You took it to the dealer- and they have no answer? This is a new car- under warranty- there is no excuse for not being perfect, much less for trying to kill you in traffic- GM has had enough problems with killer cars, you think they would show more concern- amazing- AMAZING- just keep taking it back, if the service department blows you outta there another time ask to get in touch with the district rep- they must be aware of this, there are no doubt other impalas doing the same

I have a 2014 and it does the same thing. I was told it had something to do with the transmission type

Was curious to know if you ever figured outwhat was that problem with your transmission. I think my car is doing the same?

pressure control solenoid is the issue. I have the same problem and the chevy service dept. is clueless or maybe not.
