2015 Chevrolet Impala

I WENT OUT THE NIGHT OF AUGUST 28TH TO CELEBRATE THE ARRIVAL OF MY FIRST CHILD. AS MY FRIEND AND I WERE RETURNING HOME AROUND 1 AM ON THE 29TH OF AUGUST, I WAS STOPPED FOR DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON. I ASKED THE OFFICER HOW CAN THAT BE CONSIDERING I HAVE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. HE DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THERE WERE AUTONOMOUS EQUIPMENT IN VEHICLES TODAY. THE POLICE OFFICER APPLIED FOR A WARRANT FOR MY BLOOD AND DREW IT WITHOUT MY CONSENT. WHEN I GOT TO THE JAIL, I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO ANYONE OTHER THAN MY ATTORNEY OR JUDGE. THEY TOOK THIS AS SIGN OF HAVING SUICIDAL THOUGHTS. THEY HAD TWO GUARDS ASK ME FOR MY CLOTHES IN EXCHANGE FOR A BEACH BLANKET WHICH WOULD ONLY COVER THE BOTTOM, UPPER, FRONT, OR BACK SIDE OF MY BODY. ALL THIS BECAUSE I HAD A DEFECTIVE SAFETY DEVICE. THE OFFICER STATED HE NOTICED THE CAR'S HEADLIGHT WERE OFF AFTER I WAS HIT WITH HIGH BEAMS. THE SENSOR TURNS THE LIGHTS OFF WHEN IT'S HIT BY A PHOTON AND SLIPS INTO A DELAY SCENARIO. AND DOESN'T TURN THEM ON UNTIL THE SENSORS BELIEVE IT'S DARK ENOUGH. WHATEVER THAT IS. THE STATE'S (TEXAS) LAW REQUIRED THE LIGHT TO BE ON WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME. I'VE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE MANUFACTURER ON TWO OCCASIONS. I'M ASKING THAT YOU INCLUDE STATE REGULATIONS SO THAT THIS KIND OF THING DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS REALLY SHAKING MY TRUST WITH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. IN FOLLOWING THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS TRYING TO ADDRESS SAFETY, IT SEEMS A LAW WAS BROKEN. AM I PROTECTED BY ANY FEDERAL PREEMPTION PROVISIONS? I HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY MY BLOOD HAD TO BE TAKEN WHEN IT WAS THE SOFTWARE MAKING THE DECISIONS. ARE THERE ANY SAFEGUARDS? I AM CONCERNED WITH WHO ELSE THIS WILL EFFECT.

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!

2015 CHEV. IMPALA-SHORTLEY AFTER I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO START IT. I PUT IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE THE CAR HESITATE THEN GERKS IN THE DIRECTION IM GOING. THEREVVVVBBVCDEEB BFVB B FV BB IS A DELAY IN EVERTHING ON THE DASHBOARD. EX. IF I TRY TO TURN THE RADIO UP RIGHT AFTER STARTING MY CAR THE VOLUME WILL NO TURN UP.

THE POSTS IMPLEMENTED TO KEEP THE FLOOR MATS FROM SLIDING UNDER THE PEDALS ON THE DRIVER SIDE ARE LOOSELY ATTACHED TO THE CARPET ONLY AND EASILY RIP OUT CAUSING THE MATS TO SLIDE BACK UNDER THE PEDALS. THESE POSTS ARE NOT ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR BOARDS OR FRAME, THEY ARE ONLY ATTACHED TO A 1/4" PIECE OF FABRIC THAT IS THE FLOOR CARPET. THESE POSTS SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR BOARD OR FRAME AS THEY ARE A SAFETY FEATURE.

"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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN SYSTEM FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PRESS THE HORN WITH FORCE TO BE ABLE TO SOUND A WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HORN SYSTEM WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

THE HID HEADLIGHT BEAM OF THE 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA LT IS VERY POOR. THE BEAM OF LIGHT IN THE LOW SETTING PROVIDES NO ILLUMINATION TO THE SIDES OF THE ROAD, FORWARD ILLUMINATION IS MARGINAL. I CONTEND THAT WHEN THE 2015 IMPALA LIGHTS ARE ON THE HIGH OR "BRIGHT" SETTING IT IS COMPRABALE TO THE LOW BEAM SETTING IN MY 2012 IMPALA. IN MODERATE TO HEAVY WEATHER, RAIN, SLEET, SNOW THE HEADLIGHTS OFFER NO ASSISTANCE, DRIVER IS NAVIGATING BLIND, CAN NOT EVEN SEE THE LINES ON THE ROAD. I LIVE AND DRIVE PRIMARILY IN A RURAL AREA, ALONG WITH THE WEATHER CONDITIONS THERE ARE MANY WILDLIFE HAZARDS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH WILDLIFE AND TWO IMPACTS, ONE WITH A DEER CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO MY CAR. I SIMPLY CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING UNTIL IT IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IT IS IN MY JUDGEMENT THESE HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE NOT ONLY FOR THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE, BUT OTHERS SHARING THE ROADS WITH THE VEHICLE.

I AM WRITING THIS EMAIL IN REGARDS T MY 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. ON MARCH 14TH 2016 I PURCHASED A USED 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHEN I PURCHASED THE IMPALA IT HAD 12,050 MILES. MARCH 17TH 2016 ONLY THREE DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, I GOT IN THE CAR TO HEAD TO WORK, WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON THERE WAS AN ERROR STATING POWER STEERING NEEDS SERVICE. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AND WAS IN A LOCKED POSITION. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND AT THAT POINT THEY SAID THEY HAD TO SEND A TOW TRUCK TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE. AROUND 11:00AM THAT DAY A TOW TRUCK CAME TO PICK UP THE CAR AND I WENT WITH THE TOW TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP A LOANER VEHICLE. A FEW HOURS LATER I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATING MY CAR WAS REPAIRED AND I COULD PICK IT UP. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A COMMUNICATION ERROR WITH THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM THE SYSTEM WAS RESET AND I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS MOVING FORWARD . PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT DATED MARCH 17TH 2016. ON MAY 6TH 2016, I WAS BACKING OUT OF GARAGE/ DRIVEWAY AND AS I WENT TO TURN (STILL IN REVERSE POSITION) I SUDDENLY WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS SENT TO A VOICEMAIL DUE TO THE TIME BEING AFTER HOURS. I THEN PROCEED TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND THE WARNING WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR INTO A SAFE POSITION ON THE ROAD. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT DATED MAY 11 2016. ON JUNE 25TH 2016 IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING. I THANK GOD THAT MY BOYFRIEND AND I WERE ON A SIDE STREET AND WE WERE GOING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE.
