2014 Chevrolet Impala Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY ABOUT 70 MPH TODAY ON WAY HOME I OPENED SUNROOF. AS NORMAL THE CLOTH SUNROOF RETRACTED AND SECONDS LATER THE ACTUAL GLASS ROOF OPENED. HALF WAY THOUGHT OPENING. THE CLOTH CAUGHT OR GOT STUCK AND I HEAR TEARING SOUNDS ALL AROUND MY HEAD. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HAS THE CLOTH COVER ATTACHED LOOKS LIKE THE ADHESIVE JUST GAVE OUT AND NOW THE CLOTH IS FLAPPING DOWN BLOCKING VIEW OF REAR OF CAR.

I HAVE A MESSAGE SAYING SERVICE SIDE DETECTION. IT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS AND DIDN'T SEEM TO BE A BIG DEAL. IT NOW HAS CAUSED A BUNCH OF OTHER MESSAGES TO COME UP TO SERVICE. EVERYTHING ON MY DASHBOARD STOP WORKING (SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, ETC.) MY HEAT IS EFFECTED AND AT ONE POINT, MY CAR WOULDN'T START FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL DINGING NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND SERVICE POWER STEERING INDICATORS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE HUB BEARING SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT SHOOK AND SHUT OFF. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED, SHUT OFF, AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V614000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO ROBERT WOODALL CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC, CADILLAC (1063 RIVERSIDE DR, DANVILLE, VA 24540, 434-797-1411) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

STARTED MY VEHICLE AND POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON, DISMISSED IT, STABILITY CONTROL WARNING APPEARED, DISMISSED IT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT REMAINED ON. THIS OCCURRED WHEN LEAVING A FRIEND'S DRIVEWAY AND DRIVING ONTO A COUNTY ROAD. THE POWER STEERING WAS INOPERATIVE! TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP. MECHANIC FOUND LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR RING BROKEN. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! THERE ARE 50215 MILES ON THIS CAR AND IT IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED.

I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE LANE DEPARTURE MODULES THAT EXPLODE AND AND CAUSED MY SYSTEM TO FAIL. SAYING THAT MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED, MY GAS WAS EMPTY, THEY THEFT IS DETECTED, THE A/C BLOWER MOTOR TURNED ON AND OFF, FINALLY I GOT THE MODULES REPLACED, BUT NOW THERE ARE NEW SAFETY ISSUES HAPPENING. THE LIGHT ON THE MIRROR TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS NEXT TO ME TURNS ON ALL THE TIME. I ALMOST RAN OFF THE RAID BECAUSE I WAS CHANGING LANES AND IT WENT OFF AND NOW ONE WAS THERE. THE BACKUP SENSORS ARE DELAYED IN TELLING ME IF SOMETHING IS BEHIND ME OR COMING BEHIND ME. THE FRONT SYSTEM DOES NOT MAKE THE CAR SLOW DOWN WHEN I AM IN CRUSE CONTROL AND A CAR GOES SLO INFORNT OF ME. I DON'T TRUST THAT THE AIRBAG WILL GO OFF IF IT NEEDS TO IN A COLLISION.. I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE APPLYING THE BREAKS THE BREAKS LOCK UP AND BECOME HARD THERE IS ALSO A AIR NOISE COMING FROM BREAKS ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN TAKING TO THE MECHANIC SHOP HE STATED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAVE HAS TO WORK ON THE CHEVY MALIBU I FEEL THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE CHEVY BREAKING SYSTEM. ALSO THE BLINKER AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR.

CAR STALLS WHEN I TURN OFF THE A/C IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SOMETIMES THIS STARTED A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO GET IT FIXED BY THE DEALER BUT IT STILL SHUTS DOWN

STABILITRACK HAS BEEN MESSING UP SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018. MY CAR IS SCARY TO DRIVE. SOMETIMES ITS NOT CLEAR WHAT GEAR I'M IN. THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 5 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE STABILITRACK IS MESSING UP. THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE STABILITRACK LIGHT IS ON AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE. I HAVE TO WAIT AND KEEP TURNING THE CAR OFF THEN WAIT THEN TRY TO START IT. STABILITRACK NEEDS A RECALL. I COULD NOT BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT THIS MORNING BECAUSE OF THE STABILITRACK. IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE MOTOR MOVED WHEN I TRIED TO REVERSE. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE PANEL TO KNOW WHAT GEAR I WAS IN BUT IT WAD CLEAR IT SKIPPED THE REVERSE. WHEN IT FINALY LET ME BACK UP AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES I COULD ONLY ECCELERATE 3 MILES PER HOUR.

DRIVING ALONG ON FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH LIT UP WITH VARIOUS FLASHING LIGHTS AND WARNINGS, THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND MY HVAC STOPPED FUNCTIONING. HAD TO PULL OVER ON BUSY HIGHWAY AND RESTART TO NO AVAIL. PULLED OVER AGAIN ONCE I GOT TO REST STOP. LET IT SIT. RESTARTED AND WORKED OKAY. INTERNET SAYS PROBLEM IS WITH SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM (WHICH DEALER CONFIRMED BUT SAID MY CAR MISSED CUT-OFF DATE BY 5 DAYS ON A $700 REPAIR BILL. CAR HAS BUT 12,300 MILES ON IT (I AM 92 YEARS OLD). INTERNET ALSO STATES THAT IF ISSUE IS NOT FIXED IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH DASHBOARD ELECTRONICS, INCLUDING FIRE. GM ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #N172097060 (NO OWNER NOTIFICATION), WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD I MISSED OUT ON BY 5 DAYS.

IN MY 2014 CHEVY IMPALA LT I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN WASHING THE CAR WATER SEEMS TO LEAK INTO THE CAR IN THE TRUNK AND INTO THE AREA WHERE THE SPARE TIRE SITS. HOWEVER IT'S NOT NOTICEABLE AS THE CARPET IN THE TRUNK DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE BET UNTILL YOU LIFT IT UP. ANOTHER THING I NOTICED WITH THIS WAS THAT MY LOCKS ON THE DOORS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES AND AT ONE POINT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE UNLOCK REQUEST FROM THE TRANSPONDER. I THEN USED ONSTARS REMOTE UNLOCK AFTER TRYING EVERY BUTTON ON THE TRANSPONDER TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE. SHORT TIME AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE I HAVE NOTICED MY PARKING BREAK TO ACTIVATE IT'S SELF AFTER BEING PARKED AND THE CAR BEING SHUT OFF I WOULD COME BACK AND SEE THAT THE PARKING LIGHT WOULD BE ON AND I'D HAVE TO PRESS THE BREAK TO UNLOCK THE PARKING BREAK. WHEN THE CARS PARKING BREAK GOES ON THE CAR IS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE. I WANT THE CAR TO REPEAT THE ISSUES SO THEY MAY BE RECORDED ON VIDEO HOWEVER I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE MY VEHICLE AS I TAKE PRIDE IN THE PRODUCT THAT I HAVE PURCHASED.

WHEEL BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED HOUSING ALSO ON 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. STABILTRAK ISSUES ON 4 OCCASSIONS SWAY BAR LINKS TIE ROD. SHOCKS STRUTS... BIGGEST ISSUE IS WHEEL BEARINGS MOST RECENTLY LASTED 2 WEEKS BEFORE NEEDED WARRANTY WORK AGAIN FOR THE 6TH TIME. CRUISE CONTROL STICKS SEAT BELT RECIPTICAL STICKS WONT STAY LOCKED IN SOMETIMES HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING OR GETTING GETTING UP TO SPEED THIS WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. LOCKING MECHANISM TO LOCK VEHICLE DOESNT WORK ONLY UNLOCK FUNCTION MOST WORK PREFORMED OVER PAST 2 -3 YEARS AT PEPBOYS. SOME OTHER REPAIR SHOP. BEEN ISSUE ONGOING LAST 2-3 YEARS... UNRESOLVED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

SERVICE BLIND DETECTION SYSTEM. THIS WARNING CAME ON AFTER 1 DAY OF PURCHASING MY 2014 IMPALA SO I TOOK CAR BACK AND THE DEALER TOOK IT TO CHEVY TO FIX THE RECALL BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY'RE TO MANY MILES ON MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE I'M WITHIN MY 15DAYS IF USED VEHICLE WARRANTY AND IF THIS ISSUE CONTINUES THIS COULD CAUSE OTHER ISSUES AS I HAVE READ DUE TO REVIEWS ON THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE NOW IT BECOMES A BIGGER ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE LAWSUITS DUE TO BEING NOT COVERED AND WITH BEING OUT OF THE MILEAGE COVERAGE PERIOD COULD REALLY DESTROY A COMPANY BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT SAFE. I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION AND HOW THIS COULD BE FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW PURCHASE AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE VEHICLE 5 DAYS AND IF THIS VEHICLE STARTS A ELECTRICAL FIRE/ PROBLEM IT BECOMES A BIGGER ISSUE CAN YOU PLEASE FIX MY ISSUE AND MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RECALL MESS.

SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE IN MESSAGE CENTER. VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY. POWER STEERING IS GONE.

DRIVING ON CITY STREET AT OR ABOUT 35 MPH, SERVICE STABILITRAK INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. THE VEHICLE THEREAFTER BEGINS TO SHUTTER AND SPUTTERS INTERMITTENTLY. PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE HAS SIGNIFICANT POWER LOSS.

TAKATA RECALL. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT SIGNAL CAME ON WHILE STARTING THE CAR. THE STERRING WHEEL WAA STIFF. THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT DIDNT WANT TO START WHEN IT ON MY RADIO STATION WAS ON SOME RANDOM STATION AS IF THE BATTERY WAS MESSED WITH. WHILE DRIVING AND IN PARK THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF AS IF NOONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN CLEARLY SOMEONE IS SITTING BUCKELED IN. THE POWER STEERING HAPPEND TODAY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY IN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS.

PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. STATIONARY. GM RECALL #15259. ROOT ISSUE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE DRAG.

THE TRUCK IS FILLING UP WITH WATER AND CAUSING A MILDEW SMELL IN THE CAR FROM THE WATER GETTINGNSTALE.

I AM GETTING THE MESSAGE "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" AND NO LONGER HAVE INDICATOR FLASHES IN SIDE MIRRORS WHEN BEING OVERTAKEN BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE MESSAGE COMES ON WHEN I START THE CAR.

THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON STICKS, WHEN BEING PUSHED IT CLICKS HARD TO GET TO WORK. THE MOST IMPORTANT STARTED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ON MOVING AND PUSHING THE GAS MAKES A CLUNKY AND GRINDING SOUND AND FEEL, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GO ANYWHERE THEN, THE STABILITY LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR STARTS MOVING, AND THE WHEEL FREES UP AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT. THIS IS EVERY TIME I'M TURNING LEFT AFTER FROM A STOPPED POSITION.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM FAILURE. MODULE ABSORBING MOISTURE. DETECTION LIGHT ON SIDE MIRROR STAYS ON, EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLASHES VARIOUS WARNINGS. GM IS AWARE THAT IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART BUT LIMITS COVERAGE TO CERTAIN MILEAGE. SEEMS LIKE A PART THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE NEAR THE GAS TANK WOULD BE A BIG ENOUGH SAFETY HAZARD TO WARRANT A FULL RECALL. ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN. GAVE WARNINGS ON THE SIDE DETECTION, THEN LIGHT STAYED ON IN THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT HEARD CLICKING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE NOISE GREW LOUDER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP AND WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ORIGINALLY MY BLIND ZONE DETECTION WAS THE ONLY THING POPPING UP ON MY DASHBOARD BUT MY CAR AND FUNCTIONS RAN FIND EXCEPT THE DETECTION FEATURE..BUT THEN CODES LIKE AIRBAG, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, FRONT CAMERA, PARKING ASSSISTANT APPEARED ALL OVER MY DASH BOARD AND THEN THE RADIO, HEATING SYSTEM, SPEEDOMETER, RPM, GAS AND HEATING GAGE ALL STOPPED WORKING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THESE SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR!! THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTS ME TO PAY 1300 THIS IS NOT FAR ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR AND HALF SMH PLEASE PUSH FOR A RECALL IT'S NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING WITH AIR BAGS NOT WORKING OR TURNING SIGNALS NOT WORK...

I HAVE A LEAK IN THE TRUNK THAT CHEVY SENT OUT CUSTOMER ACTION ON BUT THEY LEFT MY CAR OUT OF THIS RECALL. THE TAIL LAMP GASKET WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY AND THE DEALER ARE TO FIX THIS PER LETTER. THE LETTER EXPIRED IN 2016 BUT I WAS NEVER INFORMED. I STARTED GETTING WATER IN THE TRUNK TOOK IT IN AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TELLING ME ITS A VERY COMMON OCCURENCE ON THIS VEHICLE.

A FEW PROBLEMS. WHEEL BEARING SENORS GO BAD EFFECTING POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL. REPLACED 3 WHEEL BEARING ON DIFFERENT WHEELS IN PAST 12 MONTHS. ALSO 20" RIMS WITH LOW PRO TIRES ARE A PROBLEM. HAD 2 PLOW OUTS IN PAST 6 MONTHS WHEN HITTING POT HOLES AND DAMAGED 3 RIMS. VERY COSTLY TO BUY RIMS AT $650 A PIECE AND TIRES AT $230 EACH. A SAFETY PROBLEM NOT KNOWING IF YOU WILL HAVE A TIRE PLOW OUT BECAUSE OF A ROUGH ROAD OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 54 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. CAR WAS IN MOTION WITH WHEEL BEARING PROBLEM AND TIRE AND RIM PROBLEM. AT DIFFERENT TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT MOST RECENT 5/5/19

WE WERE DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS ALL DASH LIGHTS HEADLIGHTS AND MOTOR JUST CUT OUT WE WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED.WE FOUND OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DETECTION IN THE REAR BUMPER WAS CORRODED AND SHORTING OUT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM SENSORS ARE LOCATED ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR BUMPER PANEL ON EITHER SIDE, THEY DETECT CARS IN THE BLIND SPOT. THE SENSORS ARE LOCATED IN A POOR LOCATION TO BEGIN WITH, THEY ARE IN DIRECT LINE OF FIRE WITH ROAD AND TIRE DEBRIS, SALT WATER, GRAVEL, SAND, SNOW, MUD, ETC. OVER TIME, THE NATURAL ELEMENTS SEEP INTO THE CRACKS OF THESE SENSORS AND/OR THEIR WIRING HARNESSES AT THE CONNECTIONS, AND CAUSE MALFUNCTIONING OF THIS SYSTEM. MINIMALLY, THE PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE SENSORS AND/OR HARNESSES FOR BRAND NEW ONES. AT THE WORST, THESE MALFUNCTIONED SENSORS CAUSE OTHER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS AND SUBSEQUENTLY INCREASED ROAD HAZARDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS BY THE WAY THAT IT CAN LEAD TO THE DRIVER INFO CENTER GOING BLACK, THE RADIO CUTTING OUT, ALL THE INTERIOR AND GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE ON THE ROAD. IF LEFT UNRESOLVED BECAUSE MANY CUSTOMERS AND DRIVERS WOULD MUCH RATHER WAIT FOR AN OFFICIAL RECALL AND CONTINUE DRIVING, MANY WILL BE AT RISK.

MILEAGE: 89000 CUSTOMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IS NOW AVAILABLE REGARDING THE SIDE BLIND ZONE DETECTION SYSTEM ERROR THAT DISPLAYS OVER THE ENTIRE DASH DISPLAY PANEL. THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 6 YEARS FROM THE DATE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN SERVICE AND 80,000 MILES. MANY OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AT JUST OVER 80,000 MILES OR HAVE GONE PAST 80,000 MILES DUE TO GM'S LACK OF A TIMELY RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED SEVERAL PEOPLE. THE SERVICE SIDE DETECTION MESSAGE APPEARS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND REMAINS TO BLOCK THE DIGITAL INFO CENTER UNTIL IT IS DISMISSED BY THE DRIVER WHO HAS TO MOVE THE THUMB TO PRESS THE BUTTON. THIS MESSAGE ALSO RE-APPEARS AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MILES CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE ROAD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ALERT. THE REAR SIDE DETECTION MODULES WERE PLACED BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS AND COLLECT WATER, DUST, DIRT, AND DEBRIS CAUSING FAILURE. GM SHOULD REDESIGN THIS HOUSING TO BETTER PROTECT THE MODULES IN THE FUTURE

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE .. THE VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING RPMS STOPPED WORKING.. CAR AIR CONDITIONING TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN, VARIOUS LIGHTS ON THE FRONT ' TURN ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN

WHEN DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, ABS, STABILITRACK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT MATTER ON ROAD CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS WHENEVER. THE RING ON THE BACK OF THE WHEEL BEARING GETS WEATHER ELEMENTS BEHIND IT (MOSTLY TALKING ABOUT WATER IN THE WINTER THEN FREEZES). THIS CAUSE THE RING TO BREAK. ONCE THIS RING IS BROKE. I AM ASSUMING THE ABS CANT KEEP TRACK OF THE VEHICLE'S MOTION. IT THEN THROWS THE CODES. TO TELL DO A VISIBLE INSPECTION LOOKING FOR THE RING TO BE COMPROMISED. DON'T WORRY YOUR WHEEL BEARING MIGHT NOT BE BAD. YOU JUST HAVE TO GO TO CHEVY AND SPEND 190$ ON A NEW WHEEL BEARING.

BLIND SPOT WARNING NOT WORKING, GM NOT WILLING TO REPLACE MODULES ON CAR WITH ONES THAT HAVE SINCE BEEN UPDATED. NEW MODULES ARE SEALED AND RESIST WATER INTRUSION, OLD MODULES DO NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION MODULE FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT DROVE TO JOE HOLLAND CHEVROLET & IMPORTS (210 MACCORKLE AVE SW, SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV 25303, 304-744-1561) TO HAVE THE FAILURE REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND WERE ON BACKORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

BLIND SPOT SAFETY LIGHT MODULE WENT BAD DUE TO POOR DESIGN, GENERAL MOTORS HAS A WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 MILES, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE'S NO CODE READING, BUT FAILED TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE MODULE ITSELF, AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO STARTING FIRES, A GM ENGINEER MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE POOR WORDING IN THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY SERVICE, I'M AFRAID THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE BECAUSE OF THEIR FAILURE TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE MODULE ITSELF, I BELIEVE BOTH BLIND SPOT LIGHT MODULES SHOULD BE REPLACED AS GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

STABILITYTRAK MESSAGE CAME ON. LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING.

SIDE DETENTION SENSOR ALERT CAME ON A DAY OR TWO AGO. TODAY WHILE DRIVING NUMEROUS DASH LIGHTS AND ALARMS CAME ON. I HAD NO GAUGES AND COULD NOT SIGNAL WHILE DRIVING. HAD MY DAUGHTER IN CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD THE SENSORS REPLACED A YEAR AGO WHICH COST ME OVER $1,000.

I NOTICED WATER/DAMPNESS ON TWO LOCATIONS OF MY 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA (WHILE IT IS STATIONARY) 1. FLOOR CARPET ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT IS THOROUGHLY WET (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS), WITH THE DAMPNESS EXTENDING TO THE REAR SEATS. 2.INSIDE THE TRUNK IN AREA BEHIND THE REAR WHEEL. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AS WELL AS REPAIR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR CARPET, STRUCTURAL PANELS - FLOOR (POSSIBLE RUST). GM CUSTOMER SERVICE NOR THE DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO ABSORB THE COST AND EXPECTS MY (CONSUMER TO PAY)

WE I PURCHASED THE CAR THEY HAD CHANGED THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK AND HAVE IT SERVICED FOR THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES. I CHANGED OUT THE HUB ASSEMBLY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOW JUST LIKE BEFORE THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND THE ABS LIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I TURNED INTO OUR LOCAL WALMART AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND WOULD NOT GO.

SIDE DETECTION NOT WORKING, GETTING ERRORS

SIDE MIRROR BLIND SPOT ALERT SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME. I HAD REPLACED IT TWICE SO FAR COSTING $400 EACH TIME. IT SAYS THE SYSTEM NEEDS " MAINTANENCE"

ACCORDING TO AN APRIL 2019 LETTER FROM CHEVROLET/GM, SIDE BLIND-ZONE ALERT SENSOR IS KNOWN TO NEED REPLACEMENT. THEIR LETTER SAYS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT ANY GM DEALER, BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO ETA FOR THE BACK-ORDERED PARTS. TODAY I CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE AN ETA FOR WHEN THESE PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE. THE REP I SPOKE TO TODAY REALIZED THIS WAS PRETTY ABSURD, BUT OBVIOUSLY PROVIDING THE PARTS GOES ABOVE HIS PAY GRADE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

THE BLINDSPOT DETECTION SYSTEM MODULE FAILED AND IT MESSED UP ALL MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR THW SPEEDOMETER RPM AND FUEL AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES BOTTOMED OUT TO 0. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON . THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DOING 79 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. ON STAR THOUGHT I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT.
