I was involved in an accident I have a 2008 chevy. Impala. My cruise was set at 52 MPH and I applied my brake to release cruise and I applied my brake again I should of been going at least 25 MPH. I had to slam my brake and try to avoid hitting a vehicle with no lights on and I hit them. I couldn't turn my wheels or stop and the cop said I sled 80 ft that is at least 8 of my car lengths im confused I was not going over 52 then applied brakes I was told it could be my cruise control got stuck and or sped up to…
Out of no where while driving the display says "engine power reduced" and then switches to "service traction control". I have limited power, the check engine light comes on and so does the traction control light. I can drive the car to where I am going, but no acceleration.
