Recently reported VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL problems on 2009 Chevrolet Impala

While driving on roads and interstates, i frequently receive a dash notification "engine power reduced" and my service traction control and check engine light comes on. when this happens, my vehicle loses speed and cannot accelerate above 40mph - dangerous, especially on an interstate. the notification lights and symptoms occasionally go away after turning the engine off and on, only to come back later. i cannot find and answer to this problem.

Lately, i have been having issues with the acceleration of my vehicle. every so often, my engine light comes on and i get a "engine reduced" notification, and my vehicle slows down. whenever i reach 40mph, my hp meter drops and my car starts shaking. there has even been a time when my car would completely shut off and display "ignition disabled". each time this has happened, the vehicle was moving on a highway. i went to a shop to get the error codes and i will upload them.

I started my car and the check engine light and service traction control lights both came on. i got on the highway and tried to accelerate to merge into the lane and my car would not accelerate and the steering wheel locked. luckily i was able to get into the emergency lane before my car shut off, but i was very close to being blasted by an oncoming semi truck. this could've been fatal to me if i had not gotten over in time.

I was driving alone on the highway and noticed that the rmp gauges was going up and down, then suddenly a message on the dash read, service traction control, then a few seconds later another message read, engine power reduced and the car would not pick up any speed. this was very scary and confusing because the next day i had no isses but has now it did the same thing today. please help.

As i go down the road the engine light comes on and the stabletrek waring trackion light also comes on light and power reduce engine power light comes on but not all the time it goes off after a day or so and than no one can fine the problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet impala. while attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle did not move and the check engine indicator illuminated. the contact stated that the failure recurred several times. the vehicle was taken to george matick chevrolet (14001 telegraph rd, redford, mi 48239, 313-531-7100) where it was diagnosed that the accelerator pedal needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was approximately 154,000.

What has to happen before something is done about this problem ? traction control light and reduce engine power light comes on going down the interstate and the car shuts down and you have to try and get car pulled over to the side of the road without hitting someone or getting hit . this is a very common problem with this vehicle and nothing is being done about it . i would really like a response on this problem . this happens a lot so your date you want incident happening is really not right .

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet impala. while operating the vehicle, the abs sensor suddenly illuminated and the vehicle failed to accelerate normally. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 124,500.

Car hesitates on acceleration from a stop. rpms go up but car goes very slow, like if it has lost a lot of power. once it stops hesitating it bangs into gear and speeds forward. it can possibly cause a crash if driver is not aware its hesitating.

Reduced engine power

Takata recall everytime i drive my vehicle 5 seconds the car jerks makes loud sound, starts beeping, messages appear flashing back and forth engine power reduced, service traction control, car slows down, car jerks and chugs, makes loud sound, beeping noise from message board, throttle something appears, steering wheel locks, car stops, can't steer car out of road, won't crank, my car sits in the road.

Tl* the contact's boyfriend owns a 2009 chevrolet impala. on several occasions, while the contact was driving her boyfriend's vehicle at normal speeds, the vehicle independently slowed down. the contact pulled over to restart the vehicle. while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle accelerated rapidly and the traction control indicator illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 150,000.

After starting my car and pressing on the accelerator car starts to jerk lights flicker and the message service traction control. the car will sometimes lose power. and does this while driving and will not accererate. i have changed the accerator petal positioning sensor as well as the battery. i do not feel safe driving this care whatsoever. and i've seen that many other impalas have had this issues. this has happened many times. i should not have to pay for repairs when this is clearly a manufacturer issue.

While accelerating the traction control kicks in and cannot accelerate. this has happened while backing up, driving straight, and turning. it has mainly been happening while driving in the city. when i push the gas pedal the car doesn't move. i have almost been hit by other vehicles while stuck.
