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.

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.
Traveling at approximately 65 mph with cruise control engaged, i pressed the acc button to increase speed. i released the button when i reached the desired speed (72 mph) and the vehicle continued to accelerate. the pace of the acceleration was much faster than normal use of this feature. (it felt as if the accelerator was floored). the speed increased to between 85 and 90 mph before i could react. i turned the cruise off and immediately the speed began to decrease. this occurred on an interstate that was fairly flat.
