| I own a 2008 chevrolet impala. today 11/03/2012 while driving to work the check engine light came on with a message indicating engine power reduced. i researched the issue and discovered the accelerator pedal sensor is malfunctioning and this causes the message and check engine to appear. this sensor affects the cars drivability and causes limited speed in the vehicle. i looked on google and there are several complaints regarding the same issue. i guess no one has reported it but it seems very common amongst chevrolet impala model cars 2006 and up. this is the email link with several other concerns regarding the accelerator pedal sensor: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f215e7e i also have a problem with my seat belt. the driver | |||

| Check airbag system indicator kept coming on in my 2008 chevrelet impala. i called the dealership to get repaired and they told me because i had over 36000 miles it was no longer covered. i had no problem with that , but the service manager indicated that it was a common problem. the dealership was able to make the repair the same day. i was informed that the trouble was with thefront passenger seatbelt retractor, which was common, and that it disabled the passenger airbag. | |||

| On two occasions this december i rented vehicles from both alamo and enterprise in boston, ma and minneapolis, mn respectively at airport locations. on both occasions i rented a 2008 chevrolet impala ls. in boston the wiper pump was defective, and in minneapolis the abs system was either not included or non-operating. in sunny weather, no one would have noticed either problem. but what i did notice is. on both cars the safety belts for the driver, passenger and rear passengers did not tension properly during low speed braking, and medium speed emergency braking, whereby occupants where thrown forward into whatever was in front of them. in my case it was the steering column a few times, and with others seats, and/or dashboard. i think this is the most serious problem, and should be addressed immediately. both were ls models, though they varied inside as to the controls on the center console. *tr | |||
