2004 Chevrolet Impala

WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND GO TO ACCELERATE THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES AND CAUSES THE CAR TO STOP. IT ALSO HAPPENS ON THE ROAD ONCE U COME TO A STOP AND OR STOP AND TURN ONTO A STREET OR HIGHWAY. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED A FEW TIMES. I READ ONLINE AT ITS HAPPENING ALOT TO PEOPLE ALL OVER. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSTANT EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. PREVIOUS OWER ADVISED ME OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL.

UNSURE IF MY 04 IMPALA IS AFFECTED IN THE TAKATA RECALL BECAUSE I HAVEN'T RECEIVED NOTICE.HAVE RECENTLY HAD EXTENSIVE REPAIRS COMPLETED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. AND THE ABS, TRAC, CHECK AND BRAKE LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF. THE SECURITY LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND DISABLES THE CAR NOT ALLOWING IT TO START. CAUSING ME THE BE STRANDED UNANNOUNCED AND AT ANY RANDOM TIME. STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENS AND LOOSENS AT RANDOM TIMES. AFTER RESEARCHING PAST RECALLS BEFORE MY OWNERSHIP I AM UNSURE IF MY CAR HAS HAD THE RECALL ISSUES ADDRESSED. MY CAR HAS SOME TYPE OF MANUFACTURER COMPUTER GLITCH BUT GMC DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO IT. AND I'VE KEPT ALL RECEIPTS ON REPAIRS I'VE COVERED. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN ON GOING SINCE THE ESTIMATED DATE ENTERED BELOW.

ON 01/03/2017, ON A BUSY SNOW PACKED INTERSECTION, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WAS PUSHED OFF THE ROAD BY A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK, INTO A CURB, WHICH CURB IS TALLER THAN MY IMPALA'S FRAME TO GROUND CLEARANCE. MY LEFT FRONT TIRE AND RIM WERE RUINED. THE DRIVER OF THE PICKUP CONTINUED NORTH LEAVING THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. PRIOR TO GM'S BANKRUPTCY, MY IMPALA SS, WHICH WAS MADE IN CANADA, IS A RUSTY, POORLY PAINTED, HASTILY THROWN TOGETHER PIECE OF JUNK. IT NEEDS MANY USED PARTS WITH WHICH TO MAKE NEEDED REPAIRS. REASONABLY PRICED, QUALITY USED PARTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE. *TR

FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS THE SECURITY LIGHT IN MY CAR HAS COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES. IT WONT ALLOW ME TO START MY CAR FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND ALSO WILL RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TALKED THE MY CHEVY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE COULD REPLACE THE BCM BUT NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE FOR THE IMPALA AND IT COULD BE MULTIPLE THINGS WITH THE TDM(THEFT DETERRENT MODULE) SYSTEM. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH CHEVY AS WELL AND WAS TOLD THEIR WAS NO PLAN FOR A RECALL ON THIS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS A NEW BCM PLUS INSTALL AND PROGRAMING WILL BE $750 BUT THEY WONT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THE WHOLE TDM SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
