Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Impala

The diagnostic revealed that there are 11 codes in the vehicle system. These codes ranged from passkey system failures to evap codes to transmission. Suspected failure of wiring harness altogether with possible bcm/cam failure as well. During battery test there was a regular drop in voltage while connected to the scanner reflecting a drain in the electrical system that could further be causing an issue. Codes are p0513 , p0523 , p0700 , p2122 , p0411, p0449 ,p0455. When driving stabilitrack, engine power reduced, and stabilitrack traction control. Sometimes the car shuts off while driving and the steering wheel will lock , I'd w ok old have to pull over on the side of the highway or street and pop the hood just to get the car started again.

Reduced engine power, stabilitrac and traction control messages. While driving 2010 Impala . Comes on without warning car loses power down to 20 mph I was driving 55 mph on highway pulled over shut car off waited few minutes car restarted then not 5 minutes later did same thing only this time engine shut off was able to coast off road thank goodness called gm they told me it was out of warranty but was under special conditions . Take it to gm dealer so few days later got in it to take to dealer ,no lights on drove fine . Dealer told me to bring it back if and when warning lights came on again wow! read this same issue on forums gm should have a recall on this very dangerous issue . Called gm back after getting home they more less told me yes it should have been a recall but it isn't so have good day the cost is on you.

Car shuts down randomly on the highway and is life threatening.

While driving and the car shuts down, when it finally starts the engine light came on, the passenger seat comes on and no one is sitting there. Ive had it checked out something about an air mass flow sensor, then the light came on about traction.

Engine power reduced. . . Car shuts off in the middle of traffic.

My family was driving down the interstate at 70 mph, all of the sudden these messages started to appear on the message center. Engine power has been redused, something about traction control and another message that I can not remember. The car then lost all power, it shut off completely. We did make it over to the "slow" lane, but there we sat on the interstate with traffice all around us. The car would not start!!! need less to my girls and my self were terrified that we would be hit. After about 10 minutes the car did start again and we made it to our destination. The messages are not displaying now, but the engine light is still. I am taking it to the shop today. What will it take before gm does something about this??????.

Goodmorning I just would like to say this is my second vehicle from chevy but this vehical has really placed me in a bad bind. First the airbag light comes on and off for the passed month, next the key becomes stuck in the ignition then it went out had to replace that. Traction control light comeson comes over board with message saying," engine power is reduced then message states car shuting down " in the middle of driving . This last time I had my new born grandbaby in the car driving on expressway going 60speed limit car just shut offcars flying pass me I was really terrified for my safty and my grand child. This has occured off and on since last year. Last yeat I had taken it back to all star chevy in miss. They stated they couldn't find anything cost me a good penny when they stated that the warrenty was out. Now the car will not start. I have been replacing alot of electrical issues with this car for the last year but this time is the last time my grand baby and myself could have lost our life" now no car to get back and forth to work I have been really patient with chevy with this car I still have all my reciepts from aaa fixing this car I refused to spend any more money on this car. I need toknow if this compay will help me because a 2010 should not have this much problem.

The traction control light comes on, then you get a message saying the engine power is reduced. Then you get a message saying the car is shutting down. This has been happening every once in a while, but now it's a lot more frequent. This Saturday I was driving about 60 on a three lane highway with no shoulder/break down lane. The car shut off while I was going up a hill. Cars were flying up behind me and swerving to miss me. Normally it takes about 5 minutes and you can restart the car. This time it was almost 10 minutes. I had a panic attack sitting there. Once the car finally started I drove about 50 feet and it happened again. Luckily there was a dunkin donuts there and I coasted into the parking lot. I sat there about 20 minutes so I could catch my breath, stop crying and composed myself. When I went to the dealer about 6 months ago they said it was my gas pedal, and it was going to cost $164. However when you research this on the web, you will see most people who have the gas pedal fixed it happens again. There should really be a recall on this because someone will get into an accident and perhaps get killed.

Driving to work and I got a display message that said some thing similar to "stabilitrack repair, engine power reduced" and then the car shut down. No power steering, nothing. I was finally able to stop, but I wasn't able to get off the road and it caused a potentially dangerous situation. I've read online this is a common issue with Impala's and something that is a design flaw, as the shutting down of the car is not needed. Had I been in traffic, a large car pile up would have resulted.

When the incident first occurred, the engine light came on and the dash read "service stabilitrak", "service traction control" and "engine power reduced". It seemed fine when I turned off the car and turned it back on. The next incident didn't happen until a while later, and then it wasn't that bad. A few months later, I was driving back on the highway and the same thing happened, except it said "starting disabled, service throttle" and the car shut off. I pulled over to the side and I was able to restart the car after waiting a few minutes. It was a scary experience. Eventually, leading up to today, my car got worse and worse, and eventually it just started turning off at stoplights with the message "starting disabled, service throttle". It starts with the other messages almost as soon as I turn on the car. The engine revs and the car sounds awful.

My car is having issues with the service traction control, engine power reduced and will shut down. This has happened to me over 5 times now. I can't even pick up speed after this happens. I was on the highway one time doing about 65 and the car just shut down, I was on an incline/ramp and an 18 wheeler was behind me and I could have been killed. I have taken the car into to get the codes ran but can not seem to get to the root cause. I am thinking about just giving the car back and having it go on my credit.

I own a 2010 Impala with what seems to be a wiring problem which causes a huge safety concern. When I google the problem to try and find out what is wrong it seems other people have had this same issue with the Impala. The problem causes the car to completely shut down while you are driving down the highway. If you are unable to make it to the side of the road before it shuts off, it just dies right there in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic. First the traction light will come on a couple of times and then your car will say something like shutting down, then it will just turn off. This is very scary. If other people have this problem, isn't it a matter that chevy should have to recall? I can't imagine this is something that happens to most cars, especially when it is only 3 years old. They seem to have a feature that shuts down the power if the car things it is losing control of the tires, but the problem is, the tires are fine but the sensor is messed up. I have read many posts complaining of this same issue. It can't be safe to have cars just shut down right in the middle of the highway. I was almost hit! my daughter was in the car. I was barley in the shoulder as it shut down right as I was pulling onto it.

Driving at approximately 65 mph ad then all of a sudden the warning lights come on : check stability tracker, reduce power, and the vehicle shuts down.

I was driving and the car shut off. No brakes, no power steering, nothing. . . . . I coasted to the side of the road, put it in park, took the key out of the ignition, put it back in and the car started. Now I am scared to put my 5 month old in the car because it is not safe.
