I have a major problem that I was hoping someone could help me. Other day I drove to work everything was fine I go to my car 6 hours later my Chevy impala 3.5 2010 goes into limp mode getting a P0651 when i brought it to a mechanic which they are still trying to fiqured out they reset the computer and car drive as if nothing was wrong with it. However once I shut it off and started it again it went right back into limp mode car won’t go over 40 mph and engine shakes like crazy in this mode

I have the same issue! Did u ever figure out what it was? Here is a little info on mine.
In a nutshell i have a 2010 Chevrolet impala lt flex fuel 3.5l v6, it started just cutting out and when i gave it gas nothing happened, (limp mode). It kept giving me different codes via obd2 scanner. Every few days after I fixed 1 part it would throw another code. After putting a MAP sensor, MAF sensor, Camshaft position sensor, Oil pressure sensor, VVT solenoid, changed oil and filter, it's now giving me a U0100 Loss connection with ecm/pcm "A".
It has always ran and cranked right up until it threw this code about 2 weeks ago. Not it will not crank but has good power. It also will not let me view anything via obd2 now, it only gives me that code. Me not knowing alot about cars, I dont know if my computer is bad or if it's my TCU since they both work hand in hand. I'm so hesitant to put another $1 in this car but it's the only car I have and I have done so much work and put so much money in it already I cant afford not to get it running and start getting back on my feet. From what I have read the "A" has something to do with a short or module not working. I did get a multimeter and done a test best I could on my DLC, here is what I got the first time and the second after I was told my numbers didn't make sense by someone online.
Test #1 in ohms
6&14 was 62.0
4&5 was 1.2
1&16 was 150/160 jumping back and forth
Test #2 in volts
16&1 was 19v
16&4 / 16&5 was 25.1v
16&6 was 21.6
Test #3 Redone Them
6&14 was 62.0 and .03v
16&4 was .33 and 0.02v
6 to ground was 1.00v
14 to ground was 1.00v
6&14 was 88 to 103 jumping and 11.36v
Hopefully u figured out what was wrong with yours and maybe I can check mine for the same issue. Thanks
Sincerely, Misty

A google search turned up the following info (Chevy Impala U0100: Lost Communication with ECM/PCM “A” | Drivetrain Resource)....
Chevy Impala U0100: Lost Communication with ECM/PCM “A”

U0100 is a generic diagnostic trouble code, meaning it has the same definition for any vehicle made in the 1996 model year or newer (including the Chevy Impala). This code tells you that communication has been lost between the ECM/PCM (main computer) and a particular control module has been completely lost.
When a vehicle has U0100, most of the time, it won’t run or drive anywhere. The most common causes of U0100 are a bad PCM/ECM or TCM. It can be an exceptionally difficult code to diagnose.
