THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

SINCE I PURCHASE THE CAR DECEMBER 2016, I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL WELL. FROM A TIRE ROD, CV AXLE, WHEEL HUB, AND THE STABILITRAK OFF LIGHT. TODAY, I GET AN ENGINE LIGHT AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN DRASTICALLY. NOW I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCE, STABILITRAK OFF AND TRACTION OFF!

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE IGNITION SWITCH HAS WENT OUT AND MY " SERVICE AIR BAG " LIGHT HAS CAME ON AS WELL. I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER ON THIS SITE AND "0 RECALLS" SHOWS UP AS A RESULT. HOWEVER ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THAT WAS ONCE RECALLED ARE BOTH IN TACT ON MY VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO, I RECENTLY SEARCHED "IGNITION SWITCH RECALL" ON THE RECALL LIST AND "CHEVY IMPALA 2013 " CAME UP AS RESULT AND THAT IS CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE IM DRIVING AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM IM HAVING. I REACHED OUT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED SAID MY VEHICLE ISN'T LISTED FOR RECALLS HOWEVER LIKE STATED BEFORE I HAVE THAT SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. TO ADD MORE INFORMATION DEALERSHIP EVEN INFORMED THAT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED BUT THE PROBLEM HAD JUST BEGUN.

WAS TRAVELING ALONG AND I THINK I HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE CAR DINGED. I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND THREE MESSAGES POPPED UP, "SERVICE STABILITRAK", "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE TRACTION OFF LIGHT SHOWS UP. HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY HAVE HAD IT FIXED AT LEAST ONCE ON THIS VEHICLE AND ALSO ON MY 2012 IMPALA BEFORE IT WAS TOTALED.

WHILE DRIVING AND USUALLY MAKING HARD TURN AND BRAKING THE SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGES APPEAR ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND THE ABS LIGHT TURNED ON. HAD DIAGNOSTICS CHECKED ON IT AND FOUND CODE FOR FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARING AND POSSIBLE ABS SENSOR. HAD THE WHEEL BEARING AND HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED BY PROFESSIONAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. DROVE HOME AND AS RETURNING HOME, MADE LEFT TURN AND BRAKED AND FELT THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY LOCK UP. HIT GAS AND ALL LIGHTS AND MESSAGES REAPPEARED. SERVICED AT 87,000 MILES.
