2013 Chevrolet Impala

AT 47,000MILES THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE HUB WHEEL. THE LIGHT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE STABILITYTRACK WARNING CAME ON. IT GOES OFF. BUT THEN WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS RESEARCHING TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO NO AVAIL. THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS CHEVY MODEL.

UNWANTED TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEED. IT USUALLY HAPPENS FROM A STOP WHEN TURNING LEFT, BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED WHEN TURNING LEFT, WHEN GOING STRAIGHT OVER A BUMPY ROAD AND ALSO WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE ROADS ARE DRY. TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ACTIVATES WITH A DISTINCT NOISE AND VEHICLE HESITATION. DASH LIGHTS/NOTIFICATIONS ARE USUALLY NOT ACTIVATED HOWEVER SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL HAS APPEARED A FEW TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ONE AND A HALF YEARS VERY INTERMITTENTLY, BUT HAS BECOME CONSTANT NOW EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR 6 DAYS OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I FINALLY DROVE WITH A MECHANIC AND EASILY REPLICATED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR A 4TH TIME (AFTER THE MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM). THE CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE PROBLEM MUST BE REPAIRED PERMANENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY, STABILIZER BAR, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TIE RODS, AND BRAKES SHOULD BE REPLACED TO MITIGATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2014 THE TRACTION CONTROL HAS FIRED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE, SO I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO IT. NOW RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED AGAIN AND MUCH WORSE. IT NOW DOES IT WHEN I TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION, GOING FORWARD OR REVERSING AND THE TRACTION LIGHT WILL FLASH ON DRIVING STRAIGHT AS WELL.

MY CAR MAKES A GRINDING SOUND WHEN I TURN LEFT AND LOSES POWER, ALSO TODAY THE SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST AND THE TRACTION LIGHTS ALL CAME ON WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE READ MANY THINGS FROM MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THIS CERTAIN PROBLEM AND IT IS COSTLY TO GET THIS FIXED AND I FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TRYING TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVING YOUR CAR LOSE POWER.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.
