2016 Chevrolet Impala

THE AIRBAG REDYNESS LIGHT STAYS ON MOST OF THE TIME BUT IT DOSE GO OFF ONCE IN AWHILE FOR A FEW MINUTES. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON AND DATES BACK TO 2009 I STRONGLY FEEL A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE IS IN ORDER BECAUSE POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OFF PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT RISK. FROM MY RESEARCH DEALERSHIPS ARE CHANGING $300-400 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THE PROBLEM SHORTLY RETURNS AND THAT WANT TO CHARGE YOU AGAIN THEY JUST SAY SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS IN CASE A RECALL IS ISSUED. I STRONGLY FEEL GM IS FULLY AWARE OF HOW COMMON THE ISSUE IS AND APPARENTLY THE COST OF A RECALL OUT WEIGHS HUMAN LIFE.

HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD PROPERLY AT NIGHT TIME, ESPECIALLY AT DUSK. THE REFLECTOR INSIDE THE HOUSING DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT REFLECTABILITY TO PRODUCE THE APPROPRIATE BEAM. THE HOUSING RELIES SOLELY ON THE BULB TO PRODUCE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL HALOGEN BULBS AND LED BULBS TO SEE BETTER AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING AND NOT ONE BULB VS. ANOTHER MAKES MUCH DIFFERENCE. THE HOUSING IS JUST NOT DESIGNED TO PRODUCE A REALISTIC BEAM OF LIGHT FOR SAFE TRAVEL DOWN THE ROADWAY. THE PERIPHERALS ARE OKAY, BUT EVEN THE USE OF THE HIGH BEAM FUNCTION DOES NOT SUPPLY ADEQUATE LIGHTING DOWN THE ROADWAY TO SEE ANY BETTER.

ON APRIL 2ND, 2018, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AROUND 4:50 A.M. DRIVING ON THE 303SB ONLY ABOUT 7 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO LAG AND STALL OUT, I BEGAN TO NOTICE GREY SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. WHILE TRYING TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND AFTER ALMOST BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE INTO A SAFE ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ON PROVIDED BY MY AUTO INSURANCE USAA. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE NEVER PROVIDED ANY TYPE OF NOTIFICATION LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. IF MY OIL IS LOW MY VEHICLE TELLS ME SOMETHING, WHEN THE TIRES ARE LOW ON AIR, MY VEHICLE TELLS ME. HOW COME WHEN MY VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND WHILE IT BEGAN STALLING OUT I STILL RECEIVED NO NOTICE? I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HAD I GOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE SITUATION MAY HAVE ENDED A LOT WORSE. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AS COVERED UNDER THE USAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ENDORSEMENT THAT BEING CHEVROLET SANDS. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM A REP WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD HAD PRE-EXISTING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE SUCH AS OLD BATTERY ACID THAT HAD OVER TIME ATE AT THE WIRING OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BLOW OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP. I MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY IN OUR CARE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR IN A HALF AND THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IT CONTAINED 20,022 MILES AND THAT THE VEHICLE NOW ONLY HAD ABOUT 65,000 MILES. NONE OF THE SECURITY FEATURES EVER TURNED ON THE AUTO STOP FUNCTION DOESN'T OPERATE, THE BATTERY WAS BUILT ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION SAFETY ISSUE. THE IGNITION CUT OFF DEVICE DIDN'T WORK.

HELLO, I AM REQUESTING TO INVESTIGATE THE DESIGN OF HEADLIGHTS IN CHEVROLET IMPALA 2016 V6 LT. THE DESIGN OF HEADLIGHTS AND ITS HOUSING FOR THIS CAR NEVER PROVIDE CLEAR SIDE VIEWS OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE CAR. CURRENTLY, THE FOCUS OF BOTH THE HEADLIGHTS (WHEN TURNED ON) STAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AHEAD WHICH MAKES THE SIDE VIEW OF THE ROAD AHEAD OF THE CAR UNCLEAR. BOTH THE HEADLIGHTS' FOCUSES MERGE AT THE CENTRE OF THE ROAD AHEAD. IT MAKES TO TAKE A TURN VERY DIFFICULT AT NIGHT. I HAVE TRIED PUTTING HALOGEN, HIDS, LED BULBS INTO MY CAR'S HEADLIGHT BUT NONE OF THE BULBS COULD PROVIDE THE CLEAR VIEW. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER RECENTLY AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT HOUSING OF THE BULBS ARE DESIGNED SUCH WAY THAT CAR WILL NEVER GIVE A CLEAR VIEW OF BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD AHEAD. I HAVE RECENTLY VISITED A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TO CHECK IF THE SIMILAR ISSUE EXISTS IN NEWER VEHICLES, DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEIR HOUSING IS THE SAME AND HAS CHANGED IN LAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF MY CAR FROM INSIDE WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. IN THIS PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE THE HEADLIGHTS DOES =N'T GIVE ANY CLEAR VIEW OF THE SIDE ROADS/PATHWAYS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. EVEN THOUGH I HAD PUT THE 6000 LUMEN LED BULBS IN MY CAR WHICH ORIGINALLY HAD HALOGEN BULBS FACTORY INSTALLED AND ARE LESS BRIGHT THAN THE LED BULBS. I WANT TO HAVE A SAFETY INSPECTION OF CARS OF THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL AND ITS HEADLIGHT DESIGN.
