2015 Chevrolet Impala

MY SIDE DETECTION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND STILL IT WAS ON, UNTIL WHAT SEEMED LIKE THE LIGHTS BURNED OUT IN MY READ VIEW MIRRORS. THE WARNING COMES UP ON MY DASH REPEATEDLY. I JUST RECEIVED A BID TO HAVE IT FIXED, $1200. 00 AND ITS PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED FROM CHEVY. SEEMS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE. I CALLED CHEVY, THEY SAID NO RECALL UNTIL THERE IS A "SAFETY CONCERN", NOT COVERED UNLESS YOU ARE UNDER YOU 36K MILES. I AM NOT, SUPER FRUSTRATING TO PAY THAT MUCH TO HAVE A "CONVENIENCE" FEATURE FIXED.

HAVINNHTSA AT WWW.NHTSA.GOV. NHTSA G ISSUES WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON AND OFF, AND THE MORE I SURCHARGE ABOUT IT, IT SEENS TO BE THAT A LOT OF OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHEVY IMPALAS, WHEN YOU TURN LEFT IS WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON THEN SECONDS OR MINUTES AFTER THAT THE GO AWAY AND ITS BEEN DOING FOR A WHILE, SO I CHANGE THE WHEELS HUBS ASSEMBLY, BRAKE PADS AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SO LM VERY SURPRISED THAT IT HASN'T COUGHED THE ATTENTION SO MANY OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH THEY CHEVY IMPALAS... TANKS

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (RUSH HOUR) GETTING READY TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE LUNGED VIOLENTLY JOLTED AND LOST POWER. AT THAT TIME I WAS DRIVING (CRUISE CONTROL OFF) AT 60MPH, THE DISPLAY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON STATED: STABILITY CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL,CHECK ENGINE CAME LIGHT ON, AND VEHICLE RAPIDLY SLOWING. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND ACCESS AND EXIT RAMP. ONCE THAT HAPPENED YOU CAN'T GET VEHICLE TO MOVE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. I WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNED ON THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS A FEW OTHER TIMES HOWEVER; NO CODES COME BACK WHEN DIAGNOSED AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ITSELF OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE HOWEVER; GM DOESN'T WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THEIR ISSUE TO MAKE THEIR VEHICLES SAFE. I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE LUCKY IN THE FACT NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED HOWEVER; I AM NOW PAYING TO HAVE MY CAR PARKED IN A LOT WAITING FOR GM.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW 21 MONTHS AGO, 3 TIMES NOW, AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL NOT START, AND I AM TOLD THE BATTERY IS FINE AND NO CODES ARE STORED. WHEN TRYING TO START VEHICLE, ELEC. STABILITY CONTROL WARNING BEGANS TO FLASK ON SCREEN, BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT START.

I LEASED A NEW 2015 IMPALA AT THE END OF MAY 2015. IT IS THE LT2 MODEL. IN OCT. 2015 I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN. THE CAR HAD A SUDDEN REDUCTION OF POWER, DROPPING FROM 70MPH TO AROUND 30MPH. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC TO AVOID BEING HIT BY OTHER CARS. AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND IT ODD IN A BRAND NEW CAR, BUT FIGURED IT WAS A FLUKE. IN OCT. 2016 IT HAPPENED AGAIN! THE VEHICLE QUICKLY DROPPED FROM 60MPH OR SO, DOWN TO 30MPH AND I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BY A SEMI. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND EXITED AFTER DRIVING A MILE OR SO IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. THIS TIME, I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD NEED TO TOW IT BACK. AFTER THEY CHECKED OUT THE CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ONCE AGAIN THE FUEL PUMP. 2 FUEL PUMPS AND TWO NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES UNDER 20K MILES. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THEY NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING.I COULD NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN FEAR. THE REASON WE DECIDED TO LEASE A NEW VEHICLE WAS TO HAVE A SAFE, RELIABLE CAR. WE WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE SUDDEN REDUCTION OF POWER (RESULTING IN 2 NEAR ACCIDENTS) WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" IN THE PARTICULAR TRIM PKG OF OUR VEHICLE. IT WAS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE ENGINE IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT CHEVY IS MORE CONCERNED WITH PROTECTING THEIR VEHICLES THAN THE OCCUPANTS INSIDE. AFTER WRITING A NEGATIVE REVIEW ON THE CHEVY CUSTOMER SURVEY, I WAS CONTACTED BY GM. I EXPLAINED MY COMPLETE DISSATISFACTION WITH THE VEHICLE AND SINCE I NO LONGER FELT SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY IN THIS UNRELIABLE VEHICLE, I WANTED OUT. THEIR SOLUTION? A FREE YEAR OF XM RADIO. THIS PAST WEEKEND (3/5/17) THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. MY HUSBAND USED A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE 3RD TIME! THE CAR HAS JUST UNDER 29K MILES ON IT & IT WAS BARELY 3K MILES SINCE THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED.

"SEVICE STABILITRAK" LIGHT CAME ON, THEN 2 HOURS LATER ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND ON EVERY LEFT TURN THERE IS A CRUNCHING SOUND IN THE FRONT TIRE AND ALARMS SOUND, AND MY ENGINE STARTED STALLING AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET, ALMOST WAS IN A CRASH. WHEN I MADE IT HOME I RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND MANY OTHER IMPALA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, SAME SCENARIO. THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE THAT EVERY CHEVY CUSTOMER IS DESCRIBING THIS SAME SITUATION. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THESE IMPALA'S. WE ALL LOVE OUR IMPALA'S BUT YOU CANNOT ALLOW US TO BE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD IN DANGER. WE WANT TO SUPPORT AMERICAN MADE!! PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.

INITIALLY IT STARTED OUT WITH LOSING ALL LIGHTING CONTROL DURING DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10SEC AFTER WHICH IT COMES BACK ON. THIS WHEN ON ARE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I STARTED GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGE 'POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE' WHICH ALTERNATES WITH ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE 'STABILITRAK'. EACH TIME THIS COMES ON DURING DRIVING, THE CAR JERKS A LITTLE WITH THE EMERGENCY PARK LIGHT FOR ABOUT 2SEC AND IF I WERE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT AUTOMATICALLY DISABLES IT. THIS IS REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST AM DRIVING.
