Today, 6-12-2022, driving on US Highway 80 at 65 mph headed toward Phenix City, AL from Columbus, GA, the the engine shuddered, then the "Stabilitrack Service Light" came on, along with the check engine light, and a message for "reduced engine power." Then, the engine suddenly cut out as I was going uphill between the Riverchase Exit and the Summerville Exit. Luckily, I was driving and not my wife. I was able to glide the car back to the right shoulder of the road under ZERO power, and shut the ignition down. Cars were passing me at 65-75 mph, and I was very fortunate not to have caused an accident. After sitting there for about 5 minutes in 96 degree heat and my wife freaking out in the passenger seat, I restarted the car and eased it to the Summerville Exit, and slowly drove home, about another 6 miles. We were damn lucky not to have been hit by another car, as this happened on a what is essentially a freeway. After researching this, it seems this is a common problem being reported on this Model, the Chevy Impala. I'm sure Chevrolet knows about this...the company should be forced to recall this car model and fix it before folks start getting killed due to total engine failure...especially at a high speed like I was driving.

The car was stopped at a stop sign, turned right onto the highway and the front wheels locked. The car would not move in any gear, even in neutral. A tow truck had to place front wheels on skids and drag onto the bed. The transmission repair shop never saw anything like it, all the gears on the trans axel were stripped smooth and metal fragments all over the inside of the transmission. Very dangerous situation if there would have been oncoming traffic.

After about 30000 miles the transmission solenoid(s) are going bad intermittently. It's going to be a costly repair for a part that costs around 25 dollars or so. This seems to have been a continuing problem on the 4T65E transmissions. When you are at a complete stop with the vehicle in drive and go to accelerate you get no response except for higher RPM's and then the transmission suddenly engages and you get a violent surge forward with a loud bang. GM knows about the problem and should initiate a recall to install new and improved solenoids.

The brakes are automatically stopping while driving on a city street. The transmission has a pressure valve code that will not give a definite reading.the airbags light stays on along with the ABS and stability trak light staying on.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

Vehicle randomly gives check engine light and reduced engine power, service stabilitrack. At this point engine power reduced to point that is very dangerous. While passing (safely) it came on and I was stuck in oncoming lane because I didn?T have the power to complete pass. Happens every week several times. This occurs while driving and sitting. Even in park it will occur. Completely random whether driving, sitting, or in park running.

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.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Impala. Since 2015, the contact had to replace the transmission on three separate occasions. During each failure, the vehicle would not accelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal and a yellow warning indicator appeared. On the first occurrence, the contact had the vehicle towed to ferman Chevrolet of tampa (9751 E adamo dr, tampa, fl, 813-623-2411) and the contact paid for the transmission replacement. For the other two failures, the contact had the vehicle towed and serviced at an independent mechanic. The contact also stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired for the air bag warning indicator. The transmission was replaced. The failure mileage was unknown.

After being stopped and then accelerating, the transmission is sticking and then will kick in very hard, like you are being hit in the rear-end. It does not do it all the time, has been doing it for a while off and on, and it is now starting to do this more often. I have seen the same complaint from many other Impala owners.

- Lorain, OH, USA

- Chester, PA, USA

After turning and backing out of a store parking lot, I put my car back into drive. About five or ten feet later my final drive shattered and my vehicle became completely immobile. I was unable to move my vehicle out of the way of traffic. I am very fortunate that this issue did not occur while I was driving on the highway or a crowded street. For my transmission to have catastrophic failure at a meager 76,000 miles is absolutely absurd. Transmission was cared for according to manufacturer's recommendations.

Anytime I go to accelerate after coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, red light, or etc the car hesitates and then jerks forward. The car hesitates and loses power. While driving down a busy city road the car turned off. I had to try and steer the vehicle to the side of the road. The steering wheel would barely turn.

My transmission bangs into gear from starting in drive from a stop. Not all the time but still happens.

- Holbrook, MA, USA

4T65E transmission. I stop at a stop sign and go take off and my car won't move forward. I could get almost home in second gear and then nothing at all would work to move the car forward. I had reverse and still do but I cannot move forward in any gear. Code P1811. I had it looked at and when the transmission was open there was a piece of metal that was just lying there about an inch long. He said it was a missing apply lug that broke off one of the apply bands and that I would have to replace the transmission or have a complete rebuild. I just think a transmission should last more than 7 years. And I read this is common for that transmission but it happens more in 2000-2002 models.....but I guess it happens with the newer ones also.

When proceeding from a stop the car doesnt want to go then all of S sudden it takes off jerking my head backwards.a transmission company diagnosed it as a seal in the transmission. It seems to go back as far as 2004. Im almost afraid to drive the car not wanting to lurch into a car in front of me. A simple replacement of said seal with a larger one would fix the problem. It shouldn't happen at 95000 miles
