Stability/traction control system activates for no reason. This causes a spontaneous major reduction in engine power. This happened while passing a semi-tractor trailer on an interstate. Fortunately, I was able to get to the side of the road and stop. Shutting the engine off for several minutes apparently allowed the system to reset. This has happened about a dozen times since. Had I been passing on a 2-lane road, it very likely could have caused a head-on collision.

I was driving down hwy 50 on a clear dry day and the engine lite comes on with the traction control warning, saying engine power reduced. Then the power shut off including the steering causing me to pull the car off into the dirt off the freeway. Due to this my front bumper got cracked. This problem is now a re-occurring problem.

Driving 65 on freeway car slows down to 40 check engine light says service traction control.

As I was driving to golf on Monday September 24th, on interstate I-80 heading west, my 2009 chevy Impala onboard computer stated the following, service traction control, reduced power, starter disabled and the check engine light all at roughly the same time. My car completely died and I had no power steering. Luckily I was able to coast out of harms way and get to the side of the road. I checked some wires under the hood and didn't find anything loose. When I attempted to start the car back-up, the onboard computer flashed, starter disabled. I sat with the car for about 15 minutes and tried once more. This time it started and ran normal, but the check engine like was on(still is). How scary is this really? enough to make me hate driving this car anywhere. Not to mention I'm a single dad of 4, who needs to get to work, school and many other things.

While traveling on I-95 at about 75mph, the following message appeared on the dash," repair traction control system. . . Engine power is reducing". Thankfully, I was approaching a rest area, so I safely coasted to a secure area. After escaping a potentially fatal accident, I researched this traction control message, only to discover innumerable customers had the same problem. This issue should be investigated since it is a universal problem, one that is endangering the lives of gm and other drivers on the highway.

I bought a 2009 chevy Impala with 35k miles on and not even a month after I bought it I started having problems with the traction control on acceleration and sometimes on braking. . . I see with all the internet complaints that this is a wide spread problem that gm seems to be putting off. . I have contacted gm and they told me the same thing as every other complaint take to dealer and spend over $100 just to get it looked at and the dealers say the same 3 things as all other complaints it could be three things. . Gas pedal sensor, brake pedal sensor, or the sensor on the hub assembly. . . Hmmmmmmmmmmm gm help. . . Ps after I got mad on phone gm agreed to pay a mere $90 of the bill which is gonna cost over $300 to fix. . . .
