2009 Chevrolet Impala

THIS RECALL FOR PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM HARNESS WAS REPLACED IN 2016 AND REPLACED WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART STILL SHOWING THE AIRBAG RECALL LIGHT NO DEALER WILL FIX THIS DEFECTIVE RECALL REPLACEMENT AND GENERAL MOTORS KEEPS SAYING I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. ONLY 600 MILES HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE CAR SINCE THE REPLACEMENT AND NO ONE WILL RESPOND. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY MOTHER OWNED THE CAR AND IT WAS TRANSFERRED TO ME.

I STARTED MY CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS BOTH CAME ON. I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE INTO THE LANE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE BEFORE MY CAR SHUT OFF, BUT I WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING BLASTED BY AN ONCOMING SEMI TRUCK. THIS COULD'VE BEEN FATAL TO ME IF I HAD NOT GOTTEN OVER IN TIME.

"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

BAD SOLENOID IN TRANSMISSION CAUSES CAR TO JERK UPON ACCELERATION. TRANSMISSION SLIPS. USUALLY HAPPENS TAKING OFF FROM A STOP WITH A SLOW ACCELERATION. FEELS LIKE BEING REAR ENDED AND CAN CAUSE SLUGGISH ACCELERATION. PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL AS MANY OTHER IMPALA DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE. ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 9 TIMES WITHIN A 6 WEEK PERIOD.

POSSIBLE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL ? THE DASH DISPLAYS 'CHECK AIRBAGS' EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN USE, STATIONARY OR DRIVING, STAYS CONTINUOUSLY LIT. THIS AIRBAG DISPLAY AND SYMBOL NEVER GOES OFF. AIRBAG SYMBOL STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY ON DASH ALSO. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY AND MY OWN SAFETY WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU (XXXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I WAS DRIVING ALONE ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT THE RMP GAUGES WAS GOING UP AND DOWN, THEN SUDDENLY A MESSAGE ON THE DASH READ, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER ANOTHER MESSAGE READ, ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP ANY SPEED. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND CONFUSING BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY I HAD NO ISSES BUT HAS NOW IT DID THE SAME THING TODAY. PLEASE HELP.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AND THE RECIRCULATION DOOR ACTUATOR. THE DOOR LOOKS ARE NOW 98% MANUAL. EVERY ONCE-IN-AWHILE THEY WILL START WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS LED TO A FEW INSTANCES OF MY VEHICLE BEING LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE KEYS INSIDE. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS WHEN IT COMES TO PETS AND CHILDREN. THERE IS A LOUD TAPPING BEHIND THE DASH DUE TO THE RECIRCULATION DOOR ACTUATOR. THIS CAN BE RATHER DISTRACTING AND WORRISOME WHEN IT STARTS HAPPENING FOR THE FIRST TIME WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE FOR GM/ CHEVY VEHICLES DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
