2009 Chevrolet Impala

"TAKATA RECALL " EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE 5 SECONDS THE CAR JERKS MAKES LOUD SOUND, STARTS BEEPING, MESSAGES APPEAR FLASHING BACK AND FORTH ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, CAR SLOWS DOWN, CAR JERKS AND CHUGS, MAKES LOUD SOUND, BEEPING NOISE FROM MESSAGE BOARD, THROTTLE SOMETHING APPEARS, STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, CAR STOPS, CAN'T STEER CAR OUT OF ROAD, WON'T CRANK, MY CAR SITS IN THE ROAD.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON PAID TO GET IT FIXED AND IT'S STILL ON AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT DEPLOY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK MY BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK TO FIX THEM AND GET NEW BALLS IT'S ALL ELECTRICAL I SEEN THERE'S A RECALL BUT I BOUGHT THE CAR AFTER THE RECALL SO I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WIRING AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IGNITION MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND I HAVE TO PUSH A BUTTON IN THE BACK IN ORDER FOR IT TO RELEASE

FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO I HAVE DEALT WITH SEVERAL ISSUES THAT STARTED HAPPENING ALL OF A SUDDEN AND ALL AT ONCE. FOR STARTERS, MY AIR BAG INDICATOR COME ON AND OFF WHEN I DRIVE AT ANY SPEED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE IT AND THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE IT AND ALL HE SAID WAS I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS WHICH WOULD HAVE COST ROUGHLY $3400.00. IN ADDITION TO THAT, MY ABS INDICATOR BEGAN GOING ON AND OFF AND HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO FEEL AS IF IT WAS ON A HYDROPLANE MODE. WHEN IT TURNS ON IT OCCASIONALLY MAKES MY CAR JERK ON THE ROAD. I WENT TO AN AUTO SUPPLY STORE FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO READING SO NOTHING WAS WRONG, DEALERSHIP SAID THE SAME. THE LIGHT SHUT OFF AND IT WAS LIKE DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN. ALSO, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE DOOR ACTUATORS AT LEAST ONE TO TWO TIMES A YEAR BECAUSE THEY CONTINUE TO BREAK. FINALLY, MY NEW BATTERIES THE LAST FEW OF YEARS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DRAINED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO DAMAGED BATTERIES EVEN THOUGH I REPLACE IT WITH BRAND NEW CAR BATTERIES.

LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHEN ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED WHEN GETTING ONTO A FREEWAY. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO AN EXIT AND GET OFF. AFTER WAITING SOME MINUTES, TURNED CAR BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO GO HOME. ALSO TRACTION CONTROL ALERT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING SLOW IN A PARKING LOT OR MAKING A SLOW RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. CAUSES A GRINDING NOISE.

MY STERRING WHEEL ON MY 2009 CHEVY IMPALA HAS RECENTLY STARTED GETTING STUCK ONCE THE ENGINE HS BEEN CUT OFF AND PARKED. SOMETIMES I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS TURNING THE KEY AND IT CRANKS RIGHT ON UP WHILE MAJORITY OF THE TIME I HAVE TO ROCK MY STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH WHILE TURNING THE KEY. MY TIRE AND PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER I HAVE BROUGHT NEW TIRES AND A OIL CHANGE. MY ACTUATOR MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I CRANK UP MY CAR AND LAST ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO THEN STOPS.

TIRES: ARE CONSTANTLY NEEDING REPLACED HAVE HAD THREE SETS OF 60K GOODYEARS TIRES IN ADDITION TO A SET OF PERILLIS WITH ABOUT 40 % TREAD SINCE FEBRAURY 2015. BRAKES: THREE SETS OF BRAKES ON VEHICLE SINCE FEBRUARY 2015. EVERYTIME VEHICLE GOES TO MECHANIC THEY STATE THAT ROTORS ARE SEVERELY WARPED. ELECTRICAL: HAVING ISSUES WITH ABS TRACTION CONTROL. THIS IS CAUSING REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHEN TURNING. WHEN CROSSING A MAIN INTERSECTIONS THE CAR COASTS ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ACTUATORS AND WIRING TO MANY VEHICLE COMPONENTS HAVING ONGOING ISSUES. AIR CONDITIONER, DOORS, DOOR LOCKS, RELAYS THE MAIN ISSUE I AM HAVING IS NON OPERATIONAL DOORS LOCKS IN VEHICLE. I HAVE TO CRAW THROUGH THE CAR TO OPEN THE DOOR LOCKS. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND MY DAUGHTER WAS STANDING OUT OF THE CAR AWAITING ME TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT NEARLY HIT MY CHILD. ANOTHER INCIDENT WAS HAVING ITEMS STOLEN FROM VEHICLE DUE TO INTERMITTENT OF THE LOCKS. IT HAS REALLY BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME WITH THIS CAR. THIS ISSUE WITH LOCKS BECAME A PROBLEM ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. I STATED TO CHEVORLET I WAS ABLE TO PRESS LOCK OR UNLOCK A COUPLE OF TIMES AND WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO AT LEAST FREE ONE LOCK WITHIN THE REAR AND FRONT. ANY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER STARTING MY CAR AND PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR CAR STARTS TO JERK LIGHTS FLICKER AND THE MESSAGE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES LOSE POWER. AND DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT ACCERERATE. I HAVE CHANGED THE ACCERATOR PETAL POSITIONING SENSOR AS WELL AS THE BATTERY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CARE WHATSOEVER. AND I'VE SEEN THAT MANY OTHER IMPALAS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE.

FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS, I HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I WOULD DRIVE OVER 40 MPH, THE ENGINE WOULD LOCK UP. THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK BACK AND FORTH. THE CAR WOULD DO THIS EVERY TIME I WOULD TRY AND DRIVE OVER 40 MPH, NO MATTER THE ROADWAY OR STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. WHENEVER THIS HAPPENED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. A MONTH BEFORE THIS PROBLEM STARTED, MY FATHER HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AND HAD AN AUTO ACCIDENT. *TR
