It had snowed overnight and I was driving 60 miles per hour going downhill when the traction control light and the engine light came on and then where the odometer reading is it said engine power reduced and then check traction control and check stabilizer. I did make it to work as the car shock as the car felt like it was going to die. I did let it sit all day while I was at work and then when I started it the engine light was still on and it ran ok. I took it across the street and parked it at the Chevrolet dealership and since it is Sunday they are not open and I will stop by in the morning to let them know what is wrong to have them check it out. We have had this car for a year and considering not owning another chevy.

Cpsc: 2009 chevy Impala: consumer stated due to traction issues while driving, the vehicle will drop from the current driving speed to 5 mph. The consumer stated the traction control light illuminated and the power to the vehicle was reduced to almost none.

I was driving at highway speed (60 mph) on a two lane road. Temperature was below freezing, no ice or snow. Suddenly a bell sounded, the "service traction control" blinked on the display, the traction light came on, and then the vehicle suddenly reduced power, and "engine power reduced" displayed alternately with the "service traction control" warning. I was scared, but had about 8 miles to drive to my home town. I pulled to the shoulder at about 40 mph, turned on my flashers, and continued on to my home. If this had happened with ice on the road, as there had been that morning on my way to work, a crash would no doubt have occurred as these roads are very slippery in winter.

I started my car and the check engine light and the service traction control lights both came on. My back tires then began to spin when driving and the car made a scary noise.

I was at a stop sign and the reduced engine power, check traction control lights came on. The code came up I had it checked it is the accelerator pedal position sensor this can be a very dangerous occurrence . Nhtsa please look at these complaints it is a 75 dollar part and labor of 4 hours. Im paying for part and doing myself I need some reimbursement or payment of this to shop.

This is the 1st time I am filing a complaint, but this complaint has happened multiple times! my wife is afraid to drive this car! my check engine and traction control light comes on. The dash alternates between "service traction control" and "reduced engine power. " this is really frightening on the interstate when the engine begins to reduce power and you are surrounded by fast moving vehicles. The fault has been checked multiple times, but the diagnostic check reveals bogus faults unrelated to the traction control fault. I have learned that when this happens, I need to pull off the road, turn off the ignition, open the door and wait for the dome light to go off. Then I can restart and go on my way. This happens about once per month and has done it for 2 years. Can't wait until I can afford to buy a different vehicle. I have talked with other Chevrolet owners and they experience this same fault, but nothing is wrong with the traction control.

I am having similar issues as everyone else, when driving on the freeway, I was going about 70 mph and than my service traction control light came on followed by engine power reduced with the mil light, the car speed immediately decreased to about 50 mph, no accident occurred, pulled over and let it sit for awhile than restarted it. It is intermittent and occurs randomly. It is safety concern as this can cause an accident. The air bag light also comes off and on, I had taken to chevy dealer and was advised the air bag sensor needed to be replaced, was about $500 in work, and it was not covered under my extended warranty. I am not able to afford the repair so I am driving in a vehicle where if their is an accident, the air bags will not deploy.

I have a 2010 Chevrolet Impala lt with 65,000 miles. I was almost in an accident. A deer ran onto the highway on may 12,2013. I was going 60 mph and then made a sudden stop. The next day my check engine light plus the traction control system light came on. . . . Now, I only had this car not even 2months and making payments and I am having problems with it (already). Any other car that I had have in the past I made sudden stops and check engine lights never comes on. Whats going on with the Chevrolet Impalas? they look nice but they are sssoooo not worth the cost to purchase or to get repaired. This is the only bad investment I have ever made in my life. I should have stuck with my Mazda. I will let it be known to anyone who ask me about Chevrolet to dont even bothered. There are better cars than the Chevrolet. This car is also a gas guzzler. I put $50 in the tank every 5 days when driving locally. I only work 10 minutes from my house. Everytime you stop you loose gas mileage on your dic the gas is great on the highway though. Like I said the worst investment I have ever made. Chevrolet. . . . Im so upset and disappointed.

The traction control light came on before the snow and ice came and then on my way to work with no warning when the brakes were applied I had no brakes at all. I slid right through a busy intersection with no warning. The abs braking system does not work at all in the snow and ice. I was very lucky the cars were spaced out, that kept me from a very serious accident. I have read online that alot of other people are experiencing the exact same problem with the same make,model and year of car. My question is why have they not issued a recall on the 2004 chevy Impala before it kills or seriously injures other people.

2008 an up chevy Impala traction control light an check engine light plus engine power reduce. Its actually the sensor on your gas pedal what will happened without warning the car will drop to 5 mph. While you are driving and stay like that I took it to the chevy dealer an they explain to me what's the problem its a very serious defect that can cause a rear end crash to the losing the amount of power. The chevy dealership explained to me that they have a lot of problems with the chevy Impala gas pedal. This is a serious issue an need to a recall for these makes an models.

The 2010 Impala was at hwy speeds at approx 65mph. The traction control light came on and the check engine light and the message display was flashing traction control failure. The lights stayed on. It also said engine at reduced speeds . The traction control failed at hwy speeds which left me coasting to reduced speeds and then the car shut off at 20 mph with no power steering or braking. I was able to coast off the highway into a parking lot off the service road.

I have not had an incidence but very concerned about the malfunction that is going on with my vehicle at this time. . I noticed a scrubbing/grumbling noise when I would turn the wheel either way left or right. After vehicle being put on machine for testing it was discovered that the upper strut mounts and bearing were worn and noisy on front struts. . . . . . Also my abs and traction control light both came on at the same time and would not go off, the information system in vehicle recommended brakes be service. . . . . The results from car being tested showed both front hubs have slack and both front wheel speed sensor harness are coming apart inside wire installation. The codes for abs/traction control is. . . C0040 00. C0040.

I was driving on the interstate when I rec'd the following messages: service traction control and reduced engine power. The engine light and the traction control lights also came on. I was able to go approx 50-55 mph. I was very lucky that I was near an exit. As I was exiting, a message came on telling me that the power was being turned off or stopped. I can't remember the exact words. I then had no ability to accelerate and my only option was to pull off the side of the road. Even though I was able to pull off the side, it was not in a safe place and traffic was going by at the speed of 55-60 mph and I was barely over the white line. I called a tow truck, and had it towed to my mechanic. This happened at 4:15 on a Friday afternoon. My mechanic didn't look at it until Monday and could not find anything wrong with it. He drove it all over and he checked everything he could think of. I trust this mechanic. He did say that he was afraid he would have to send me to the dealer to have it looked at. I came home, googled the problems and ended up at edmunds. Com in a forum for chevy owners with this issue. While no one was hurt this time, that is just a blessing. How many people will need to be hurt, maimed or even killed before they issue a recall and do something about a problem that is very obvious. How much money and time will I spend taking this to a dealer who doesn't know about the problem and won't diagnose it correctly the first time? America wants americans to buy american made products. I owned a foreign vehicle for 9 years and it never left me stranded the way this Chevrolet Impala did after owning it for 7 months! I think it is past time something was done. For those of us who have the problem now and for those who are out there just waiting for this to happen to them. Safety should come first!.

My Impala's service traction control and engine power reduced lights came on 05/07/12 and I loss power to my car. I took my car in to a chevy dealership to have it serviced, I was told after they diagnosed it that I needed a new throttle body so I had it replaced for the cost of $647. 00 1 week later I was driving home and my car loss power and shutdown completely luckily I wasn't in heavy traffic and was able to pull over to the side of the road. I tried to restart it and white smoke came from the tailpipe so I had it towed back to the same dealership they told me after looking @ it that now I needed a new engine which would cost me $6200 I didn't get any lights on the dashboard or any other indication that I was having engine trouble and they cant tell me why it happened. I have my car serviced like clockwork @ the dealership spending good money for supposedly good quality service instead of some rinky dink garage but I guess that didn't matter. This happened just after warranty expired, I have 9100 miles and 3 car payments left.

The service traction control light is on the dash panel and my car started to shake and pull to one side when the brakes were applied. The problem quickly grew into the cat constantly pulls to one side and the steering feels sloppy and loose if that makes sense. The traction control doesn't work but will randomly kick in while driving and the car instantly feels as if the brakes are being applied and grinder but the worse part is how the pulling to one side becomes a quick grab and jerk to one side and has nearly caused me several accidents and I cannot relax and drive. I am always tense and ready to fight to keep my car going straight and now with the bad michigan winter its impossible to drive on some days. I've been told that I need a new traction control pump which is going to cost around $2500 and up depending on what they find but will automatically start at $2500. That cost is ridiculous and I have talked to prob approx a hundred people who either had the same problem or knew of someone who does, over the past few years. My car is now parked and I have to beg for rides to work because its winter and I cannot put myself and others in danger with this issue. I have to work and transport kids to different events and feel that this part has to be defective from the start if there's that many people with this same issue. And all of the same exact complaints found online. Please I'm begging you to check into this issue to see if a recall is necessary. Thank you so much.

Our 2001 Impala randomly started having the abs/traction light warning come on. When this happens it is spontaneous and without warning. My brakes lock up when I try to stop, when in a complete stop and I press the gas the brakes make the car hesitate to move forward, when turning the vehicle the car sputters the brakes lock up and I feel like I'm driving on ice. I honestly do not know when or if my car is actually going to stop or even move forward while I am on the road. This has been happening for about 3 years now and I have had it looked at by two different independent shops and have spoken to several mechanics just to get an idea of what they think is wrong. I have spent around $1000. 00 in repairs and having it diagnosed. Nothing has prevented the abs/traction error from occurring immediately after each fix. This problem has got to be announced and fixed by Chevrolet immediately before someone or an entire family gets hurt or even killed. If I was the only fluke then I would understand but there are thousands within the 2001-2005 range that has this same problem. Don't be like Toyota and wait til numerous people have died to fix a simple problem.

For the past 2 weeks my traction on light appears and when turning right, the right front end hesitates and bogs down and makes a whirring noise. I thought it might be my brakes. Once last week after this happened the abs light appeared. I immediately stopped and turned the car off. When restarting the lights disappeared. The abs light has not since appeared but the traction on light and effects continue.
