I was driving on a residential road and I took a turn onto a different residential road and right after I started to accelerate the check engine light came on. Right after, the service stabilitrak and service traction control light came on. The car started sputtering and when I started to stop the brakes locked on and off as I came to a stop. It continued to sputter every time I accelerated and the brakes continued to lock every time I had to engage them. I could barely get the car to drive faster than 25 mph. Once I got home I popped the hood and the engine seemed to be shaking.

My Chevrolet Impala was in motion when my ABS and trac sensor keeps coming on. Now it's happening everytime I drive. It almost locks on me when I'm driving and it scares me for my safety of my kids and myself in the vehicle. I looked up to to see what the problem could be and there has been a lot of complains for that 2012 model. My lights will flash on and off (trac sensor and ABS) and it makes a weird noise

70,000 miles, stabiltrak warning on startup and engine power loss. Error message was about a sensor, replaced the hub and the wiring harness to fix. So far no more problems but I've seen this issue countless times and I'm surprised there wasn't a recall yet.

I purchased this car used in 2014 with ~30,000 miles, and it presently has ~85,000 miles. In that time I have replaced 4 gas pedals because the alert triggered "service stabilitrak" tells the technician to replace the gas pedal - clearly not the problem. Essentially, when the defect occurs, engine power is reduced to where the car can barely get out of its own way which is really dangerous during highway rush hour (when folks drive more aggressively) or pulling onto a roadway from a dead stop. If I power the car down and restart it, the error will usually clear, but often reoccurs. Since it tends to happen on hot, sunny days (temp >75F) when the A/C is running, it feels like a wiring problem. The dealer service department suggested replacing the body control module, but could not guarantee that would resolve the issue. Based upon the number of complaints over a similar issue, it appears that GM has a problem that it is not willing to address with a recall or service bulletin.

Hello, I have been experiencing the following lights coming on since I have received my Impala with 60,000 miles on it. It tells me to service stable link, service traction control, the ABS slit stays on and I have replaced both hubs on the front. What else is there to do unless I rewire everything. This all happens when I first move the vehicle and during my trip.

- Ashland City, TN, USA

I have about 72,000 miles on my car and the service stabilitrak, service brake assist and service traction control messages come on and the ABS and electronic stability control light also are on. It happens when turning left or right and also the ABS kick in and effects the steering. I have replaced the right and left hub assemblies and it has not helped no codes are found when vehicle is scanned. This has been going on for several months. Thanks for your help. This will all happen in drive way and on city roads/highways.

Intermittently, the dic will sound an alarm and display the following messages:service stabilitrak, service traction control. When this happens I sometimes notice a decrease in engine power and/or grinding noises from the front end when I make turns. This has occurred at highway speeds and/or residential speeds and does not coincide with any rough or unusual driving conditions. It is hard to understand what causes it unless it is some kind of electrical short circuiting. I can turn the stabilitrak off and the messages and diminished mechanical performance will stop, but may re-appear weeks later. According to the reports I have read on-line, this is a common problem among Impala owners with cars of similar years and mileage. My car has only 40,000 miles. In an effort to fix the issue, other owners have reportedly replaced sensors, wires, wire harnesses, hub assemblies, throttle bodies, and brake components. General Motors needs to recall our cars in order to deal with this problem. None of these mechanical components should be failing so soon. Loss of engine power and braking ability while driving is a potentially deadly problem, and any mechanical issue this widespread among car owners should be subject to an official recall and should be remedied by the automaker at no charge to the public.

- Pepperell, MA, USA

Car has 68,000 miles. A few days ago the engine light came on, which disabled remote start. I didn't realize this until I went to get into the car. I'm in mi and this past week has been very cold. I jumped in and drove it to work (less than 3 miles). On the way, the traction light came on. No surprise, as it was a little slippery. No other problems. On way home from work: Car starts up fine, no warning lights at all at start. Its about 13* out. Almost home: Engine light comes on, traction light comes on, then right before turning on my road the stabilizer light comes on and reduce power light, car jerks and loses power like its going to stall out. It made it home. Next morning, engine light on but nothing else happens. I call around and dealership suggests I bring it in and hook it up to run a diagnostics for $98. I go over to parts store and have them run it first. Error codes show up that "don't really mean anything" and they reset the engine light. Runs a couple of days fine with no problems, lights coming on etc. Temp drops again and repeat the whole process all over. I bring to the dealership and they tell me it needs high pressure fuel pump and new lines, after they asked me if I ran E85 in it, which I do because that is what they suggested when I bought it! I can't afford the $900 right now and I picked it up. I called another dealership to get another estimate and I'm told that this is a common problem (we're seeing this all the time. It's a problem with running E85 in cold temps). That person suggests I run mao44 and prem unleaded in it and it should run fine for a while. I"M also told that this is not covered by the powertrain warranty and there has been no recall, even though "we're seeing this all the time".
