2015 Chevrolet Impala complaints

WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON AND NOT IN MOTION THE DASH DISPLAYS A SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM MESSAGE AND THE BLIND SPOT DETECTORS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT LIGHT UP LIKE THEY SHOULD WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED. WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED AND ON ANY ROADS OR HIGHWAY, THE BLIND SPOT DETECTORS DO NOT LIGHT. WHEN ASSESSED BY A CHEVY MECHANIC THE SIDE DETECTION SENSORS WERE SWOLLEN AND . CORRODED. THIS SENSOR IS IN AN AREA WHERE IT IS UNPROTECTED FROM THE SNOW AND SALT. IT WILL COST ALMOST $2,000 TO REPLACE TWO SENSORS. IF NOT REPLACED I'M AFRAID THAT MY VEHICLES WILL START CATCHING FIRE OR HAVING OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LIKE OTHER 2015 IMPALA OWNERS HAD HAPPEN TO THEM IN THE PAST DUE TO THESE CORRODED SENSORS.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND ACCELERATING THE ABS ACTIVATES AND THE ABS LIGHT MOMENTARILY COMES ON. I JACKED UP THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND THAT I COULD CREATE THE ERROR BY JIGGLING THE WIRE TO THE ABS SENDING UNIT. GOOGLE THE ERROR AND NOTICE DOZENS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

BRAKE LIGHTS GASKETS ARE FAULTY FROM THE FACTORY AND ALLOW WATER TO FILL THE TRUNK WHEN IT RAINS. WHICH LEADS TO MOLD AND MILDEW SMELL THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. GM HAS PRODUCED A GASKET THAT IS "THICKER" AND CORRECTS THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL AND DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I'VE SPENT HUNDREDS AT DEALERSHIPS TRYING TO FIND FIND CAUSE OF THE WATER.

CRUSE CONTROL DEACTIVATES AND WON'T REACTIVATE WHILE CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SEEMS TO WORK AGAIN AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED THE ENGINE ALSO DIED. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, WAITED A MINUTE AND CAR RESTARTED AND SEEMED FINE, BUT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME A FEW MINUTES LATER. I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC SO WAS IN NO IMMEDIATE DANGER, BUT WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ON A BUSY SIX LANE INTERSTATE. NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE SET BY THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL MODULE (SIDE DETECTION) HAS FAILED TWICE. HAVE TO DRIVE TO GET REPAIR WITH NO GAUGES, SIGNALS, OR HEAT. THIS COULD EASILY BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR WAS PARKED, UPON STARTING, GOT SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES INCLUDING SIDE DETECTION ISSUE, AIR BAG FAILURE, TIRE INFLATION FAILURE. NO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, HEAT - BUT THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT ELECTRICAL HEAT STILL WORK!

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON

THERE IS A SLIGHT VIBRATION AROUND 20 TO 30 MPH AS GEARS ARE SHIFTING AND IT GOES AWAY...DOES IT REPEATEDLY AT SAME POSITION AND EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL...NO CODES OR LIGHTS ON DASH HAPPENS MOSTLY IN MOTION ON INCLINES AND EVEN GROUND AT SAME SPEED GROUPING

THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL BE DRIVING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I CAME TO A STOP TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STILL WASN'T WORKING. I HAD TO GO BACK HOME AND FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO WORK. IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES I CAN NOT SOLELY RELY ON THAT CAR. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND A FIX OF THIS PROBLEM.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM LIGHT ON DASH SAY SERVICE BUT THE SIDE DETECTION LIGHT ONBTHE MIRROR STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF.

THE SIDE DETECTION MODULES IN MY 2015 IMPALA HAVE GONE BAD FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. THEY WERE REPLACED IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. THIS WAS MOSTLY COVERED THROUGH A SPECIAL "RECALL" TO REPAIR AND PREVENT A REOCCURRENCE OF THE FAILURE. NOW, IN DECEMBER ON 2020, I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME CONDITION. THEY DID NOT REPAIR THE MODULES TO PREVENT THE SAME CONDITION FROM ARISING AGAIN. THEY GET WET BECAUSE OF A BAD DESIGN AND FAULT OUT, LEADING TO CAR SHUTTING DOWN OR EVEN FIRE FROM HARNESS TO MODULES CONNECTION. GENERAL MOTORS AND/OR THE DEALERSHIP (SUBURBAN CADILLAC, NOW SHAHEEN CADILLAC OF LANSING MI) SIMPLY REPLACED DISFUNCTIONAL PARTS WITH THE EXACT SAME DISFUNCTIONAL PARTS. A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUOUSLY REPAY FOR A POSSIBLY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT THE COMPANY IS QUITE AWARE OF. I TRULY HOPE THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THIS IN THE FUTURE. THE REFUSAL TO ACCEPT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS DUE TO NEGLIGENT DESIGN AND INADEQUATE FIXES IS EVEN MORE ENRAGING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED HER CHILD WAS UNABLE TO UNLATCH THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT. THE CONTACT CALLED MADE THE LOCAL DEALER BIG M CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 704 N DIXIE BLVD, RADCLIFF, KY 40160, (270) 505-4830 AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,000.

LEFT REAR BRAKE CALIPER FELL OFF AFTER 38329 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED BY PUMPING THE BRAKES!!

WHEN I TURN LEFT, THE ABS LIGHT/ TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY WHEEL BEARINGS AND IT'S STILL THE SAME PROBLEM

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE REVS TO HIGH RPMS AND A LOSS OF POWER TO THE WHEELS OCCURS. THIS HAPPENS MOST NOTABLY WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS WHILE CRUISING AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH AND UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND CODE P16CF WAS GIVEN AND TRACKED DIRECTLY TO THE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY, BRAKE ASSIST, AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CANNON NISSAN OF OXFORD (479 MS-6, OXFORD, MS 38655, (662) 236-3300) WHO REPAIRED THE WIRING HARNESS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER REVVED UP WHEN STARTING. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE RECEPTORS ALONG WITH OTHER UNKNOWN REPAIRS NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING SENSOR (OBJECT SENSOR/ CONTROL MODULE) ON MY VEHICLE HAS GONE OUT. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH GOES BLACK. THEN IT CUTS BACK ON GOING HAYWIRE, ALL SORTS OF LIGHTS AND WARNINGS CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE CAR OUT, TURNING IT OFF TO SEE IF A RESTART WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SO I HAD TO TOW TO THE DEALER WHICH IN THIS PANDEMIC WAS CLOSED. WHEN THE GUY AT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS BAD HE SAID IT GOES BAD FROM GETTING WET. CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO GET WET NO? AFTER LOOKING ONLINE SOMEONE SAID THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REDESIGNED THE PART TO WORK BETTER, YET THEY WANT ME TO PAY ALMOST $1000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY FIXED FOR THE SAME REASON. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH SMOKE WAS DETECTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. UPON EXITING VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL EMERGING FROM ENGINE. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ROCKER ARM CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED HERRIN-GEAR CHEVROLET (1685 HIGH ST, JACKSON, MS 39202 601) 354-3882) WHOM INFORMED HER THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,928.

A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 55MPH AND DECIDED TO CHANGE LANES AND I NEARLY RAN INTO A VEHICLE THAT WAS PASSING ME AT THE TIME. THIS NEAR MISS OCCURRED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE BLIND SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE SYSTEM SENSORS AND WIRE HARNESSES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN DEFECT IN GM'S SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM IN THAT IT WASN'T ADEQUATELY PROTECTED FROM NORMAL MOISTURE DAMAGE. SINCE THIS IS SUCH AN INHERENT AND SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, [XXX] VEHICLE OWNER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MAKER SAYING THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AOS. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE LIGHT STARTED TO APPEAR AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE SAME PLACE AND NOW THEIR ARE SAYING MY SENSING DIAGNOSTIC MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS WAS SOMETHING NOT DONE CORRECTLY BY THE MANUFACTURER AND I SHOULDN'T BE LIABLE FOR IT. IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DON'T DEPLOY, OR THEY DEPLOY AT ANYTIME CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, I WILL PURSUE LEGAL ACTION.

OWNERS OF 2014-2015 IMPALAS ARE NOT ABLE TO GET THIS PART CALL THE ROCKER ARM CONTROL VALVE. THEY NO LONGER MAKE THIS PART TO FIX THE CARS. SO PEOPLE WHO OWN THOSE MODEL CARS ARE FORCED TO TRADE IN CARS THAT THEIR STILL PAYING CAR NOTES ON. GMC HAS NOT SPOKE ABOUT THIS MATTER AND LEFT THEIR CUSTOMERS STUCK OUT WITHOUT WARNING. WE ARE FORCED TO GO BACK INTO LONG TERM CAR NOTES WHEN HALF OF THE PEOPLE ALMOST FINISHED PAYING OFF THEIR NOTE. AND OTHERS HAVE PAID OFF THEIR CAR THAT'S 5 YEARS OLD THAT THEY CAN NO LONGER BUY. IT'S VERY SAID .

SIDE DETECTION SENSORS AND WIRING HARNESD

WATER LEAK IN TRUNK DUE TO FAIL TAILLIGHT SEAL THAT CAN CAUSE ELECTRIC ISSUE AND MOLD MILDEW WHICH IS A SAFETY HEALTH ISSUE. HTTPS://WWW.IMPALAFORUMS.COM/THREADS/2015-LTZ-WATER-IN-TRUNK.1299889/ HTTPS://WWW.CHEVYTALK.ORG/FUSIONBB/SHOWTOPIC.PHP?TID/345533/ HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SWMZHHAXN5O

SIDE BLIND SPOT DETECTION FAILURE, BURNING WIRE SMELL BEFORE FAILURE. TWO DAYS LATER RIGHT SIDE MIRROR STARTS BLINKING FOR NO REASON AND THEN STOPS, LEFT SIDE DOES NOTHING STILL

GOING DOWN THE ROAD I HAD A STEERING WITH CARE LIGHT POP UP. AND I HAD TROUBLE CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A COUPLE MINUTES THERE IS NOT PROBLEM. CURRENTLY I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE SENSE OF LOOSING CONTROL OR EVEN MY LIFE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE BLIND ZONE INDICATOR LIGHT IN THE MIRROR IS MALFUNCTIONING. EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF THE THE LIGHT IS FLICKERING ON AND OFF. I HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPLACED. I EVEN ASKED IF THERE WAS A WAY TO ASSURE THAT THIS WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDN'T, BEHOLD IT'S BACK BUT NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOT HAPPY AND CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE A ELECTRICAL FIRE WHILE IT IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE OR HAVE A ISSUE WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE STEERING ASSIST DISABLED ALARM CAME ON. VEHICLE BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER !! TOOK EXTREME AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO TURN WHEEL AT ALL. WAY BEYOND WHAT A NORMAL NON ELECTRIC STEERING CAR WOULD TAKE WITH POWER STEERING OUT. VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MANAGED TO GET CAR OFF ROAD WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. STEERING GONE. $3100 TO REPLACE. RIDICULOUS FOR A 4 YEAR OLD CAR.

BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM MODULE SENSOR 23424941 ISSUE I JUST HAD MY REAR BUMPER REPLACED BY THE AUTO BODY SHOP. WHEN THEY WENT TO PULL BOTH MODULES OUT AND PLACE THEM INTO THE NEW BUMPER, BOTH OF THEM WOULD NOT FIT DUE TO A CORNER OF THE MODULES EXPANDING FROM CORROSION FROM INSIDE THE MODULE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENTS FROM GM.

SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SENSORS. I OWN A CHEVY CRUSE,CHEVY IMPALA,AND A GMC ACADIA AND ALL 3 OF THESE CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WATER,SALT AND DIRT GET INSIDE OF THESE SENSORS AND THEY SHORT OUT. ON THE IMPALA THEY SHORTED OUT AND I COULD NOT START THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. THE BATTERY DIED.WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DISCONNECTED THEM TILL THE PARTS CAME IN. STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WILL ONLY HAPPEN AGAIN THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. THIS IS A $1400 REPAIR. NOT HAPPY!

I HAVE A CHEVY IMPALA 2015 WITH 1401K MILES. I AM EXPERIENCING GM BULLETIN N172097060 SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MODULE WATER INTRUSION ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALER (MACMULKIN CHEVROLET IN NASHUA) AND GM THAT MY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY CAR HAS EXCEEDED THE 80K MILES. I TOLD THEM THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE THE NOTICE UNTIL MY CAR WELL EXCEEDED THE 80K MILEAGE. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING EXTREMELY WORSE. IT'S EFFECTING THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE CAR. THE CAR'S INSTRUMENT PANEL IS FLASHING ALL OF THE SENSOR ALERTS INTERMITTENTLY AND MY CAR WILL NOT START UNTIL I HAVE IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY CLEAR THE FAULTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

"SIDE AIRBAG WARNING SYSTEM" INDICATION. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE OBJECT DETECTION MODULE AND WIRE HARNESS HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR GM VEHICLES. THE MODULES ARE LOCATED IN A POSITION THAT HAS NO PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS. TO MAKE IT WORSE, THE MODULE ACTUALLY HAS A VENT THAT ALLOWS MOISTURE TO INFILTRATE THE MODULE. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF. GM ISSUED A LETTER TO OWNERS OF EFFECTED VEHICLES BUT IF YOU DIDN'T GET A LETTER YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. THE LETTER IS SPECIFIC ABOUT MOISTURE INFILTRATION OF THE MODULE AND OFFERS AN UPGRADED KIT TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERS HAVE NO IDEA THIS LETTER EXISTS BECAUSE IT'S TECHNICALLY NOT A RECALL. IN A NUTSHELL, GM IS AWARE THIS SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS IN THEIR VEHICLES BUT ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO AVOID DOING THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR UNDER A RECALL. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, THIS IS THE 3RD MODULE THAT HAS GONE BAD. EACH REPLACEMENT IS $983.00. I'M BUYING A TOYOTA! GM CARS ARE AWFUL AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WORSE!

A FEW WEEKS AGO I GOT A WARNING INDICATING THE VEHICLE DETECTION SENSOR WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND THEN YESTERDAY WHILE STOPPED AND IN GEAR AT A RED LIGHT ALL THE SCREENS FLICKERED AND GAUGES WHEN ALL OVER THE PLACE WHILE THROWING OVER 30 CODES ACROSS THE SCREEN INCLUDING ANTI-THEFT WHICH LOCKED ME OUT OF EVERYTHING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY AND THEY CONFIRMED OVER 30 CODES WERE THROWN. LOOKS LIKE A BAD DESIGN ON THE SENSORS THEMSELVES ALLOWS CORROSION OVER TIME ESPECIALLY IN COLDER CLIMATES LIKE MINE.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE RACK HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S A $3,000 REPAIR ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES

ROCKER ARM OIL CONTROL VALUE WAS REPLACED ONCE AND HAS WENT OUT AGAIN AND THE PIECE WAS SAID TO BE FAULTY BUT GMC CANNOT TELL ANYONE A DATE ON WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THIS PART AVAILABLE.IVE HAD THIS PART REPLACED ONCVE ALREADY AND NOW IM BEING TOLD IT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND MY CAR THAT I HAVEN'T HAD EVEN A YEAR CANT BE FIXED

THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS GO OUT EVERY FEW MONTHS I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE LIGHTS 3 TIMES IN ONE YEAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH AN ABNORMAL SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (RON CRAFT CHEVROLET 4114, I-10, BAYTOWN, TX 77521 (281) 839-2586) BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V465000(AIRBAGS) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 141,536. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AND A "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE. LOSS STARTED UPON START-UP IN MORNING AND CONTINUED THRU 25 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK. EIGHT HOURS LATER CONDITION WAS GONE AND ALL SYSTEMS NORMAL FROM START-UP TO RETURN COMMUTE HOME. DURING LOSS OF ASSIST CAR WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER.

LEAVING HOME GOING TO THE FUEL STATION TO GET GAS FOR MY CAR. I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND STARTING DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 1 MIN IN TO DRIVE MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON STATING TO SERVICE MY POWER STEERING, I COULD NOT HANDLE THE CAR, THE STEERING WAS STIFF TO TURN, I HAD TO PULL OVER SHUT DOWN THE CAR WAITED A FEW MINUTES STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL. SENSE THEN, I HAVE HAD A FEW MORE OCCURRENCES WITH THE POWER STEERING.

AUDIO DOES NOT WORK. INFO INDICATES "OFF". UNABLE TO TURN AUDIO ON.RECEIVED REAR-END BUMP. AFTERWARD NO SOUND FOR WARNING EQUIPMENT OR RADIO. THE VEHICLE WAS BEGINNING FORWARD MOVEMENT. VERY MINOR DAMAGE TO REAR BUMPER AND TRUNK AUDIO OFF AFTER DAMAGE REPAIRED..

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IS ALSO CAUSING CAR TO TURN OFF AT LIGHTS AND ONE TIME EVEN STARTED TO SMOKE. S OLD IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WASN'T. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY IT WASN'T ANYMORE BECAUSE I HAD EXCEEDED THE MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS COMMON AMONG PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS YEAR AND BRAND!

THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATES WHILE DRIVING, ELECTRICAL FAILURES CAUSE COMPONENTS TO NOT WORK AND FLICKER OF TURN SIGNALS IN PASSENGER MIRROR .

WHEN STABILIZER LIGHT COMES ON, THE VEHICLE JERKS AND THE ENGINE RUNS HARD. IT COULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN U TURN ON THE CAR. SOMETIMES THE STABILIZER LIGHT TURNS OFF WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE WOULD DRINK A LOT OF GAS WHEN THE STABILIZER IS ON.

4 TIRE SIDEWALL DRY ROT LEADING TO A PARTIAL SIDEWALL SEPARATION ON 1 TIRE, APPROXIMATELY 1 INCH IN SIZE. THESE WERE NEW 50,000 MI TIRES ON A NEW CHEVROLET. THEY WERE REPLACED AT 48,000 MI. , THERE WAS PLENTY OF TREAD AT TIME OF REPLACEMENT. ALL 4 WERE REPLACED BY DEALER. I HAVE A PICTURE IF NEEDED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BACK IN FEBRUARY A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 90,000 MILES ON IT ONE OWNER THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN POSITION AND ON THE DASH IT SAID 'SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE' I REALLY DIDNT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND AND TOLD MY SON I SHOULD GET IT CHECKED OUT BEFORE I GIVE IT TO HIM BUT HE WANTED IT NOW AND IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL 11/22/19 WHEN HE CAME OUT OF WALMART AFTER CRANKING IT AND KILLING IT AND MINUTES LATER IT RESUMED TO NORMAL. NOW I GOT TO DO SOMETHING

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF INDICATOR ABOVE WINDSHIELD ALSO GOES ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS BOTH OCCUPIED AND UNOCCUPIED AND CAN BE MADE TO GO ON AND OFF BY MOVING PASSENGER SEAT FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS. THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING. STARTED APPROX. OCT 15, 2019. TODAY IS NOV 21, 2019

WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING, I GOT AN MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I LOOKED UP THE SERVICE MESSAGE AND SAW THAT THIS CAR DOES NOT USE POWER STEERING FLUID, BUT RATHER AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE STEERING. AT THAT POINT I HAD TO LEAVE IT AT HOME SO IT CAN BE TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC. THIS HAPPENED WITH 72,180 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

THE PASSENGER, REAR SEATBELT LOCKED AND WILL NOT RELEASE. DEALERSHIP STATED THE SEATBELT FAILED BUT DID NOT KNOW WHY, BUT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE PLACING GRANDSON INTO SAFETY SEAT AND WENT TO PULL THE SEATBELT (OVER SHOULDER) AND IT WOULD NOT RELEASE. DRIVER SIDE REAR WORKS PROPERLY AS WELL AS THE LAP BELT IN CENTER. THE CAR HAS APPROX. 70600 MILES. THE REAR SEATS ARE RARELY USED. COST OF REPAIR, (WITHOUT DISMANTLING IT) IS $385. THIS FAILURE CAUSED NO INJURIES, HOWEVER IF IT FAILS LOCKING UP IS IT POSSIBLE TO FAIL COMPLETELY AND NOT SERVE IT'S SAFETY COMPONENT REQUIREMENT.

EB I84 LEAVING BAKER CITY OR, 70MPH, COMING UP ON A SERIES OF "SLOW SPEED" S CURVES AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN. MESSAGE ON DIC SAYS "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE" WHEEL WOULD HOLD WHATEVER POSITION IT WAS PUT IN AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT FORCE. NEARLY PUT THE CALL INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIER. JUST BARELY KEPT IT ON THE ROAD. STEERING WOULD NOT MAINTAIN CENTER. KEPT TRYING TO REST JUST LEFT OR RIGHT OF CENTER FORCING US TO 'WEAVE' BACK AND FORTH AS WE LIMPED THE CAR HOME.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I TOLD MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD MY MASS ENGINE AIRFLOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. RETURN TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD MY O2 SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ALONG WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAID REDUCE SPEED. AT THIS POINT, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. REVIEWING THE CHEVROLET FORUMS AND IMPALA FORUMS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. READING SOME OF THE STORIES, I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY. AIRBAG THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE CAR ISN'T RECOGNIZING SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. THEY SAID TO ME THAT GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. I SPOKE WITH A GM REPRESENTATIVE WHO CONFIRMED THE RECALL. THE GM REPRESENTATIVE SAID ALTHOUGH THE CODE IS SHOWN ON THE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED AT THE CERTIFIED DEALER MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED; HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF MY COST. HE TOLD ME THAT IF GM EXPANDED THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VIN THEN I COULD SEND IN MY RECEIPT FOR A REFUND.

OUR SAFETY ISSUE STARTED WITH COLLISION SENSORS COMING ON WHEN NO ONE WAS IN A LANE NEXT TO US. THEN THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON IN SIDE THE VEHICLE AFTER CAR WAS SHUT OFF. PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 35,000. PROBLEM SELF CORRECTED, HOWEVER AT 36,100 MILES THE SENSOR FOR INDICATING CARS IN THE BLIND SPOTS ON RIGHT SIDE OF CAR COMPLETELY FAILED. IF YOU HAVE EVER DRIVEN A 2015 IMAPA ONE WILL QUICKLY NOTICE THE LARGE BLIND SPOT AREAS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE SAFETY DEVICES. STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH KEY FOB, THEFT SYSTEM, RADIO, ETC AT 40,900 MILES. THIS BECAME A MUST FIX NOW. A MODULE KIT HAS BEEN ORDERED (02195-C) AND THIS IS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. BAD SENSOR OR SENSORS IN THE BUMPER. PART IS ON BACK ORDER SO THIS INDICATES TO ME THE PROBLEM MAY BE A BIT MORE WIDE SPREAD IMPACTING CHEVY OWNERS AND THERE SAFETY. NOW OF CONCERN I READ THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITHIN CHEVY BUT THE VEHICLE PROBLEM WAS NOT ADDRESSED IN NEW MODELS OR FIXED FOR FREE IN A TIMELY MANNER. HOPEFULLY THIS BECOMES A RECALL ITEM AND ADVERTISED TO CURRENT OWNERS.
