Summary

STABILTRAK ABS TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ALL COME ON VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND POWER IS REDUCED. RESEARCHED AND FOUND 100'S OF REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE IMPALA AND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE LIGHT TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. FIX IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE IF YOUR MECHANICALLY / ELECTRICALLY INCLINED AS INVOLVES SPLICING IN A NEW WIRE HARNESS FOR THE ABS SENSOR. SAID HARNESS IS ABOUT $20 IT SHORTS OUT DUE TO INSUFFICIENT GAUGE OF WIRE USED ON ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL. REPLACE HARNESS HAS MUCH STURDIER GAUGE FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH SAYS. REPAIR SHOP QUOTED $700 TO REPAIR GLAD I TOLD THEM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. THEY HAVE A FLEET OF IMPALAS AS LOANERS SO THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOUGING PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY REPLACE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY ABS SENSOR AND WIRING HARNESS WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S THE ABS SENSOR PERIOD. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AFTER TURNING OR GOING OVER A BUMP WIRING THAT HAS BEEN WORE THRU DUE TO PLACEMENT OF WIRING IN A HIGH FRICTION AREA, WIRE WEARS THROUGH COATING EXPOSES WIRING THAT SHORTS OUT AND SENDS CODES TO COMPUTER CONCERNING ABS STABILTRAK AND TRACTION ASSIST CAUSES VEHICLE TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED CAUSED VEHICLE TO STALL AND NOT RESTART UNTIL PROBLEM CORRECTED. I'M SURE THEY ARE GOUGED FOR A THOUSAND $ OR MORE. WET ROAD CONDITIONS,EXTREME HEAT OR COLD,LEFT TURN WHILE BACKING, JARRING BUMPS, ALL TRIGGER THE DASH TO LIGHT UP LIKE CHRISTMAS TREE DINGING ALARM GOES OFF STEERING SHUDDERS POWER IS REDUCED. IT'S A HUGE DISTRACTION AND SAFETY CONCERN FOR SO MANY TO BE EXPERIENCING GM SHOULD STAND UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

DRIVER'S SIDE BACK DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM WILL BECOME STUCK, AND DOOR WILL REMAIN LOCKED DESPITE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. FIRST NOTICED WHEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AFTER BEING PUT IN PARK AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. OTHER DOORS UNAFFECTED, AND REAR PASSENGERS WERE ABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE VIA PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR. ONLY SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE REMOVING THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELING TO ACCESS THE LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (VARIES) BUT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

Summary

WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE OF MY CAR HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. DUE TO DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS AND GEARS. KNOWN TO BEING PROBLEMATIC AND BREAKING AROUND 85,000 MILES. MANY ON LINE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ENGINE, BUT GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND DO A SAFETY RECALL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN MY ENGINE FAILED THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO ALERT US TO A PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND IT MADE A CLANGING NOISE ALONG WITH A THICK CLOUD OF BLUE SMOKE.. WE WERE LUCKY TO GET THE CAR OFF THE SIDE OF ROAD BEFORE GETTING REAR ENDED. TIMING CHAINS ARE NOT A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO LAST THE LIFE OF MOTOR. IF THEY ARE FAILING AT 85,000 MILES OR LESS WHY ISN'T A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LISTED FOR IT. OUR CAR WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED AT 4,000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC OIL. I DID NOT USE A CHEVY MAINTENANCE MECHANIC I USED A MECHANIC WHO HAS CLOSE TO 50 YEARS EXPERIENCE. JI CALLED GM UP TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPEN THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I CAN'T GO BY ON LINE FORUMS. THEY WANTED ME TO TOW THE CAR TO A CHEVY GARAGE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I ASKED THEM IF THEY CAN HAVE A MECHANIC COME TO WHERE MY CAR IS, BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD ANOTHER TOW AND IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS THE ENGINE FAILED. THEY REFUSED. I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO REPLACE A MOTOR AT 85,000 MILES WHEN MOST IMPALAS GO 200,000 MILES. AFTER ON LINE RESEARCH THERE WAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE WITH TIMING CHAINS AND ALSO A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH DIFFERENT MODELS, BUT SAME ENGINE. I HAVE NO MONEY TO REPLACE AN ENGINE AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.

THERE IS A "KNOWN" ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE CAR WILL DECELERATE AND TRAFFIC IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I FOUND THE CAUSE VIA GOOGLE AND NEEDS TO GET ADDRESSED. THE CAR WILL ALWAYS DISPLAY DRIVER FEEDBACK ON THE DASHBOARD. IT SIMULATES WHEN DRIVING THROUGH AN ICY PATCH. THE CAR WILL NOT EXCEL BUT RATHER DECELERATE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME JUST LAST WEEK TURNING INTO PAYTON MANNING CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

Summary

UPON USING THE KEY FOB TO LOCK OR UNLOCK DOORS, OR JUST OPENING AN UNLOCKED DOOR, A LOUD CLICKING SOUNDS STARTS FROM UNDER THE DASH AND CAN LAST FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND SHIFT SIDE FROM DRIVE SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE AND BACK. THE A/C NOR HEAT WORKS WHILE THE CLICKING SOUND IS MADE. WHEN YOU CHANGE SETTING FROM A/C TO HEAT, THE CLICKING SOUND STARTS AGAIN. INITIALLY, AFTER THE CLICKING SOUND STOPPED, THE A/C AND/OR HEAT WORKED FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. NOW, AT TIMES, NEITHER THE A/C NOR HEAT WORKS. IF EITHER WORKS, IT IS ONLY ONE SIDE AND IT SHIFTS AS TO WHICH SIDE WORKS. BOTH SIDES NO LONGER WORK AT ONCE. DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAVE SEPARATE A/C AND HEAT CONTROLS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND THERE IS NOT A KEY IN THE IGNITION. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS ON, WHILE IN DRIVE AND IN PARK, STATIONARY, MOVING, TURNING, STOPPED, ETC. ALWAYS MAKES THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN UNLOCKING AND LOCKING DOORS. NOT FOB RELATED BECAUSE CLICKING SOUND HAPPENS WHEN MANUALLY UNLOCKING AND LOCKING DOORS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION. (OTHER IMPALA OWNERS HAVE TOLD ME THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE) THE CLICKING SOUNDSTARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND WOULD HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY, EACH TIME THE DOOR OPENS AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. IF WE ARE UNSURE IF DOORS ARE LOCKED AND USE THE KEY FOB TO LOCK, THE CLICKING STARTS AGAIN.

I'VE HAD MY STARTER CHECKED, MY BATTERY, MY ALTERNATOR ALL THOSE CAME OUT FINE BUT THE CAR WON'T START AND THE MECHANICS ARE SAYING THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE THAT THE TRACTION SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE CAR FROM STARTING. ALSO PRIOR TO THIS I WOULD HEAR A THROOTLING SOUND AS WELL TO ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A TIRE WAS LOOSE SO K EVEN HAD THAT CHECKED BUT I BELIEVE IT'S CONNECTED TO THIS TRACTION LIGHT THAT CAME OWN BEFORE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF.

EVERY IME THEY DO, THE CAR DINGS, MAKING THE RIDE UNBEARABLE ("DING, DING, DING...DING, DING, DING" AD NASEUM). THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY, A LITTLE OVER 1.5 YEARS AGO. IT'S NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. COUNTLESS REPORTS ON FORUMS INDICATE THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS GOING TO THE HUB ASSEMBLY. GM SHOULD RECALL THIS. IT'S DISTRACTING, UNSAFE, AND SEEMINGLY UNFIXABLE IN THE LONG TERM. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE FIXED THIS IN LESS THAN 50,000 MILES DRIVEN.

Summary

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING CONTROL IN THIS VEHICLE EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT FROM SERPENTINI CHEVROLET IN STRONGSVILLE, OHIO. CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY ON 6/9/16 AT 34,770 WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ON 8/3/18, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 60039 MILES, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THE STEERING GEAR WAS LEAKING AND IT WOULD BE AN $1829.50 REPAIR. THE SYMPTOMS I AM EXPERIENCING NOW ARE THE SAME AS WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT REPAIRED CORRECTLY. IT MAKES A SCRAPING OR GRINDING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN. IF I ADD POWER STEERING FLUID, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WHICH USUALLY ONLY GETS IDENTIFIED AFTER THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

LONG STORY SHORT, IN THREE MONTHS I SPENT ABOUT $3000 ON SOMETHING THAT IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN. BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS NOW IT FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES SLIP WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON. AND THEY COME ON AND OFF AND ON AND OFF..I COULD JUST HAVE TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE LIGHTS ARE DINGING. I TRIED TO SEE IF GENERAL MOTORS WILL HELP ME, AND OF COURSE THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. AS I READ THROUGH ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS, IT MAKES ME FEEL LESS CRAZY SINCE EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO A SHOP THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE DOESN'T PICK UP ANY CODES. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. AND GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO DO BETTER IN MAKING THEIR CONSUMERS HAPPIER WITH THEIR PRODUCTS.

THE LOW PITCH GRINDING SOUND HAS OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A SLOW RIGHT HAND TURNS A FEW TIMES. THE GRINDING NOISE OCCURS ON BOTH DRY AND WET PAVEMENT. FREQUENTLY A REDUCTION IN FORWARD POWER OCCURS. INTERMITTENT WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY: STABILITY TACK NEEDS SERVICED, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND RED ABS LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN DRIVING IN BUMPY AREAS THE RED ABS LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN TAKING OFF ON AN UP HILL GRADE TRACTION CONTROL RUMBLES AND THEN I HAVE A REDUCTION IN POWER AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE MAKING MY FORWARD MOTION SLOWER THAN ANTICIPATED AND PLACING ME IN DANGER. MECHANIC USED AN ANALYZER AND SAID IT WAS MY LEFT WHEEL SENSOR. HE REPLACED THE HUB. MY PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING OUT OF THE REPAIR SHOP. NONE OF THIS OCCURS WHEN I MANUALLY TURN OFF THE STABILITY CONTROL WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR.(THE BUTTON ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD THAT HAS A DRAWING OF THE CAR AND SQUIGGLY LINES) VERY DANGEROUS, ANNOYING AND COSTLY SITUATION. RECALL NECESSARY!!!!!

Summary

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (EG 20MPH) AND THEN RE-APPLYING GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THERE IS A LARGE JUMP/KICK FROM WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE LOCK UP O F TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. ALSO THE POWERTRAIN DOESNT FEEL SMOOTH WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR NOT ROTATING ON THE CORRECT AXIS. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALER AND MECHANICS ABOUT 7 TIMES THIS YEAR ALL TO NO AVAIL. THE VIBRATIONS AND UNSMOOTHNESS AREN'T EXPERIENCED IN COMPETITOR CARS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN. THIS HAS OCCURED OVER THE COURSE OF 7 MONTHS.

Summary

THE TRACTION AND/OR SUSPENSION CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL WHEN TURNING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER (AND PASSENGERS) TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT. ONCE THE CAR GETS IN MOTION, IT MOVES AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED TO CATCH UP TO WHAT THE NORMAL SPEED WOULD HAVE BEEN. THIS HAPPENS MAINLY ON CITY STREETS AS A RESULT OF TURNING. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN TIMES THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO BE IN MOTION WHEN SIMPLY STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN AND DRIVING FORWARD.

UNWANTED TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEED. IT USUALLY HAPPENS FROM A STOP WHEN TURNING LEFT, BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED WHEN TURNING LEFT, WHEN GOING STRAIGHT OVER A BUMPY ROAD AND ALSO WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE ROADS ARE DRY. TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ACTIVATES WITH A DISTINCT NOISE AND VEHICLE HESITATION. DASH LIGHTS/NOTIFICATIONS ARE USUALLY NOT ACTIVATED HOWEVER SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL HAS APPEARED A FEW TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ONE AND A HALF YEARS VERY INTERMITTENTLY, BUT HAS BECOME CONSTANT NOW EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR 6 DAYS OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I FINALLY DROVE WITH A MECHANIC AND EASILY REPLICATED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR A 4TH TIME (AFTER THE MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM). THE CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE PROBLEM MUST BE REPAIRED PERMANENTLY.

I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE THE WHEEL HUB OR BEARINGS IS BAD. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER IMPALA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS 78,000 MILES AND MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHEVROLET BY A RECALL. ASAP I AM NEEDING TO DRIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY OF ROUND TRIP MILES OF 4,000. VERY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR , AFRAID THAT IT IS THE BEARING AND WILL LOCK UP ON ME ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRVING AT ANY SPEED THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ACTIVATED RESULTING IN REDUCED POWER, LEFT SIDE NOISE FROM WHEEL AND RUMBLING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY SHOP AND PAID OVER 500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE "GYRO". COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THE ALTERNATOR HAS NO PROBLEMS OR CODES WHEN IT WAS CHECKED. THE ONLY CODES THAT SHOWS POINT TO THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM!!!. FUSTRATED WITH CHEVY DO TO LACK OF CONCERN. CONSIDERING THE LEMON LAW AS A MEANS OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY LAST CHEVY PRODUCT!!!!!!

BOUGHT MY 2013 IMPALA USED BUT AROUND 25000 MILES STARTED GETTING ISSUES WITH TURNING LEFT AND ACCELERATING. THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL ENGAGE AND CAUSE THE CAR TO HESITATE. BIG ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO CROSS IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD INTO THE DEALER MANY TIMES BUT THEY DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. TWICE I HAVE HAD ALL THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND POWER REDUCED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE COMPUTER TWICE FOR THAT ONE. THIS MIGHT BE MY LAST CHEVY. 3/36 WARRANTY IS A JOKE ANYMORE!

LIGHT STAYS ON 5-10 MINUTES GOES OUT RANDOMLY DEALERS BAFFLED FOR THE CAUSE, DEALER SAYS UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE IT, WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON THEY CAN'T SERVICE. ,I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT MIDAS THEY CHECKED IT SAID IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING SENSOR THAT GOVERNS THAT I REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARING , OKAY FOR A WHILE NOW BACK ON AGAIN IN LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES. STABILITY CONTROL IS VERY VALUABLE FOR CARS NOWADAYS SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY FACTOR IF STABILITY CONTROL IS LOST. REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE REPLACING ALL THE WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE FRONT HUBS AND EVERYTHING AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPPED POSITION, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING TO EITHER SIDE, EXPERIENCED A GRINDING NOISE, LOSS OF POWER, DIMMING LIGHTS, AND ABS LIGHT COMING ON. GRINDING NOISE COMES FROM LOWER ENGINE AREA IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. REPEATED OCCURRENCES ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. NOT KNOWN WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT APPEARS TO BE TIED TO ABS/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. POSTINGS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS HAVE APPEARED IN VARIOUS WEBSITES DEALING WITH FREQUENT PROBLEMS OF SPECIFIC VEHICLES. GM DEALER CHARGED ME DIAGNOSIS FEE, BUT FOUND NOTHING. GM DEALER SAID IN ORDER TO FIND THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO BRING CAR IN WHEN ABS LIGHT WAS ON. I AM CONCERNED THAT I AM DUE FOR A SIGNIFICANT FAILURE BEFORE DEALER FINDS THE PROBLEM, OR ACKNOWLEDGES SAME. ALTHOUGH I REFERENCE ONE DATE OF OCCURRENCE, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 6 MONTHS WITH INCREASING EVENTS AS OF LATE.

Summary

PLEASE REFERENCE COMPLAINT NUMBER 10899363 FILED ON 8/29/2016. ON 8/30/2016 TWO ADDITTIONAL TIRES OF THE SAME DOT NUMBER WERE FOUND TO HAVE SIMILAR DEFECTS ON THE SAME VEHICLE, BUT HAD NOT COMPLETELY FAILED WITH A BLOWOUT OR AIR LEAKDOWN. THE TWO ADDITTIONAL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ON THE SAME VEHICLE WERE FOUND, DURING INSPECTION WITH THE VEHICLE STATIONARY, TO HAVE SEPARATIONS/BULGES AT THE INNER TIRE EDGE WHERE THE TIRE FACE MEETS THE SIDEWALL. NEITHER OF THESE TIRES CAUSED ANY "THUMPING" DURING DRIVING; HOWEVER, EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT THE SEPARATION HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR ENOUGH TIME TO ALLOW WEAR OF THE RAISED AREA AND FATIGUE CRACKING/CHECKING IN THE SIPES OVERLYING THE SEPARATED AREA. IN ALL CASES, THE SEPARATED AREA WAS PRESSURIZED AND COULD BE PUSHED IN UNTIL THE OUTER TIRE RUBBER CONTACTED THE INNER BODY OF THE TIRE. ADDITTIONALLY THERE WAS NO AIR LEAKAGE OR REDUCTION IN TIRE PRESSURE. MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THE OBSERVED DEFECT ON THESE TWO ADDITTIONAL TIRES WAS 39,000. THE DOT NUMBER OF THE TWO ADDITTIONAL AFFECTED TIRES IS M643 BHDR 3912. BE ADVISED THAT ALL TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED TO THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATION. THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWS THE SWELLING/SEPARATION/CRACKING/WEAR AT THE TIRE EDGE OF ONE OF THE TWO ADDITTIONAL TIRES FROM DOT NUMBER M643 BHDR 3912 - OBSERVED DEFECT ON 8/30/2016 WAS SIMILAR ON BOTH OF THESE TIRES. DUE THE THE NATURE OF THIS FAILURE, WHERE SEPARATION HAD OBVIOUSLY BEEN ONGOING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AS INDICATED BY THE WEAR AND CHECKING PATTERN BUT NO "ROAD FEEL" OF THE FAILURE, A DRIVER COULD EASILY END UP WITH AN INSTANT FAILURE/BLOWOUT AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING AS HAPPENED WITH A TIRE ON THIS CAR AS REPORTED IN COMPLAINT 10899363. IN ALL CASES, THE FAILURE WAS ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE TIRE AND NOT READILY OR EASILY BE FOUND WITHOUT A DETAILED INSPECTION.

BRAKE AND STEERING SYSTEM DEFECT. WHILE DRIVING THE ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILI-TRAK, AND BRAKE ASSIST LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC AT MODERATE SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM (WHAT!!!!) AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE DRIVETRAIN BUT ONLY PART OF THE 30K COVERAGE. THEY THEN SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THEY COULD LOOK AT THE CAR. (BRAKE AND STEERING ISSUES NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM?) IN DOING SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH CHEVEROLET AND GM VEHICLES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE PROBLEM THERE HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAKE, STABILITY SYSTEM. SOME EVEN REPORTED TO YOUR DEPARTMENT. IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOUR DEPARTMENT WOULD BE PROACTIVE AND HAVE THIS ISSUE INVESTIGATED BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN GM. BEFORE THERE ARE FATALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. PERHAPS YOU COULD SPEND SOME TIME LOOKING AT THE VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE WEB AND SEE THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM HERE. I DOUBT ANYTHING WILL BE DONE BUT THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO VENT. I AM WRITING THIS TO HELP MY SON OUT SINCE IT IS HIS CAR, AND HE A) HAS A FULL LOAD IN COLLEGE AND B) HE IS A LESS HAPPY CAMPER THAN I AM. *TR

Summary

A FEW WEEKS AGO OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. SHE INFORMED US THAT THE CAR JUST "TOOK OFF BY ITSELF." WE JUST ATTRIBUTED IT TO HER NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE CAR. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT, AT ABOUT 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET, CAR SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AS IF SHE HAD SLAMMED ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. PUSHING ON THE BRAKE ENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION, ENGINE RETURNED TO IDLE, SO I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT PROBLEM IS POSSIBLY RELATED TO CRUISE CONTROL CIRCUITS AND THAT BRAKE MAY HAVE DISENGAGED CRUISE. CRUISE CONTROL CIRCUIT WAS "ON", SINCE WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CRUISING ON INTERSTATE, BUT WAS NOT ENGAGED (OR SET) WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS PROBLEM CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, OCCURRED TWICE IN A WEEK'S TIME, THEN DISAPPEARED. WE ARE WONDERING IF IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN. 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA W/ 60,000 MILES

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR STANDARD OIL CHANGE. WHILE COMPLETING INSPECTION FORM THEY INDICATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN IS LEAKING. THEY RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT FOR $1,300.00. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 57,000 MILES ON IT. I TOLD THEM NOT TO REPLACE IT. THEY STATED YOU COULD HAVE A SMALL LEAK FOR MANY YEARS BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY GET WORSE AND LEADING TO STEERING FAILURE. I ASKED ABOUT THIS BEING UNDER WARRANTY BUT OF COURSE I WAS 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT WITH NO ISSUES YET. I AM HOPING THAT A RECALL WILL BE RECOMMENDED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I MOSTLY DO HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH THIS VEHICLE AND PUT ON 70 MILES A DAY.

I BOUGHT A 2013 CHEVY IMPALA. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR FOR EVEN A YEAR YET, AND EVERY TIME I TURN THE CAR ON YOU CAN HEAR A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. EVERY TIME I TURN THE CAR ON OR OFF. I CHECKED WITH A MECHANIC, HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHOLE DASH BOARD IN ORDER TO FIX IT! I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2008 ALSO IMPALA AS WELL, AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS 2013 IMPALA IS BECAUSE I LIKE CHEVY'S, BUT I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN THAT IS A SHAME THAT YOUR COMPANY DOESN'T DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

BOUGHT MY 2013 CHEVY IMPALA USED WITH A LITTLE OVER 40 THOUSAND MILES, AND WITHIN A WEEK THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP/STATIONARY POSITION. DOES IT NOW DAILY ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ALSO MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. ALSO CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL UNTIL I RELEASE THE GAS AND HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS WITH TRAFFIC COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. IT HAS ALSO MADE THE GRINDING NOISE AND THE DASH LIGHTS UP WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY.I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS KEPT FOR A DAY BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE WHAT I KEEP READING FROM EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINT SO EITHER WERE ALL CRAZY OR CHEVY DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IT.THIS ISSUE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CAUSED WHEN DRIVING ON RESIDENTIAL AND CITY STREETS NEVER ON THE HIGHWAY SO FAR THANK GOD. HAVE ONLY HAD PROBLEMS WHEN HAVING TO TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON RAMP BUT DOES NOT DO IT ON THE ACTUAL HIGHWAY. AS OF NOW THIS PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN TO ME AND "APPARENTLY" TO GM AS WELL.

MY 2013 IMPALA LTZ WILL SUDDENLY DECELERATE TO AROUND 35 MPH AND HESITATE WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. THREE MESSAGES POP UP, "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK". THIS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I BROUGHT IT RIGHT IN TO GLOBAL CHEVY IN NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ. THEY FIXED AND IT SEEMED FINE BUT NOW HAPPENING AGAIN BUT THIS TIME, I ALMOST GOT T-BONED IN AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE FOUND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE IN MANY DIFFERENT FORUMS. NOW I NEED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!!!!!! I ALMOST GOT SMASHED AND I WILL BE MAKING SURE THIS IS DOCUMENTED IN AS MANY FORUMS AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS A CHEVY PROBLEM. I GOT CHARGED OVER $650 TO FIX THIS LAST TIME!!!!!!!! I AM UPSET AS HELL AND NOT REALLY SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS. I NEED TO DRIVE MY KIDS AROUND IN THIS TIME BOMB NOW? I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUCH A DANGER TO OPERATE. SECONDARY ISSUE IS THAT SOMETIMES WHEN BACKING OUT OF A SPOT IN REVERSE, APPLYING DRIVE AND TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD, THE SOUNDS LIKE GEARS GRINDING THAT GOES AWAY IF I STRAIGHTEN THE WHEEL OUT. WTH IS THAT?? THIS HAPPENED AT THE LIGHT ON CENTENNIAL AVENUE IN PISCATAWAY NJ CROSSING OVER S WASHINGTON AVE. WAS STATIONARY, THEN IN MOTION. THE AUTO DECELERATION HAPPENED WHILE AT SPEED OF 35 MPH AND THEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. I HAVE AN INVOICE FOR THE FIRST REPAIR. I WOULD APPRECIATE EXPEDITED HELP ON THE MATTER.

I WENT OUT TO AIR IT UP AND WHILE AIRING IT UP I NOTICED A PLY SEPARATION ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. SO I PUT THE "DONUT" ON AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY TO REPLACE THAT TIRE, ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT ANOTHER TIRE WAS WORSE THAN THE ONE I INDICATED. SO NOT TRUSTING THE FOURTH TIRE I HAD THE THREE ORIGINAL TIRES REPLACED. THESE TIRES WERE GOODYEAR, THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT NEW. MY WIFE CALLED GOODYEAR AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE TIRES TO MOODY'S A GOODYEAR STORE IN FRANKLIN TN AND HAVE THE TIRES ASSESSED WHICH WE DID AND THEY CALLED GOODYEAR AND GAVE THEM THEIR REPORT.

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE BACK IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AFTER I RECEIVED A WARNING MESSAGE ABOUT THE STABILITRAK, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL. I WAS HEARING AND FEELING A SCRAPING NOISE ESPECIALLY WHEN I TURNED LEFT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE SPEED SENSOR AND HARNESS. I THOUGHT THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. AT THE END OF JUNE I TOOK MY CAR BACK AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. OF COURSE THE SERVICE TECH COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SOUND. HERE WE ARE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN THIS MORNING. I DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING TO BE FOUND BECAUSE APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM NEVER COMES UP AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TECHS CAN NEVER DUPLICATE IT. OUR TECH TOLD US THIS MORNING THAT IF THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AGAIN THIS TIME, THEN I WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE TECH TO SEE IF I CAN DUPLICATE IT. I'M HOPING THIS CAN FINALLY BE TAKEN CARE OF BUT BECAUSE MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I DOUBT ANYTHING WILL COME OF IT. ONCE MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT I'M THINKING THE TECH WILL BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT AND CHARGE ME A LOT OF $$ TO FIX IT.

IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT IT ISN'T CORRECTED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT GIVES ME THE IMPRESSION SINCE THEY CAN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM,IT'S NOT A PROBLEM TO THEM.

WHEN STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE SAME TIME, THE ABS SENSOR KICKS IN AND THE CAR MAKES THE ABS SOUND, THE ABS LIGHTS UP ON THE DASHAND THEN IT RELEASES AND YOU CAN DRIVE NORMAL.

Summary

I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 3 MONTHS AGO AND ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH TRACTION CONTROL, ABS AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. IT SEEMS I GET THIS PROBLEM WHEN I JUST START MY CAR AND TRY TO TURN THE WHEEL RIGHT, AT LOW SPEEDS IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GRINDING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN (NOT CONSISTENT) AND EVERY TIME IT GRINDS I GET A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT POP UP. THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WHEN THERE IS NO RAIN OR SNOW ON THE ROAD. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET IMPALA'S. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!

Summary

GRINDING NOISE FROM FRONT AND ABS ENGAGES THE BRAKES AND LOW TRACTION LIGHT FLASHES ON WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND TURNING LEFT AT THE SAME TIME, DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ACCELERATE SLOW OR FAST AND THIS IS HAPPENING ON DRY PAVEMENT. IF I TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL IT WILL NOT DO IT, SO I ASSUME THE PROBLEM MUST EXIST IN A SPEED SENSOR OR SOMETHING WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSORS OR WIRING. OF COURSE MECHANICS CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS. WAITING FOR GM TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX.

Summary

FIRST MY SERVICE ABS TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS A LOUD METAL GRINDING NOISE HAPPENED AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC HE REPLACED THE BEARING AND SENSORS WHICH HELPED WITH THE SERVICE LIGHTS BUT THE GRINDING STILL HAPPENED. THE NOISE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STILL CONTINUED WHILE TURNING JUST NOT AS MUCH AS BEFORE. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE PART TWICE!! TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE GRINDING AND TRACTION CONTROL FLASHING HE DROVE IT AROUND AND HE COULD NOT MAKE THE NOISE HAPPEN SO HE COULD NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS BRAKING ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON WHILE I DRIVE MY 2013 IMPALA LTZ. MY MECHANICS CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS NEITHER CAN ANY IMPALA OWNER OR MECHANIC. BUT I'M 99% SURE WHEN I DRIVE IT TONIGHT TO VISIT FRIENDS I WILL HEAR A METAL ON METAL GRINDING NOISE I JUST HOPE NOT WHILE IM ON THE FREEWAY WHERE I CAN GET KILLED. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING COMING FROM A STOP OR AS SIMPLE AS ME BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

Summary

I WENT TO START MY CAR THE KEY WAS IMMEDIATELY "LOCKED" INSIDE THE IGNITION ..LOCKING EVERYTHING IN THE CAR UP, FROM THE BRAKES TO THE ELECTRICAL . YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TURN IT 4X (A,B,C,D(ON) IT WOULD NOT LET YOU GO PAST C. THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT, I HAD IT JUMPED IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY OUT . I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT HAD TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING RECALLED, BUT NO HALL CHEVROLET SAID IT WAS JUST THE BATTERY. SO WHEN YOUR BATTERY GOES BAD, IT IS NORMAL FOR THE KEY TO BE LOCKED ALMOST "EATEN" BY THE IGNITION. THERE WAS NO WARNING IT WAS THE BATTERY, NOTHING. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR 29 DAYS. I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS NO BATTERY? *TR

2013 CHEVY IMPALA WITH APPROXIMATELY 38860 MILES. 3.31.2015 DEVELOPED A GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHEN TURNING SHARP LEFT, CAUSES THE CAR TO HESITATE, MAKING IT A VERY DANGEROUS. OCCURRED A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP OPENED. I TOOK IT INTO BOWMAN CHEVY IN CLARKSTON THEY DROVE IT & IT DIDN'T OCCUR FOR THEM AND THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN, & WITH GREAT CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, JOE LUNGHAMER CHEVROLET IN WATERFORD. THEY DID KEEP MY CAR ALL DAY & GAVE ME A INVOICE THAT STATES: NPF OPERATING TO MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTION WAS DONE. THEY GAVE MY CAR BACK & SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. SAD TO SAY GENERAL MOTORS MAY BE PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER, AS THEY DID MANY OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE RECALLING FOR THE IGNITION CONTROL. AT THIS TIME MY CAR IS CLOSE TO 3000 MILES OVER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, I BELIEVE THEY'D TRY HARDER IF IT WAS UNDER 36000 MILES. BOTH DEALERSHIPS SAID THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. BOWMAN CHEVY SAID THE FEES WOULD START AT $100 TO DIAGNOSE, AND GO UP & MADE IT CLEAR IT COULD TAKE UP TO A WEEK OR MORE TO DIAGNOSE & TO WAIT UNTIL IT DOES IT ON A REGULAR BASIS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IT'S NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD AND I'M STILL PAYING ON. THERE ARE OTHERS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE THE SAME AS MINE, ALONG WITH DIFFERENT SITES AND IMPALA FORUMS THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS. MY CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPERIENCE. I WANT THIS FILED SO OTHERS KNOW, MY CAR IS NOT SAFE.WHO HAS TO DIE TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT AND RECALLED? AGAIN, 2013 IMPALA - GRINDING NOISE WHEN MAKING SHARP LEFT AND HESITATES CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO [XXX] IF YOU ARE ABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

EVENTUALLY THE GAUGE LIGHTS, AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I TURNED IT OFF IN PARK AND THEN TURNED IT ON AGAIN. THE STABILITRAC AND AIR BAG WARNINGS WERE STILL ON, BUT THE REST OF THE LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL SEEMED TO BE WORKING. EVENTUALLY THE STABILITRAC AND AIR BAG WARNINGS STOPPED.

Summary

WHILE HEADING SOUTH ON OHIO I675 JUST SOUTH OF I35, THE GAS WAS NO LONGER BEING PUMPED TO THE ENGINE. I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT THE CAR WAS ALMOST STOPPED BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. I CALLED AAA AND THEN LANG'S AUTO DEALERSHIP TO MAKE SURE I COULD GET THE CAR IN ON A SATURDAY. AAA RESPONDED QUICKLY AND REPLACED THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, THE FIRST WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO LANG'S. THEY FOUND THAT THE DRAIN WIRE IN CONNECTOR X200 A1 SHORTED TO CIRCUIT 3640 A3 IN X200. THE FIX WAS TO RE-POSITION THE DRAIN WIRE TO NOT CONTACT THE FSCM WIRE TERMINAL AT X200. DOC ID 2585199 LOCATION K-16. HAD SEVERAL COMMUNICATIONS WITH LANG'S SERVICE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE MECHANIC KNEW THE FIX SINCE HE HAD DONE THIS BEFORE. I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO REPORT THIS TO GM TO HOPEFULLY CREATE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER: THE WIRING REPAIR WAS DONE AT A CONNECTOR IN THE RIGHT LOWER HUSH PANEL AREA BY THE LOWER DOOR HINGE. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THIS DO TO EXPERIENCE AND PROPER DIAGNOSIS. THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU DID TO CREATE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT CORRECTLY MANUFACTURED FROM THE SUPPLIER OF THE HARNESS/CONNECTOR. AND: ALL WARRANTY REPAIRS ARE LOOKED AT BY GENERAL MOTORS BUT I WILL FORWARD YOUR CONCERNS TO MY AREA REPRESENTATIVE. MY CONCERN IS THERE ARE MORE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH ARE KNOWN BUT NOT RECALLED. ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING SUBARU WAS BEING SUED FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE MORE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE A BREAKDOWN THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF HARMS WAY. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE ANY RESULTS FROM THIS REPORTING INCIDENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 IMPALA IN NOVEMBER WITH 19,000 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED A BANG IN THE FRONT END WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY CUTTING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. THE DRIVERS TIRE IS WEARING UNEVEN BECAUSE THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF "BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY AND WITHIN SPECS". STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AT 45-50 MPH WITHOUT PULLING. GO OVER A BUMP AND FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE FLOOR UNDER MY FEET! IT HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE DONE THE FOLLOWING: 1. TIGHTEN MOTOR MOUNT 2. HAD IT HALF A DAY TO REPLACE A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT (SAME ONE THEY TIGHTENED TWO WEEKS EARLIER) 3. HAD IT ALL DAY TO "LISTEN FOR THE NOISE", HEARD IT AND ORDERED A STRUT SPACER 4. HAD IT HALF A DAY TO REPLACE STRUT SPACER, DID NOT STOP THE NOISE THEY HAVE HEARD THE NOISE 3 TIMES AND MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I SUGGESTED THE RACK AND PINION BUT WAS TOLD GM WILL NOT PAY THEM TO EXPLORE MY FRONT END.

Summary

WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS (LIKE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY) THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON; THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL MAKES A GRINDING NOISE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LIGHT BLINKING; THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER, LIKE THE CAR IS BEING HELD BACK BY SOMETHING. SAME HAPPENS WHEN TURNING, ON A HILL COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP BUT THIS IS RANDOM AND NOT EASILY RE-CREATED. I'VE ALSO NOTICED A WOBBLE IN THE STEERING WHEN TAKING BENDS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE A FEW DAYS AGO. I'VE RESORTED TO TURNING THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THIS SEEMS TO AMELIORATE THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND DEMONSTRATED THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND THEY AGREED THAT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT PERFORMING AS IT SHOULD. THEY HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING STRUCTURALLY WRONG WITH ANY OF THE COMPONENTS THAT HE COULD TELL AND THAT THERE WERE "NO CODES BEING THROWN" - WHATEVER THAT MEANS. SO THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME, IT CANNOT BE "FIXED" BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO GM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEMONSTRABLE EQUIPMENT FAILURE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL -A SAFETY FEATURE!- ON MY CAR TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT LOOSING POWER AT THE WORST TIMES. MY CAR IS A 2013 CHEVY IMPALA LS WITH ALMOST 15,500 MILES ON IT. *TR

Summary

THE WIPERS HAD ICE ON THEM AS WELL AS THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD ON 01/25/14 A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT MY CAR. THE DEFROSTER HAD BEEN ON ALL THE TIME DURING MY DRIVE HOME, ABOUT 1 HOUR. I HAD TO STOP A NUMBER OF TIMES TO KNOCK THE ICE OFF THE WIPERS AND SCRAPE THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 04/03/14 WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE MPLS AIRPORT. I HAD PUT ON NEW WIPERS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, YET THESE WIPERS ICED UP AS WELL. I AGAIN HAD THE DEFROSTER ON, SOMETIMES IT WAS FULL BLAST. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE WIPER BLADES ON THE 4/3 DRIVE. I SHOWED THEM TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE DEFROSTERS WERE WORKING FINE. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO THERE IS TERRIBLE ROAD/WIND NOISE. I HAVE RECORDED IT. I HAD ALL THE WINDOWS UP, NOTHING WAS TURNED ON AND THE NOISE IS TERRIBLE. EVEN WHEN AT A STOP, YOU CAN HEAR THE NOISE OF THE PASSING CARS 2 OR MORE LANES AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR IT. THEY ARE WORKING WITH ME TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. SO I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT WITH THE CAR. I AM THINKING OF TAKING IT TO A BODY SHOP AND SEE WHAT THEY THINK OF THE ROAD/WIND NOISE. I EVEN WEAR EARPLUGS IF I HAVE TO GO VERY FAR BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND TO LISTEN TO THE NOISE. I USED TO LOVE TO GET IN THE CAR AND JUST DRIVE, WITH NO RADIO ON, I DON'T IN THIS CAR. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PICTURE OF THE WIPER BLADES OR LISTEN TO THE NOISE IN MY CAR I CAN SEND THOSE TO YOU. *TR

GM CUSTOMER CARE WAS CLOSED AT THAT TIME, HOWEVER NEXT MORNING THE SERVICE WARNING WAS OFF...BUT I STILL FOLLOWED UP WITH GM. THE CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVE SAID MOST LIKELY IF THE SERVICE WARNING WENT OFF - IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. HOWEVER, I WAS ALSO ABLE TO CONFIRM AT THAT TIME THAT BECAUSE I HAVE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, IT IS A COVERED ISSUE AND I COULD STILL TAKE IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT AND ANY AUTHORIZED GM DEALER.

Summary

2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA RENTAL CAR. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SHIFT INDICATOR ISSUES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED GM THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO REMOVE THE LETTERS FROM THE SHIFT INDICATOR CONSOLE BETWEEN THE TWO FRONT SEATS. INSTEAD, GM PUT THE SHIFT INDICATOR AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE SPEEDOMETER, DIRECTLY OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT, THE SHIFT INDICATOR ON THE CONSOLE DASH WAS BLOCKED BY THE STEERING WHEEL. FURTHERMORE, THE HANDS OF THE DRIVER, WOULD ALSO BLOCK THE INDICATOR ON THE SPEEDOMETER.
