There is an electrical connector behind the right side, kick panel that overloads and chars the plastic housing. The connector is for the rear defroster grid, but it cannot handle the amperage that the grid carries. It overloads and is a fire hazard that can could start a fire in the passenger compartment. It is a very common problem on ninth generation Chevrolet Impalas, to the point there are multiple youtube videos, offering shade tree repair advice that bypass the connector with a jumper wire. I’m including a link to one such a video. Https://youtu. Be/rgxpebezlqs?si=g2mjkpv2jjecn1qk.
I started for the first time in early June of having reduced engine power. At this time I get several warrning lights on dashboard. I get engine power is reduced, traction control and engine light. The car goes into limp mode. I replaced the accelerator pedal position sensor after the first event. Since this time I had it happen 4 more times. This situation can be dangerous if a car is behind me and I slow up real quick due to going into limp mode. I try to pull over where I can when this happens. Once I pull over for 10 minutes the car will resume like normal driving with just the engine light on. The next day the engine light usually leaves. It is hard to know when this will occur but it can be a dangerous situation to be in.
The car at lights act like it does not want to go which can cause a wreck.

Takata recall. Ignition key stays stuck won't release key I've seen so many complaints on this issue and the gas cap makes engine light come on what's going on!!! I'm on 2nd gas cap.
I have had this problem and I know a lot of others are having it too. When I'm driving the car's check engine light will come on will randomly and code saying engine power reduced. My car's engine power will reduce and I will no longer be able to accelerate and the car slows down. This happens at random times: on the freeway, in town, at stop lights, going up hills, on flat ground, when I first turn my car on, after driving for 5 hours. There is no pattern. After I turn my car off for a couple minutes, the light turn off and my car runs ok again. It happen at least once a week, but sometimes 4 or 5 times week.
