2009 Chevrolet Impala complaints

I HAVE GOTTEN IN TOUCH WITH GM AND CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO HAVE REFUSED TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE MY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN CHARGED 99$ PER VISIT TO JONES CHEVROLET AND STILL HAVE THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE. IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND INTERMITTENTLY GOES AWAY ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. IT STARTED OFF WITH THE LIGHT JUST TURNING ON WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR A ROUGH ROAD BUT NOW EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY IT COMES ON. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT AN AIR BAG ISSUES IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY AFTER MY WARRANTY IS UP HOWEVER THE AIR BAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED OR THE CAR HAS NEVER GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT SO I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHY IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR OF SUCH AN INTEGRAL SAFETY PART OF THE VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD LAST AND FUNCTION WITHOUT ISSUES FOR AT LEAST A LITTLE WHILE IF NOT FOR A LONG TIME AFTER THE INITIAL WARRANTY IS UP. I HAVE NOW SPEND IN THE UPWARDS OF $800 OUT OF POCKET TO TRY AND GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BUT GM HAS NOT BEEN COOPERATIVE AT ALL. I HAD TO LEAVE 5 VOICEMAILS TO AN ADVISOR TO CALL ME BACK AND SHE AND HER SUPERVISOR RUDELY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN ME A RESOLUTION AND IF GOD FORBID I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO DEPLOY BUT DIDN'T DO SO IT WOULD BE ON ME AND GM WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. I HAVE TRANSCRIPTS OF SERVICE AND RECORDED CALL FROM THEM TO PROVE THIS. PLEASE ASSIST.

A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON SAYS IT IS REDUCING SPEED AND THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER AND JUST DIE. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE. I RECEIVED A SPECIAL NOTICE RECALL BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THAT SINCE I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE THEY COULD NOT DO THE REPAIR. THE KEY IS ALSO STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT COME OUT DRAINING THE BATTER, AAA HAS COME OUT TWICE TO SWITCH THE BATTERY OUT FOR ME. THERE IS ALWAS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD.

AIRBAG SERVICE MESSAGE AND AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. PAID 269.36 4/22/2016 SO IT WOULD PASS STATE INSPECTION. LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS, NOW IT IS GIVING US THE SAME PROBLEM. RETURNED TO DEALER, SAID COST TO REPAIR WITH NEW HARNESS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT WOULD BE AROUND 250.00 MORE. THE GENERAL HAS A HUGE PROBLEM HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE INTERIOR LOCKS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,803. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

DOOR LOCKS! THE REAR CAR DOOR LOCKS (ACTUATORS) WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY FOB, OR WITH THE POWER DOOR LOCK BUTTON. THIS HAPPENED WITH THE CAR STOPPED. MY CHILDREN NOW HAVE TO WAIT FOR ME TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN TO UNLOCK THEIR DOORS MANUALLY. THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 32,000 MILES.

HEAT / AIR ACTUATOR. THE MOTOR THAT CONTROLS THE HEAT / AIR IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED TO MAKE A HORRIBLE CLICKING NOISE WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF OR ON. IT WOULD START WHEN THE CAR DOOR WAS OPENED OR WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED (NOT A DEALER...NOT GIVING THEM ANY MORE OF MY MONEY). IT COST OVER $200 TO BE REPAIRED.

SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. UNDERSEAT HARNESS CONNECTIONS WERE TIGHTENED, BUT THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM BEGAN 4 MONTHS AGO. WARNING LIGHT WILL CLEAR ONCE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH GM. AT THIS TIME, GM IS UNABLE TO TELL ME IF THE AIR BAG WOULD FUNCTION AS DESIGNED OR EVEN DEPLOY AT ALL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND MESSAGE CAME ACROSS SAYING SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL: THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING RAPIDLY AT THE SAME TIME. FOLLOW BY A VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THEN SPEED WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. TURNED ON FLASHERS AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. VEHICLE HAD TROUBLES RESTARTING AND WOULD NOT MOVE. STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN. TRIES TO DIE WHILE IDLING AFTER YOU GET IT TO START. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED - BUT NEVER ON THE FREEWAY WHICH WAS VERY SCARY. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO WAS ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SAID WITHOUT A WARRANTY I COULD NOT BE HELPED I COULD PAY $700 TO FIX IT THOUGH. THEY COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEATH WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HOW QUICKLY YOU LOSE POWER I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME, BUT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SITUATION, UNBELIEVABLE.

SERVICE AIR BAG SENSOR INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES AND REMAINS ON WHILE DRIVING, AS DOES THE AIR BAG WARNING SYMBOL. UNSURE IF AIR BAG WILL INFLATE IN A CRASH IF LIGHT IS ON DURING A CRASH. CONSIDERABLE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY WHICH ARE CURRENTLY ONLY RIDE IN REAR OF VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,600.

I HAVE A 09 CHEVY IMAPALA AND MY CAR MAKES THIS AGGRAVATING TICKING NOISE WHEN I ENTER MY CAR WHEN I CRANK UP THE CAR WHEN IM OUTSIDE AND TOUCH HE CAR IT TICKS FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO. IT ALSO TICKS WHEN I HAVE TO TURN THE AIR ON FOR THE DRIVER SIDE I HAVE TO LEAVE THE TEMP OR HOT AND WHEN THE TICKING STOPS COMPLETLY ( THERE IS TWO REPS OF IT) THEN I CAN MOVE IT TO THE COLD SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. AFTER SHIFTING INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS FAILED TO AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WITHOUT WARNING. THE PASSENGERS WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AFTER MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE DOORS. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

REDUCED ENGINE POWER APPEARED FOLLOWED BY CHECK TRACTION CONTROL. THEN SYMBOL FOR CHECK TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE COMPLETELY IN PASSING LANE ON INTERSTATE 80. CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL ALSO LIT, CAR COMPLETELY DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. APPROX 15 MIN LATER, IT DID START WITH CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL LIGHTED.

TAKATA RECALL - DRIVER VANITY LIGHTS NO LONGER COME ON. SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND CLICKING NOISE WHEN AC IS TURNED ON. CLICKING NOISE CONTINUE EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF.

CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 134K MILES AND JUST GAVE ME A "REDUCED POWER ENGINE", "CHECK TRACTION CONTROL", AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I GOOGLED AROUND AND CAME ACROSS A LOT OF CHEVY IMPALAS AROUND THE SAME YEAR (07-10) ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WITH THE "ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITIONER PEDAL SENSOR. ALSO READING INTO IT, IT CLAIMS THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO SUDDENLY STOP FROM 60MPH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 20 OR ZERO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED.

CAR WAS PARKED AND NOT RUNNING BUT WAS IN HOT SUN FOR A FEW HOURS. WHEN I CAME BACK TO CAR I STARTED IT UP AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG SIGN WAS ON. THIS HAPPENED ON JULY 4TH OF 2015. OCCASIONALLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT THEN WILL COME RIGHT BACK ON.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN THE CAR ALERTED ME THAT THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AS THESE MESSAGES HAVE APPEARED ON MY CAR BEFORE. I TRAVELED ANOTHER 40 MILES ALONG THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ABOUT A MILE FROM MY EXIT. I WAS PASSING AN OVER-SIZED TRACTOR TRAILER GOING UP HILL WHEN THE CAR DISPLAYED STARTING DISABLED THROTTLE SERVICE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND HAD TO INITIATE MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND WAIT FOR THE TRACTOR TRAILER TO PASS ME SO I COULD MOVE THE CAR OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. AS THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY SHUTOFF AND WAS JUST COASTING, I HAD TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO CONTROL THE CAR. I FEEL LIKE HAD MY SITUATION WAS JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT, THE CAR COULD HAVE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WITH CARS TRAVELING 70+ MPH AND POSSIBLY CAUSED A CRASH. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AND THAT REMEDIED THE SITUATION FOR A COUPLE MONTHS. THIS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE THAT I KNOW IS COMMON WITH THE IMPALA'S AS I'VE HEARD IT HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE OWNING IMPALA'S.

2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. MARCH 2015 KEY FAILED TO DISENGAGE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFT PARK FUSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THIS AFTER THE RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH. ALSO ON MAY 27, 2016 CAR STARED HAVING LOUD CLICKING SOUND WHEN AIR VENT IS SET TO AIR FROM OUTSIDE OR WHEN OFF. COMES FROM PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD. UPON LOOKING THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE MANY HAVE STATED A BAD ACTUATOR BEING THE CAUSE. THIS DEFINITELY APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. CONTINUES EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF SINCE IT SWITCHES DIRECTLY BACK TO THAT SETTING. MILEAGE IS 78251

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON PREVENTING ME FROM GETTING MY INSPECTION. IT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER A RECALL WAS PERFORMED FOR A SENSOR THAT CONTROLLED ABS/TC AND ENGINE LOSING POWER

LOUD CLICKING NOISE. I THINK IT'S SOMETHINGS TO DEAL WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN THE BUTTON IS ON THE BLUE AREA. ACTUATOR? THE CLICKING SOUND WOULD COME AND GO. WHEN I PRESS THE KEY BUTTON ON MY KEYCHAIN. POP THE TRUNK AND SOMETIMES IT JUST GOES OFF THROUGH THE THE DAY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND PARK.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY HOME FROM WORK 65 MPH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ABS BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND READOUT SAID LOOS OF ENGINE POWER MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 40 I PULLED OVER AND WENT OFF THE EXIT AND FINISHED MY DRIVE HOME FROM WORK THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL BUT AIRBAG LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON SINCE AND THE DEALER WANTS 1000.00 TO FIX IT. CAN'T GET MY CAR INSPECTED. THIS AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALLED

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AT 64000 MILES. LOOKS LIKE CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS THINGS.KEEP GETTING TOLD TO COME BACK IT COULD BE THIS ONE OTHER THING.

INTERMEDIATE LIGHT AND READOUT OF SERVICE AIRBAG. THIS LIGHT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY AND OR DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE SIDE RAIL. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A NECK AND HIP INJURY, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY CAR STARTED JERKING THE ESC CAME ON ENGINE LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM PULLED OVER ALMOST GOT HIT BY TWO OTHER CARS . ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHTS BEEN ON THE SENSORS HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED AND NEW FRONT AIRBAGS.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. INTERMITTENT SOME TIMES, THEN STAYS ON FOR WEEKS. 63,000 MILES.

THIS PROBLEM STARTED 2 YEARS AGO. MY CAR WOULD GIVE ME A WARNING "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. ENGINE POWER REDUCED." THEN THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE FIXED A SENSOR. THAT WAS AROUND A YEAR AGO. I TRAVEL A LOT FOR MY JOB AND TODAY I ARRIVED IN PORTLAND OREGON HAD PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE TO GET FUEL, AND ONCE I PULLED OUT TO THE EXTREMELY BUSY INTERSECTION MY CAR DID THIS AGAIN! I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND ONCE IT TURNED GREEN BOOM CAR DIED DUE TO TRACTION CONTROL. SO NOW I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD WITH TRAFFIC GOING AROUND 45 MPH ALMOST REAR ENDING ME. I TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS AND TRED STARTING IT WHICH WORKED. FOOLISHLY I THOUGHT I COULD AT LEAST MAKE IT TO THIS PARKING LOT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET WHEN I WENT ABOUT 500 FEET IT DID IT AGAIN, IN AN EVEN WORSE SPOT. I TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AGAIN FOR 45 SECONDS STARTED THE CAR AND GOT INTO THE PARKING LOT WHICH WAS NOW 50 FEET FROM ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS AND THAT'S WHERE I FOUND AT LEAST 50 OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND TRYING TO GET GM TO HELP. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO MY JOB IF I CAN NOT GET FROM PLACE TO PLACE SAFELY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL PEOPLE.

CPSC: 2009 CHEVY IMPALA: CONSUMER STATED DUE TO TRACTION ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL DROP FROM THE CURRENT DRIVING SPEED TO 5 MPH. *SS THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER TO THE VEHICLE WAS REDUCED TO ALMOST NONE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED IT DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE CRASH, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V355000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,233.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT ENGINE OIL WAS LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE REMEDY WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V701000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

LOUD CLICKING NOISE. I THINK IT'S SOMETHINGS TO DEAL WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER WHEN THE BUTTON IS ON THE BLUE AREA. ACTUATOR? THE CLICKING SOUND WOULD COME AND GO. WHEN I PRESS THE KEY BUTTON ON MY KEYCHAIN. POP THE TRANK AND SOMETIMES IT JUST GOES OFF THROUGH THE THE DAY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND PARK.

INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR REDUCED POWER, SERVICE ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AT ANYTIME AND GO OFF. EXPERIENCE A LITTLE LACK OF POWER. I WILL DO IT ANY TIME AND ANY CONDITION. IT IS RANDOM. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ I AM WORRIED IF THE CAR WILL LEAVE US STRANDED.

ONLY DRIVER DOOR UNLOCKS WITH A KEY. THREE OTHER DOORS (DRIVER AND TWO REAR DOORS) DO NOT UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY HALF OF THE TIME. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF USING CONTROLS ON DOOR OR REMOTE. THIS OF COURSE REFERS TO BEING STATIONARY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A CONCERN BECAUSE IT REQUIRES HOPPING OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS, (WHICH HAVE THE MANUAL BUTTON AT THE REAR OF THE DOOR) MAKING IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO REACH. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE WHEN THERE ARE CHILD SEATS INVOLVED, OR WHEN A PERSON MUST BE QUICKLY REMOVED FOR ANY REASON SUCH AS HEALTH ISSUE, ACCIDENT OR DANGER. CLIMBING OVER THE SEAT MAY NOT BE AN OPTION IF SICK OR INJURED PEOPLE ARE IN THE FRONT, BUT NOT NECESSARILY REMOVABLE. WHAT IF CHILD LOCKS PREVENT UNLOCKING FROM THE INSIDE, AND REMOTE OR DOOR CONTROLS ARE THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS? I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT AND EXPENSIVE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. MY CAR (EVEN THOUGH IT IS 9 YEARS OLD) HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS IN VERY FINE SHAPE OTHERWISE, BUT HAS THREE DOORS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A FAULTY PRODUCT! THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN THE ON-LINE COMMUNITY TELL ME THIS PROBLEM DESERVES BEING FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 30 TIMES, INCLUDING TODAY, AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WOULD DISPLAY ENGINE REDUCE POWER MESSAGE THEN THE ENGINE WOULD REDUCE POWER AND STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 12-21-15 WITH 118755 MILES THEY SAID NO CODES. I STATED THE BATTERY DIED THEY SAID BRING IT BACK K IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK ON 3-17-16 123236 MILES THE CODE WAS IN THE SYSTEM BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED NOW OVER THE MILES. I CALLED GM ON 3-17-16 THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND CALL ME BACK. GM CALLED BACK AND SAID THEY CAN'T HELP ME( CASE # 8-1882923571). I ASKED WHEN THE NOTICE WENT OUT AND HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW. I THINK THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CHUCK NICHOLSON GMC DOVER OHIO 330-343-7781.

KEEPS TELLING ME TO CHECK AIR BAG, BUT NOT ON RECALL LIST. WHAT CAN I DO. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, BUT NO HELP

DRIVING DOWN ROAD, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, DISPLAYING "REDUCED POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM. TO IT TO CHEVY DEALER IN TOPEKA KS. THEN FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT, SOMETIMES CAR SHUTS OFF ALL TOGETHER. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL BY GM. LAW SUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. CAN I FALL BACK ON GM FOR THE EXPENSE?.

THERE HAS BEEN AN CONSENT ISSUE OCCURRING WITH MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I PAY $100 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE ISSUE, BUT THEY RESET THE SYSTEM FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. 4 TO 6 MONTHS GOES BY AND THE LIGHT COMES ON "AGAIN". AS OF RIGHT NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE THAT MY VEHICLE WILL PROTECT ME DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND I WOULD LIKE AND INVESTIGATION TO BE OPENED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCERN. HAVE A GREAT DAY. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT RANDOMLY COMING ON, NOW MORE FREQUENTLY. SCAN OF SYSTEM SHOWS AIR BAG PRETENSIONER ISSUE.

RECEIVING A MESSAGE FOR SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR WEEKS. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. NOW THERE IS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR.

WHEN STATIONARY AND WHEN INITIALLY MOVING, THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD CLICKING SOUND WHICH SEEMS TO ORIGINATE INSIDE DASH BOARD. UPON LOOKING THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE MANY HAVE STATED A BAD ACTUATOR BEING THE CAUSE. THIS DEFINITELY APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON TWICE UNDER WARRANTEE AS SOON AS WARRANTEE WAS OVER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN {2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTEE] WAS TOLD BY ALANTIC CHEVROLET THAT IT WOULD COST $180 PLUS PART AND LABOR TO FIX AIRBAG LIGHT.

I WAS WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE SIGNAL TURNED GREEN, I TURNED AND AS I WAS TURNING MY CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO STEER HARD TO PULL OVER TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. I PULLED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD. THINKING MAYBE IT WAS LOW ON FUEL, I HAD MY BROTHER GET GAS AND WE PUT GAS IN IT. HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT START. SAT FOR MAYBE 20 MINUTES TO SEE IF IT. NOTHING HAPPENED. MY SISTER CAME TO GIVE ME A JUMP THINKING THAT I NEEDED ONE. HOWEVER, NO LUCK AT ALL. HAD TO PULL THE CAR HOME. THE MECHANIC THOUGHT THAT IT WAS MY STARTER, PUT THE STARTER ON AND STILL NOTHING. THE END RESULT, MY ENGINE HAS SEIZED ON ME!!

WHILE TRAVELING HOME AT ABOUT 55 MPH CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES CAUSING ME TO DO THE SAME - THEN TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME ON IN THE DISPLAY WINDOW - FELT LIKE ALL FOUR WHEEL JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHEN TRYING TO GAIN ANY SPEED WEIRD SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE (NORMALLY QUIET).

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON TOO. LOOKS LIKE SAME PROBLEM AS TEN MILLION OTHER PEOPLE (GOOD LUCK FOR US ALL - TIME TO GO BACK TO BMW). HAVE TO STOCK UP ON SENSORS I GUESS

I BOUGHT A 2009 IMPALA NEW AFTER 12 WEEKS THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH 2000 MILES. WAS FIX BY CHEVROLET . THEN ABOUT 1YEAR LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN 6000 MILES WAS FIX AGAIN BY CHEVROLET . THEN 1 YEAR LATER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN 10000 MILES WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET IT WOULD BE $180 TO CHECK CODE THEN PLUS PARTS AND LABOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, AND SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, ESPECIALLY DURING COOLER WEATHER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATER WAS ACTIVATED, THERE WAS A LOUD CLICKING SOUND THAT LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V355000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

FIRST ISSUE OCCURRED WAS "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" THEN AT THE SAME TIME "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THIS OCCURRED OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. HAD THE PART SUGGESTED REPLACED WHICH WAS THE THROTTLE. LAST WEEKEND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE "STARTING DISABLED SERVICE THROTTLE" MESSAGE APPEARED AND I LOST ALL POWER. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I WAS PASSING SOMEONE AT THE TIME IN THE LEFT LANE AND THEN LOST ALL STEERING, BRAKES, POWER, ETC... I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME CAR AROUND SAME MILES HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK INTO. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN MY CAR SINCE THIS OCCURRED AND I AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT ON TUESDAY 1/26/16.

"SERVICE AIRBAGS" DISPLAYED ON DASH. WILL COME IN AND GO OFF RANDOMLY. SEARCHING INTERNET I FOUND THIS LINK TO REPORT THE ISSUE. SEEMS AS IF THIS IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ISSUED, ITS A SAFETY ISSUE!

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON REPEATEDLY.
