2014 Chevrolet Impala: engine stalls while driving

Filed Sep 20, 2026 · NC

While driving my 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited Police vehicle, VIN [XXX], the engine unexpectedly shut off. The check engine light illuminated and the vehicle subsequently would crank but would not start normally. A diagnostic scan produced code P069E, Fuel Pump Control Module Requested MIL Illumination. After the failure, the vehicle would crank without starting using the normal ignition. The vehicle was towed home. I attempted to start vehicle using the factory remote-start system. It started as normal with the remote-start system, but shut off after a few minutes. I am reporting this because an unexpected engine shutdown while the vehicle is in motion created a safety risk due to the sudden loss of engine power while driving. I found GM service information addressing P069E and fuel pump control-related conditions on 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited vehicles, including GM bulletin PI1082. However, this VIN does not appear to be included in a recall or repair campaign for this condition. I am requesting that the federal safety agency document and evaluate this incident, including whether similar engine-stall, no-start, fuel pump control module, or P069E complaints have been reported for 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited vehicles outside any previously identified vehicle population.

I was driving straight on freeway at 70mph when "service stabilitrak" "service traction control" and "engine power reduced" showed in my dash as well as check engine light. At the same time the car shifted itself to 3rd gear and reduced speed to 40mph without change in driver input. This resulted in a near accident that would have been fatal. There was a 18 wheeler right behind me who was luckily paying attention and did not crush me when my vehicle did this. I then had to continue down the freeway unable to go beyond 50mph or get out of 3rd gear due to traction control malfunction. I had traction control set to off as I always do, it's not a needed thing living in a dry low elevation environment. If I applied more gas the engine would "bog down" and nearly stall because the computer was limiting speed and gear. I nearly died today because of poor engineering.
