To whom it may concern: I have had my vehicle fixed twice for the same problem . The automotive service shop that fixed it said it was a part called an autonator. It makes a clicking sound when the vehicle shuts off. It has been repaired twice and eventually it starts back. Also one side of the heating system works. When you turn it on one side stays cool and the other side gives the warm air.

On July 11th 2023 I finalized the purchase of a black 2014 Chevy Impala LT at Premiere Auto Solutions LLC. The beginning of the week of July 22nd I started hearing loud noises coming from back tire area. On approximately July 24th, the engine light came on for small Evaporation leak code. Returned back to Premiere Auto and spoke with worker\dealer about situation with the car. Was told by this person after a test drive with him that the back tire noises are normal due to the braking system, and he cleared the engine code from dash panel. Within the next week, back tire noise got worse and engine light came back on along with message to service front camera\side detection system. Car diagnosed by two mechanics for replacement of back rotors\brakes and Evaporation purge valve. Attempted to contact Premiere Auto to no avail. On August 4th the vehicle suffered an electrical failure with total loss of power while driving. On August 7th the car was towed to Bob Johnson Chevrolet at 1271 W. Ridge Rd. Rochester, NY, 14615. The car is still there diagnosed with a shorted wire to the front camera module which renders the car inoperable, and is not covered by the extended warranty.

Fourth time I had submitted this text so this one will be vague. I've had to Repair my stuts and shocks and brakes to my vehicle due to ongoing issues with tires while divingand hitting small speesbumps and potholes. I did replace low performance tires and still was an issue with my struts and shocks when I drive causing me to hit a bump or a small hole and diverts me to the next lane of ongoing traffic also I had to my battery replaced twice. To find out that it was only due to corrosion and the battery cables slipping was frustrating cause I did replace the battery and key fob battery already. Car wouldn't start and when it did it took forever hours to restart and engine still seems to get bogged down In ongoing traffic. Which was the prior issue no power no matter how hard i press the gas. I took to autozone and they did a reading which came back that everything was okay including the battery which was obviously not okay. It was leaking fluid and i have already replaced year and half ago due to same issue. They cables seem to slip over time on its own. What to do? Thank you for your time to look into this issue. Kindest Regards

Power steering stability trak doors locking making clicking sound all this shows up on dash and the car feels like it is accelerating and then jerks slows down and a big sound putting it into gear and a code that says U0101

I have a 2014 Chevy Impala LTZ, owned it for 9 years. Just started with issues within the last 6months and it just seems to be getting worst everyday. While making a left turn, not even driving 5mph my power steering fails and the drivers side tires seem to lock up as if the car would be hydro planing. Once it happens the dashboard Alerts come on such as Stabilitrac, Traction Control, ABS, Service Break Assistance, Power Steering, and I lost control of the car in the middle of the road!! Brought the car to the shop they change the wheel bearings. We also changed the brakes in March of this year, we had a front and back realignment plus new tires within the last 6 months. The dealer we got it from is no longer in business, as I did buy it used. I called the Chevrolet 800 number for recalls but no luck finding anything. After searching year/make/model I found similar issues to other "2014 Chevy" within the last couple of years. This is a serious issue and it can become dangerous while driving with my family in the car. I can't afford another vehicle as this car is my reliable vehicle.

There is a current recall on Chevy impalas with the trans mod control system but my vin number is not apart of the recall but my car is doing everything that recalls states. The recall number is 14V614000. The recall date 10-01-2014. My vehicle is 2014 and I have only had it for 2 years.

The recall said it was completed in 2014, but my parking brake will engage while I'm driving and has risked my life in multiple occasions. So I believe the recall was not done properly as my parking brake still engages while I'm driving.

The ABS and traction control light are always on. Sometimes the brakes kick back up on my foot and the brakes skip until I come to a stop.This doesn't always happen but I have to always be prepared. And there is always a squeaking sound when wheels are in motion. It was never inspected

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while attempting to park in the driveway, the power steering failed, and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn in either direction. During the failure the steering failure message was displayed on the instrument panel. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure and informed that the vehicle was previously serviced under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V450000 (Steering). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 179,000.

I have a 2014 Chevrolet Impala 2014 Ltz with 75000 miles on it. About a week ago I got a notification saying "service side detection" I lost my side detection on the side mirrors. Now my lane departure camera stop working and now my part assist for the rear camera has also stopped working. What's the point of paying more for a vehicle to be safe if all of the safety features start to fail.

Been having transmissions issues since I got the car and nobody can figure out what is wrong, changed the fluid, added lucus, sounds like it’s reving while driving (foot not on gas, cruising)

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that after she started the vehicle, she smelled a burning odor and then heard a popping sound. The contact then stated that she turned the vehicle off and waited then restarted the vehicle and proceeded to drive. The contact then stated that she noticed what appeared to be snow on the rear windshield; however, the windshield then caved in. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 139,428.

The Automatic Occupant Sensing (AOS) system fails to suppress the front passenger air bag with no passenger in the seat. The airbag on light stays on. There is no code triggered in the system. This also causes the unbuckled passenger seatbelt warning to chime with no passenger in the seat.

The right turn signal bulb keeps blowing. Break lights were stuck on. I got pulled over because the blinker wasn't working and parking light wouldn't go off. The officer was nice because I had just got the car and didn't give me a ticket, just a warning. Blinker on passenger side won't work with lights on and fuses for that side keeps blowing

Electrical wiring problems. Parking light wouldn't go off and clicking noise under dash in front seat

My car has had a the side detection modules fail every 1 to 2 years since I've owned the car new in 2014. The dealership has repaired it for free every time now for at least 5 times. Now that the car is not under warranty they refuse to fix it for free. This is a problem with the design and engineering of the car and it is very costly to fix. The problem will continue to occur since the manufacturer refuses to find a permanent solution to the issue. It is related to the placement of the unit and it is affected by the environment and corrodes.

Air bags did not deploy in an automotive collision.

Side detection system failures. Repaired side detection systems 2 times ( 2017/2018 and again in 2020) both times GM reimbursed for repairs under technical bulletin. Repairs were supposed to be using “redesigned” parts to prevent issue from reoccurring. Side detection system requires service again in February 2023. That is 3 times this failure has occurred in 8 years of owning this car. I have been told not too drive this vehicle with this issue as more serious issues can happen - dashboard failure, engine issues, etc. which can cause serious issues while driving. Even though GM extended the warranty for this, it doesn’t seem fair that I have to continue to pay repairs for a defective system ….. especially when I cannot drive for safety reasons. If this were just cosmetic, not that bad an issue. But this is a safety concern.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the side mirror blind spot detection system malfunctioned, and the warning light blinked constantly and blinked while no oncoming vehicle was present. The contact stated that the failure occurred on both the driver’s side and passenger’s side mirrors. The contact stated that while the failure occurred the electronic cluster also malfunctioned, and the doors and trunk lid would not always open, and the vehicle would not always start immediately. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced an unknown module kit. The contact stated that the vehicle had been repaired for the same failure on three previous occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Had a new catalyst converter installed new up steam down steam 02 sensor and it say Catalytic converter system is below threshold bank one had numerous parts put on and the engine light won’t stay off I don’t have a lot of money to keep fixing it the light goe out for a couple days come back on

Multiple electric concerns...airbag light, park assist, inop camera, and losing communication with BCM(?) Found multiple communication codes for a variety of different modules. Found main source to be from the "side detection modules". Found fuse 62 blown underhood. Inspected side detection modules and found "a lot of corrosion" on both modules and connectors. Needs side detection kit. I purchased the used impala on 12/19/2020 with 63,897 miles. The first time this issue was a concern was on 07/02/2022 at Merit chevrolet (MN). Mileage was at 83144 at that time. Diagnosis ... recommend both rear side detection modules and harness? According to Special coverage adjustment #N172097060 it is known to be subject to "water intrusion"? This problem affects the whole electrical system which includes airbag function. Why does this safety concern have a limited coverage time? According to the "Special Coverage" document, there was an 80000 mile timeline? This appears to be an ongoing issue with this year, make, and model and my feeling is that a "special coverage" is denying the safety problem and putting it on the consumer?

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist with the EPS, stability track, and several unknown warning lights illuminated. Additionally, the steering wheel was stiff while making turns. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V450000 (Steering). The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

The 2014 Chevy Impala is dangerous. When the rocker arm control valve and related parts fail or the camshaft solenoids and sensors fail the car will drive rough and eventually just cut off in the middle of traffic highway or residential. This is what it did on me, putting me in a very dangerous position. The economic loss is still devastating financially as all 2.5 and 3.6 engines arent covered by GM special warranty but they should be all covered. My VIN number was not included when it should be.

Gages are going up and down. All lights keep coming on and appears to dying while driving. Turns dignals do not work when this is happening. My car has been with dealer (2298 Crain Hwy. Waldorf, MD 20601) for two weeks. As of Jan 3, 2023. They are offering to replace the chassis however not following the notified recall. Insisting that I pay...

I was driving in a snowstorm and all of the sudden the ABS, Stabilitrak, and power steering went out. I'm frustrated that this is the 2nd electrical safety issue that I have experienced. Both of which have been reported by several drivers and still no recalls!

This car has exactly the same issues as reported in 15V465000 but Chevrolet refuses to acknowledge that this VIN should have been in their recall. The AOS systems in this Impala is improperly calibrated. My child in the front seat could be seriously injured. Chevrolet themselves verified this 2014 Impala has front vented-heated passenger seats. They still refuse to help in any way. This car does not turn the front passenger airbag on and off when it detects (or fails to detect) an adult occupant in that seat.

When pulling up to a stoplight the car would often downshift, surge with power, and nearly overpower the brakes. The car started losing oil from its rear main seal. When I finally had the seal replaced the repair shop found that pieces of the thrust bearing were laying in the oil pan. The engine and transmission had to be removed from the vehicle in order to replace the thrust bearing. They showed me a box full of parts, but I did not keep any.

Passenger airbag lights stays on even when its no one in the seat, also the blind side warning does not work with the already know defective sensors. need fix to ensure my safety of me and my family

Car turned off while driving and lost Al power

The air bags from the passenger is not ON. The button on top turns on when a passenger sits .

When getting of the exit from the high way my steering wheel locked up. We were going about 40-50 getting into a slow speed from the highway. I struggled with turning the wheel just to get off of the ramp. And then a sign came up saying service power steering drive with care. It’s showing that my vehicle doesn’t have a recall for this. But this is absolutely not safe at all. I had my 2 infants and 7 year old in the vehicle.

Electrical issues, radio volume disappears for a short period of time, turn signal audible noise disappears at same time radio volume stops, power sterring assist stops working for short time, sterring issue repaired in 2016 but doing again, ac cooling stops working for short time period, off and on, seems to be some type of electrical issue with the vehicle, purchased new in 2014, only 32,000 mile on car at present, every time taken to dealer will not reproduce the problem, called GM states recall 14515 is not part of my car, i question that in that this recall is for electrical issues. can not seem to get any furthur with anyone on this issue

Side detection module has falled... yes it is available for inspection... my wife got locked in the car on a 80 plus degree day and could not get out,doors would not open,trunk release would not open trunk so she could crawl there the back seat,sunroof would not open,power steering periodically feels like there is no power stearing, dash lights periodically shut off when driving.. Yes, morries forest lake chevrolet and cadilac.forest lake. mn... no it has not been inspected by anyone but the dealer...There were no warning lights untill 51,000 miles or 8 months ago

Due to a poor electrical ground connection to the power steering control module, the vehicle has been losing power steering assist during start up and while driving; this requires much greater effort for me to steer the vehicle even at low speeds, and is increasing the risk of a crash for me and my family.

Was driving when the service power steering message came on no code to be read on it unable to drive or turn.

The message can on in the car "side detection system " when I cut the car off and got back in, it was gone off. Later that night I got back in the car to go somewhere and the car wouldn't start. And every time I try starting it want.

When I drive down the road my blind spot detection sensor goes off and lights up in the passenger mirror. It lights up if there is or is not a vehicle in my blind spot and has made me swerve back because I think there is someone or something in my blind spot. I have looked into this problem and it seems that there can be other issues that stem from this malfunction. I have owned the vehicle since 2019 where I purchased from a certified Chevrolet dealer and was not informed of this problem. This problem started to happen about 8 months ago and I reached out to where I purchased the venicle from with no response back from the salesperson I purchased thru. I don't want to continue to deal with this dealership and not get a return call from them. I have not had any other dealership look at this problem but I really need to find someone that can and will take care of this for me. I don't feel safe sometimes when changing lanes or letting my girlfriend us my vehicle to goto the store, or even take her child to school or sporting events he is involved in. I have done some searching on my own and seen that Chevrolet knows about this issue but I still have not received any information about this problem that has been going on for quite a bit of time.

I have taken it in on several occasions and been told there is no active code. My transmission control module constantly looses communication. Through my research I have found numerous accounts of this part failing and GM not repairing it, nor issuing a safety recall. I took the vehicle in and was told it was a common failure. The failure of this part has put myself and my children in danger, the computer failure causes the car to randomly shift gears while driving jerk violently and completely shut off at times. Currently it is stuck in 1 gear. I am a single parent, I am scared to travel with my children in the car, anywhere including school and medical appointments. This issue happens while driving the vehicle at all speeds including highway speeds. The last time I took it in the dealer stated, the vehicle was not safe to drive they notified my warranty company, which took 2 weeks to look at the vehicle at which time I was told that the fault code was not active but only in the history of the computer and they refused to repair it. Being that this is a known issue by GM I believe a safety recall should be issue before someone is hurt or killed, if they havent been already. The service advisor informed me that they were instructed to clear the codes from my OBD let the car sit and see if the issue returned. This issue has affected multiple GM vehicles yet they refuse to make the repair necessary to make the vehicle safe. questions; 1)TCM fails, yes it is available for inspec

POWER STEERING ISSUE.. WAS A RECALL WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE BACK IN 2014.. CAR HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND ITS AFFECTING MY STEERING ON MY CAR

Driving at night my car headlights/instrument panel shut off on their own. I couldn’t see had to slam my brakes and pull over. Nothing I tried would turn them on. After almost a minute each time they just came back on theirselves. After googling this seems to be a known problem with Chevy impalas but no solution. This is highly dangerous. There were no warning lights that came on or anything. I was able to still drive the car, turn it on and off, etc but they wouldn’t come on until they did on their own. Thank goodness no one was behind me or something in front of me cause I was on a none lighted 55 mph road
