Vehicle jerks and shakes when I accelerate. Took to dealership stated torque issue in transmission. New transmission needed. Purchased Nov 2020 from same dealership only has 112500 miles. This should be recall.
Vehicle was driving and operating as normal. I Drove to shopping center, was in store for an hour and came out to a car full of smoke when door opened. There appeared to be a fire that had started and stopped originating from the drivers side door panel.
Evaporator core failure; GM issued a bulletin regarding this repair but my 2017 Impala that meets all other criteria for some reason "is not covered" by this; the evaporator core was confirmed to be faulty by a non-dealer mechanic; this released refrigerant into my garage; the bulletin in reference is N182186881; I phoned GM regarding this bulletin and they advised me to file this complaint here
Found leaking bright green substance on driveway. AC disabled/blowing air with no cooling affect. After trying to reach Donovan at an 800 number referenced in other complaints that number is now associated with 3M disability program. This is very much a health issue and should be a national recall. The evaporator core must be replaced at no cost to the vehicle owner as this is a known defective part. Freon is dangerous to breathe.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle also failed to start intermittently. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
THE CONTACT'S WIFE OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, SHE WOULD SMELL AN ABNORMAL, EXHAUST ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE'S CABIN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, HE HAD HEARD A LOUD NOISE EMIT FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT THEN PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND UPON INSPECTION OF THE HOOD, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD BROKEN OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND THEN CALLED EL DORADO CHEVROLET(2300 N CENTRAL EXPY, MCKINNEY, TX 75070) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WERE ZERO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE; THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NHTSA ID NUMBER:10116660 WHICH HE LINKED TO HIS FAILURE. RECENTLY, THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUNG CANCER AND THE CONTACT HAD LINKED THE PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE EXHAUST ODOR AS THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT THAT STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT MOUNT DETACHED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PETERS CHEVROLET BUICK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (4181 US-259, LONGVIEW, TX 75605, (877) 615-3187) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.
AIR CONDITION QUIT BLOWING COLD AIR. TOOK IT TO THE PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THEY PERFORMED A DYE TEST AND FOUND THAT DYE WAS COMING FROM AC DRAIN FROM FIRE WALL. VERIFIED REFRIGERANT LEAKING FROM EVAPORATOR. JUDGING FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE, I BELIEVE THAT THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE FULLY PAID FOR.
A/C EVAPORATOR CORE LEAKS ALL THE REFRIGERANT, LEAVE A BIG SPOT OF REFRIGERANT ON MY DRIVEWAY AFTER WE DID RETURN FOR A SHORT TRIP, THE COST IS TOO HIGH TO REPLACE IT AND I THINK WE DESERVE FULL COVERAGE OF PARTS AND LABOR, I HAVE BEEN A GM CUSTOMER ALL MY LIFE AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT ONE OF OUR VEHICLES SHOWS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
THE AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR IS LEAKING UNDER NORMAL USE. I WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED WITH A SPECIAL GM COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT N182186881. MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT. I DID TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER WHO INSTALLED A DYE AND RECHARGED THE SYSTEM TO DETERMINE WHERE THE A/C LEAK IS.
TAIL LIGHT GASKET, WATER LEAK INTO THE SPARE COMPONENT.
BRAKE PEDAL SQUEAK WHEN RELEASED.
WHEN DRIVING UP HILL AT LOW SPEED A ROUGH CLUCK OCCURS WHEN GEAR CHANGES TAKE PLACE BETWEEN 2ND TO 1ST GEAR.
BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. INFORMED DEALERSHIP OF LOUD EXHAUST SOUND. ASKED IF THEY COULD CHECK FO AN EXHAUST LEAK. UPON PICKING UP MY VEHICLE I WAS INFORMED THE LOUD EXHAUST WAS DUE TO A CRACK IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I ASKED WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. THEY WERE UNSURE OF CAUSE IT IS NOT A NORMAL ISSUE FOR THE MILEAGE AND AGE OF VEHICLE. THEY DID PROVIDE ME WITH A QUOTE TO REPAIR. I TOOK MY CAR TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT THIS PART WAS FAULTY FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT A RECALL COULD BE POSSIBLE AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT GM.
STARTING IN MARCH 2019 THE 2017 CHEVY IMPALA ENGINE WOULD STOP AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. IT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT OR WHENEVER I STOP THE VEHICLE. THEN IN JULY OF 2019 THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. IT WOULDN'T REVERSE OR GO FORWARD. IT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A TRANSMISSION LEAK. ALL THE TRANSMISSION OIL HAD LEAKED OUT. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS WHICH THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. MY TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED BY NOW. A 2017 CHEVY IMPALA SHOULD NOT HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS UNLESS THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DEFECT.
ONCE DRIVEN,CAR WILL NOT RE-START. THIS WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY . NO CLICKING,NO DASH LIGHTS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING; AS IF NO BATTERY IN CAR. HAD IT DIAGOSED IN SHOP TWICE NOW, CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG (CANNOT DUPLICATE NO START). I NOTICED IN CAR COMPLAINTS .COM THAT SOMEONE IN HORN LAKE, MS HAD SMILAR ISSUE WHILE DRIVING ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIUOS SAFETY ISSUE!!!!
THE PASSENGER SIDE BLIND SIDE DETECTOR SYSTEM STAYS ON PERMANENTLY.
TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF MY 2017 CHEVY IMAPLA LT WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ON 9/26/20. I HAVE 164,000 ON THE VEHICLE AND ACCORDING TO VEHICLEREPORTS.COM THE LIFETIME EXPECTANCY OF THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES ARE ONLY 160,000. THE TORQUE CONVERTER INSIDE ON THE TRANSMISSION ARE KNOWN FOR FAILING AND COSTING MANY CUSTOMERS SUCH AS MYSELF TONS IN REPAIR COSTS. THERE ARE MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE BAD SHIFTING IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR ON THESE VEHICLES. THE TRANSMISSION JERKED SO BAD REPEATEDLY UNTIL IT CAUSED HEADACHES.
WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR A WHIT CLOUD OF SMOKE FILLED THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR MAKING THE VISION VERY BURRY. I PARKED MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE THE MECHANIC COULD LOOK AT IT. HE REPORTED THAT THE A/C EVAPORATOR CORE RUPTURED AND LEAKING FERON INSIDE THE CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SEEMED AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING MOTIVE POWER. THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,836.
MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON NOW ROUGHLY TWO MONTHS AND SOMETIMES I'M ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOPING THAT IT WON'T DEPLOY WHILE I'M DRIVING BUT IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK.I HAVE CHECKED ALL FUSES I HAVE GOTTEN SOMEONE TO PUT A TESTER LIGHT ON IT TO MAKE SURE THE WIRES ARE NOT BROKENAND THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE FUSES ALL THE WIRES SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT FIRST CAME ON
EVAPORATOR CORE NEEDS REPLACING,BROKE WHILE DRIVING BREATHING IN DANGEROUS FUMES
I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CAR STALLING, AND CHANGING GEARS SLOW. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE PURGE VALVE WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT ON 7/3/20. MY MOM HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER CHEVY TRAX AND A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP IN A DIFFERENT CITY SAID THAT HER PURGE VALVE WAS STUCK OPEN AND REPLACED IT. ALSO MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON NOW. I SAW THAT [XXX] HAS RECALLS ON CERTAIN VEHICLES BUT MY CHEVY ISN'T LISTED. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
GM SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT [XXX] COVERS THE EVAPORATOR CORE ICING, LEAK. MY VEHICLE IS IN THE COVERED MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, RPO, ENDING TYPE, MILEAGE AND AGE TO QUALIFY FOR THIS COVERAGE. GM REFUSES COVERAGE SAYING THAT THE COVERAGE IS VIN SPECIFIC. THE SENIOR AGENT [XXX] AT [XXX], EXTENSION [XXX] SAYS THERE IS NO APPEAL PROCESS OR ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I NOTICED THE CAR'S (2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA) A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. I TOOK IT IN FOR AN A/C CHECK. PER THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE ADVISOR, THERE IS AN EVAPORATOR CORE LEAK INTO DASHBOARD. GM HAS RELEASED TWO SPECIAL OVERAGE BULLETINS (N182186880 & N182186881) IDENTIFYING THE ISSUE AND THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL (2016-2018 IMPALAS 3.6). ALSO, PER THIS BULLETIN, IT STATED IT IDENTIFIED THE VINS THIS IMPACTED, BUT I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CAR. IT DOES NOT STATE WHY SOME IMPALAS WERE NOT SELECTED. BUT DIFFERENT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, SHOW THERE ARE MORE IMPALAS AND THEIR OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. SEE HTTPS://WWW.IMPALAFORUMS.COM/THREADS/EVAPORATOR-REPLACEMENT.1841471/ . DUE TO VOLUME OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.
I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN I WENT AND CHECKED IT IT WAS A P236 CODE IN A P069E I ALSO WENT TO CHECK IT BECAUSE I NOTICED MY CAR WAS STARTING UP FUNNY
EVAPORATOR CORE FOR AIR CONDITIONING LEAKING. IT WAS CONFIRMED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP QUOTED AN ESTIMATED REPAIR PRICE. I DECIDED TO GO WITH ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP. THE THIRD PARTY REPAIR SHOP MADE ME AWARE OF A SPECIAL BULLETIN ON MY VEHICLE(N182186881). THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP STATES THEY DO NOT KNOW OF ANY SPECIAL BULLETIN OR RECALL. THERE THEY WILL NOT MAKE THE REPAIR AT CHEVY'S COST. *TR
THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT, ONCE AN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND TWICE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I HAD TO WAIT 5-10 MINUTES EACH TIME BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART.
INCREASING TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE. STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOISE GETTING LOUDER. PER BALE CHEVROLET, IT IS COMING FROM PURGE VALVE AND VALVE IS OPERATING AS NORMAL. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS NORMAL, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WASN'T DOING IT WHEN WE PURCHASED IT.
I PURCHASED A 2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2019 AND A FEW MONTH'S AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I IMMEDIATELY STARTED NOTICING THAT THE VEHICLE WOLD STALL AND OR HESITATE TO START EVERY TIME I WOULD PUT GAS IN IT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON UNTIL THIS DAY. I CURRENTLY WORK AT CARMAX AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH SOME MECHANIC'S, AS WELL AS AS READING SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINT'S I BELIEVE I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS 2 OTHER BUYER'S THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS VEHICLE.THE SPARK PLUG TUBES ARE LEAKING AND THE LEAKS ARE CAUSED BY POROUS SPOTS IN THE HEAD CREATED DURING MANUFACTURING. THE SPARK PLUG TUBES ARE PERMANENTLY SEALED INTO THE HEAD AND ARE NOT REPLACEABLE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. WE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST $3,000-$4,000 TO FIX, WHICH I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER, I SHOULD'NT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR CONSIDERING THE VEHICLE WAS LITERALLY PURCHASED A YEAR AGO AS OF 3 WEEKS AGO. AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED 3 MONTHS INTO ME HAVING THE VEHICLE
HIT THE BRAKES TO STOP AND THE THE CAR REVED AND HAD TO PUSH AS HARD AS I COULD TO TRY AND GET THE CAR TO STOP. 3RD TIME THIS HAPPENED. ALMOST GOT INTO A BAD ACCIDENT
WHENEVER YOU MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT A LOW SPEED OR MOVING THE JUST BACK AND FORTH A RUBBING/WEIRD SOUND IS MADE! WONDERING IF THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN OR JUST AN INCONVENIENCE
THE HMI MODULE HAS GONE OUT.THIS AFFECTS THE REAR VIEW CAMERA AND THE ENTIRE DISPLAY. SECONDLY, SINCE THEN THE POWER STEERING HAS ALSO GONE OUT ON THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION!! IT WENT OUT SUDDENLY. BRAND NEW BATTERY STILL NOT RESOLVED. THESE PROBLEMS ARE BOTH ELECTRICAL AND SEEM TO BE NOW COMMON PROBLEMS. GM SHOULD ISSUE RECALL AS THIS CAN CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. THE ABSENCE OF REAR CAMERA MAKES VEHICLE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS STATING THAT ALL LATER MODELS SHOULD HAVE CAMERA. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN CAUSE THESE PROBLEMS. IT IS SIMPLY A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DESIGN. THESE PROBLEMS COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND USUALLY DON'T MALFUNCTION TILL AFTER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.
FRONT END SUSPENSION IS MAKING NOISES, BALL JOINTS AND DRIVER SIDE AXLE LOOSE. WAS TOLD ALL THIS HAS TO BE REPLACED.
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND AT TIMES REMAINS ILLUMINATED WHILE OTHER TIMES IT IS OFF. THE LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY AND DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY ON.
FRONT END CRASH & AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY
AS I WAS DRIVING IN A CURVED LANE ALL OF A SUDDEN A WARNING LIGHT AND POPPED ON THE DASH ABOUT A POWER STEERING ISSUE AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND WAS HEADING OUT OF CONTROL. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR AT ALL IN THE CURVE. THEN I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. WHO SHOULD I TALK TO ABOUT THIS MAJOR ISSUE?
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE LIGHT COMES ON FOR SERVICE. THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE OR ONCE I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF BUT THE SECOND TIME THE LIGHT STAYED ON.I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE AND IT WAS A BAD SENSOR IN THE SEAT. IT TOOK A WEEK TO GET THE PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ... IF I HAVE A PASSENGER ON FRONT SEAT THE AIRBAGS GOES OFF AND LIGHT COMES O THE DASH SAYING SERVICE AIRBAG... NOW I HAVE NO ONE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON
AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR CORE LEAKED ALL FREON GAS.
MY 2017 CHEVY IMPALA'S, EQUIPPED WITH A 3.6L V-6 ENGINE, AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR IS DAMAGED AND IS LEAKING REFRIGERANT AND RESULTING IN LOSS OF AIR CONDITIONING. THIS LOSS OF AIR CONDITIONING OCCURS ALL THE TIME-STATIONARY, IN MOTION--THE AIR CONDITIONING NO LONGER WORKS AT ALL.
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN APPLAYING BRAKES THEIR IS A FIBREATIING FEEL ON BRAKE PETAL
THE WARNING SYSTEM ON THE DRIVER CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS WOR. WILL NOT TELL ME IF BACKING UP IF SOMETHING IS COMING TOWARDS ME FROM THE LEFT SIDE AND THE INDICATOR ON THE DRIVER MIRROE DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK IF A CAR IS APPROACHING ME. I HAVE 63000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I THINK ITS A SAFTY ISSUE AND A FACTORY DEFECT.
RE: CAR RANDOMLY LUNGES FORWARD WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP. IT IS AN UNEXPECTED EVENT THAT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT OR JUST TO STOP PERIOD THAT THIS CAR SEEMS TO LUNGE FORWARD LIKE I'M ACCELERATING WHICH I DO THEN THE GEARS ADJUST DOWN BUT ONLY WHEN APPLYING MORE PRESSURE ON BREAKING. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR WHERE I ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THIS.
MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN DURING A INVESTIGATION AND THE PERSON THAT TOOK IT DIED , AND TRYING TO LOCATE IT BUT FOR SOME REASON IT HAS 2 LOCATIONS 1 IN CHANDLER AND THE OTHER IN KANSAS . IS THERE ANYWAY YOU COULD HELP ME LOCATE IT?
MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A HOME DRIVEWAY, SOME HOW JUMPED OUT OF PARK AND STARTED TO ROLL INTO THE STREET. NO ONE WAS IN THE DRIVER SEAT TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.
THE LEFT SIDE WARNING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK OR WORKS LESS THE 10% OF THE TIME. WILL NOT TELL ME IF I AM IN REVERSE IF AN OBJECT IS COMING FROM LEFT SIDE AND WILL NOT TELL ME IF A CAR IS APPROACHING ME ON LEFT SIDE EITHER,
AIR CONDITIONING STOP WORKING I HAVE 44000 MILES ON THE CAR
AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND GOING OFF RANDOMLY. IT BEGAN BECOMING MORE FREQUENT SO I TOOK IT TO OURISMAN CHEVROLET TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR AND AIRBAG MODULE WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND FOR $1979 THEY COULD REPAIR IT, IMAGINE THAT. I LET THEM KNOW THAT IF I HAD TO PUT THAT KIND OF MONEY IN AN AIRBAG EVERY 55,000 MILES I WOULD BE LOOKING AT AN AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 3 MONTHS AGO TOOK IT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AFTER DRIVING IT FOR SEVERAL MILES AND FILLING THE GAS TANK LOUD EXHAUST SOUND WITH AN ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC P0151 CODE APPEARED. THINKING THERE WAS WATER IN THE LINE I PURCHASED HEAT TO REMOVE THE MOISTURE WITH NO RESULTS. I PROCEEDED TO OPEN THE HOOD OF THE CAR FOR INSPECTION AND FOUND THE OXYGEN SENSORS LYING IN THE COOLING FANS AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DISCONNECTED FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE PLATE WAS STILL CONNECTED WITH NEW NUTS AND BOLTS BUT THE PART LOOKED RUSTED WHICH SEEM ODD FOR A CAR THIS NEW AS A RESULT OF THE HEAT ESCAPING THE ENGINE BLOCK VIA THE OPENING THE COOLING FANS MELTED. I CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THIS MODEL AND THERE WERE NONE SHOWING VIA SEVERAL SOURCES INCLUDING THE MANUFACTURER'S WEB SITE. THE ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WELL DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL OPERATE AND DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION SHOWING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHAT SEEMED ODD WAS THE BOLTS WERE SHINY AND THE PLATE WAS DISCOLORED AS SEEN IN ATTACHED PHOTOS. THE WELDS WERE ALSO A CONCERN AS WELL.
WE PURCHASED OUR CAR IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WE STARTED NOTICING THE CAR WOULD HESITATE TO START EVERY TIME AFTER WE WOULD PUT GAS, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY TURNED ON.. SO THEN IN DECEMBER WE TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED THE PURGE VALVE, AND ALSO CHECKED WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEY RAN SOME TESTS AND SAID THAT CYLINDER 3 WAS MISFIRING, SO THEY RAN MORE TESTS TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY THE PROBLEM WAS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SPARK PLUG TUBES ARE LEAKING AND THE LEAKS ARE CAUSED BY POROUS SPOTS IN THE HEAD CREATED DURING MANUFACTURING. THE SPARK PLUG TUBES ARE PERMANENTLY SEALED INTO THE HEAD AND ARE NOT REPLACABLE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY, WE JUST PURCHASED OUR CAR AND THEIR TELLING US THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO COST $3,000 TO 4,000 TO FIX WHICH WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR. PLEASE IF SOMEONE COULD GET BACK WITH ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GET A DIFFERENT CAR SINCE OURS HAD A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WHICH WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR. THANK YOU .
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS FRACTURED WHERE THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS LOCATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.
NOV 2018: CENTER CONSOLE / TV FAILURE INCLUDING BACK-UP CAMERA ALONG WITH INFOTAINMENT. OCCURRED JUST AFTER 36,000 MILES, THUS GM WARRANTY DID NOT COVER AND REPAIR COST FOR HMI MODULE = $732 THOUGH WE DO HAVE A 3RD PARTY EXT. WARRANTY, WE STILL PAID $200+ OUT OF POCKET AND FEEL IT IRRESPONSIBLE FOR GM ELECTRONICS TO FAIL JUST 1 YEAR AFTER MODEL YEAR (AS ELECTRONICS NORMALLY SHOULD NOT RELATE TO # MILES) - SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT CHEVROLET SENIOR SUPPORT BY PHONE TO DISCUSS SITUATION WENT UNANSWERED. DURING THE TIME THE CONSOLE WAS OUT (BUT CAR STILL DRIVE-ABLE), WE HAD REDUCED REAR VISIBILITY AND WERE MORE FEARFUL ABOUT BACKING UP, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITH MANY CHILDREN PRESENT.
ON NOVEMBER 17TH AND 20TH OF 2018 WHILE AT MALL PARKING LOT AND AT DRUG STORE AS I PROCEED TO LEAVE MY CAR'S BATTERY HAD COMPLETELY DRAINED IT'S POWER. NO LIGHTS OR DOORS WERE LEFT ON AND I HAD TO GET AAA TO BOOST ME ON THOSE TWO OCCASIONS. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THEY SIMPLY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR LOCATE THE PROBLEM AFTER KEEPING THE CAR FOR A DAY. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW SEPTEMBER 2017 AND HAS LESS THAN 12,000 MILES AS OF TODAY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DOJUST KEEP GOING AS IF NO PROBLEM EXIST? IT IS A GOOD CAR AND THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM I'VE EXPERIENCED BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, NO FUN BEING STRANDED AND TECHNICIANS AT DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEMS.
THE FONTS ARE TOO SMALL ON ALL OF THE CONTROL SCREENS, THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN AND ON THE VARIOUS BUTTONS ON THE DASHBOARD. MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR TOO LONG TO READ THE WRITING AND SYMBOLS. THERE IS PLENTY OF UNUSED BACKGROUND ON THE SCREENS AND BUTTONS WHERE THE FONTS COULD BE ENLARGED. OR, PERHAPS A FEATURE COULD BE DESIGNED WHERE THE DRIVER COULD INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE FONTS AS NEEDED.
I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE "AIRBAG SERVICE" AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ILLUMINATED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MALCOLM CUNNINGHAM CHEVROLET ON 15 OCT 2018. I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE AND THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE. I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AND WHILE I AM DRIVING I WILL GET THE MESSAGE.

GOOD MORNING, I'M UNSURE OF HOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT I BELIEVE IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE RECENT TAKATA AIR BAG ISSUES. I HAD (BUT HAVE SINCE SOLD) A 2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA THAT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON JULY 4, 2018 WHEN A WARNING LIGHT AND SOUND ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. WE ALSO RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM ONSTAR THAT DAY INDICATING WE SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER BY THE NEXT DAY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WATSON CHEVROLET IN TUCSON THAT AFTERNOON. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1100.00 WHICH WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY SINCE OUR VEHICLE HAD OVER 36,000 MILES ON IT. I WORK AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BY OUR SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS SORT OF ISSUE IS COVERED BY FORD MOTOR CORP. UNDER THEIR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I DON'T KNOW THE REASON FOR THIS, BUT I WOULD GUESS IT'S BECAUSE FORD FEELS IT WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF REPAIRS WEREN'T MADE BY A CUSTOMER DUE TO COST. WE ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, BUT I WONDER HOW MANY VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE BUT HAVE GONE UNREPAIRED DUE TO COST. I ALSO WONDER IF THERE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH ISSUES WITH THE SENSORS TO WARRANT A RECALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
AIRBAG WILL NOT STAY ON IF SOMEONE IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. ALARM ON DASH GOES OFF AND ON
THE BOTH REAR SEAT CROSSBODY SEATBELTS CLINK THE WAY ROLLER COASTERS DO WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE AND JUST GET STUCK AND BEGING TO TIGHTEN. THE ONLY WAY TO LOOSEN THE BELT IS TO TAKE IT COMPLETELY OFF AND LET IT WIND UP ALL THE WAY BEFORE FASTENING IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS THE CAR IS ON OR OFF, MOVING OR STOPPED, HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS.
VEHICLE WAS CONDO PARKING AREA IN SPI TEXAS AND LOWELL,IN. MICE CHEWED FUEL IJECTION HARNESS (DISABLING(3 CYL) ON FEB.10,2018 AND AGAIN 10 DAYS LATER HARNESS ( 4CYL) AND FOAM INTAKE MANIFOLD.

THE FUEL PUMP SHUTOFF FOR RUN AWAY FUEL PUMP NEVER DEPLOYED THUS CREATING EXTREME HAZARD THAT WAS UNDECTABLE INSIDE VEHICLE.THE FUEL LINE WAS REPAIRED BY SMITH CHEVY IN LOWELL, IN ON 6/21/2018. THE REPAIR BILLS WERE $731.50, $592.10 AND $507.17 RESPECTIVELY FOR A TOTAL OF $1830.72. CHEVY CLAIMS SOY BASED PARTS NOT DESIGN FLAW AND REFUSES WARRANTY CLAIMS AND SAFETY LIABILITY.. ALL MANUFACTURES HAVE SIMILAR SOY BASED DESIGN FLAWS AND REFUSE CLAIMS. PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SOLVED.
STEERING WHEEL COLUMN RUBBING WHEN TURNING. WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT SOMETHING BROKE HEARD LOUD NOISE NOW WHEN YOU TURN WHEEL BACK AND FOURTH HEAR A LOAD NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A ROD HITTING SOMETHING HAD TO BE TOWED TO CHEVY DEALER IN MURFREESBORO TN.
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON
HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD ON RIGHT SIDE, CANNOT SEE ROAD, CURBS OR PEDESTRIANS WHEN TURNING. PROJECTION SYSTEM, DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG, VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN. THEY NEED TO FIX PROJECTION SYSTEM TO COVER RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE. MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
RENTED A 2017 CHEVY IMPALA FOR A 10 DAY 3000 MILE ROAD TRIP.I DID THE DRIVING AND MY WIFE, 5' 1", SPENT THE TRIP IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.
