Other Fuel System Problems of Chevrolet Impala - part 2

I turned the key in my car to start it, there was a very loud pop and the engine started smoking. The engine then caught fire and is totally destroyed. This car had been used 2 days prior with no issues, no safety lights on, no issues driving and it started fine that last time it was driven. The fire department has sent me a report on the cause.

Car cut off at speed in curve after quick dash warning: stabletrack. . . . . Reduced engine power. . . . . Then cut off. No power brakes, no power steering, engine stopped running. If traffic had been in opposite lane would have been head on collision. This needs to be a recall. My wife will not drive her Impala any longer. This is my 14th Chevrolet - possibly my last!!!!!.

I bought a 2002 chevy Impala and got it looked at before purchase the only thing that popped up on the code reader was there is an electrical problem, sometimes my signal lights work sometimes they don�t, my speedometer doesn't light up or anything. I then start to smell gas when I turn on the heat or air it's unbearable. I then proceeded to check for any recalls and there are a few dealing with the engine cooling and exhaust/gas leak along with electrical issues. They said the car could catch on fire at any time. I have two toddlers so there is no way that this is a safe car.

My car has worked fine scince I bought it with no check engine codes. I pulled into parking space and put car in park,all of a sudden it stalled out and will not crank anymore but has power. Key will not come out of ignition and battery will not shut off. The ignition switch is a very common problem with Impalas and is very dangerous. It locks people out of there cars,gets stuck in gears,wont let key release,wont start,sets off anti theft signal which cuts power to door locks,trunk,starter,fuelpump,and more. I have read hundreds of forums of this problem with chevy Impala that has been going on for years without the problem being fixed. Elderly women breaking down on highway or car just shutting off and not restarting. It is soooooo common with chevy that they can diagnose the problem just over the phone. This is very unacceptable and has to be dealt with. Please recall this problem.

After I getting the transmission fully repaired after it went out of nowere anyway I was driving and the steering wheel locked up on me and the sins are started going crazy in the car and I am one payment away from owning the vehicle and the last few months starting the beginning of this year I've noticed one problem after another the seat belt in the passenger's front side does not want to lock also it's saying that it needs service and as far as I'm concerned I bought this car barely two years ago in 2017 I'm financing it on a lease once I finish this last payment it'll be a little over 7,000 that I paid for it I feel like the dealer got over on me because it's my first vehicle and I didn't know exactly what I was doing this wasn't the car that I wanted if anything they avoided selling me the car that I wanted and gave me this one everything seemed fine for awhile but slowly started to all break down the tires are starting to say traction control and abs is on and never goes off the car shakes when I drive also the windows are starting to get stuck where they might want to roll up in might not I have already had to redo the transmission and I have already hacked you put a new head gasket and now I'm going to have to repair the axle and a motor mount and I don't know but this car is not safe the car dealership sold me a vehicle basically and scammed me because I did not know exactly what leasing a used car was about the car did lock up on me when I was driving I did not crash unfortunately but it pulled me to the side of the road and I had to pull to the left side of the road to avoid another car turning into me and crashing then I pushed as hard as I could and got home cuz it wasn't that far and I have my fiance check out the car. I don't want to give my car away nor do I want the money back I just want a car that is not going to cause death to me or my children.

Takata recall my intake manifold have a recall on it and I would like to bring it in to get fixed. I bought the car from an auction. Also my fuel flow does not work.

Stabilitrack has been messing up since I purchased this vehicle in October 2018. My car is scary to drive. Sometimes its not clear what gear I'm in. The car will not go over 5 miles per hour when the stabilitrack is messing up. The backup camera does not work when the stabilitrack light is on and sometimes it will not go in reverse. I have to wait and keep turning the car off then wait then try to start it. Stabilitrack needs a recall. I could not back out of my parking spot this morning because of the stabilitrack. It feels like the whole motor moved when I tried to reverse. There were no lights on the panel to know what gear I was in but it wad clear it skipped the reverse. When it finaly let me back up after turning the car on and off several times I could only eccelerate 3 miles per hour.

Reduced engine power light comes on intermintently while driving had the throttle body and accelerator pedal replcaed twice after I bought the car with 75000 miles on it. Still the reduced engine power light comes on. Just yesterday I was unable to start my car. Throttle problems light came on in window.

As I was driving, around 30 mph, the warning displays "reduced engine speed" and the car will barely reach 45 mph. Twice in 5 years, we have had to replace the accelerator pedal position sensor.

The intake rocker arm oil control valve deteriorates and pieces get lodge in the cam cover passages. Causes vehicle to misfire and not shift properly. Happens while sitting idle or moving.

I was noticed that the car if it sets without being ran. That it was lossing gas on the gas gauge. I would park the car over the weekend and when I check the Monday before work that the gauge had dropped. I had a friend check and he said that the fuel lines where wet with fuel and looked like they had dragged on the ground. He said I should get a hold of a dealership to see if there is a recall or a safety design flaw that can get this fixed. Cause 1 spark and the car could catch fire.

While driving home from work power steering lost power on bridge & could barely turn wheel had the vehicle towed to dealer when I was informed it was also leaking gas fumes.

Started driving car wouldn't go over 5 mph. Engine shakes violently. Display reads reduced engine power. Traction control warning.

I live in howard beach, nyc and saw an odd thing on line involving a nypd 106 which is our local precinct there where one of their Chevrolet models there had a like mechanical malfunction and it exploded there. It was so close to that thing in 1996 with twa flight 800 there remember that? besides that, they had photos on google photos of the nypd 106 car there all exploded and parked by the curb with the cause a mechanical malfunction like remember twa flight 800 in 1996 there with the plane there the mechanical malfunction made the plane explode there. Yes, I hope this does not continue. There is a photo of it on google pictures.

Hesitation during acceleration.

2/16/2019 (sat 3:30pm) : suddenly lost power when driving at 70 mph on highway 99 near fresno, California. Felt like no gas coming in. Engine was still on, but gas pedal seemed to pump no gas to the engine. Pumping the gas pedal had no acceleration response. Speed continued to drop on the highway, very dangerous! finally, luckily pulled over to the shoulder without mishap. Engine was still on when stopping by the side of the highway, kind of idling at low rpm. Shut off the engine and tried to restart it to hope for the problem to go away. Cranked a dozen times and could not to get engine to continue. Felt like running out of gas. 2/17/2019 sun: the car was finally towed to a nearby dealer. 2/18/2019 mon dealer service diagnosis reported broken "fuel flow control module". The estimate of its repair (part + labor) is near $500 I have asked the replaced module to be saved for investigation. Summary: sudden failure of the fuel flow control module that completely cuts off the fuel without a fail-safe design, nor a warning, for a part not in the regular maintenance list, particularly at low mileage (42,000) exposes drivers to high risk of accidents on the highway. Action requested: it may be a quality-escaped issue on such a module. Failsafe design is needed for 21 century highway safety. I ask NHTSA to request gm to investigate this case to determine the cause of such sudden failure of fuel flow control module on a low-mileage car.

My sons chevy Impala was in our driveway untouched for two days. When he got in it and turned the key to start the vehicle the intake manifold exploded and caused an engine fire. While online I found this has been a problem for years!!! why hasn't this been addressed? he could have died. And if I wasn't in the yard to react and put the fire out my house could have gone up with it.

Multiple throttle body failures, first one was replaced by gm at 33k miles last until about 70k since 2017 had to replace 3 more times all new parts being under warranty. On 4th throttle body now, usually happens when car is in normal city driving. . .

While driving 60 mph, go a service stabilatrak, reduced engine power, then engine turned itself off. Fortunately, I was on a straight road as power steering and brakes did not work. After rolling to a stop, I put it in park and tried to restart. Nothing! no clicking at all. After 5 minutes and multiple attempts, car started and drove normally??? car only has 36,000 miles on it.

A couple days ago on January 5th, my car started taking a second longer than normal to start up after sitting for hours at a time but when I shut it off immediately and wait about 3 to 5 seconds to start it, it starts perfectly fine. I have between 148,000 and 149,900 miles and I've had it for three years and this is the first time it happened.

I am complaining about the just purchased whic was vavoline when placed in vehicle engine thermal viscosity breakdown happened and engine block seized. Restarted after oil change same oil engine block seized. With what I'm reading and watching the third or fourth vehicle towed from the neighborhood maybe it's the motor oil. I understand that high heat breaks down rapidly with soy based lubricants. I understand you might not be able to admit this or are unaware but could you please keep on file.

The vehicle shut down and I cannot start it because of the ignition switch causing the entire vehicle to become inoperable. I was pulling up in my drivewaywhen the vehicle shut down.

Upon starting stabilitrak needs service. Redused engine power and check engine light all came on and car ran rough. Reatart and car runs but check engine light satys on.

Car drives for 15 minutes then display an "engine power reduced" and "service traction control" light. Car hesitates to accelerate the eventually cuts off after a "service throttle body light" comes on. Car cut off on the highway at 70mph. Whenever there is a problem with the car these lights come on. It doesn't specify what the actual problem is.

While I was driving down an interstate in heavy traffic (rush hour) getting ready to merge onto another interstate the vehicle lunged violently jolted and lost power. At that time I was driving (cruise control off) at 60mph, the display lights on the dashboard came on stated: stability control, traction control,check engine came light on, and vehicle rapidly slowing. I was able to move to the right lane and access and exit ramp. Once that happened you can't get vehicle to move when pressing on the gas pedal. I put it in park, turned off the vehicle. I waited for a few minutes then turned on the car. The check engine light remained on. Vehicle has done this a few other times however; no codes come back when diagnosed as the check engine light turns itself off. This seems to be a major issue however; gm doesn't want to accept responsibility and fix their issue to make their vehicles safe. I am terrified of driving the vehicle and consider my experience lucky in the fact no accident happened however; I am now paying to have my car parked in a lot waiting for gm.

2014 chevy Impala - 50,000 miles - the vehicle will lose power when trying to accelerate. It will suddenly regain power and the engine will surge. On 8/20/18 I can to a stop at a stop sign in a residential neighborhood. I pressed the accelerator, but the car did not respond and almost stalled. I did not realize how far I was pressing the accelerator, and when the car regained power the front tires squealed from the resulting burnout. Luckily, I didn't run anyone over from taking off like this. A mother was with her child on the sidewalk and was not pleased with the way I was driving in an area where kids play. This car has had one problem after the other. I discovered a gm service bulletin pip5507b - "in ambient temperatures 100f or higher, vehicle may exhibit a hesitation or stalling condition - customers can be advised to utilize fuels with octane 91 or higher, refrain from idling, and only park vehicle in a covered garage. As long as you don't use this vehicle, you're fine. I can't believe this is a known safety issue and no recall. I guess someone has to be killed, first.

Bad solenoid in transmission causes car to jerk upon acceleration. Transmission slips. Usually happens taking off from a stop with a slow acceleration. Feels like being rear ended and can cause sluggish acceleration. Problem needs to be addressed with a recall as many other Impala drivers have experienced this same issue. Issue has happened at least 9 times within a 6 week period.

Takata recall I have a 2008 chevy Impala I'm having problems with engine reduce car is jerking and slowing down I had the patio replaced and one sensor and now I am having a throttlebody put on hopefully hopefully this stops the problem but this issue has been going on for a very long time other people I have communicated with that has the same car as me are having the same problems unfortunately I look these problems up in our cars for the 2008 chevy and was not on the recall list which I think that it should.

I recently purchased a 2007 chevy Impala, 3 weeks after purchase while on the highway, the car suddenly slowed down to a crawl, a reduced engine light came on the dash, being as we were on the highway to suddenly only being able to go 20mph was very frightening!! I was able to get the car to the side and had to have it towed home. After searching this issue online I found thousands of complaints from people with the same issue with this same car. I find it strange there was not a recall for this due to it being a serious safety issue. After calling a chevy dealer, they told me all they could do is hook it up for diagnostic tests but it would cost 175. 00 just to do that. This vehicle is still parked and we are unable to drive it and still have no idea what's wrong with it. I'm very concerned about driving it again for fear of this happening again and us maybe not being as lucky next time!!!! serious issue with thousands of complaints online. Simply type in �reduced engine power� make model and year of car and many people have had this same issue!!!!.

I was driving home from work and I was doing 55 mph,and the car started to hesitate,and the dashboard info read stabilitrac, engine safty mod, and reduced power. Then the car started to slow down,and when I tried to give it some gas the engine started to knock,and the temperature gauge went all the way up to the top. I pulled over and shut the car off,and opened the hood, and it wasn't even over heating. After letting it sit for a few minutes I started it up and went about five hundred feet and it did it again.

Driving along in traffic on main roadway and automobile stalled and would not restart.

"takata recall" while on the highway traction alert came on the message states the engine is slowing down and took it to o'reily's and states the sensor codes alerts that will cause my car to fail by shutting down and locking up if its not corrected and to see if there is any recalls on this malfunction.
