The check engine light keeps turning on. And the car has trouble shifting. I took it to get it checked out and they informed me that it has to do something with the transmission and that multiple people are having this problem with the same type of vehicle.

My car has been giving me problems ever since I begun using e85 gas. Check engine light constantly comes on and off. Mechanics from the dealer told me I should stop using e85. Makes no sense. Chevy should stop false advertising. This is a common issue with chevy. Why make a car for e85 if it wont work properly if use it. Dashboard constantly lighting up like cristmas. Says reduce engine speed. Service stabilitrak, service traction control. This car has gave me more problems than any car I owned. This should be recalled.

I was making a right turn and the traction stabilization error popped up on my dash and the check engine light came on. I came to a stop and the car started shaking while it was at a complete stop. The car never slid or anything so I don't know why the stabalization error would come on and this is the 2nd time it has done this. The vehicle is fairly new so I don't know why it does this. Once I stepped on the pedal slowly to go again the engine felt like it jerked. I have read many complaints on this issue on other forums.

I would like to place a complaint about my 2016 chevy impala ltz that I purchased from car max in glencoe, il on november 11 2016. I am a frequent traveler to central michigan and on my return trip to chicago on january 6, 2017, I was traveling south on highway 127 just south of mt. Pleasant michigan when all of sudden, the car lost power and it slowed down rapidly, there was a car behind me who almost rear-ended me, my wife and I were terrified. I pulled over to the side of the highway and put on my flashers. I looked at the dash and the following error lights were on (service engine soon, check engine light, reduced engine power, and stablitrack light). I looked at the owner's manual and it suggested that I turn the vehicle off and that it would reset. I followed instructions, turned on vehicle and all lights were cleared except check engine light. I got back on the highway and started to drive towards graff chevrolet in mt. Pleasant. In route, it happened again. Car lost power again, and all previous lights returned. I somehow made it to the dealership. Please see attached invoice, customer number 213805 for work done. From what I see, all that was done was all codes were cleared. I did some research on the internet and it seems to have happened to other chevy owners. I think that it's extremely dangerous and my wife and I now literally afraid to drive this car. What is being done to address this problem, in my opinion, these types of errors should not be happening to a one year old car
