2009 Chevrolet Impala complaints

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I HAVE A 2009 CHEVY IMPALA WITH 100,000 MILES ON IT. THE 1ST TIME THIS ISSUE HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, ON A SIDE STREET, IN JULY 2019. OUT OF THE BLUE, THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS APPEARED: ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. IMMEDIATELY MY CAR STARTED RUNNING HORRIBLY (IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, WAS CHUGGING, AND ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING). I PARKED IT. LATER I STARTED IT AND ALL WARNINGS WERE GONE, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. . THE NEXT DAY I STARTED IT AND JUST THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. 3RD DAY I STARTED IT, ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. DROVE IT TO A SHOP,.RIGHT BEFORE I PULLED IN, THE LIGHT TURNED OFF! THEY SCANNED IT ANYWAY & SAID THAT NOTHING CAME UP. THE CAR HAS DRIVEN JUST FINE, NO WARNINGS OR LIGHTS UNTIL 11/25/2020. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20MPH, TURNED RIGHT ON A SIDE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF THE EXACT MESSAGES AS BEFORE CAME ON. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED RUNNING SLOW AND "CHUGGING"AGAIN. I PARKED IT. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN LATER, ALL THE SAME MESSAGES WERE STILL THERE. IT'S DEFINITELY SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS & SINCE THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS NERVOUS TO DRIVE IT FAR BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE WHEN IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I WENT ON A CHEVROLET FORUM & READ THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I WAS VERY PLEASED ABOUT THAT. I PUT IN MY VIN & IT STATED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS. SO I CALLED GM THIS MORNING. THE REP SAID THEY'RE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR IT. SHE THEN SAI

CAR HAS HAD SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON FOR YEARS PRIOR TO BEING INHERITED. 4 CODES WERE PULLED INLCUDING: 1. B0021 PASSENGER SEAT SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT LOOP OPEN. 2. B001B PASSENGER PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT LOOP 2 OPEN. 3. B001B PASSENGER PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT LOOP 2 HIGH RESISTANCE 4. B001B PASSENGER PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT LOOP 2 HIGH RESISTANCE IT APPEARS SOME 2009 IMPALAS WERE RECALLED REGARDING THE SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAG WIRING AND THIS ONE MAY BE RELATED.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ON THE HWY GOING 60MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE BOTH ON. WENT TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN INSPECTION (WHICH I FAILED DUE TO THE AIRBAG) AND HE INFORMED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL. I DID, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE RECALL IS CLOSED AND I CAN'T GET THIS FIXED UNLESS I COME UP WITH A LOT OF MONEY. I EXPLAINED I NEVER GOT ANYTHING FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE RECALL. HOW CAN I GET MY CAR FIXED ON A CLOSED RECALL?

I CRASHED HEADING DOWN A HILL .I CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE AFTER MY CAR SUDDENLY REVVED UP,GAINED SPEED AS I HEADED TOWARDS A TELEPHONE POLE ,WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING ,BRAKES BECAUSE MY CAR QUIT AFTER GAINING SPEED DUE TO THE RPMS AMPING UP ON THEIR OWN AND GOING DOWN A HILL. WHEN I HIT THE POLE,THE TELEPHONE LINES SNAPPED AND I WAS TRAPPED IN THE CAR BECAUSE THEY LANDED ON MY DRIVER WINDOW AND WERE SHOOTING OUT SPARKS AS IF THEY WERE ROMAN CANDLES AND A FIRE STARTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR IN SOME PINE STRAW. WHEN THE FIREMEN WAS ABLE TO GET ME OUT OF THE CAR HE CAME TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND BY THEN I HAD TAKEN MY SEAT BELT OFF AND THE FIREMAN ADVISED ME TO GET OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE IF I WAS ABLE AND I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS SCARED TO LET OFF THE BRAKE BECAUSE I THOUGHT FOR SOME REASON BEING OUT OF MY HEAD THAT THE CAR WAS GOING TO ROLL IF I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND HE TOOK HIS HAND AND SLAMMED THE CAR UP IN TO PARK BECAUSE I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE I HAD NOT PUT IT IN PARK. HE SAID YOU CAN LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT ROLL AND I SAID I'M TOO SCARED .I ASKED..CAN I PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND HE SAID YES AND WHEN I DID IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THEN I CONTINUED TO COME OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND HOP TO THE SIDEWALK WITH MY FEET TOGETHER JUST IN CASE ANYTHING WAS HOT AND TO KEEP FROM GETTING ELECTROCUTIED JUST IN CASE SOMETHING WAS STILL HOT AROUND US. WHEN I WAS STRUCK BY THE AIRBAG THE AND THE SEAT BELT DID ITS JOB I SUPPOSE BUT FOR SOME REA

PURCHASED VEHICLE AND THE FOLLOWING DAY THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE TAKEN IN FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. LATER ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THE AIR BAG IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT STARTED TO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND AND THEN STOPPED. JUST RECENTLY IT BEGAN MAKING THE KNOCKING SOUND AGAIN WHEN I OPEN MY CAR DOOR, AS WELL AS CLOSE IT. IT LASTS ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND THEN STOPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

I KNOW THIS SHOULDNT BE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT ON MOST EVERY IMPALA THE AC DOES A CLICKING NOISE AND BLOWS HOT WHEN THE AC IS ON AND BLOWS COLD WHEN THE HEAT IS ON ( WHICH COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANT GET THE WINDOWS TO DEFROST) MOST PEOPLE I KNOW THEIR IMPALA DOES THIS. THIS SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL. WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OUT THERE DOING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE CAR WILL NOT EVEN BE RUNNING AND THE TICKING NOISE WILL START IF YOU SHUT A CAR DOOR BESIDE IT.

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY..... PULLED OUT ONTO 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, DASH SAID "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", BUT DID NOT SEEM TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOW ON POWER. DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THEN CAR SUDDENLY DIED. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD (WITH THREE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE), TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT DISPLAY SAID "STARTING DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE". WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND CAR RESTARTED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, NO REDUCED POWER BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMMENTS ONLINE FROM OTHERS WHO OWN SIMILAR GM VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. WE HAVE ALSO HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OUR 2011 SUBURBAN, ALTHOUGH NO STALLING. THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL FOR ALL 2008 - 2011 GM VEHICLES TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE, MOST LIKELY ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR.

WARNING SAYS ENGINE POWER DOWN. GM DEALER SAID RECALL EXPIRED FOR THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER 100,000 MILES I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER RECALL.

I HAVE PAID TO HAVE ACTUATORS ON BOTH SIDES REPAIRED FROM ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASED 5-11-2012 TO 6-2020 A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES. THE LAST TIME IN DECEMBER 2029 AND IT STARTED CLICKING A FEW WEEKS AFTER REPAIR. IT STARTS CLICKING AS SOON AS I UNLOCK THE DOORS AND CONTINUES TO CLICK AFTER LOCKING DOORS. I RETIRED DUE TO HEALTH FIVE YEARS AGO AND UNABLE TO GET ANOTHER CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP REPAIRING ACTUATORS. I HAVE WRITTEN TO GM AND CALLED ASKING THAT THIS BE MADE INTO SOMETHING THEY WOULD REPAIR NO CHARGE AS I HAVE SINCE TALKED WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TO USE THE THE CAR DRIVE MY HUSBAND TO VA FOR TREATMENTS AND DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND IT GET VERY WORRISOME AS I HAVE TO DRIVE 140 MILES ROUND TRIP EACH TIME. ALL I ASK IS FOR GM TO AKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND FIX MY CAR.

POWER REDUCES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF I SLOW BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC IT JERKS LIKE BRAKES ARE STILL ENGAGED. ACTS LIKE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. THIS CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET RUN INTO FROM BEHIND. THERE WAS A RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR. THE MILEAGE WAS NOT ENOUGH TO COVER MY VECHILE. THERE SHOULD BE NO MILEAGE LIMIT. *TR

GEAR SHIFT IS STICKING IN PARK. *TR

SEATBELTS AREN'T LOCKING UP, WHEN TURNING IT'S GIVING ME DELAYS THEN NORMAL ACCELERATION KICKS BACK IN. *TR

JUST KEEPS SHOWING WARNING SIGNALS A TRACTION CONTROL. THE FRONT LEFT STRUT COVER IS CORRODED WHICH WAS TOLD TO ME EVENTUALLY THE STRUT WILL COME THROUGH THERE. SHOWING NO SIGNS OF THE FAN WORKING TO COOL THE CAR DOWN WHICH THEN READS ENGINE TOO HOT TURN OFF AC. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE CAR LOT AND THE SENSORS KEEP GOING OFF, THE SEAT BELT DOESN'T LOCK UP, SOMETIMES IT SAYS ENGINE IS HOT TURN OF AC WHEN IT ISN'T ON. AND WHEN TURNING IT'S WILL SOMETIMES MAKE A VIBRATING NOISE THAT WON'T ALLOW ME TO GO THEN THE ACCELERATOR KICKS BACK IN TO GO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V507000 (AIR BAGS). THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED AT DIAMOND CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC LOCATED AT 768 WASHINGTON ST, AUBURN, MA 01501 HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR IN MOTION IT COMPLETELY LOSES POWER. HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE ON HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE, AND IN TOWN ROADS. SO PROBLEM OCCURS AT ANY SPEED, AND RESULTS IN VEHICLE COASTING TO A STOP AS THE STEERING AND BRAKES STOP WORKING TOO. HAS HAPPENED TO ME HUNDREDS OF TIMES AS WE CAN NOT PIN POINT PROBLEM, AND HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS DIFFERENT PARTS TRYING TO SOLVE IT. WHEN POWER LOSS OCCURS THERE IS VERY LITTLE TO NO TIME AT ALL FOR DRIVER TO COAST & STEER VEHICLE & OCCUPANTS TO SAFETY AREA ON SIDE OF ROAD. THE DASHBOARD INFORMATION CENTER WILL STATE "STARTING DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE" ALSO ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND "SERVICE STABLITRAK." A NEW THROTTLE HAS BEEN PUT IN VEHICLE AND STILL DOES SAME THING. OVER THE YEAR IVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE IVE NOTICED IT DOES IT MORE IN WARM WEATHER. AFTER VEHICLE COAST TO A STOP AND IS PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF, WAIT 5 TO 10 MINUTES THEN VEHICLE WILL START UP AND NO INFORMATION OR LIGHTS DISPLAY IN DASH CENTER, LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT HIT. THIS SAME ISSUE APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I SCANNED MY VEHICLE WITH A OBD 2 SCANNER AND NO CODE WAS DISPLAYED. I TRIED TO ERASE THE AIR BAG LIGHT BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. O AM WORRIED BECAUSE MY MOTHER IN LAW WHO IS 62 YEARS OLD DRIVES THE VEHICLE . THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE . I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER AND GAVE MY VIN NUMBER. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS THIS SAFETY ISSUE OR AIR BAG RECALL LIGHT PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING OIL PRESSURE LOW STOP ENGINE COMES ON IN MY DIC EVEN THOUGH MY OIL IS PERFECTLY FINE MY REAR TURNING SIGNAL IS NOT FLASHING BUT IS LIT AND WORKING FOR EVERYTHING ELSE MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHORTS OUT AT TIMES EVEN AFTER I REPLACED THE SENSOR PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF EVEN WITH PASSENGER INSIDE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V507 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 14V355 I BELIEVE THE TRUE PROBLEM IS THE BCM THE DOOR ACTUATORS ARE FAULTY

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN STARTING, DRIVING & STANDING STILL.

THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON OUR PREVIOUS 2009 CHEV IMPALA, IN THAT THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE STARTED SHOWING ON THE DIC INTERMITTENTLY, THEN CONSTANTLY. I AM FINDING MULTIPLE CASES OF CHEVROLET VEHICLES DOING THIS ON ONLINE FORUMS, WITH HIGH BILLS FROM CHEVY DEALERS, BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED. I AM ATTACHING A PHOTO OF THE DAMAGE FROM HITTING A DEER THAT DID NOT DEPLOY AIRBAGS ON OUR PREVIOUS 2009 WAS TOTALED. WE JUST PURCHASED ANOTHER 2009 BECAUSE WE LOVE THE DESIGN OF THE CAR, BUT AFTER DRIVING 4.5 HOURS HOME, THE VERY NEXT DAY WE ARE SEEING THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE ON THIS CAR.

DROVE MY VEHICLE TO ATTEND CHURCH ON A SUNDAY MORNING. AFTER CHURCH, RETURN TO MY VEHICLE TO GO HOME. I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE GEAR. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE. I SHIFTED IT TO 2ND GEAR AND IT MOVED SLOWLY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I GOT NO PRIOR WARNING OF ANY PROBLEM BEFORE PARKING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IT SCARED ME BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE OCCURRED WHILE I WAS ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE ISOLATED BY THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS BECAUSE THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FINE PRIOR TO THIS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 117,000 MILES.

MY CAR KEEPS SAYING ENGINE REDUCE POWER

CAR WAS PARKED AT HOME ON STREET.WHEN I STARTED THE CAR SERVICE AIR BAGS MESSAGE WAS ON PANEL. CAR ONLY HAS 50,800 MILES. NO DEALERS WERE OPEN ON SATURDAY, AND I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK. MISSED A DAY OF WORK, AND MAYBE MORE DAYS DEPENDING ON REPAIR TIME.

REACCURING PROBLEM WITH GRINDING ON FRONT WHEELS WITH TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTING ON CONTROL PANEL. HAVE HAD WHEEL HUBS REPLACED WHICH HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF OTHER IMPALA OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE GRINDING OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION WHEN MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD MOSTLY WHEN TURNING BUT HAS OCCURED WHEN JUST MOVING FORWARD, MOSTLY ON CITY AND SUBURBAN STREETS. THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND CONTINUES TO DATE. NEED HELP AND ADVICE PLEASE.

IT WILL NOT CRANK I INSTALLED A BRAND NEW STARTER THE IGNITION SWITCH IS THE PROBLEM

I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK ON THE STREET IN MY COMMUNITY, AND LEFT IT RUNNING WHILE DROPPING SOMETHING IN A MAILBOX. TRIED TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE TO LEAVE, AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT. MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CONSOLE SHIFTER WOULD NOT BUDGE. I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE MY CAR JUST A FEW DOORS AWAY FROM HOME UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN MY SON CAME AND SHOWED ME HOW TO REMOVE THE CONSOLE COVER TO PRESS THE SILVER BUTTON AND RELEASE THE SHIFT. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT A BTSI (?) SOLENOID OR LOOSE WIRES. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? BEING STUCK COULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS TO SAFETY.

"TAKATA RECALL". I HAVE HAD THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE ALONG WITH THE RED INDICATOR ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR A FEW YEARS. I DO NOT SEE MY VEHICLE ON THE RECALL LIST. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? ANYTIME THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE WE ARE DRIVING OUR CAR. AND I'M WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT, OR THEY MAY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DON'T WANT TO DISABLE THE AIR BAGS BUT NOT KNOWING WHY THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAGS IS COMING ON. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT ON THE 2006-2014 IMPALA'S. AND PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THERE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. PLUS OUR SERVICE OUR TRACTION CONTROL KEEPS COMING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT. SO I'M WORRIED THAT THIS CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT OR IF THEY WILL JUST DEPLOY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

HAD CAR REPAIRED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS MALFUNCTIONING. I CANNOT AFFORD $900 FOR A NEW ONE. IS THERE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE?

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT HAS A AIRBAG MESSAGE ON THE DASH THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T WORK THE CAR WON'T TURN OVER

ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN YOU GO TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A STOP, THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL, CALIPER, OR SOMETHING IN THE DRIVETRAIN LOCKS UP AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PROCEED FORWARD MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE ONLY GOES FORWARD WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS THEN PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN NOW FOR 5 MONTHS AND THE CUSTOMER IS COMPLAINING THAT SHE ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENT, HOW EVER HERE AT DIESELZ MOTORSPORTS WE HAD REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION, FRONT ROTORS AND PADS AND OUTER TIE RODS. AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSIST.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE LAST RECALL FOR THE PASSANGER AIR BAG SENSOR IT DID NOT TURN THE LIGHT OFF AND THE DEALER SAYS THER IS A DIFFERANT ISSUE WITH IT AND THAT'S WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT THEY DID AS FAR AS TAPING THE WIRES OR REPLACING THE SENSOR. BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY DID NOTHING NOW THEY TELL ME THE PART IS 433.00 AND LABOR AND PROGRAMING IS ALMOST 1000.00. I SEE MANY CARS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE PASSANGER PRESENCE SENSOR MODULE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON KEEPS ME FROM GETTING THE CAR INSPECTED. BASICALLY IF YOU SIT IN MY PASSANGER SIDE FRONT SEAT IT CAN'T RECOGNIZE ANYONE SITTING THERE. ANY HELP WOULD BE WELCOME ON THIS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WARNING INDICATOR FOR THE RED AIRBAG SIGN DISPLAYED. CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT.

WHILE DRIVING ON ROADS AND INTERSTATES, I FREQUENTLY RECEIVE A DASH NOTIFICATION "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY VEHICLE LOSES SPEED AND CANNOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40MPH - DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON AN INTERSTATE. THE NOTIFICATION LIGHTS AND SYMPTOMS OCCASIONALLY GO AWAY AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON, ONLY TO COME BACK LATER. I CANNOT FIND AND ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM.

MY IMPALA HAS HAD AIRBAG ISSUES SINCE 2016 DISPLAY PANEL CONSTANTLY SAYS TO SERVICE AIR BAG ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I RECEIVED THE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE BACK IN 2016 AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY REWRAPPED THE WIRES UNDER PASSENGER SEAT AND SYSTEM WAS OK FOR AROUND 6 MONTHS THEN IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THINGS WITH SAME ISSUE. STATING TO SERVICE AIR BAG AND WHEN IN PASSENGER SEAT IS THE ONLY TIME IT SAYS THIS AND IT ALSO DISPLAYS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF.

THE CAR STARTED TO STATE THE AIRBAG NEEDED SERVICING. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ONLINE AND SAW THE RECALL FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL. RECALL NUMBER 273230. THE NHTSA NUMBER IS 16V507000. SEPARATELY, THE STEERING WHEEL IS INCREDIBLY STIFF WHEN STARTING THE CAR, AND WHILE MAKING TURNS. NEED BOTH ARMS TO FORCE THE CAR TO TURN. THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING FLUID. THE STEERING LOOSENS A SMALL AMOUNT WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE GAS.

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN THE VEHICLE LOCKS UP AND WILL NOT MOVE FORE ONE MINUTE.

SPEEDOMETER CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNT OUT THE ELECTRICAL WIRES
