What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet impala. While driving 25 MPH, the electronic stability control warning indicator illuminated. While attempting to make a right turn, the front driver's side wheel seized, and the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. While test driving the vehicle, the mechanic experienced the failure.
Service traction control, engine power reduced. Message came on at highway speed and cut engine power reducing speed to 25MPH nearly causing an accident. Throttle body needs to be replaced apparently a common problem over multiple years why was there no recall or at least a notification there could be a problem instead of letting someone's car shut down on the freeway with no warning?
