2015 Chevrolet Impala

INITIAL WARNING LIGHT WAS "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" BUT THEN RESULTED MASS ELECTRICAL FAILURE. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WERE LIT UP. ALL THE GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD WERE AT ZERO. THE FOLLOWING VEHICLE MESSAGES WERE TRIGGERED: SERVICE FRONT CAMERA, SERVICE PARK ASSIST, SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM, SERVICE AIRBAG, SERVICE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM. I SPORADICALLY LOST POWER IN THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET CERTIFIED SERVICE AND AFTER 3 HOURS THEY INDICATED THEY REPLACED A COUPLE BLOWN FUSES AND THAT ALL SYSTEMS WERE UP AND RUNNING EXCEPT THE "SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM". AT THAT POINT, I HAD TO LEAVE AND GO TO WORK. WITHIN THE DAY, I WAS BACK A SQUARE ONE WITH ALL OF THE SAME ISSUES. AFTER TAKING IT BACK A SECOND TIME, THEY INDICATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE "REAR SI MODULE" IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO, AFTER IT ALL I WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR 5 TOTAL DAYS AND STUCK WITH A BILL OF $1600. THIS EXACT ISSUE IS REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES SPECIFICALLY ON THIS SITE. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

SIDE OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM FAILED 1ST (2/2018). SEE ATTACHMENT FROM ENGINEERING AT MY FORMER EMPLOYER (GMPG). 2ND ISSUE: DASH ILLUMINATION GOES BACK & FORTH FROM NORMAL TO EXTREMELY BRIGHT, DIMMING INOP. 3RD ISSUE SAFETY...WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED, ERROR MESSAGES FOR AIRBAG, SIDE OBJECT DETECTION, FRONT & REAR CAMERA-HVAC COMPLETELY INOP. RADIO INOP-BEGINS WORKING AFTER ELECTRIC FACEPLATE LIFTED ON RADIO. HVAC & AIRBAG REMAIN INOP. ASKED DEALERSHIP ABOUT SIDE OBJECT ISSUE- THEY HAVE NO INFO ON THIS. ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS STARTED 2/13/2019. WHEN STARTING WITH RKE, SIDE OBJECT LIGHTS IN MIRROR ILLUMINATED SITTING IN A PARKING LOT. THEY HAVE NOT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING IN OVER A YEAR. NO HEAT OR DEFROST WORKING-BIG SAFETY ISSUE IN WINTER WEATHER.

2015 CHEVY IMPALA SIDE BLIND ZONE LEFT SIDE ALERT FAILED TO WORK, AND ACCORDING TO MY CHEVROLET SERVICE SHOP IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE NOT STARTING, THE ENGINE KILLING AFTER STARTING REMOTELY, AND THE CAUSE OF MASS COMMUNICATION FAILURE ALERTS WITH AND BETWEEN THE VEHICLE'S OTHER SAFETY AND NON SAFETY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. NONE OF THE CARS DASH GAGES WORKED FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER THE MASS ALERT HAPPENED. 10 MILES AFTER I HAD THE LEFT SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT REPLACED, I RECEIVED AN ALERT THAT A BLIND ZONE ALERT NEEDED SERVICE. IT TURNS OUT THE RIGHT SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT FAILED AFTER HAVING THE LEFT SIDE REPLACED. MY DAUGHTER HAS THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE AND SHE IS GETTING THE SERVICE BLIND SIDE ALERT ALERT AFTER HAVING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MODULES REPLACES A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THE COST TO REPLACE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT MODULES IS OVER $1400. THE MASS SYSTEM FAILURE ALERTS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND ENGINE RUNNING.

SIDE COLLISION DETECTION SENSORS GO OUT AND IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. ALL MY WARNING SENSORS WENT OUT BEFORE, LUCKILY THIS WAS JUST A FUSE. BUT THE SIDE DETECTION IS STILL. PEOPLE PAY EXTRA MONEY FOR THESE SAFETY FEATURES AND THEY SHOULD WORK! MINE WENT OUT ABOUT 1000 MILES OVER 36000 MILE WARRANTY AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED DOESN'T COVER THIS. PASSENGER SIDE DETECTION WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING. ALL OTHER CAR WAS STATIONARY. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED THESE CAN CAUSE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS IN THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM IF NOT FIXED. I CAN FIND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS LABOUR THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE REAR CAMERA FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE LANE DEPARTURE ALERT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (DOAN CHEVROLET, 5049 W RIDGE RD, SPENCERPORT, NY 14559) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MODULE HARNESS WAS CORRODED AND THERE WAS WATER INTRUSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND OFFERED TO ASSIST THE CONTACT WITH HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,990.

WITH NO PARTICULAR TRIGGER, MY SENSORS STARTED TO FAIL ONE BY ONE. THEN, MY RADIO TOUCH DISPLAY WENT OUT. NOW, MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING, GO INTO THEFT MODE, OR HAVE THE ENTIRE DASH SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, LEAVING ME WITH LITTLE TO NO FUNCTIONALITY OTHER THAN STEERING.

TRUNK AUTOMATICALLY POPS OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY/ROAD, WHILE PARKED, AND WHEN INITIALLY STARTING AND WON'T PROPERLY CLOSE DUE TO THE LATCH RECYCLING CONSTANTLY WHEN IT POPS OPEN. PURCHASED VEHICLE IN OCT 2015 AND REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHING THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS. IT HAS BEEN IN TO HAVE REPAIRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH THE SAME ISSUE REOCCURRING. EXTREMELY UNSAFE!
