2009 Chevrolet Impala electronic stability control (esc) problems

“WARNING SAYS ENGINE POWER DOWN. GM DEALER SAID RECALL EXPIRED FOR THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER 100,000 MILES I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER RECALL.”

“POWER REDUCES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF I SLOW BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC IT JERKS LIKE BRAKES ARE STILL ENGAGED. ACTS LIKE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. THIS CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET RUN INTO FROM BEHIND. THERE WAS A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR. THE MILEAGE WAS NOT ENOUGH TO COVER MY VECHILE. THERE SHOULD BE NO MILEAGE LIMIT. *TR”

“I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE CAR LOT AND THE SENSORS KEEP GOING OFF, THE SEAT BELT DOESN'T LOCK UP, SOMETIMES IT SAYS ENGINE IS HOT TURN OF AC WHEN IT ISN'T ON. AND WHEN TURNING IT'S WILL SOMETIMES MAKE A VIBRATING NOISE THAT WON'T ALLOW ME TO GO THEN THE ACCELERATOR KICKS BACK IN TO GO. *TR”

“WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR IN MOTION IT COMPLETELY LOSES POWER. HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE ON HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE, AND IN TOWN ROADS. SO PROBLEM OCCURS AT ANY SPEED, AND RESULTS IN VEHICLE COASTING TO A STOP AS THE STEERING AND BRAKES STOP WORKING TOO. HAS HAPPENED TO ME HUNDREDS OF TIMES AS WE CAN NOT PIN POINT PROBLEM, AND HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS DIFFERENT PARTS TRYING TO SOLVE IT. WHEN POWER LOSS OCCURS THERE IS VERY LITTLE TO NO TIME AT ALL FOR DRIVER TO COAST & STEER VEHICLE & OCCUPANTS TO SAFETY AREA ON SIDE OF ROAD. THE DASHBOARD INFORMATION CENTER WILL STATE "STARTING DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE" ALSO ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND "SERVICE STABLITRAK." A NEW THROTTLE HAS BEEN PUT IN VEHICLE AND STILL DOES SAME THING. OVER THE YEAR IVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE IVE NOTICED IT DOES IT MORE IN WARM WEATHER. AFTER VEHICLE COAST TO A STOP AND IS PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF, WAIT 5 TO 10 MINUTES THEN VEHICLE WILL START UP AND NO INFORMATION OR LIGHTS DISPLAY IN DASH CENTER, LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.”

“REACCURING PROBLEM WITH GRINDING ON FRONT WHEELS WITH TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTING ON CONTROL PANEL. HAVE HAD WHEEL HUBS REPLACED WHICH HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF OTHER IMPALA OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE GRINDING OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION WHEN MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD MOSTLY WHEN TURNING BUT HAS OCCURED WHEN JUST MOVING FORWARD, MOSTLY ON CITY AND SUBURBAN STREETS. THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND CONTINUES TO DATE. NEED HELP AND ADVICE PLEASE.”

“THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE WE ARE DRIVING OUR CAR. AND I'M WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT, OR THEY MAY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DON'T WANT TO DISABLE THE AIR BAGS BUT NOT KNOWING WHY THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAGS IS COMING ON. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT ON THE 2006-2014 IMPALA'S. AND PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THERE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. PLUS OUR SERVICE OUR TRACTION CONTROL KEEPS COMING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT. SO I'M WORRIED THAT THIS CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT OR IF THEY WILL JUST DEPLOY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.”
