs to address this problem. Why isnt there a recall yet?!

While driving the traction control,stabilizer,engine power warning all come on and the check engine light comes on and sometimes the engine turns off. Pull off road, will not start then minutes later it starts. Check engine light stays on. After multiple starts the check engine light goes out . I have read multiple complaints about this ,yet the nothing is being done. To repair this problem. The effects of this is the same as the ignition turning off. Pending on traffic. This could be deadly. This has happened alot.

The car keeps running after it is turned off. The fan also keeps running, then the next morning the car wouldn't start. The air won't turn down and sometimes it doesn't work at all. There doesn't seem to be a difference between air and defrost. While I am driving, the light keep getting dim, then brighter, then dim, then bright. It was the next morning then when it wouldn't start! Sometimes when we put the key in, we couldn't get it out. We had to keep trying to turn it on and off, then it finally let us take the key out.

While I was driving the service stability pack and traction control light came on and immediately after the reduced engine power came on. The car then jerked, and shut off while I was still driving, and wouldn't start again until approximately 30 minutes later. There were no wet nor road hazard conditions that would have caused this to happen. Furthermore, I was driving at 60mph when this occurred in moderate traffic and almost got rear ended. This is a very unsafe issue, and I was told that the gas pedal needs to be replaced. Since then my vehicle has done this several times. This issues needs to be recalled because a lot of individuals have complained about having the same issues with the impala. What is it going to take an injury or fatality for a recall on these vehicles. Moreover, any vehicle that shuts off while driving at any speed because of an issues with throttle body/gas pedal needs to be recalled because this is a major safety issue.

First incident was on (05-29-2014check engine light, service traction system, and reduced power lights came on. Car took off with a jerk. Had car scanned for codes. Came back as the throttle position sensor. Had that changed today(06-06-2014) and code cleared out. Was doing great unill this evening while I was driving home tonight ,(06-06-2014),on highway doing 56 m.p.h. And car shut off. Check engine light came on, service traction control system, and reduced engine power. I quickly veered off into median and turned flashers on. There were several cars behind me. Car would not start right away. After several minutes it started with only check engine light on. My children and I could have been seriously injured or killed had I not been able to react as quickly as I did. Obviously I am not the only one experiencing this same issues based on the investigations on here. I have also researched on many gm forum posts with many reporting the same issues. Gm basically apologizes in the forums and tells them to take it up with the dealership.
