Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet impala. while driving at 50 mph the vehicle stalled. the stabilizer traction control and engine power reduced warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was towed to contact's residence. the local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the failure mileage was 68,000.

I was driving on the highway and received the following message, service stabilitrak - reduced engine power. this has come up a few times. this time though while still driving my engine power was greatly reduced with the error, "starter disabled, service throttle". this led to a drastic decrease in speed with zero control over throttle and moved to the shoulder and the car rolled to a halt.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet impala. the contact stated that the gears locked when trying to shift into the drive position. the contact stated that the transmission had trouble shifting into second gear. the vehicle would make a high pitch sound, jerk violently and finally shift into the gear. the contact would have to drive real slow in order to get going and the vehicle lost power going up hills. the dealer h & h auto sales (1007 e stuart dr, galax, va 24333 (276) 236-7300) stated to bring the vehicle in but the contact would have to pay for the repairs. the dealer had already fixed the abs system and the accelerator pedal. the vehicle also had leaky valve covers and had been to the dealer multiple times. the vehicle was sold to the contact with a recall that had to be repaired. the repair was done at the dealer jeff johnson chevrolet (2533 carrollton pike, woodlawn, va 24381 (276) 779-4620). the manufacturer had not been called yet. the failure mileage was 183,500.

Get an error out of nowhere stating service stabilitrack, loss of engine power.

Driving at about 70mph my check engine light came with with the reading service stability track, engine reduced power an disabled started, service throttle instantly i loss all rmps an my steering wheel almost fully locked while the car was still on motion. luckily i was able to jus barley veer off the road into safety. why would a car company have something like this in thier vehicles. that would lock the steering wheel while going at accelerated speeds

While in motion my 2011 chevy impala up a highway my vehicle dash will come up and say stabilitrak disabled traction control disabled then engine power reduced then the vehicle will begin to not steer correctly then i will have to pull over and restart the vehicle it then repeats itself after a short period of time

January 2019 was driving on a very congested interstate 95 at the posted speed limit of 65. a warning popped up on my dash board.service stabil trak engine in reduced power. it was like i longer controlled my car. the speed suddenly dropped. i went from 65mph to maybe 30mph. it felt like my brakes were being applied . i became scared and almost started to panic. but because i was in the far right lane i was able to pull off the interstate. i sat there on the side of the interstate with my heart racing and my hands locked on the steering wheel so hard they cramped up. i turned off my car and removed the keys from the ignition. i thanked god i was alone in that car. i thanked god the car behind me was not tailgating me. i waited for about 5 minutes and then put the key back in the ignition and started the car up. the warning was gone but the service engine light remained on. i was scared to death to merge back onto the interstate so i put on my flashers and drove on the shoulder at 20-30mph until i got ...

I keep getting errors of check stabilitrak engine power reduced i have changed the throttle body

You really want to know what i think? ok...here's what i think. i think that is beyond comprehension and personally i think it's illegal that gm can get away with not having to put out a recall for the "engine power is reduced" issue that just about every make and model of gm vehicles have. it's not only time consuming to try and figure out what the fix would be because it's not always the same thing wrong on each vehicle (and when you do have it fixed it doesn't last very long until the "engine power is reduced" warning comes back), it's also very expensive but the biggest problem is that it's extremely dangerous. the power is reduced and actually turns the car engine off no matter if you're driving or not. it shut my 2011 chevrolet impala engine off as i was driving down the interstate. thank god there was very little traffic or it could have been catastrophic. i didn't realize how big of a problem this was until i started researching the problem. it's absolutely criminal that you pay your hard earned money for a vehicle and it not only isn't what you thought you ...

I was driving on the interstate and a message came up saying "engine power is reduced". it was during rush hour and i almost got rear ended because my vehicle slowed down to about 15 miles per hour.

I was driving on i-695 (in baltimore) with my 3 daughters i received "service stabilitrak, traction control, engine power reduced" message while driving around 65 mph. the engine and tracking light came on and the messages would not go away. i was frighten and hopeful that we would not only make it to our destination but then back home again. fortunately we did but the very next day i have researched this issue. it seems to be a ongoing issues and maybe cost me hundreds of dollars to repair. that makes me nervous because i am a single mother with only one source of income.

Takata the problem that is wrong with my car is the engine power reduce is always come on and when i'm on the interstate or highway my speed reduce and my car can shut off at any time while driving and it can cause a bad wreck. the problem been happen for a minute now

Why is there not a recall on stability traction control? i see thousands of complaints on the internet for gm vehicles. it seems to me that gm just doesn't care enough after the sale. i just bought 2011 impala and now the stabalitrack service light keeps coming on while going down the road. it will do this for no apparent reason but happens mostly when accelerating. using the cruise control on level road and dash warning light comes on and throws car out of cruise, decelerating while gages flip around all over the place. power loss and lack of acceleration are definitely safety issues. pulling out of my driveway onto michigan highway and i get halfway across highway and car stops. this highway is 55 mpg and while i would have had plenty of time to cross the lane, car looses all power. looking on the internet gives no help for a fix. i turned the stability traction control off, but the problem does not go away. i see on the internet that many people have taken there vehicle to the dealer garage only to get charged exorbitant prices ...

Reduced engine power, service stabilitrak and traction control. spent $300 to get the gas pedal sensor replaced 4 days ago and its doing it again. car loses power (i was i-65 going about 60 mph). shifts hard, too.
