My service airbag sensor light had been on since i purchased my car a year ago, i am going to sell it but i didn't want to sell it with something that has to do with safety being questionable. I drove it to auto nation yesterday june 11th to see if it was a recall. They said there hasn't been one. I drove it home and started searching online for possible problems with it and there were so many posts about this issue. I searched under the passenger seat because that's what i read to do and low and behold all types of wires under it are completely severed and torn up. I was going to fix this myself but i really don't want to be held liable in case of accident or injury. This must be fixed and it's my belief that it's caused by the vehicle design. Please hold chevrolet responsible for this repair as it is very dangerous for both the passenger and possibly everyone else in the vehicle. Thank you very much for looking into this. I also believe that when a person calls a dealer telling then exactly what they found d (i called lenlyle on colfax and sable in aurora, co. And explained to then my findings and they told me that i would have to pay for this repair. They should direct a person to you guys when something that has to do with safety is found to be defective. This should be a requirement that they contact you dot as well as offer a repair imediately and consider themselves lucky that someone wasn't killed because a person came to them with the problem instead of trying to do the repair themselves.

Potential defective seat belt assemblies causing airbag lights to come on and off intermittently when the seats are moved forward and backwards.local repair shop performed diagnostic test and the code displayed led them to the passenger side air bag.within a day of the repair the light came back on but went off and has not illuminated since.i have contacted gm (case # sr # 71-13111-46047) and they have refused to assist stating there are no recalls for this issue for the impala and will not reimburse me since i used a local repair shop and not a gm dealership.i believe this is a defective seat belt assembly that gm has installed in chevy impala?s and they refuse to take ownership.their track record with faulty parts and failure to recall unsafe vehicles has been proven.i feel this is a serious safety concern and i am asking the ntsb look into this matter.

Everytime i turn on car my dash says service airbag and wont go off
1) airbag light intermittently has gone on and off for months. I asked dealer about it, they said it would be expensive to diagnose because they would have to trace the wiring harness, removing seat and dashboard. Labor would be expensive. I complained to gm on a couple of occasions and was given a case#. I was told car is out of warranty, therefore, it would be my expense to have this diagnosed and fixed. Dealer said airbag would not deploy if light is illuminated. This a major safety defect. Fall 2013.2) the rear window defroster stopped working last fall 2013. I had to pay for total repair as it was not covered under warranty. They said it was a wiring issue. Impala's have been known to have issue. Oct 2013.3) the gas pedal fell off while i was driving. Dealer said they never experienced anything like that before, but would have to replace the entire assembly. Not covered under warranty, therefore, entire cost was mine. Safety issue.sept 20134) the evap vent valve and solenoid had to be replaced. System leak pressurized evap would not hold. Apr 2012other issues have been reported/repaired, however, do not have paperwork at time of this complaint.
Airbag light goes on and off while driving. Took to dealer said it is a $700 repair for the "seat belt tensioner". Transmission exploded at 30,000 miles. At 60,000 mile had to replace transmission again. Now at 108,000 miles transmission is now slipping and not accelerating properly from a stop.

Message comes on saying reducing engine power then traction controlservice lights comes on and stays on all while i'm losing power trying to get over to safety i have my foot on the gas pedal but no power at all put my flashers on lucky chp seen me and helped me to the shoulder.call aaa while waiting i start the car up press on the pedal i have power.
The service airbag light came on but you claim my vin number is not under recall! this should be looked into! it came on when i started it and stayed on until i was on my way home from work then it disappeared. I also have a break that is grinding even after it has had new rotors, brake pads and the caliper changed. It grinds continuously. I am not happy at all! please check into these matters! i believe my car should be on your recall list for these issues!
The air bag indicator light comes on sporadically. Recently it has come on and stayed on for about 2 months then turned off for a couple of days, then came back on.
The gauges on the dashboard fail during driving. The passenger airbags turn on and off during driving. The tire pressure monitoring and fuel gauge warning comes on during driving even though fuel and air are fine. Sometimes at 0mph the gauge will be stuck at prior speed. Gauges fail when passenger airbag turns off. Incidents occur seemingly only when a passenger is present, when passenger airbag is turned on.

A week later i noticed when i slow down using the breaks it makes a shaking sound, making the whole car shake. This vehicle also has no coverage when pumping gas i noticed the silver cap insidethat's suppose to remain closed until you put the gas pump in there in always open, which allows air to get inside.

The "service airbag system" light came on and i was told that this is a dealership only problem and the dealership wants $130.00 just to check it out. Being a safety issue and a dealership fix only problem i feel like i should not have to pay for attention to this matter.
Good morning i just would like to say this is my second vehicle from chevy but this vehicle has really placed me in a bad bind. First the airbag light comes on and off for the passed month, next the key becomes stuck in the ignition then it went out had to replace that. Traction control light comes on comes over board with message saying," engine power is reduced then message states car shutting down " in the middle of driving . This last time i had my new born grandbaby in the car driving on expressway going 60speed limit car just shut offcars flying pass me i was really terrified for my safety and my grand child. This has occurred off and on since last year. Last year i had taken it back to all star chevy in miss.they stated they couldn't find anything cost me a good penny when they stated that the warranty was out. Now the car will not start. I have been replacing alot of electrical issues with this car for the last year but this time is the last time my grand baby and myself could have lost our life"now no car to get back and forth to work i have been really patient with chevy with this car i still have all my receipts from aaa fixing this car i refused to spend any more money on this car. I need toknow if this company will help me because a 2010 should not havethis much problem.

Air bag sensor has been tripped for the past 7 months, i have researched this recall, and it looks like the wiring harness might be the only thing that needs to be replaced. However, whenever, i put in my vin number, there aren't any recalls for this. Also, i have received a letter about the gas sensor possibly being bad, however, when i took it into a chevy dealer to have it fixed, they refused to. They told me that the check engine light wasn't on, and that i had to wait until it failed before they would fix it! failure of this sensor means, it could fail in an intersection, or while i am passing someone, or whatever, this is a safety concern!!! i am very unhappy that they wouldn't fix it. Now, my check engine light is on, however, it is because another sensor is bad! the evc sensor now has to be fixed. The airbag sensor was tripped while i was driving on the hwy at 70 mph on a warm day of 80 f or so.the evc sensor tripped overnight when i started the car in the morning. The gas pedal sensor has been a problem for 3 years because chevy dealers refuse to fix it. These concerns are in addition to the other mechanical fixes that i have had to do on a car that has less than 87,000 miles on it! i am feeling like i have a lemon of a car and that this impala is the worst car on the market. I have had several chevy products, and have never experienced problems like this. What happened to the great products that chevy once produced???

With no warning, no lights coming on or anything my car began to lose acceleration and stopped then it just would not move at all! the tow truck had a hard time getting the car onto his truck as the wheels locked up..............no warning lights, never slipped never had any transmission issues.
I have a 2010 chevy impala that has a service air bags message on the dic message console. From what i have read online this is a definite safety hazard because the air bags may not work in an accident.

While driving with a passenger in the front seat, the passenger airbag would switch off for no reason without the passenger moving. This happened a number of times over about a week. Then on friday october 3rd, 2014 it happened again and this time right after it happened all the gauges dropped including fuel, mph, rpm, etc... So i pulled into a parking lot and before i was able to stop, the computer module in the car died as well as the engine. I ended up hitting a light post in the parking lot while avoiding a pedestrian. The car has since ceased to start at all. Luckily no one was hurt but this car was clearly not safe. I consider myself very lucky.

While driving the vehicle, my 17 year old son informed me that the service air bag light came on.i took it to a chevrolet dealership near my town.they ran tests all day to say that a connection in the right side of the front passenger seatand a terminal needed to be replaced ($264).before getting home, which is about 10 miles from the dealership, the light came back on.call the dealership and returned car.this time they tell me that the seat belt pretensioner needs to be replaced ($215).i felt i was being given the run around so i did not get it repaired there.six months later the light comes back on.i take it to a honda dealership thinking they have better quality cars and they test it.they say that it's something else in the seat and that it will be approximately $700 to repair.i contact gm to see if there is a recall or something that can be done.they state no recall and that if it's not repaired by certified gm dealership, if it is later recalled i will not be refunded.i take it to certified gm dealer and they say they don't find anything because the system has been reset.last week, after the light staying on continuously i take it to the certified gm dealership.they run diagnostics and tell me that it's the seat belt pretensioner.after paying approximately $325 and them keeping my car for a week, i receive the car back and 35 miles later the light reappears.i am definitely sick of this car and think gm is aware of this problem but they don't want to fix it because of all the other recalls they are having.i have spent over $700 to no avail.my next car will definitely not be anything gm!calling gm is a waste of time because they act as if my call is a burden to them.

Haven't been in an accident and yet the service airbag light has come on in the car. It's ridiculous how many issues the impala has and yet there are no recalls.
I have not been in any accidents but the service airbag lights started staying on.when i am operating the vehicle, sometimes the light will turn off and sometimes it does not.in addition, i have had instances where multiple lights will come on and the engine's power is reduced by 50% according to the indicator.i have taken the car to the dealership and had the lights "reset".but this latest problem with the airbags has me rattled.i really do not feel that i should have to pay $1500 or more to get new airbags when the car has not been in an accident and i cannot afford a new car.

I was driving down the street and suddenly i heard a popping sound and i noticed the car wasn't accelerating normally so i made it to my destination and i started the car up went to put it in drive and it wouldn't accelerate is was though the car was in neutral so i put it in reverse and it went into reverse put it 3rd gear wouldn't accelerate the i tried 2cd gear and it drove kind of ruff so i then tried 1st gear and and i was able to make it home at 15 mph so i took the car to the chevy dealer i bought it from and to my surprise they say there were some defective parts in the transmission and they could rebuild the transmission for 2100 dollars and i would have to pay 850 to have it fixed because my car is out of warranty as 7/23/14the car has the airbag service light andtire sensor light that appears on the dashboard .

Had to put a new battery in and then the message light came on to service the air bag....they said a module went out under the drivers seat and under the left front bumper.......it will cost $ 1030 + tax...only 43,000 miles on the car. I cant afford to have it fixed and i'm told that the airbag wont work if i get in an accident till i get it fixed.........would that keep my insurance from paying if i do get in an accident and they see the air bag should have been serviced??
While driving on an sharp incline i needed to apply my brakes to successfully decrease speed (65 to 45). After completing this action a service message appeared on my dash board, "service air bag". This message has been displayed several times since then, generally after applying my brakes suddenly or any time i decrease from a speed over 60. I contacted my dealership asking if there was a issue. I was told to have my computer reset but that seems to temporarily fix my issues.

I was driving home from work and i was doing 55 mph,and the car started to hesitate,and the dashboard info read stabilitrac, engine safty mod, and reduced power. Then the car started to slow down,and when i tried to give it some gas the engine started to knock,and the temperature gauge went all the way up to the top. I pulled over and shut the car off,and opened the hood, and it wasn't even over heating.after letting it sit for a few minutes i started it up and went about five hundred feet and it did it again.
1) airbag light intermittently has gone on and off for months. I asked dealer about it, they said it would be expensive to diagnose because they would have to trace the wiring harness, removing seat and dashboard. Labor would be expensive. I complained to gm on a couple of occasions and was given a case#. I was told car is out of warranty, therefore, it would be my expense to have this diagnosed and fixed. Dealer said airbag would not deploy if light is illuminated. This a major safety defect. Fall 2013.2) the rear window defroster stopped working last fall 2013. I had to pay for total repair as it was not covered under warranty. They said it was a wiring issue. Impala's have been known to have issue. Oct 2013.3) the gas pedal fell off while i was driving. Dealer said they never experienced anything like that before, but would have to replace the entire assembly. Not covered under warranty, therefore, entire cost was mine. Safety issue.sept 20134) the evap vent valve and solenoid had to be replaced. System leak pressurized evap would not hold. Apr 2012other issues have been reported/repaired, however, do not have paperwork at time of this complaint.
Car was checked out for electrical noise coming from the dashboard from chevrolet dealer and said that the vehicle had a electrical problem within the dashboard area (part- air inlet recirculation valve, actuator) which is why we heard loud clicking noises, noises would at time continue even when the car was in off position. But three days later took the car to my trusted mechanic to have issue fixed (non-dealer) and mechanic noticed that the steering column was broken (part: rack-and-pinion), and said that it has been this way for awhile. Mechanic showed me exactly what they saw and indeed the column was broken. Mechanic said that he is surprised we have not had an accident due to this issue and that we could have been killed or killed someone else and that it needs to be fixed asap.

The battery was showing a lot of corrosion.it was also leaking battery acid. We took the car to a garage in fl. The mechanic said gm had a real problem with this car as they have put the battery too close to the radiator. The battery becomes exceedingly hot and the battery is damaged.i tried to work with gm on this matter, but they held the warranty of 6 years on the battery and when the car was sold to me the battery was only warrantied for 3 years.because i was not sold the battery. Gm was.i went to another place to get the battery replaced. The repair man there told me if the battery was not taken care of the battery acid that was leaking could cause a fire in my vehicle.i am hoping you will check into this problem. I have corrected the problem in my car, but there are other cars that have thesame problem and could be detrimental to someone else. Thank you for looking into this matter.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I tried to start the car but everything was dead. No warning lights were on. The key would not come out of the ignition. The battery was only two days old and it checked good. I had it towed to the chevy dealer. Thedealer had the car for almost a week ,they said they could not duplicate the problem. This was the third time they have tried to fix it.since the problem wasn't solved i can not trust the car and my wife can not drive it as you never know when it will fail. I have also had four actuators and two cooling fan motors replaced that were supposed to solve my problem. Didn't work! either gm can't fix the problem or won't. I can't tell which. Anyway i am done with gm cars.
While driving with a passenger in the front seat, the passenger airbag would switch off for no reason without the passenger moving. This happened a number of times over about a week. Then on friday october 3rd, 2014 it happened again and this time right after it happened all the gauges dropped including fuel, mph, rpm, etc... So i pulled into a parking lot and before i was able to stop, the computer module in the car died as well as the engine. I ended up hitting a light post in the parking lot while avoiding a pedestrian. The car has since ceased to start at all. Luckily no one was hurt but this car was clearly not safe. I consider myself very lucky.
The transmission go out at any time while you're driving it'll just stopped in the middle of traffic which can cause an accident the company chevrolet new that they put bad transmission in those cars and lights blink on and off. Electrical issue the speedometer and the gas meter in moves by itself when the car is off and when you are driving the car it'll move by itself displaying accurate information and that's very dangerous i was on the highway in the transmission just went out in cars almost ran into me i like to buy that day because of the transmission everybody i know with this car has the same issue something really needs to be done about it before someone dies
A recent problem with the rear window defogger has unfolded a problem with a wiring harness that powers the window. Gm never installed a fuse on the rear window defogger causing the wire to heat up and burn away the slot it sits in on the wire harness. Inspecting my wire harness, the heat from the wire has melted almost entirely through the connector which is very dangerous and likely to cause a fire on the passenger side of the car underneath the carpet and fuse panel.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. Also, the contact mentioned that the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v355000 (electrical system). However, the remedy failed to repair the ignition switch which was malfunctioning. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 34,000.
The gauges on the dashboard fail during driving.the passenger airbags turn on and off during driving.the tire pressure monitoring and fuel gauge warning comes on during driving even though fuel and air are fine. Sometimes at 0mph the gauge will be stuck at prior speed. Gauges fail when passenger airbag turns off. Incidents occur seemingly only when a passenger is present, when passenger airbag is turned on.

My wife was driving on interstate and all of a sudden lights start flashing on dash board saying traction control, engine performance reduced and check engine light comes on. Car completely shuts down on major highway. Gm needs to do something!!!! before someone seriously gets hurt or worse. Went toauto shop and they said it is the accelerator pedal sensor gone bad already at 56,103 ?i just bought the car, and only had it for 1 year. I will never buy anything gm makes orrecommended there vehicles to family or friends this is ridiculous. Someone needs to care about public safety because obviously they do not.pleasedo a recall and save a life !!!!!
My service airbag sensor light had been on since i purchased my car a year ago, i am going to sell it but i didn't want to sell it with something that has to do with safety being questionable. I drove it to auto nation yesterday june 11th to see if it was a recall. They said there hasn't been one. I drove it home and started searching online for possible problems with it and there were so many posts about this issue. I searched under the passenger seat because that's what i read to do and low and behold all types of wires under it are completely severed and torn up. I was going to fix this myself but i really don't want to be held liable in case of accident or injury. This must be fixed and it's my belief that it's caused by the vehicle design. Please hold chevrolet responsible for this repair as it is very dangerous for both the passenger and possibly everyone else in the vehicle. Thank you very much for looking into this. I also believe that when a person calls a dealer telling then exactly what they found d (i called lenlyle on colfax and sable in aurora, co. And explained to then my findings and they told me that i would have to pay for this repair. They should direct a person to you guys when something that has to do with safety is found to be defective. This should be a requirement that they contact you dot as well as offer a repair imediately and consider themselves lucky that someone wasn't killed because a person came to them with the problem instead of trying to do the repair themselves.
The transmission shifter lever is stuck in park and the key is stuck in the ignition switch due to a very poor electrical design. The electrical wires attached to the connector that operates the solenoid that unlocks the transmission shifter button in the park position and that also connects to the ignition switch and operates various functions such as releasing the ignition key and allows the vehicle electrical system to be completely turned off ,breaks off due to electrical wires being too short and the back and forth movement of the shifter . Checking the onlineblogs this is a known issue that has been happening on several gm vehicles for some time without any recalls despite constant customer complaints due to the very poor design.some dealers have suggested leaving the key in the ignition switch and unlocking and locking the vehicle with the key fob. This invites vehicle theft and by not having the electrical system completely turned off, the battery runs down as the accessories and ignition is still turned on and the transmission lights on the instrument panel remains lighted.some customers have had repeat reoccurrences after having the issue repaired at a cost of between $500 and $600.after inspecting the operation of the shifter and the affect it has on the electrical wiring it is obvious that the wiring will fail and in the blogs as early as whilst under warrantee.i am concerned if there are any other issues that may occur especially safety ones as there is 5 wires i do not know the function of each wire .can you please investigate this issue.
My wiring on my passenger seat sensor is faulty! it sometimes detects randomly that someones there, when nobody is there and thus turns the airbags on and off constantly. I have to keep the passenger side seat belt buckled, otherwise it will mess up my sensors. I've had my airbags shut off and a notification appear before so it's quite scary and definitely a safety hazard. I know this is a known recall, but i believe since i have a"police package" a recall for my car was never initiated, even though it has the problem.

The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. While approaching a stop or decelerating at various speeds, the vehicle would stall without warning. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was repaired according to nhtsa campaign number: 14355000 (electrical system); however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 81,800.
While driving at night speed 55 mph all the instrument gauges went to zero nothing was registering at all this happened several times while driving. It happened several times after that for the next 2 months. Then it would not start. Had to tow to dealer.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the gears were difficult to switch when the vehicle started. When the engine warmed, the failure was not experienced. Also, the key was difficult to remove from the ignition at times. The failures recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified.

Had to put a new battery in and then the message light came on to service the air bag....they said a module went out under the drivers seat and under the left front bumper.......it will cost $ 1030 + tax...only 43,000 miles on the car. I cant afford to have it fixed and i'm told that the airbag wont work if i get in an accident till i get it fixed.........would that keep my insurance from paying if i do get in an accident and they see the air bag should have been serviced??
When starting the vehicle the dash lights do not immediately respond. Adjustment to the light/dimmer control do not make the light come on. This will go on for about 30 seconds and then the dash lights will suddenly come on. It is not safe to drive after dark, you cannot see what gear you are in, your speed is not visible, nor any of the other dash lights. It is random and not reproducible for shop to see. This also occurred with our 2007 chevy impala, progressing to finally no dash lights and resulted in $700 repair for faulty wiring in steering column. Should be looked at for root cause and addressed at factory before release. Please, very annoying, expensive, and will cause me to not purchase again.
Twice this week while driving at around 55 mph my traction control and stabilization light came on also the check engine light. And a message that speed is reduced. The car did slow down and felt like my transmission was giving me problems. When i pulled over and stopped the engine the lights went out and the car ran ok it took till the next morning for the check engine light to go out.i took it in for a check up and was told it needed a gas pedal position sensor. I had this replaced at a total cost of $210.00.
While driving down i 80 west of princeton ill the check engine light came on followed by the check traction control light .the dash then light up like a christmas tree with lights i had never seen and can not duplicate with turning the key to on .the car immediately died and i lost power steering and brakes .i got the car stopped safely .i called a mechanic in the town i live in and he asked if it would start again. Earlier when i tried to start itacted as though the battery was dead. This time it started and i drove it home .a local repair shopreplaced the gas pedal .i had bought this car new and it has never been in a crash or had any repairs done besides routine service. No one was hurt but this car should not have shut off at 70 mph because of a defective sensor on a gas pedal.i am a retired state trooper and i am sure my training saved me from being in an accident yesterday because i happened to have other cars and semi s driving near me.
#1every time i move the drivers seat my airbag light comes on saying that the airbag is disabled.#2the car's traction will act like i'm on ice (even on a hot 90 degree july day).the traction light comes on and the engine will gear down, to the degree ofloss of engine power, power steering, and power braking. This has happened several times while driving long distances on the highways i found recalls pending for these problems and my vin # is not on the list.well i'm telling you now this is very dangerous and very scary. Someone is going to get injured or killed!!official nhtsa page concerning recall #16v507000 official nhtsa page concerning recall #14v355000

2010chevrolet impala recall on ignition. The parts were not available.*mw
Key wont turn car off completely, wont come out of ignition, i see where many people have had this same problem with chevy, why no recall? obviously its a problem coming from gm.
When turning on the air, there is a knocking noise on thepassenger side by the glove box. Sounds like the air door actuator. It was the same thing with my 2003 chevy impala. Check on youtube. There more and more problems with this part. Just purchase this vehicle on july 24, 2013 at a dealership.
Engine power reduced...car shuts off in the middle of traffic.
I was taking a right turn with my car and my legbumped my key chain, which in turn caused the ignition to shut off.thankfully i was able to pull over and re-start the car!
"service airbag" light comes on without pushing a code for error.

My impala heating and air condition unit does not work properly and makes clicking noise when i do the following: get in the car, start the car, touch the heating and ac knobs. I was advised by the mechanic that they can't tell me what it would cost but this is a defect in the impala. Said that the clicking is because it's trying to catch back to what ever is displaced and keeps trying. I've time this clicking and it goes on for a whole minute. I have a dual system and it appears the passenger said heats when it wants to,..this had been going on in my car for the last 8 months and i would like to know why the company have not taken responsibility for this defect. I would like for the company to take responsibility and recall and help the owners of the awful sound and embarrassing when others get in your car and hear the madness that you have to try and explain.i don't think this help people wanting to buy the car.thanks
While traveling away from home i parked my car and the key is stuck in the ignition.this is a safety hazard due to i had to leave the keys in the car.the next morning the car would not start due to the battery being drained because the key was not in the off position.therefore i had to be troubled with finding jumper cables while away from home or be towed to the nearest chevrolet dealer (whom i might add did not have a technician that could fix it on a saturday morning).i called another chevrolet dealer in another county close by and their service department is closed on saturday. So therefore i have had to either leave my vehicle running, loosen the battery cables or be close by to another vehicle that can give me a jump. (more inconvenience and safety hazards for a female)i notice while researching the problem online that this problem has occurred on the impala since the year 2000.it is now 2013 and the problem has not been recalled or improved over the years.i feel this not only is an inconvenience to me (your customer) but also is a safety feature that has failed to exceed my expectations of driving a chevrolet vehicle.i expect and hope that my inconvenience can have an impact on chevrolet to not only take care of my problem but correct the situation and recall the problem so other individuals will not experience this turmoil.research also reflected that the cost to me, the owner would be about $600 or more to fix the problem.right now i am still with the key stuck in the ignition. (more inconvenience of being a chevy customer)i suppose i will expect a check in the mail to cover the expenses this has caused to me (your customer).also a ford dealer has stated they can fix the problem.i see something wrong with that picture.bumper to bumper warranty has expired.....thank you for your attention to this inconvenience.
My impala keeps giving me a warning light that say service stabilitrak, service traction control and engine power reduced. It stay on for a little while and then goes off. Cannot seem to find out why it is doing this but very concerned that my cars speed will reduce while i am in traffic.
I was driving and my cars engine light came on 1st then the traction control light. When they came on it reduced power to my engine and quit on the interstate. I had looked up possible causes when i had a test ran it was showing throttle body i replaced it and it never fixed it upon research i have seen multiple people who owns impalas from the years 2009 and up having the same issues and feel it is something that needs to be looked into. What i have found idk yet i am waiting on the piece to see if this is the issue or not is the pedal sensor could be the cause. But i feel it can be unsafe because my car had quit on a busy interstate with cars traveling at the speed of 65mph and higher. Just when i was looking it up i had saw so many other people having the same issues with their impalas. Please look into it thank you .\

After wet wear her stability light message, traction controlcomes on while driving as does engine power reduced message power is reduced and vehicle dies if you do not pull over andturn it off and bck on. This is a very dangerous and expensive problem which gm is aware of and could cause serious injuries if not dealt with.
My air bag light stays on and my abs light stays on and something with the wiring keeps ruining my battery
Two under dash actuators needed to be replaced at 31,060 and 39,914 miles.i believe these parts are faulty and need to be recalled. When i contacted chevrolet, case# [xxx], i was advised that recalls are only initiated by your organization.since this is not a safety issue, this is questionable. Please advise.2010 chevrolet impala,information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The abs light on traction control does not work key comes out of the ingiton causeing the car to stall front passenger air bag is turned off
My car has worked fine scince i bought it with no check engine codes.i pulled into parking space and put car in park,all of a sudden it stalled out and will not crank anymore but has power.key will not come out of ignition and battery will not shut off.the ignition switch is a very common problem with impalas and is very dangerous.it locks people out of there cars,gets stuck in gears,wont let key release,wont start,sets off anti theft signal which cuts power to door locks,trunk,starter,fuelpump,and more.i have read hundreds of forums of this problem with chevy impala that has been going on for years without the problem being fixed.elderly women breaking down on highway or car just shutting off and not restarting.it is soooooo common with chevy that they can diagnose the problem just over the phone.this is very unacceptable and has to be dealt with.please recall this problem.
Makes a ticking sound when open door or just sitting when off. Have had fixed $400 and doing same thing again. Everyone i know who have impaladoing same thing something need to be done .can't keep paying $400 .i love impala but about ready to tell everyone i know not to buy i have 3 impalas. The 2010 want quit ticking and the 2003 lights want stay on. Ready to hit facebook!

Pulled into the gas station to pump gas, after pumping gas, the car would not start.had the car towed to a mechanic who looked at the vehicle and determined the faulty ignition switch is cause other problems with the vehicle.i can not get the other issues corrected unless gm fixes the faulty ignition switch for recall #14299.i have called several dealerships in the area, and none of them have the part needed to fix my car.i purchased this car in 2010, and have had many problem with it since 2011.the fuel pump was changed 2 times and the transmission has been replaced 1 time.i encourage the nhtsa to look into the entire vehicle and not just the faulty ignition switch.gm has failed the consumer in many ways, and i'm very disappointed with my gm car buying experience.i'm a single parent and need my vehicle to run and run safely.

When the incident first occurred, the engine light came on and the dash read "service stabilitrak", "service traction control" and "engine power reduced". It seemed fine when i turned off the car and turned it back on. The next incident didn't happen until a while later, and then it wasn't that bad. A few months later, i was driving back on the highway and the same thing happened, except it said "starting disabled, service throttle" and the car shut off. I pulled over to the side and i was able to restart the car after waiting a few minutes. It was a scary experience. Eventually, leading up to today, my car got worse and worse, and eventually it just started turning off at stoplights with the message "starting disabled, service throttle". It starts with the other messages almost as soon as i turn on the car. The engine revs and the car sounds awful.

My key is stuck in the ignition and will not turn back to the off position so i can get the key out.i have to disconnect my battery to keep the battery from draining completely when not in use and reconnect my battery when i need to drive my car,and i cannot lock my car because of this.i feel this is a safety issue because i could get injured while connecting or disconnecting my battery and i cannot secure my car.the passenger air bag indicator is on.it was not on when i purchased this used car but it came on at approximately 70,000 miles.my rear defroster barely works.the speedometer sticks at zero then starts working for a few tenths of a mile then goes back to zero again.

My wife and i were traveling north on pa route 15. We were on speed control at 55 mph. An error signal appeared on the dash board saying service trakcontrola few secondslater a signal said--- losing engine power.i was able to get to a somewhat narrow shoulder in a few seconds before the engine died. I could not start the car. A called aaa and after 45 minutes was towed to a garage in dillsburg.just before the tow truck arrived i was able to start the car.the mechanic tried to determine the cause and could not. I decided to drive on to my destination in. Nj the error signals appeared once more but i was able to pull into a service station and sit.i restarted car and drove to my destination. The next day i went to "rt 46 chevrolet"in nj three days latera new accelerator pedal was installed and i was able to drive to my home in ny state.. It was very scary to lose power on a hwy at 55 mph and i wonder about trusting the car!!!!!
Loose ignition key.

When i sit in the drivers seat, the service air bag warning pops up. I have to raise my seat and then lower it in order to get the warning light to go off.
Sometimes when driving an "engine reduced" warning will pop up and when it does so, the car limits the amount of power applied when accelerating. I have to turn it off and sit a few minutes before it goes back to normal.
On 8/15/14 we came out to the vehicle and it would not start.no power at all and the key would not come out of it.left the vehicle sit overnight and same thing in the morning on 8/16/14.we called and got a jump from a tow truck and drove the vehicle home.while traveling home on the interstate (70 mph), my husband noticed that when he turned the driving lights on the vehicle shut off.(luckily he knew what to do and managed to not kill all of us in the vehicle and anyone around the vehicle; (2 adults and 2 children in vehicle;) he also noticed that when hesignaled a lane switch the cruise control would turn itself off.we got the vehicle back to our house, waited 15 minutes and tried restarting and the battery was completely dead again.(no dome light, bells or anything when opening the door).since then, he has tried putting a different battery in it and we get the same results.when we got home we did a google search and found several others that this same thing has happened too.luckily no one has been killed from it but it is extremely scary when your vehicle turns off doing 70 mph.i would also like to inform you that there was no warning whatsoever that the battery was low or there were any electrical complications going on with the vehicle.there is no voltage meter anywhere on the vehicle.no warning lights came on either.
At first it was when backing up and turning sharp.the traction control message would come on and a grinding like sound from the front driver wheel area.later it included the abs warning and would also occur after backing with turn and going forward at that moment.now randomly when pulling out and the service air bag light comes on.recently also the oil pressure low message and dummy light come on 3-4 times before stopping (and yes the oil pressure is good with correct oil, tires, pressure, brakes, sensors all check good).best guess diagnostics is shorting in wiring harness that can not be located until it fails completely. However with grabbing with traction control when pulling out and air bag problems it is obvious this is a safety hazard.

I received a safety recall from gm in august of 2014 for my ignition on a recall that had been out since july. They are going to fix the vehicle but the parts are not available.this is now the middle of september the parts still are not in and it will probably be the first part of october before they arrive according to gm.how can you recall a car for a safety issue and not have the parts to repair the car?apparently this is a serious issue or my notice would not say the key ring is carrying adds weight and the vehicle goes off road or experiences some jarring event, it may unintentionally move the key away from the "run" position.if this occurs, engine power, power steering and power braking will be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.if the ignition switch is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury or fatality.gm is already had numerous problems and this is only increasing the risk of more.what can be done about this issue?

Vehicle will not start. All electrical things work, the lights, dashboard, etc.. But there is no power to starter. This vehicle has 150000 miles on it and has had 6 new batteries installed. The no start issue was believed to be occurring after car was brought through car wash during very cold temps outside, but this is not the issue now. Now it starts sometimes and will not start at other times.
Every other week or so i get the "engine power reduced/ service stabiltrack/ service traction control" and the car will loose power. After an hour or so of sitting with the car off, it resets and the check engine light stays on until that eventually also resets. Today i was driving the same trouble codes came on and the car completely lost power i had no ability to accelerate, the power steering was disengaged it also mentioned something about the throttle body this time. Luckily i pulled into a nearby parking lot and the car reset after sitting for about an hour. This warning light and the reduced engine power has been an ongoing issue but i never lost complete power to the engine and steering light until today. This is an unacceptable issue that is ongoing with many gm owners. There needs to be a recall immediately!
Car just stopped running we were able to coast to a stop on a 6 lane hwy going around st paul. I have written on here before telling of what happened.and how chevrolet said its not a problem with your car. So i called back today andsaid i see its your problem now,so what do i do they say we have no fix yet, but take it in and let them see whats wrong. First its out of warrt. So i ll be paying for something i am sure ! second why recall if you cant fix it ???? scare you into buying a new one . Someone must have put some heat on them i was thinking it was yougood job now get them to fix it'.
I have a 2010 chevy impala lt with 90k+ miles on it. I originally bought the car in 2011 used with 40k+ miles on it, so the car is no longer covered through warranty. Engine power reduced, service stabilitrac, etc.i'm a full time college student, and a full time uber driver. Last night i was with a passenger on [xxx] towards o'hare airport. My car reduced speed and suddenly dropped speed from 70mph down to 50mph. As i turned on the emergency light and start steering to the right to get onto the shoulder i was in the third lane to the right (the expressway is 4 lanes) as i was turning to the right to get onto the shoulder and to get to safety my steering locks, and there was a reckless driver going 100mph trying to cut off traffic. The lanes to the left were blocked so he had to cut me off by overtaking me by going onto the shoulder. He damaged his right rearview mirror and probably scrapped the right side of his car pulling off that reckless stunt. Had i delayed the breaking for a second i wouldn't be alive making this post today. Luckily i turned the car off, waited for a few minutes, turned the car back on and took the nearby [xxx], and waited with my passenger at the nearby target parking lot for the next uber driver to pick up my passenger and get her safely to the airport. Had i not acted quickly, my uber passenger would have missed her flight.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Loss of power, service stabilitrac, service traction control started flashing...the car lost all power, shifted extremely hard and would only go about 5 to 10 miles per hour.i was on a main road with a lot of traffic when this happened, extremely dangerous situation.i took the vehicle to the gm dealer the first day, they could not find the code and the car ran fine on my way home from work.the next morning it did it again, took it back to the dealer and they had to replace the throttle body which costs almost $700.that was in february, i am now 400 miles from home and it is doing the exact same thing again....going to call a dealer today and hopefully it will be taken care of at no cost.i called gm about this issue and their response was that there is no recall on this vin# at this time, yet i know there are recalls out due to the throttle body.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the service air bag warning light illuminated.

My wife was driving on a four lane in mn when the car just quit,as luck would have it there was a off ramp and we coasted up to the top. We didn't know what happened so we never reported it,and it started right back up. Wasn't till today my wife saw where gm had a problem sounding like happened to us. So i went on line with gm the girl said take it to a dealer ,its out of warranty so i ll have to pay grrrrrrrrr i said its not my trouble why should i have to pay for something that is your fault. She didn't care,no big surprise ! i told her that i printed out what she aid so if something happens to my wife or me i have proof i told them of my trouble. Thought you would just like to know so if anyone else should report the problem they are not alone.
The diagnostic revealed that there are 11 codes in the vehicle system. These codes ranged from passkey system failures to evap codes to transmission. Suspected failure of wiring harness altogether with possible bcm/cam failure as well. During battery test there was a regular drop in voltage while connected to the scanner reflecting a drain in the electrical system that could further be causing an issue. Codes are p0513 , p0523 , p0700 , p2122 , p0411, p0449 ,p0455. When driving stabilitrack, engine power reduced,and stabilitrack traction control. Sometimes the car shuts off while driving and the steering wheel will lock , i'd w ok old have to pull over on the side of the highway or street and pop the hood just to get the car started again.
The rear defroster stopped working.after investigating the issue i discover the electricalharness connectors holding the wiring for the rear defroster(and all other wires) is burnt., the electrical connectors are harnesses for wiring leading form the engine area, to the rear of the vehicle for all electrical components, including the rear defroster.visibly you can see the area that is burnt for the rear defroster.the wiring for the rear defroster is not fused, and in my opinion is a fire hazard.while doing research on this issue i discover that other owners have had these issues, and is very prominent in impala's between 2006 and up.with out a fuse for the rear defroster there is no safety mechanism preventing a short, or burn out of the components, thus creating the potential for a fire inside the compartment of the vehicle, and the rear defrost not to work.
My ignition key locks at times.i am sure to park straight without turned wheels or cramped.i finally can start the car by twisting the steering wheel and it then locks and finally the key connects.i was told that may be a tumbler problem?just a worry as i am 82 and always on my mind when i travel.one time it did just die as i was driving.happen to be in city where i was able to coast into parking lot.it started up and did fine then.that was scarey!
The vehicle was in motion about 45 miles an hr when it began to suddenly lose speed once it stopped i was able to coast it to the light. I cut the car off an it started back up. I didn't understand why it did that so i proceeded to find a near gas station.. It started to run again and i proceeded to go home when it did it again (lost speed while the engine was running) still don't know what the problem is had the alternator and battery checked and both are fine.. This was very dangerous!

Purchased by chevy 2010 impala on january 25th of this year and just last night (march 18th around 715pm) on my way home from work just as i was speeding up after getting on the 405 in wa. My check engine light came on, the service stabilitytrac came on, check engine light and there was this other light what looked like to be a picture of the car swerving on ice also came on. My car slowed down, but never cut off. My get up on my car wasn't what it normally it. I was able to make it home from work, but i thought it was weird that my car started to do that.i purchased this car with only a little over 40k miles on it. I checked the owners manual and there is nothing in there about a "service stabilitytrac". I immediately send 2 emails to the gentleman that i work with at the local dealership that i got my car from. It was after hours when i sent the emails, so i have yet to get a response.this morning though, my check engine light was the only thing that came one this morning. I went ahead and drove into work which is about 25miles away from my home and the check engine light stayed on, but yet the other 2 didn't ever come on and there was no problem with accelerating.this is my first ever newer car and i love love love impala's, but i have been reading all the other posts and it concerns me because i'm not rich nor do i have the money or time to fix a problem that wasn't created by me. It's very disappointing to know that with all these postings that gm hasn't stepped in and fixed this problem nor come up with a proactive solution for their customers.

My 2010 chevrolet impala ignition key is stuck in the ignition, i did get the key fixed under the nhtsa campaign number 14v355000 from a qualified chevrolet repair center. From what i understand, this has become an ever increasing problem. This needs to be a recall. I will be contacting gm corp. Along with the nhtsa and will follow up with the information or (excuses) of why this is somehow my problem. This car has only 40,000 miles.it's funny how gm is not simply replacing all ignitions with new keys. This is dangerous and i for one will not let this rest until i'm satisfied, my wife drives this car and unlike gm corp. Safety is my number one concern.i'm not a mechanic but i do all general maintenance on our cars and this pisses me off. If noise needs to be made to resolve this, then noise you will hear. The nhtsa needs to put gm's ass in check and call them out on this ignition-electrical issue once and for all. This happened 12/16/2015.
After parking the vehicle, i am unable to remove the key or turn the vehicle off so i cannot remove the key from the ignition. I found out that the wiring harness in the shifter had become worn and needed to be replaced. I replaced the harness and again not 1 year later i am having the same problem. I sent chevy an email and i am waiting for a reply.
Loud ticking sound coming from passenger side vent.i have checked with other owners of chevys who have the same problems going back about 6 yrs+- with impalas and malibu's. There are 3 motors on the passenger side that go bad, when one is fixed then and other two go bad shortly after.the cost range is about $600.00. I have been on the phone with gm and the dealer with no satisfaction.

This problem tends to only happen when the car is in motion trying to turn left or right and simply just trying to accelerate from a stop light or stop sign. It is very hard to describe what actually happens but it's like the car has a huge hiccup and it sounds like something is loose underneath. I have to lightly touch the gas pedal to try and avoid this happening. I get the warning light-service stabilitrack and traction control. I get scared at times trying to make turns because when the hiccupping happens, it delays the car for seconds and i try to press on the gas but it won't get up to speed. Needless to say, if it's possible, i try and wait for a good distance between me crossing and the cars coming.
The diagnostic revealed that there are 11 codes in the vehicle system. These codes ranged from passkey system failures to evap codes to transmission. Suspected failure of wiring harness altogether with possible bcm/cam failure as well. During battery test there was a regular drop in voltage while connected to the scanner reflecting a drain in the electrical system that could further be causing an issue. Codes are p0513 , p0523 , p0700 , p2122 , p0411, p0449 ,p0455. When driving stabilitrack, engine power reduced,and stabilitrack traction control. Sometimes the car shuts off while driving and the steering wheel will lock , i'd w ok old have to pull over on the side of the highway or street and pop the hood just to get the car started again.

After wet wear her stability light message, traction controlcomes on while driving as does engine power reduced message power is reduced and vehicle dies if you do not pull over andturn it off and bck on. This is a very dangerous and expensive problem which gm is aware of and could cause serious injuries if not dealt with.
Anti locking brake light coming on, service traction control, service stabiltrac ,service electronic stability control. Had all checked, said it was a right drive wheel bearing, replaced the wheel bearing. Still have the same problem.
In april 2011, i was driving on expressway and the check engine light came on and warning read reduce engine power, service traction control, service stabilitrac and then engine cut off and i coasted to shoulder of hwy. The car finally started back up after a few minutes. I had to buy $100 accelerator pedal position sensor. Now on june 28, 2013, only 2 years later, it is doing the same thing again so i have to buy another one. The warranty on it only lasted 12 months. I bought this car in october 2010 and this problem started in april 2011.this car is just 3 years old and from reading on the web, there are alot of chevrolets having this problem. I'm reading about model years from 2007 with this same issue. Gm should have addressed this problem by now. I need help with this issue!!!!
I have 2010 impala it keeps giving me the dashboard message eng power reduced service stupbilty traction control off when it dose this the car will only go 40 mph witch is dangerous on freeway going 75 mph with other traffic
Started driving car wouldn't go over 5 mph. Engine shakes violently. Display reads reduced engine power. Traction control warning.
Vehicle was being driven and then the service traction control light came on and immediately the vehicle lost power steering and the whole instrument panel appeared to shut down. The engine was still running however i was unable to accelerate. After getting the vehicle to a stop i turned the car off and then tried restarting it. It would start but then immediately the engine would die.
When i brought the car is started burning alot of gas . I didn't know the car have been recall by the dealership gm corp. Until after a few months like nov 10, 2014. When the local dealership bmg sold me the car ,, they didn't tell me of any defect regarding this car. It had to be balance and aligned all the time with tire,tire wheeler part broken , steering wheel won't turn before cracking the car. Elec wiring needed fixing to stop the tricking in the dash board of the car. Air bags deployed and when turning the stirring wheel a loud crack in front of the car of wheel.
Front wheel locking up while making a turn. Car dash warning lights are flashing.
I was driving on a rural road at 55 miles per hour in my 2010 impala and it was just a normal activity no excessive turning or driving . My light came on and said to service traction control. Then my light said engine power has been reduced. I was trying to get to a safe place to pull off the road an my light came on again and it said it was disengaging the throttle and my car just quit. No power steering no warning just quit and i barely got it off the road in time to keep me from crashing!the car wouldn't start for about ten minutes but finally i got it started and made it home. If i had been on the interstate this could have been tragic !
Traction control light and engine reduce speed light came on and car started stutter and slow down on the highway. Replace throttle body twice and replace gas pedal sensor.
I have had my 2010 chevrolet impala ls for about one year now. Problem started happening 6 months after i bought it. While driving at high-speed's in any kind of weather two lights pop up, the check engine light and the stability track light. I also get three display messages, service stabiltrack, service traction control and engine power is reduced. Half of the times that this occurs my car literally shuts off while driving and a different message is displayed stating engine power is shutting down. I lose all control of vehicle, power steering, gas etc. This only happens when going high speeds, which is even more dangerous. I turn the car off. If i immediately try to turn it back on it does nothing.i must wait a minute or 2 before it will turn over. At this point usually all display and lights are off, except the check engine light. Which eventually does go away.this is a very dangerous situation and needs to be fixed asap!!!
I have a 2010 chevy impala lt with 90k+ miles on it. I originally bought the car in 2011 used with 40k+ miles on it, so the car is no longer covered through warranty. Engine power reduced, service stabilitrac, etc.i'm a full time college student, and a full time uber driver. Last night i was with a passenger on [xxx] towards o'hare airport. My car reduced speed and suddenly dropped speed from 70mph down to 50mph. As i turned on the emergency light and start steering to the right to get onto the shoulder i was in the third lane to the right (the expressway is 4 lanes) as i was turning to the right to get onto the shoulder and to get to safety my steering locks, and there was a reckless driver going 100mph trying to cut off traffic. The lanes to the left were blocked so he had to cut me off by overtaking me by going onto the shoulder. He damaged his right rearview mirror and probably scrapped the right side of his car pulling off that reckless stunt. Had i delayed the breaking for a second i wouldn't be alive making this post today. Luckily i turned the car off, waited for a few minutes, turned the car back on and took the nearby [xxx], and waited with my passenger at the nearby target parking lot for the next uber driver to pick up my passenger and get her safely to the airport. Had i not acted quickly, my uber passenger would have missed her flight.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
1.2011was driving in waco, tx, as i made a left turn the electronic stability control indicator light came on, within sec the car stopped.coasted to side of the road, after 5 min was able to restart car.drove approx 2 mi, made 2 left turns,1 right turn.when i made the right turn, the car engine came to a stop.in 10 or 15 min was able to restart car and drove approx 2 mi to allen samuels chev dealer in waco.they kept the car a few days, they drove it numerous times trying to replicate the engine stoppage.they could not replicate the stoppage, but during trouble shooting, found a cable connector loose on the transmission andreplaced that.they felt this was the problem.2.sep 5, 2014. Was on entrance ramp to interstate, was accelerating to enter traffic, the car engine began to stutter/stall, was able to turn into an exit ramp lane, the esc indicator light came on briefly, then the warning message came on that the engine was reducing power, within seconds the car engine stopped.was able to coast to a stop.i waited approx 5 min, was able to restart engine.the engine light came on, but i was able to drive home on secondary roads. (approx 25 mi).i was afraid to drive the car to waco, called a wrecker and had it towed to allen samuels chev in waco, tx. 3.request and recommend:[xxx]this web site shows multiple safety problems with chevys of different years and shows that life and death injuries will occur when the car completely stops without adequate warning.4.when the car is returned to me, i plan on keeping the esc off until issue is resolved.i feel strongly this is a defect in the car, had this incident on sep 5th happened a couple of min later after i had entered interstate traffic, there could have been serious injury to me and to others.

Takata recall hello i have a chevy impala 2010 as i was driving on the highway when all of a sudden my i got the engine power is reduced,service traction control and service stabilitrak and the car keep on yanking and the stearing wheel got hard and i was scared , when i turn my car off the check engine goes away but then when im going to use my car again and im driving on the street the car deaccelerates and starts yanking and i get the same messages engine power is reduced.
Reduced engine power, stabilitrac and traction control messages. While driving 2010 impala .comes on without warning car loses power down to 20 mph i was driving 55 mph on highway pulled over shut car off waited few minutes car restarted then not 5 minutes later did same thing only this time engine shut off was able to coast off road thank goodness called gm they told me it was out of warranty but was under special conditions .take it to gm dealerso few days later got in it to take to dealer ,no lights on drove fine .dealer told me to bring it back if and when warning lights came on again wow! read this same issue on forums gm should have a recall on this very dangerous issue .called gm back after getting home they more less told me yes it should have been a recall but it isn't so have good day the cost is on you
At first it was when backing up and turning sharp.the traction control message would come on and a grinding like sound from the front driver wheel area.later it included the abs warning and would also occur after backing with turn and going forward at that moment.now randomly when pulling out and the service air bag light comes on.recently also the oil pressure low message and dummy light come on 3-4 times before stopping (and yes the oil pressure is good with correct oil, tires, pressure, brakes, sensors all check good).best guess diagnostics is shorting in wiring harness that can not be located until it fails completely. However with grabbing with traction control when pulling out and air bag problems it is obvious this is a safety hazard.
When driving the traction control and stabilizer light comes; then the enginereduced power light car will just cut off in the middle of the street .this has been going on for over a year.
Intermittent abs, traction control, stabilitrak issues have been happening for the last few years.it startyed at about 80k miles.i have replaced the wheel hub twice due to a loose bearing.this significantly reduced the problem the first time, but has not resolved the issue the second time.it tends to happen when the vehicle is jarred (such as hitting a pot hold on a dirt road) or when turning hard to the right while accelerating.if it happens a few times within a short time, then the system will abs, stabilitrak, and traction control systems shut down.it
Driving uphill & the service stabiltrak & the serice traction control words came on followedby reduce of engine power & the service engine light & traction control light came on. We could still drive at about 20 mph uphill & 45-50 on flat roads. We shut the car off 4 about 2 hrs 2 cool down. But then as soon as we headed up a hill it started all over.
Good morning i just would like to say this is my second vehicle from chevy but this vehicle has really placed me in a bad bind. First the airbag light comes on and off for the passed month, next the key becomes stuck in the ignition then it went out had to replace that. Traction control light comes on comes over board with message saying," engine power is reduced then message states car shutting down " in the middle of driving . This last time i had my new born grandbaby in the car driving on expressway going 60speed limit car just shut offcars flying pass me i was really terrified for my safety and my grand child. This has occurred off and on since last year. Last year i had taken it back to all star chevy in miss.they stated they couldn't find anything cost me a good penny when they stated that the warranty was out. Now the car will not start. I have been replacing alot of electrical issues with this car for the last year but this time is the last time my grand baby and myself could have lost our life"now no car to get back and forth to work i have been really patient with chevy with this car i still have all my receipts from aaa fixing this car i refused to spend any more money on this car. I need toknow if this company will help me because a 2010 should not havethis much problem.
The vehicle service stability track light comes on without reason all the time.the car reduces speed and stall when i stop.the vehicle also loses speed and shut down.i just purchased the car and cannot afford to have it repaired.
Lately as i am driving a message pops up on the dash. It says service traction control, service stabilitrak and service brake assist. Also the abs light is on and the no traction light is on. The reason i am reporting this is because i am hearing people who have the same model but different year say they are the same problem.
I was driving home from work and i was doing 55 mph,and the car started to hesitate,and the dashboard info read stabilitrac, engine safty mod, and reduced power. Then the car started to slow down,and when i tried to give it some gas the engine started to knock,and the temperature gauge went all the way up to the top. I pulled over and shut the car off,and opened the hood, and it wasn't even over heating.after letting it sit for a few minutes i started it up and went about five hundred feet and it did it again.
I have had 3 special coverage orders letters in the pass year on my car. !. Stabilitrak light tc. 2.harnessthrottle body. 3. Ignition key.i'm also having problem with my suspension .and power steering.i call gm and have taken my car in for by gm require and the services repair men said they couldn't find no codes on their scann.
Service stabilitrak indicator showed up and the vehicle does not run properly (engine seemed to want to stall, loss of power, rough idleing, transmission 'kicking'. This problem should be repaired by the dealership and not the consumer since the costs of repair are (can be) extremely high. Manufacturer should ensure the parts they use for stability and safety will last for the life of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the check engine and stability control warning lights illuminated. The contact mentioned that the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The contact would have to restart the vehicle in order for it to resume normal operation. In addition, the air bag warning light would illuminate sporadically. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000. Updated 3/12/15updated 03/26/15.
The abs light on traction control does not work key comes out of the ingiton causeing the car to stall front passenger air bag is turned off
My chevy impala when in motion has signals for service stabilitrac, the check engine comes on and the a message that says reduced engine power shows up. It seems like alot of impala owners are experiencing this and something should be done! the stabilitack goes off and the check engine ligts stays on but usually goes off, and then a few days later it will happen again.
Message says "service stabilitrak" engine powering down".has happened while driving and when first starting.many gm customers have experienced same issue across several years and makes including the traverse.
My wife was driving on interstate and all of a sudden lights start flashing on dash board saying traction control, engine performance reduced and check engine light comes on. Car completely shuts down on major highway. Gm needs to do something!!!! before someone seriously gets hurt or worse. Went toauto shop and they said it is the accelerator pedal sensor gone bad already at 56,103 ?i just bought the car, and only had it for 1 year. I will never buy anything gm makes orrecommended there vehicles to family or friends this is ridiculous. Someone needs to care about public safety because obviously they do not.pleasedo a recall and save a life !!!!!
Stabilitrac light on with reduced engine power - tested and found code b 2138 replaced shorted gas pedal assembly.on april 9, 2010 the same problem occurred.the dealership charged me $463 for the first repair and now they are saying i must pay another $500 for a sensor.this is a major safety issue and a faulty system that should be under warranty and/or under gmac recall.
My stability control light came on when i steered to the left. Steering was difficult in the vehicle and the steering wheel/ car shook at low speeds. Dealer was informed of steering noise after purchase of vehicle. Dealer did not recognize any issue. Rack and pinion was replaced at 50,000 by mechanic. Rack and pinion snapped at 90,000 leaving no steering ability in vehicle. Dealer and gm informed as this is a serious safety issue.
Starting in dec 2014 while driving at random speeds, the 2010 chevy impala will jerk hard and then the traction control light will come on. Upon this happening, the reduce engine speed appears in the display as well as service traction control, and service stability. This has been happening with various speeds and various weather conditions. If you pull over and turn car off for about 5 minutes, it will start right back up and engine reduced will no longer be on the display.
It had snowed overnight and i was driving 60 miles per hour going downhill when the traction control light and the engine light came on and then where the odometer reading is it said engine power reduced and then check traction control and check stabilizer.i did make it to work as the car shock as the car felt like it was going to die.i did let it sit all day while i was at work and then when i started it the engine light was still on and it ran ok.i took it across the street and parked it at the chevrolet dealership and since it is sunday they are not open and i will stop by in the morning to let them know what is wrong to have them check it out.we have had this car for a year and considering not owning another chevy.
My car started giving me an error code of service stabilitrac, service brake assist, and my traction and abs light comes on like a year ago. I have had control arms replaced, cv axles, hubs, etc. I have basicallyreplaced the entire front suspension trying to rid this problem but to no avail it's still giving me this warning. It's causing my car to slip when i turn corners or try to accelerate. It's causing pulling and loss of speed in the engine . This problem is costing me alot of money as well as frustration. Please look into this matter urgently thank you
My car suddenly lost power while driving, no warning. Engine light came on that says "service stabilitrak". I was able to pull over safely and after a few moments i could drive again. I previously owned a 2009 impala and this same thing happened! it would have cost $1900 to fix which is why i just decided to upgrade and by another. This appears to be a common problem with this type of vehicle.
While driving on the highway and accelerating to merge, the car felt as if it dropped a gear or two and the power was noticeably reduced.the service light on the dash came on and the error message "service stabilitytrac- service traction control" came across the dash. Now the car when it accelerates "jerks" as if it's having trouble making it to the next gear when moving between 20-30mph on the speedometer. The power in accelerating after 30mph is dramatically reduced the faster you wish to go.
Traction control, stabiltrak system engine light comes on reduced engine power, this has happen a lot over the couple months.
I own a 2010 chevrolet impala. I started my car and it was sputtering and knocking which it has never done before. The message on my computer display read " reduced engine power " and " service traction control"i turned it off and let it sitfor a moment and then upon restarting everything was back to normal.i have notice that same message prior to today but only briefly but until today had not experienced the sputtering and knocking. Through research i see that this is a common problem and a dangerous one to have while driving. It sounds like a much needed recall is in order before someone ends up seriously injured or possibly dead.
I have a low mileage vehicle. I have remained current on all of my routine maintenance. The car recently had the warnings: service traction control and engine power is reduced. I have looked on multiple outlets and saw that this is a common problem with this vehicle. The solution that the dealer gives is varied and coincidentally not covered under warranty.
Driving about half mile from home, suddenly service engine light, service traction control and reduce engine power message turn on.car start to lose power.after driving another 2 miles, went to a parking lot.engine began rough.park the car and went shopping.about 1 hr. Later the car start fine and running normal, except the check engine light still on . Park car in garage.next day,start the car,check engine light, service traction control & reduce engine power message turn on.back in/out garage and turn engine on/off 3 times. Engine is very rough. Back to garage.next day.start the car, engine ran normal with check engine light turn on.drove the car around a circle and back to garage. Runs fine.got into internet an found about a lot of complains(100s) on this car (2010 & earlier chevy impala) for the same problem, with report of dangerous incidence on the highway.i am afraid to use it again until it is fixed. I hopea recall should be made for the defect.this car is in garage, and is seldom use because i have 3 cars, and i am retired.
Car began showing stabilitrak service, traction control service, reduced engine power and shut off while driving on interstate 35, almost causing a major traffic accident , pulled to side of interstate comm center says ingnition disabledcar wont do anything when key was turned . I then sat approximatley 5 mins car starts with no codes but check engine light . I cannot have this happening means i drive 40 miles to wrk a day and cant afford to throw parts at the problem as all gm service centers hsve been with no solution
The check engine light came in, then the stabilitrak light came on, then engine power reduced car stopped in the middle of traffic, could have been fatal. Waited car powered back on. A known issue in this model.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate and jerked forward as the electronic stability control and abs warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician informed that the vehicle was functioning as designed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
The car experienced a reduction in power and the engine began making a "knocking" noise.the check engine light came on as well as a "reduced engine power, service traction control" alert.
The vehicle was in motion about 45 miles an hr when it began to suddenly lose speed once it stopped i was able to coast it to the light. I cut the car off an it started back up. I didn't understand why it did that so i proceeded to find a near gas station.. It started to run again and i proceeded to go home when it did it again (lost speed while the engine was running) still don't know what the problem is had the alternator and battery checked and both are fine.. This was very dangerous!
My wife and i were traveling north on pa route 15. We were on speed control at 55 mph. An error signal appeared on the dash board saying service trakcontrola few secondslater a signal said--- losing engine power.i was able to get to a somewhat narrow shoulder in a few seconds before the engine died. I could not start the car. A called aaa and after 45 minutes was towed to a garage in dillsburg.just before the tow truck arrived i was able to start the car.the mechanic tried to determine the cause and could not. I decided to drive on to my destination in. Nj the error signals appeared once more but i was able to pull into a service station and sit.i restarted car and drove to my destination. The next day i went to "rt 46 chevrolet"in nj three days latera new accelerator pedal was installed and i was able to drive to my home in ny state.. It was very scary to lose power on a hwy at 55 mph and i wonder about trusting the car!!!!!
This has been happening at least once a week for the last 2 months.i go to start my car in the morning and it has the check engine light on and traction control light andis giving me messages of engine power is reduced, service traction control, service stabilitrak.the car still drives when this is on, but its really doggie, and shifts hard.
While driving,reduce power in engine.check stability trac,and lost acceleration.the car shut off in the middle of the freeway.restared after a 10 minute wait.check engine light was on, but now off.happen from time to time.
Car reads stabilizing track and car begins to shake and has cut off. On going problem. In motion while driving. On highway or street.
When turning left the vehicle makes a grinding noise and the warning light to service stabilitrak, service traction control, and service abs come on. This is more noticeable at low speeds or when turning from a stopped position. The vehicle also shakes when accelerating or maintaining any sleek greater than 25mph. The shake is most noticeable between 45-60mph, and becomes less noticeable between 61-70mph.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. The contact stated that the electronic stability control warning light illuminated as the vehicle lost power and then stalled. In addition, the power steering assist failed. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the traction control system was replaced. The contact stated that the problem recurred after three weeks. The failure mileage was 37,000 and the current mileage was 38,000.
Driving home one night after just having my vehicle repaired a few weeks earlier, without warning, my vehicle began to stall. Just before the stall it was driving completely normal with no issues at all. Suddenly the check engine light came on along with the messages of service stabiltrack, traction control disabled, and low engine power. When i took the vehicle to the dealer i bought it from i was told that there was an aftermarket senondary air check valve that was causing the issue. With this they gave me the following codes; p0068, p0340, p0651, and p2135. Due to me just recently getting this part replaced this past february i took it back to the mechanic that replaced it. When i received the vehicle back it would no longer even start. The mechanic then informed me that the air valve would not cause this issue and there was something else wrong with the vehicle and to take it to another dealer. When that was done i was told a second time that it was the air valve. I have now come out of pocket twice for tows that i can't afford. Along with paying for an expensive part possibly twice. Vehicle only has 50k miles on it and has never given me any issues until this year.
Engine power reduced...car shuts off in the middle of traffic.
Driving on highway when check engine light came on followed by alternating "service stabilitrak" "service traction control" "reduced engine power" messages.additionally, while driving the transmission began to shift hard from first to second.by the time i got home and parked in the garage (approximately 3 miles from start of incident), the vehicle was making a loud clanging noise.vehicle delivered to kool chevrolet in grand rapids michigan on 11/4/14.they have had the vehicle since.the only thing they have found is that the computer indicates the codes went off while the car was parked.otherwise, they cannot duplicate problem.i am worried about driving the vehicle and this incident happening again.i do a lot of highway driving and the sudden reduction in speed is a hazard and could lead to an accident.
As i was driving on a state route, alerts appeared for "service traction control" and then "service stabilitrak" followed by "engine power reduced". The engine light also came on. I pulled over and shut the car off, waiting a few minutes before restarting. The messages stopped, but the engine light was still on. I drove a few more miles and approached the on-ramp to the interstate. As i accelerated to merge onto the interstate, the same alerts came back on in addition to "starting disabled, service throttle". Shortly thereafter, my car became completely disabled and shut down as i was on the interstate- the engine cut off, no power steering, no acceleration!! thankfully, i was able to safely pull off the side of the interstate. I had the vehicle towed and the car started right up and seems to run fine at the repair shop. Worried when and where it will happen again.
I don't remember the exact date, but approximately 2 yrs ago, i began seeing the sequence of messages, "service traction control, service stabilitrak, engine power reduced," and the engine light comes on along with the traction control system light. The car speed was obviously reduced and i couldn't really accelerate.i took the car back to carmax and they said they couldn't find anything and did not know what i was talking about.it happens sporadically, but seemingly always on the interstate while i'm traveling around 65--70 mph.this is very dangerous, and i've been trying to research what needs to be fixed.i do not understand why this is not a recall item.i think this will be the last chevy i purchase!
While driving and the car shuts down, when it finally starts the engine light came on, the passenger seat comes on and no one is sitting there. Ive had it checked out something about an air mass flow sensor, then the light came on about traction
When i first purchase my car from a used car dealer which is smart auto dealer, 2 weeks later my vehicle will start to have issues while my vehicle is in motion on the service streets. Whenever i am making a left turn my alert alarm will light up on dash statingservice brake assist , service stabilitrak , service traction control and abs light, this will go on & off, but now it stays on constantly. While turning left, there will be a grinding noise, car tends to reduce its power, like its hard for me to take off and my vehicle will kick so hard, like something is locking. Also another issue is while parked on a slanted carport, my vehicle will not go into reverse gear. I feel like my vehicle is going to break because, i have to force it to get into reverse gear, that the vehicle will make the loudest noise, like my axleis going to break on me. According to the dealers service department its not showing up on there diagnostic as any issues. Can someone please tell me if there is a recall on my vehicle? there was a known recall, but my vin# is not showing up. Dealers are trying to cheat me
Pecking sound starts when door is open and get faster when car is started but quitsshortly after. Will start pecking sometimes when its just setting not in use.
Riding along at 70 mph traction control light and check engine light comes on. Computer says engine speed is reduced. Drove two more miles to pull over safely but car cut off and computer says engine start is disabled and car would not restart until i unhooked battery. Not real fun with rush hour in st. Lewis.glad i was not [xxx]ended.
Reduced engine power lights came, on traction control light came, on it was hard to accelerate in the middle of a highway, car almost shut down, but i made it home. It has happened twice on the highway and turnpike. I thought it was oil but that wasn't the issue. It stops (the problems) after i shut the car off for an evening, but i'm scared it will power down while on the highway again. When this issue happens the car beeps, then the traction light comes on with warning and so does the engine light and reduced engine power warning. Always in motion, especially higher speeds than normal city streets. Such as turnpike and highway.
While driving at 30 mph the trak stabilization light came on with a warning that engine power was reduced.i stopped the car and shut off for about 5 minutes.when i restarted the car, the warnings came back on again.i was able to make it to my destination safely.when i got back in the car approximately 6 hours later, the car started fine with the only warning being the check engine light.i drove home and called my local repair to look at it.the next day when i started it there were no warning lights at all and my local dealer check the sensors and could not find anything wrong.this happened again about 30 days later and has continued to happen 4 times since then.each time after 2-5 hours the car seems fine except for check engine light which goes out the next day.
I have had my 2010 chevrolet impala ls for about one year now. It currently has 164,000 miles. The following problem started happening about 6 months after i bought it, during the winter months. While driving at any speed in any kind of weather (but happens more often in cold weather) two lights pop up, the check engine light and the stability track light. I also get three display messages, service stabiltrack, service traction control and engine power is reduced. Half of the times that this occurs my car literally shuts off while driving and a different message is displayed stating engine power shutting down. I lose all control of vehicle, power steering, gas etc. This only happens when going at high speeds ,which is even more dangerous. I turn the car off, if i immediately try to turn it back on it does nothing, if i wait a minute or so it will turn over. At this time usually all display and lights are off except the check engine light. Which does eventually go away.this is a very dangerous situation and needs to be fixed or a recall is in order. There are far too many people that have gone through this similar situation.
When turning on the air, there is a knocking noise on thepassenger side by the glove box. Sounds like the air door actuator. It was the same thing with my 2003 chevy impala. Check on youtube. There more and more problems with this part. Just purchase this vehicle on july 24, 2013 at a dealership.
The takkata inflator symbol is showing i have took it to several mechanic and they say they can fix the problems. My car jump and stop at time. When i try to start my car it takes like 5 or 6 time before it start. It mostly jump , shakes and that the engine before it starts. The head lights where changes and they still keep going out
2010 chevy impala only has 58,000 miles on it. I've already had been having issues with the car not starting all of the time and now after putting new tires on it, i am driving down the road and get "service stabilitrack," "service traction control," and "engine power reduced." i was on a major highway going about 60 mph and was almost rear-ended due to the sudden loss of speed. I was able to move into a turning lane and get to a parking lot without getting myself killed. I still, however, have to figure out how i'm getting home from work! i had noticed when i first went out that it seemed to be shifting hard, but the roads were wet, so i thought perhaps it was the stabilitrack kicking in, not going out! i have two small children, who thankfully were not with me. The car has been nothing but trouble since i've purchased it. With such low-mileage, i figured i was good to go for awhile. I have a 2003 chevy tahoe with almost 200,000 miles and have not had this many issues out of it!! contacted chevrolet, but am told no recalls have been made. Why not?!?!
The traction control light and the abs light came on at the same time and its saying service tractioncontrol system/service stabilatrak system and also service assited brake control system i did some research and i found out this is a common problem with these cars and should be addressed by gm to be fixed at their cost not mine
The 2010 impala was at hwy speeds at approx 65mph. The traction control light came on and the check engine light and the message display was flashing traction control failure. The lights stayed on. It also said engine at reduced speeds . The traction control failed at hwy speeds which left me coasting to reduced speeds and then the car shut off at 20 mph with no power steering or braking. I was able to coast off the highway into a parking lot off the service road.
1 my driver side seat beat will not latch no matter what i have done does it moving or sitting still just will not latch. 2 the read out on my dash say's engine power reduced at times this will come on when started and stay on for short and extended times please help a senior and don't know where to turn
Sometimes when driving an "engine reduced" warning will pop up and when it does so, the car limits the amount of power applied when accelerating. I have to turn it off and sit a few minutes before it goes back to normal.
After an attempt to start the vehicle, the ignition would not turn over. Several attempts to start the vehicle were made to no avail.
When i was driving to work my car suddenly lost its traction control,the engine went to have power and the check engine light came on. It happens very fast, and now my car wont go over 40 miles per hour. I research on the internet i see lots of people having this problem so i wanted to report it.
Engine power reduced...car shuts off in the middle of traffic.
My impala keeps giving me a warning light that say service stabilitrak, service traction control and engine power reduced. It stay on for a little while and then goes off. Cannot seem to find out why it is doing this but very concerned that my cars speed will reduce while i am in traffic.
I have a 2010 chevy impala lt with 90k+ miles on it. I originally bought the car in 2011 used with 40k+ miles on it, so the car is no longer covered through warranty. Engine power reduced, service stabilitrac, etc.i'm a full time college student, and a full time uber driver. Last night i was with a passenger on [xxx] towards o'hare airport. My car reduced speed and suddenly dropped speed from 70mph down to 50mph. As i turned on the emergency light and start steering to the right to get onto the shoulder i was in the third lane to the right (the expressway is 4 lanes) as i was turning to the right to get onto the shoulder and to get to safety my steering locks, and there was a reckless driver going 100mph trying to cut off traffic. The lanes to the left were blocked so he had to cut me off by overtaking me by going onto the shoulder. He damaged his right rearview mirror and probably scrapped the right side of his car pulling off that reckless stunt. Had i delayed the breaking for a second i wouldn't be alive making this post today. Luckily i turned the car off, waited for a few minutes, turned the car back on and took the nearby [xxx], and waited with my passenger at the nearby target parking lot for the next uber driver to pick up my passenger and get her safely to the airport. Had i not acted quickly, my uber passenger would have missed her flight.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
The traction control light comes on, then you get a message saying the engine power is reduced.then you get a message saying the car is shutting down.this has been happening every once in a while, but now it's a lot more frequent.this saturday i was driving about 60 on a three lane highway with no shoulder/break down lane.the car shut off while i was going up a hill.cars were flying up behind me and swerving to miss me.normally it takes about 5 minutes and you can restart the car.this time it was almost 10 minutes.i had a panic attack sitting there.once the car finally started i drove about 50 feet and it happened again.luckily there was a dunkin donuts there and i coasted into the parking lot.i sat there about 20 minutes so i could catch my breath, stop crying and composed myself.when i went to the dealer about 6 months ago they said it was my gas pedal, and it was going to cost $164.however when you research this on the web, you will see most people who have the gas pedal fixed it happens again.there should really be a recall on this because someone will get into an accident and perhaps get killed.
Traction control light and engine reduce speed light came on and car started stutter and slow down on the highway. Replace throttle body twice and replace gas pedal sensor.
I was driving and my dash said service traction control engine speed reduced and it slowed down by it self

Good morning i just would like to say this is my second vehicle from chevy but this vehicle has really placed me in a bad bind. First the airbag light comes on and off for the passed month, next the key becomes stuck in the ignition then it went out had to replace that. Traction control light comes on comes over board with message saying," engine power is reduced then message states car shutting down " in the middle of driving . This last time i had my new born grandbaby in the car driving on expressway going 60speed limit car just shut offcars flying pass me i was really terrified for my safety and my grand child. This has occurred off and on since last year. Last year i had taken it back to all star chevy in miss.they stated they couldn't find anything cost me a good penny when they stated that the warranty was out. Now the car will not start. I have been replacing alot of electrical issues with this car for the last year but this time is the last time my grand baby and myself could have lost our life"now no car to get back and forth to work i have been really patient with chevy with this car i still have all my receipts from aaa fixing this car i refused to spend any more money on this car. I need toknow if this company will help me because a 2010 should not havethis much problem.

I was sitting in the parking lot with my engine running for about 10 mind. All a sudden 'reduced engine power' came across my dash and my service engine light came on. I turned my car off. About an hour later i turned it back on and the message was gone. Then as i was driving down the road my service air bag light came on. It only comes on when the passenger seat beat is clicked on. And my driver side back door auto lock stopped working.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. While driving approximately 80 mph, the trac stability and engine warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle immediately stalled.

While driving my impala, with no warning, my car lost power. The dash beeped at me and said reduced engine power, service stalinktrak, service traction control.i had to turn my car off, i waited a few minutes then turned car back on. The car was able to run and drive after this, but my check engine light was on. I had vehicle computer scanned and had a code for throttle position sensor. After further research, i have learned i will need to replace the whole throttle body. My car has now lost power several times and my rpm gauge 'bounces'. I will be parking my car until the part comes in. This was very dangerous as you lose all power with no warning going down the expressway.
My car has worked fine scince i bought it with no check engine codes.i pulled into parking space and put car in park,all of a sudden it stalled out and will not crank anymore but has power.key will not come out of ignition and battery will not shut off.the ignition switch is a very common problem with impalas and is very dangerous.it locks people out of there cars,gets stuck in gears,wont let key release,wont start,sets off anti theft signal which cuts power to door locks,trunk,starter,fuelpump,and more.i have read hundreds of forums of this problem with chevy impala that has been going on for years without the problem being fixed.elderly women breaking down on highway or car just shutting off and not restarting.it is soooooo common with chevy that they can diagnose the problem just over the phone.this is very unacceptable and has to be dealt with.please recall this problem.
The check engine light comes on and it says service stabilitrak reduced power engine. Then the car slows,it may jerk, or stall. This has been an ongoing issue. I've taken it to be looked at least 2 or 3 times.i've been told they don't see anything and i should bring the car in to getservicedthe light comes on.it usually last a few days but it will come back on.i've also received a letter from chevrolet about fixing it but when i took it to get serviced i was told that it had to be under a certain amount of miles. This is a safety hazard and could cause a potential car accident or even death if traveling at high speeds and then all of a sudden your car engine reduces power.i know this because i've almost been in an accident twice due to this issue.
Riding along at 70 mph traction control light and check engine light comes on. Computer says engine speed is reduced. Drove two more miles to pull over safely but car cut off and computer says engine start is disabled and car would not restart until i unhooked battery. Not real fun with rush hour in st.

2nd air injection check & shut off valve has failed for the 3rd time on this vehicle.i contacted a friend of mine at gm and a global technical specialist in the exhaust manifolds/heat shields/sai division of the general motors global propulsion systems stated that there was a corrosion durability concern with this part that resulted in elevated warranty.there is now a improved service pn available that replaces the pn that have been used in my vehicle.i feel that gm should recall these bad parts and refund us for them.each time this part needs to be replaced the cost is over $400 to me.my first replacement part went on 1-30-13 at 46737 miles.the 2nd replacement part went on 7-8-14 at 71368 miles.now the 3rd replacement part needs to go on at 115429 miles.the 1st replacement part cost me $567 to replace at the dealership.the 2nd replacement part cost me $478 to replace at an independent shop. It will cost me the same or a little more to get this replaced for the 3rd time.is there anything that you can do to help me?

This is a very dangerous and expensive problem which gm is aware of and could cause serious injuries if not dealt with.
Major safety issue!while driving on the expressway hours from home reduced engine power/service traction control/check engine lights came on. Cruise control disabled as well. Car stopped on the expressway, steering wheel locked up. Luckily we were able to coast to the side otherwise this could have been a disaster! vehicle was towed to a nearby service station where it is currently located. There are several complaints out there like this.gm needs to recall and fix this problem!

I was driving to work, nearly at the end of a 50 mile trip, the car was functioning normally with no abnormal noises or indications of problems. I drove the car into the parking lot and was making a slight right turn, traveling at about 15 mph, when suddenly the car screeched to an immediate halt and stalled the engine. The sudden stop was violent and threw me against my seatbelt. I moved the gear selector lever from drive to park and restarted the engine without any trouble. The engine ran smooth and without any unusual noise. I put the car into drive, but it would not move and it made loud grinding and clunking sounds. I put the car in reverse, but still it would not move and again made loud noises. I put the car in neutral and a friend came over to help me push the car to a more safe area, but still the car would not move. Apparently the drivetrain was locked up and would not move, no matter what gear position the transmission was in. The car was later dragged on to a flatbed truck and taken to my local auto service center, where they determined the transmission was bad. The vehicle was then towed to my local chevrolet dealer to be fixed under the gm 100,000mi/5 year powertrain warranty. I am very shaken up by this incident and fear what would have happen if the vehicles front wheels would have violently locked up like this at highway speeds. I fear the result would have been a total loss of control of the vehicle and possibly severe injury or even death to myself and others. I hope gm and the nhtsa investigate this incident and find the cause of the transmission failure with the goal of preventing this from happening again before someone gets hurt or killed.
I was driving on a rural road at 55 miles per hour in my 2010 impala and it was just a normal activity no excessive turning or driving . My light came on and said to service traction control. Then my light said engine power has been reduced. I was trying to get to a safe place to pull off the road an my light came on again and it said it was disengaging the throttle and my car just quit. No power steering no warning just quit and i barely got it off the road in time to keep me from crashing!the car wouldn't start for about ten minutes but finally i got it started and made it home. If i had been on the interstate this could have been tragic !
2010 chevy impala only has 58,000 miles on it. I've already had been having issues with the car not starting all of the time and now after putting new tires on it, i am driving down the road and get "service stabilitrack," "service traction control," and "engine power reduced." i was on a major highway going about 60 mph and was almost rear-ended due to the sudden loss of speed. I was able to move into a turning lane and get to a parking lot without getting myself killed. I still, however, have to figure out how i'm getting home from work! i had noticed when i first went out that it seemed to be shifting hard, but the roads were wet, so i thought perhaps it was the stabilitrack kicking in, not going out! i have two small children, who thankfully were not with me. The car has been nothing but trouble since i've purchased it. With such low-mileage, i figured i was good to go for awhile. I have a 2003 chevy tahoe with almost 200,000 miles and have not had this many issues out of it!! contacted chevrolet, but am told no recalls have been made. Why not?!?!
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. While driving at approximately 75 mph, the vehicle stalled and the traction control and the check engine warning lights illuminated.

Driving home friday night 12/26/12 on cruise set at 65, bang, car dropped power drastically, kicked off cruise, and the three rotating messages appeared on dash, 1)service stabilitrak, 2)service traction control, & 3)engine power reduced. Both orange placards lit up on dash, service engine and traction. Pulled out of traffic and re started the car. Was able to drive at normal speeds but codes still rotating and placards still lit. Couldn't get it into the shop until monday 12/31/12. When i started it up to take it in, codes were all cleared and car ran just fine. Dealership told me it was the pedal sensor and would cost me $275 to repair. How can we get gm to do a recall on this on going issue? this is a 2010 chevy impala lt with 45000 on it. This repair should be covered under warranty and i was told it is not.there have been numerous individuals with this same sensor failing at about 45000 miles.a sudden drop in power to a speed of 25 while driving at highway speeds is very dangerous.it is amazing with as many failures as have been reported to gm on just the edmunds car form site alone that there have not been any serious crashes.please take a good look at this issue and see if you can't get gm to recall these sensors and get them replaced with better ones.
I have a low mileage vehicle. I have remained current on all of my routine maintenance. The car recently had the warnings: service traction control and engine power is reduced. I have looked on multiple outlets and saw that this is a common problem with this vehicle. The solution that the dealer gives is varied and coincidentally not covered under warranty.
My car suddenly lost power while driving, no warning. Engine light came on that says "service stabilitrak". I was able to pull over safely and after a few moments i could drive again. I previously owned a 2009 impala and this same thing happened! it would have cost $1900 to fix which is why i just decided to upgrade and by another. This appears to be a common problem with this type of vehicle.

When the incident first occurred, the engine light came on and the dash read "service stabilitrak", "service traction control" and "engine power reduced". It seemed fine when i turned off the car and turned it back on. The next incident didn't happen until a while later, and then it wasn't that bad. A few months later, i was driving back on the highway and the same thing happened, except it said "starting disabled, service throttle" and the car shut off. I pulled over to the side and i was able to restart the car after waiting a few minutes. It was a scary experience. Eventually, leading up to today, my car got worse and worse, and eventually it just started turning off at stoplights with the message "starting disabled, service throttle". It starts with the other messages almost as soon as i turn on the car. The engine revs and the car sounds awful.

My family was driving down the interstate at 70 mph,all of the sudden these messages started to appear on the message center.engine power has been reduced, something about traction control and another message that i can not remember.the car then lost all power, it shut off completely.we did make it over to the "slow" lane, but there we sat on the interstate with traffic all around us.the car would not start!!!need less to my girls and my self were terrified that we would be hit.after about 10 minutes the car did start again and we made it to our destination.the messages are not displaying now, but the engine light is still. I am taking it to the shop today.what will it take before gm does something about this??????
Driving on a highway, traction control warning came on, then a warning that engine power reduced, the car slowed down from 65 to 0 in about 10 seconds.i was able to pull over to the shoulder to avoid getting hit, and shut the car off.when i tried to restart the car, it would not turn over. I sat there for about 10 minutes and tried to start the car again.i was able to start it and get going again finally, but was very nervous to drive on the highway especially since i had my grandchild in the car with me and cars were behind me.the sudden loss of power to the car could have ended up tragically.
While driving and the car shuts down, when it finally starts the engine light came on, the passenger seat comes on and no one is sitting there. Ive had it checked out something about an air mass flow sensor, then the light came on about traction

Car shuts down randomly on the highway and is life threatening
I was driving my car on the hwy going about 70-75 mph when it happened to me.the road condition was nice with no signs of water on the highway during the hours of 2 pm, great sunny day.the car jerked on me like the throttle was going down.afterwards the car jerked again and the traction light notification started to beep and the car idled down and i couldn't increase my speed.i continued on the hwy assuming it would rectify itself but my girl (who mainly drives the car), informed me it's been doing this for over the past year off and on probably once every other month.that the weather condition didn't matter it would pop up and slow down and she'd have to pull over and wait about 10 minutes after turning off the car to turn it back on to be able to continue about her day normally.i continued to drive but it never did fix itself.i had to finally take an exit and stopped at a gas station.might as well take a break while.after about 10-15 minutes, i cranked the car and the issue seemed to resolve itself and i had no further problems throughout the rest of the day.
Reduced engine power lights came, on traction control light came, on it was hard to accelerate in the middle of a highway, car almost shut down, but i made it home. It has happened twice on the highway and turnpike. I thought it was oil but that wasn't the issue. It stops (the problems) after i shut the car off for an evening, but i'm scared it will power down while on the highway again. When this issue happens the car beeps, then the traction light comes on with warning and so does the engine light and reduced engine power warning. Always in motion, especially higher speeds than normal city streets. Such as turnpike and highway.
Every other week or so i get the "engine power reduced/ service stabiltrack/ service traction control" and the car will loose power. After an hour or so of sitting with the car off, it resets and the check engine light stays on until that eventually also resets. Today i was driving the same trouble codes came on and the car completely lost power i had no ability to accelerate, the power steering was disengaged it also mentioned something about the throttle body this time. Luckily i pulled into a nearby parking lot and the car reset after sitting for about an hour. This warning light and the reduced engine power has been an ongoing issue but i never lost complete power to the engine and steering light until today. This is an unacceptable issue that is ongoing with many gm owners. There needs to be a recall immediately!
Driving at approximately 65 mph ad then all of a sudden the warning lights come on : check stability tracker, reduce power, and the vehicle shuts down.
Driving down busy hwy going 75 speed, engine power reduce message came on also traction control message, i been getting this message over a year in a half took it to a mechanic they couldn't seem to find anything wrong with it, since the message would go away after ten minutes or so i never taught was anything major till my car showed the message starter disabled service throttle came on basically letting me know my car was going to lock on me or something and with a few seconds my speed reduced more and i could not push d gas anymore i had to pull over to the side of the road in disbelief of what just happened and scared so i parked and turned off my car then i tried to turn it on and it wouldn't even start or make a starting noise the steeringwheel was locked and i couldn't do anything, i waited at least ten minutes and i tried again and it turned on the message was gone but the check engine was still on. Trough the day this incident didn't happen anymore but i went on line and i see a lot of people with the same model car as me are having the same problem!.

The contact also received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v507000 (air bags, electrical system) and was to check with the manufacturer to determine when the dealer may be able to schedule a repair. The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.
While going onto the highway the light on dash board lit up stating traction control appear then 2 seconds later the reduce engine power appeared causing the car speed to cease while on the highway luckily it was not rush hour if so there would have been an a fatal accident and luckily i was able to coast to the sided of the road.
The check engine light came in, then the stabilitrak light came on, then engine power reduced car stopped in the middle of traffic, could have been fatal. Waited car powered back on. A known issue in this model.
Traction control, stabiltrak system engine light comes on reduced engine power, this has happen a lot over the couple months.
At the time of the first incident traction control light came on the low engine power light came on .speed dropped down to 15 mph. Had to pull over turn car off . Then restarted it again it was fine for a month . It repeated same problem. Now check engine light stays on .hdhad code read saying throttle cable and traction control.to me that is a serious issue. This is something that needs to be addressed. Highway driving this problem could cause an accident .i can see this has been a issue with general motors with impalas and other models since2008.how many of the same complaints would it take until its fixed .complaints keep coming up after throttle bodies replaced still having same problems. General motors needs to get with the program.

Driving uphill & the service stabiltrak & the serice traction control words came on followedby reduce of engine power & the service engine light & traction control light came on. We could still drive at about 20 mph uphill & 45-50 on flat roads. We shut the car off 4 about 2 hrs 2 cool down. But then as soon as we headed up a hill it started all over.

It also said engine at reduced speeds . The traction control failed at hwy speeds which left me coasting to reduced speeds and then the car shut off at 20 mph with no power steering or braking. I was able to coast off the highway into a parking lot off the service road.
Message says "service stabilitrak" engine powering down".has happened while driving and when first starting.many gm customers have experienced same issue across several years and makes including the traverse.

I was traveling west bound on interstate 22 when the stabilitrak requires maintenance displayed across driver's information center.next the traction control light and display lights up followed by, reduced engine power, in which i lost almost all power to my vehicle.i was traveling around 70 mph in the left lane and had to navigate two lanes of traffic to reach a safe spot on the shoulder of the interstate.
My car is having issues with the service traction control, engine power reduced and will shut down. This has happened to me over 5 times now. I can't even pick up speed after this happens. I was on the highway one time doing about 65 and the car just shut down, i was on an incline/ramp and an 18 wheeler was behind me and i could have been killed. I have taken the car into to get the codes ran but can not seem to get to the root cause. I am thinking about just giving the car back and having it go on my credit.
I own a 2010 impala with what seems to be a wiring problem which causes a huge safety concern. When i google the problem to try and find out what is wrong it seems other people have had this same issue with the impala.the problem causes the car to completely shut down while you are driving down the highway. If you are unable to make it to the side of the road before it shuts off, it just dies right there in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic. First the traction light will come on a couple of times and then your car will say something like shutting down, then it will just turn off. This is very scary. If other people have this problem, isn't it a matter that chevy should have to recall? i can't imagine this is something that happens to most cars, especially when it is only 3 years old.they seem to have a feature that shuts down the power if the car things it is losing control of the tires, but the problem is, the tires are fine but the sensor is messed up. I have read many posts complaining of this same issue. It can't be safe to have cars just shut down right in the middle of the highway. I was almost hit! my daughter was in the car. I was barley in the shoulder as it shut down right as i was pulling onto it.
The antifreezes it gum up the motor the orange antifreezes.
Reduced engine power, stabilitrac and traction control messages. While driving 2010 impala .comes on without warning car loses power down to 20 mph i was driving 55 mph on highway pulled over shut car off waited few minutes car restarted then not 5 minutes later did same thing only this time engine shut off was able to coast off road thank goodness called gm they told me it was out of warranty but was under special conditions .take it to gm dealerso few days later got in it to take to dealer ,no lights on drove fine .dealer told me to bring it back if and when warning lights came on again wow! read this same issue on forums gm should have a recall on this very dangerous issue .called gm back after getting home they more less told me yes it should have been a recall but it isn't so have good day the cost is on you
Driving to work and i got a display message that said something similar to "stabilitrack repair, engine power reduced" and then the car shut down. No power steering, nothing. I was finally able to stop, but i wasn't able to get off the road and it caused a potentially dangerous situation. I've read online this is a common issue with impala's and something that is a design flaw, as the shutting down of the car is not needed. Had i been in traffic, a large car pile up would have resulted.
Starting in dec 2014 while driving at random speeds, the 2010 chevy impala will jerk hard and then the traction control light will come on. Upon this happening, the reduce engine speed appears in the display as well as service traction control, and service stability. This has been happening with various speeds and various weather conditions. If you pull over and turn car off for about 5 minutes, it will start right back up and engine reduced will no longer be on the display.

The diagnostic revealed that there are 11 codes in the vehicle system. These codes ranged from passkey system failures to evap codes to transmission. Suspected failure of wiring harness altogether with possible bcm/cam failure as well. During battery test there was a regular drop in voltage while connected to the scanner reflecting a drain in the electrical system that could further be causing an issue. Codes are p0513 , p0523 , p0700 , p2122 , p0411, p0449 ,p0455. When driving stabilitrack, engine power reduced,and stabilitrack traction control.

2010 chevy impala. Consumer writes in regards to vehicleengine problems.the consumer stated while driving home, the traction control and check engine light illuminated. The engine cut off, and the consumer lost power steering. He was able to coast off the road, and after a few minutes, he re-started the engine.
It doesn't matter if the car is running or not the actuators to the air conditioner and heating unit start clicking and making a loud noise.after a few minutes it will stop.i went and had it checked by the dealership and was told it would cost between 500 and 600 dollars to fix.in any event i have talked to several people who own impalas and they have had the same problem.my sister was one of those people.she had to take her car back twice before it was repaired correctly.apparently the computer chip in these cars are defective. The clicking noise happens even when the car is sitting in the garage and it is storming outside.i feel this is a manufacturing problem and general motors should take care of the problem without any out of pocket money from the consumer.after all the taxpayers did bail you out.

On this day came out of work, started my car and started hearing a knocking, ticking noise coming from what appeared as the passenger side dash.i have yet to get it checked out but looking on the internet others describe it as the actuator.there were so many other impala owners that experience the same, so i came on this site just knowing it would be some sort of recall but didn't find one.it amazes me that so many impala owners have the same complaint and gm isn't fixing/ looking into the issue.
I was driving and my cars engine light came on 1st then the traction control light. When they came on it reduced power to my engine and quit on the interstate. I had looked up possible causes when i had a test ran it was showing throttle body i replaced it and it never fixed it upon research i have seen multiple people who owns impalas from the years 2009 and up having the same issues and feel it is something that needs to be looked into. What i have found idk yet i am waiting on the piece to see if this is the issue or not is the pedal sensor could be the cause. But i feel it can be unsafe because my car had quit on a busy interstate with cars traveling at the speed of 65mph and higher. Just when i was looking it up i had saw so many other people having the same issues with their impalas. Please look into it thank you .\

I had a blow out on a front passenger tire. Went to raise car on flat level surface. I used the car jack for the first time since buying the car two years ago. The jack failed to stay under the frame rail ridge. Its was half way up and the car bent the frame of the jack and the threaded rod. Luckily no one was near the car it just roll forward and crushed the jack. I was unable to straighten and fix the jack. Bad metal or frame was not qa correctly. I had a police officer use the same jack on his squad car different year impala and it worked fine. I need to find a way to report the jack failure and get a replacement jack from the chevorlet company. Do not want to go to a dealer or service center. The act of this failing is a safety concern to many impala owners and i would like the jack mail to me or replaced as soon as possible.

Right low beam headlight sometimes doesn't light up. Took the vehicle for a bulb replacement and mechanics couldn't figure out why a working bulb failed. Seems to be connected to the airbag, ignition, information panel glitch.
Passenger side low beam headlight socket continues to burn out. This is a persistent problem with several general motor vehicles! i am amazed how many people mention when i google it. Gm has a service bulletin on it. This is a safety issue!obviously this is one of the two main lights used 90% of driving at night. Apparently there is a voltage drop according to owners who have checked this out. But what ever it is there is a lot of people who have this problem on several models and years of gm vehicles. Please check into this safety issue.thank you!

I was noticed that the car if it sets without being ran. That it was lossing gas on the gas gauge. I would park the car over the weekend and when i check the monday before work that the gauge had dropped. I had a friend check and he said that the fuel lines where wet with fuel and looked like they had dragged on the ground. He said i should get a hold of a dealership to see if there is a recall or a safety design flaw that can get this fixed. Cause 1 spark and the car could catch fire.
Air bag sensor has been tripped for the past 7 months, i have researched this recall, and it looks like the wiring harness might be the only thing that needs to be replaced. However, whenever, i put in my vin number, there aren't any recalls for this. Also, i have received a letter about the gas sensor possibly being bad, however, when i took it into a chevy dealer to have it fixed, they refused to. They told me that the check engine light wasn't on, and that i had to wait until it failed before they would fix it! failure of this sensor means, it could fail in an intersection, or while i am passing someone, or whatever, this is a safety concern!!! i am very unhappy that they wouldn't fix it. Now, my check engine light is on, however, it is because another sensor is bad! the evc sensor now has to be fixed. The airbag sensor was tripped while i was driving on the hwy at 70 mph on a warm day of 80 f or so.the evc sensor tripped overnight when i started the car in the morning. The gas pedal sensor has been a problem for 3 years because chevy dealers refuse to fix it. These concerns are in addition to the other mechanical fixes that i have had to do on a car that has less than 87,000 miles on it! i am feeling like i have a lemon of a car and that this impala is the worst car on the market. I have had several chevy products, and have never experienced problems like this. What happened to the great products that chevy once produced???
My car has worked fine scince i bought it with no check engine codes.i pulled into parking space and put car in park,all of a sudden it stalled out and will not crank anymore but has power.key will not come out of ignition and battery will not shut off.the ignition switch is a very common problem with impalas and is very dangerous.it locks people out of there cars,gets stuck in gears,wont let key release,wont start,sets off anti theft signal which cuts power to door locks,trunk,starter,fuelpump,and more.i have read hundreds of forums of this problem with chevy impala that has been going on for years without the problem being fixed.elderly women breaking down on highway or car just shutting off and not restarting.it is soooooo common with chevy that they can diagnose the problem just over the phone.this is very unacceptable and has to be dealt with.please recall this problem.
Driving along in traffic on main roadway and automobile stalled and would not restart
Reduced engine power lights came, on traction control light came, on it was hard to accelerate in the middle of a highway, car almost shut down, but i made it home. It has happened twice on the highway and turnpike. I thought it was oil but that wasn't the issue. It stops (the problems) after i shut the car off for an evening, but i'm scared it will power down while on the highway again. When this issue happens the car beeps, then the traction light comes on with warning and so does the engine light and reduced engine power warning. Always in motion, especially higher speeds than normal city streets. Such as turnpike and highway.
1 my driver side seat beat will not latch no matter what i have done does it moving or sitting still just will not latch. 2 the read out on my dash say's engine power reduced at times this will come on when started and stay on for short and extended times please help a senior and don't know where to turn
After purchasing this vehicle within 30 days the air bag system light came on i took the vehicle back to future nissan of folsom and they stated that i would have to call the warranty people there was nothing they could do about it. A week later i noticed when i slow down using the breaks it makes a shaking sound, making the whole car shake. This vehicle also has no coverage when pumping gas i noticed the silver cap insidethat's suppose to remain closed until you put the gas pump in there in always open, which allows air to get inside. My powertrain is not accelerations properly, it takes about a minute for it to catch its gear.
Started driving car wouldn't go over 5 mph. Engine shakes violently. Display reads reduced engine power. Traction control warning.
I have 2010 impala it keeps giving me the dashboard message eng power reduced service stupbilty traction control off when it dose this the car will only go 40 mph witch is dangerous on freeway going 75 mph with other traffic

I was driving on a rural road at 55 miles per hour in my 2010 impala and it was just a normal activity no excessive turning or driving . My light came on and said to service traction control. Then my light said engine power has been reduced. I was trying to get to a safe place to pull off the road an my light came on again and it said it was disengaging the throttle and my car just quit. No power steering no warning just quit and i barely got it off the road in time to keep me from crashing!the car wouldn't start for about ten minutes but finally i got it started and made it home. If i had been on the interstate this could have been tragic !
While driving on the highway and accelerating to merge, the car felt as if it dropped a gear or two and the power was noticeably reduced.the service light on the dash came on and the error message "service stabilitytrac- service traction control" came across the dash. Now the car when it accelerates "jerks" as if it's having trouble making it to the next gear when moving between 20-30mph on the speedometer. The power in accelerating after 30mph is dramatically reduced the faster you wish to go.
I was driving home from work and i was doing 55 mph,and the car started to hesitate,and the dashboard info read stabilitrac, engine safty mod, and reduced power. Then the car started to slow down,and when i tried to give it some gas the engine started to knock,and the temperature gauge went all the way up to the top. I pulled over and shut the car off,and opened the hood, and it wasn't even over heating.after letting it sit for a few minutes i started it up and went about five hundred feet and it did it again.
Car cut off at speed in curve after quick dash warning:stabletrack.....reduced engine power.....then cut off.no power brakes, no power steering, engine stopped running.if traffic had been in opposite lane would have been head on collision.this needs to be a recall.my wife will not drive herimpala any longer.this is my 14th chevrolet - possibly my last!!!!!

The transmission shifter lever is stuck in park and the key is stuck in the ignition switch due to a very poor electrical design. The electrical wires attached to the connector that operates the solenoid that unlocks the transmission shifter button in the park position and that also connects to the ignition switch and operates various functions such as releasing the ignition key and allows the vehicle electrical system to be completely turned off ,breaks off due to electrical wires being too short and the back and forth movement of the shifter . Checking the onlineblogs this is a known issue that has been happening on several gm vehicles for some time without any recalls despite constant customer complaints due to the very poor design.some dealers have suggested leaving the key in the ignition switch and unlocking and locking the vehicle with the key fob. This invites vehicle theft and by not having the electrical system completely turned off, the battery runs down as the accessories and ignition is still turned on and the transmission lights on the instrument panel remains lighted.some customers have had repeat reoccurrences after having the issue repaired at a cost of between $500 and $600.after inspecting the operation of the shifter and the affect it has on the electrical wiring it is obvious that the wiring will fail and in the blogs as early as whilst under warrantee.i am concerned if there are any other issues that may occur especially safety ones as there is 5 wires i do not know the function of each wire .can you please investigate this issue.

To whom it may concern:i am writing this letter on behalf of my parents for the great abuse that has been done to them. About 3 years ago they were really excited because for the first time in there life after living here for close to 40 years they would have bought a car from a dealership! a fairly new car, first car from a local agency in madera. The name of the dealer: madera chrysler jeep dodge.they sold my parents a defective from the beginning.they knew about the recalls since 10/13/2010 and 05/25/2010 this was before they even purchased the car 11/26/2011. They are doing unlawful sales to vulnerable poor customers and are not in compliance. According to general motors it is and was completely the car dealerships responsibility to fix these recalls (please see attached list of recalls). Their solution is to well purchase a new car from them. They still have our car and have made no intent to fix it.please help us put a stop to this bad and corrupt sales manager who takes advantage of hispanic latinos who don?t read or speak spanish.there are many families at risk who might buy a car that is defective and there can be a horrible catastrophe or death.

While driving on the highway and accelerating to merge, the car felt as if it dropped a gear or two and the power was noticeably reduced.the service light on the dash came on and the error message "service stabilitytrac- service traction control" came across the dash. Now the car when it accelerates "jerks" as if it's having trouble making it to the next gear when moving between 20-30mph on the speedometer. The power in accelerating after 30mph is dramatically reduced the faster you wish to go.

After purchasing this vehicle within 30 days the air bag system light came on i took the vehicle back to future nissan of folsom and they stated that i would have to call the warranty people there was nothing they could do about it. A week later i noticed when i slow down using the breaks it makes a shaking sound, making the whole car shake. This vehicle also has no coverage when pumping gas i noticed the silver cap insidethat's suppose to remain closed until you put the gas pump in there in always open, which allows air to get inside. My powertrain is not accelerations properly, it takes about a minute for it to catch its gear.
This has happened on numerous occasions. While driving my vehicle will turn off. Sometimes me vehicle will have trouble starting. Turning the key will not engage the starter, there will be no attempt of the motor to turn over. This continues to happen even after the removal of all key rings from the ignition key. Today (11/18/14), my impala died while driving and the engine light turned on. The code stated that there was a faulty ignition switch.
I was driving down the street and suddenly i heard a popping sound and i noticed the car wasn't accelerating normally so i made it to my destination and i started the car up went to put it in drive and it wouldn't accelerate is was though the car was in neutral so i put it in reverse and it went into reverse put it 3rd gear wouldn't accelerate the i tried 2cd gear and it drove kind of ruff so i then tried 1st gear and and i was able to make it home at 15 mph so i took the car to the chevy dealer i bought it from and to my surprise they say there were some defective parts in the transmission and they could rebuild the transmission for 2100 dollars and i would have to pay 850 to have it fixed because my car is out of warranty as 7/23/14the car has the airbag service light andtire sensor light that appears on the dashboard .
[xxx]i have attached this link as a reference so that you can see that i am not the only one going through this. I have been experiencing the same problems as alot of these people as far as the car jerking and with the car reducing its speed (service stabilitrak warning). I have been to the dealer 3 times already, which i had to replace transmission lines and an accelerator sensor (which they replaced the whole accelerator). Please note my complaint is no reflection to the service dept at that dealer for they were extremely courteous and as helpful as they could possibly be. I was very happy with the dealer, but i am not at all happy with the way gm is not handling this. As you read through the comments on that link, this is a very dangerous problem and it needs to be recalled asap. I travel on major expressways 4 days a week with my mom and don't want to end up in a bad accident because of this. I have photos of the dashboard messages if needed. As of today, they are not on but the car is jerking again. Please consider action on this. -- thank you.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving and my cars engine light came on 1st then the traction control light. When they came on it reduced power to my engine and quit on the interstate. I had looked up possible causes when i had a test ran it was showing throttle body i replaced it and it never fixed it upon research i have seen multiple people who owns impalas from the years 2009 and up having the same issues and feel it is something that needs to be looked into. What i have found idk yet i am waiting on the piece to see if this is the issue or not is the pedal sensor could be the cause. But i feel it can be unsafe because my car had quit on a busy interstate with cars traveling at the speed of 65mph and higher. Just when i was looking it up i had saw so many other people having the same issues with their impalas. Please look into it thank you .\

My car died along side the highway due to the transmission suddenly failing. We were unable to move in any forward or reverse gears. I have never driven the car hard, and always maintain per manufacturers specifications and guidelines. 2010 impala with 130,000 miles. Fortunately a police officer was able to park behind us in the road with his lights flashing to keep cars from running into us until we were able to get towed away. I had just made a left hand turn onto the highway, and the transmission instantly failed after the turn (i had driven about a mile from my garage till the failure).

Airbag light goes on and off while driving. Took to dealer said it is a $700 repair for the "seat belt tensioner". Transmission exploded at 30,000 miles. At 60,000 mile had to replace transmission again. Now at 108,000 miles transmission is now slipping and not accelerating properly from a stop.
I was driving to work, nearly at the end of a 50 mile trip, the car was functioning normally with no abnormal noises or indications of problems. I drove the car into the parking lot and was making a slight right turn, traveling at about 15 mph, when suddenly the car screeched to an immediate halt and stalled the engine. The sudden stop was violent and threw me against my seatbelt. I moved the gear selector lever from drive to park and restarted the engine without any trouble. The engine ran smooth and without any unusual noise. I put the car into drive, but it would not move and it made loud grinding and clunking sounds. I put the car in reverse, but still it would not move and again made loud noises. I put the car in neutral and a friend came over to help me push the car to a more safe area, but still the car would not move. Apparently the drivetrain was locked up and would not move, no matter what gear position the transmission was in. The car was later dragged on to a flatbed truck and taken to my local auto service center, where they determined the transmission was bad. The vehicle was then towed to my local chevrolet dealer to be fixed under the gm 100,000mi/5 year powertrain warranty. I am very shaken up by this incident and fear what would have happen if the vehicles front wheels would have violently locked up like this at highway speeds. I fear the result would have been a total loss of control of the vehicle and possibly severe injury or even death to myself and others. I hope gm and the nhtsa investigate this incident and find the cause of the transmission failure with the goal of preventing this from happening again before someone gets hurt or killed.
When i first purchase my car from a used car dealer which is smart auto dealer, 2 weeks later my vehicle will start to have issues while my vehicle is in motion on the service streets. Whenever i am making a left turn my alert alarm will light up on dash statingservice brake assist , service stabilitrak , service traction control and abs light, this will go on & off, but now it stays on constantly. While turning left, there will be a grinding noise, car tends to reduce its power, like its hard for me to take off and my vehicle will kick so hard, like something is locking. Also another issue is while parked on a slanted carport, my vehicle will not go into reverse gear. I feel like my vehicle is going to break because, i have to force it to get into reverse gear, that the vehicle will make the loudest noise, like my axleis going to break on me. According to the dealers service department its not showing up on there diagnostic as any issues.

1) airbag light intermittently has gone on and off for months. I asked dealer about it, they said it would be expensive to diagnose because they would have to trace the wiring harness, removing seat and dashboard. Labor would be expensive. I complained to gm on a couple of occasions and was given a case#. I was told car is out of warranty, therefore, it would be my expense to have this diagnosed and fixed. Dealer said airbag would not deploy if light is illuminated. This a major safety defect. Fall 2013.2) the rear window defroster stopped working last fall 2013. I had to pay for total repair as it was not covered under warranty. They said it was a wiring issue. Impala's have been known to have issue. Oct 2013.3) the gas pedal fell off while i was driving.

Driving home friday night 12/26/12 on cruise set at 65, bang, car dropped power drastically, kicked off cruise, and the three rotating messages appeared on dash, 1)service stabilitrak, 2)service traction control, & 3)engine power reduced. Both orange placards lit up on dash, service engine and traction. Pulled out of traffic and re started the car. Was able to drive at normal speeds but codes still rotating and placards still lit. Couldn't get it into the shop until monday 12/31/12. When i started it up to take it in, codes were all cleared and car ran just fine. Dealership told me it was the pedal sensor and would cost me $275 to repair. How can we get gm to do a recall on this on going issue? this is a 2010 chevy impala lt with 45000 on it. This repair should be covered under warranty and i was told it is not.there have been numerous individuals with this same sensor failing at about 45000 miles.a sudden drop in power to a speed of 25 while driving at highway speeds is very dangerous.it is amazing with as many failures as have been reported to gm on just the edmunds car form site alone that there have not been any serious crashes.please take a good look at this issue and see if you can't get gm to recall these sensors and get them replaced with better ones.

I drove it to auto nation yesterday june 11th to see if it was a recall. They said there hasn't been one. I drove it home and started searching online for possible problems with it and there were so many posts about this issue. I searched under the passenger seat because that's what i read to do and low and behold all types of wires under it are completely severed and torn up. I was going to fix this myself but i really don't want to be held liable in case of accident or injury. This must be fixed and it's my belief that it's caused by the vehicle design. Please hold chevrolet responsible for this repair as it is very dangerous for both the passenger and possibly everyone else in the vehicle. Thank you very much for looking into this. I also believe that when a person calls a dealer telling then exactly what they found d (i called lenlyle on colfax and sable in aurora, co. And explained to then my findings and they told me that i would have to pay for this repair. They should direct a person to you guys when something that has to do with safety is found to be defective. This should be a requirement that they contact you dot as well as offer a repair imediately and consider themselves lucky that someone wasn't killed because a person came to them with the problem instead of trying to do the repair themselves.

The driver seat belt is sticking and will not latch.if you do get it to latch it will unlatch with the slightest movement.i took the vehicle to the dealership to have it looked at.they told me the technician was unable to get the latch unstuck.they told me it was a faulty mechanism and that it would need to be replaced, but they do not just replace the latch, they would have to replace the latch and the entire seat belt assembly with the tensioner.however they did not have this item in stock and they would have to order it and i would have to bring the vehicle back for the repairs.in the mean time i am driving with a faulty seat belt that is not only a safety issue but a legal issue.i must wear my seatbelt - it is the law.but unfortunately it will not latch.

To whom it may concern:i am writing this letter on behalf of my parents for the great abuse that has been done to them. About 3 years ago they were really excited because for the first time in there life after living here for close to 40 years they would have bought a car from a dealership! a fairly new car, first car from a local agency in madera. The name of the dealer: madera chrysler jeep dodge.they sold my parents a defective from the beginning.they knew about the recalls since 10/13/2010 and 05/25/2010 this was before they even purchased the car 11/26/2011. They are doing unlawful sales to vulnerable poor customers and are not in compliance. According to general motors it is and was completely the car dealerships responsibility to fix these recalls (please see attached list of recalls). Their solution is to well purchase a new car from them. They still have our car and have made no intent to fix it.please help us put a stop to this bad and corrupt sales manager who takes advantage of hispanic latinos who don?t read or speak spanish.there are many families at risk who might buy a car that is defective and there can be a horrible catastrophe or death.

Potential defective seat belt assemblies causing airbag lights to come on and off intermittently when the seats are moved forward and backwards.local repair shop performed diagnostic test and the code displayed led them to the passenger side air bag.within a day of the repair the light came back on but went off and has not illuminated since.i have contacted gm (case # sr # 71-13111-46047) and they have refused to assist stating there are no recalls for this issue for the impala and will not reimburse me since i used a local repair shop and not a gm dealership.i believe this is a defective seat belt assembly that gm has installed in chevy impala?s and they refuse to take ownership.their track record with faulty parts and failure to recall unsafe vehicles has been proven.i feel this is a serious safety concern and i am asking the ntsb look into this matter.
Car was hit on front drivers corner and front end.car shut off and no air bags deployed.
Driver and passenger seat belts have cuts in the out side edges. Seems to be caused by the re-tractor mechanism as the cuts are inside the door pillars when they are retracted. Has this happened on any other impalas and what should we do?
While driving at night speed 55 mph all the instrument gauges went to zero nothing was registering at all this happened several times while driving. It happened several times after that for the next 2 months. Then it would not start. Had to tow to dealer.
While driving and the car shuts down, when it finally starts the engine light came on, the passenger seat comes on and no one is sitting there. Ive had it checked out something about an air mass flow sensor, then the light came on about traction

During a road trip, stopped for lunch.upon continuing the drive to home, the brake pedal suddenly faded away and smoke began to come from under the hood - we found a parking lot and pulled in and shut the car off.after opening the hood, we discover the top of the motor was covered with brake fluid.we had the car towed to our home town - 100 miles away - at a cost of $650.00 - then delivered to the dealer on monday - today they have informed me that we have no warranty left and the brake line had rubbed on a part next to it causing the leak.further more - the required part for repair is on a minimum 2 week back order - indicating that this is not an uncommon problem.if this had happened just a few miles up the road, we would have been in the narrows of highway 101 in the curves with no where to pull off!!the brakes went off line with no warning - where is the recall on this vehicle?????less than 10,000 miles - only choice left will be to dump this car as soon as it is repaired - if!?!
The service airbag light came on but you claim my vin number is not under recall! this should be looked into! it came on when i started it and stayed on until i was on my way home from work then it disappeared. I also have a break that is grinding even after it has had new rotors, brake pads and the caliper changed. It grinds continuously. I am not happy at all! please check into these matters! i believe my car should be on your recall list for these issues!
At first it was when backing up and turning sharp.the traction control message would come on and a grinding like sound from the front driver wheel area.later it included the abs warning and would also occur after backing with turn and going forward at that moment.now randomly when pulling out and the service air bag light comes on.recently also the oil pressure low message and dummy light come on 3-4 times before stopping (and yes the oil pressure is good with correct oil, tires, pressure, brakes, sensors all check good).best guess diagnostics is shorting in wiring harness that can not be located until it fails completely. However with grabbing with traction control when pulling out and air bag problems it is obvious this is a safety hazard.
A common issue amongst chevy impala's is the "service stabilitrak" error. It comes on every day and effects my brake pedal and engine power.

When i first purchase my car from a used car dealer which is smart auto dealer, 2 weeks later my vehicle will start to have issues while my vehicle is in motion on the service streets. Whenever i am making a left turn my alert alarm will light up on dash statingservice brake assist , service stabilitrak , service traction control and abs light, this will go on & off, but now it stays on constantly. While turning left, there will be a grinding noise, car tends to reduce its power, like its hard for me to take off and my vehicle will kick so hard, like something is locking. Also another issue is while parked on a slanted carport, my vehicle will not go into reverse gear. I feel like my vehicle is going to break because, i have to force it to get into reverse gear, that the vehicle will make the loudest noise, like my axleis going to break on me. According to the dealers service department its not showing up on there diagnostic as any issues. Can someone please tell me if there is a recall on my vehicle? there was a known recall, but my vin# is not showing up. Dealers are trying to cheat me
I own a 2010 chevy impala on a short trip to shankville, pa.as i tried to slow down by tapping the brakes and the vehicle began to shake and pulsate violently.this happened again as i was taking my wife to the airport. The vehicle will begin to shake violantly when i apply the brakes at around 60 to 65 mph.i took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that the rotors are warped, and i should get new brakes with new rotors.i informed the individual that the vehicle had just had its yearly state inspection done by them in march of 2012this was early august 2012 and the vehicle had only been driven less then 2000 miles. A check on the internet shows that the impla is prone to warped brake rotors.this is a serious saftey issue.

The 2010 impala was at hwy speeds at approx 65mph. The traction control light came on and the check engine light and the message display was flashing traction control failure. The lights stayed on. It also said engine at reduced speeds . The traction control failed at hwy speeds which left me coasting to reduced speeds and then the car shut off at 20 mph with no power steering or braking. I was able to coast off the highway into a parking lot off the service road.
There was no accident the driver side rear brake line developed a leak because it was rubbing against the seam on the side of the gas tank. The line is in great shape otherwise. Still has a black coating on it other than the area that was rubbing the plastic gas tank seam.the gas tank seam is also worn away. We purchased this vehicle used in the fall of 2010 and these are the same brake lines as were on it at time of my purchase. Very dangerous experience for my wife who was driving the vehicle when the brake pedal went to the floor.luckily she got it into a parking lot and parked.this happened 3-15-2019.i took pictures then gently pulled the brake line away from the gas tank and took a picture of the hole worn in the line and wear on the gas tank
After purchasing this vehicle within 30 days the air bag system light came on i took the vehicle back to future nissan of folsom and they stated that i would have to call the warranty people there was nothing they could do about it. A week later i noticed when i slow down using the breaks it makes a shaking sound, making the whole car shake. This vehicle also has no coverage when pumping gas i noticed the silver cap insidethat's suppose to remain closed until you put the gas pump in there in always open, which allows air to get inside. My powertrain is not accelerations properly, it takes about a minute for it to catch its gear.
The traction control light and the abs light came on at the same time and its saying service tractioncontrol system/service stabilatrak system and also service assited brake control system i did some research and i found out this is a common problem with these cars and should be addressed by gm to be fixed at their cost not mine
Intermittent abs, traction control, stabilitrak issues have been happening for the last few years.it startyed at about 80k miles.i have replaced the wheel hub twice due to a loose bearing.this significantly reduced the problem the first time, but has not resolved the issue the second time.it tends to happen when the vehicle is jarred (such as hitting a pot hold on a dirt road) or when turning hard to the right while accelerating.if it happens a few times within a short time, then the system will abs, stabilitrak, and traction control systems shut down.it
Anti locking brake light coming on, service traction control, service stabiltrac ,service electronic stability control. Had all checked, said it was a right drive wheel bearing, replaced the wheel bearing. Still have the same problem.

The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled several times and the brake pedal traveled to the floor when the brakes were engaged. The abs and the air bag warning indicators illuminated intermittently. While traveling 60 mph, the vehicle failed to stop when the brakes were engaged. The failure caused the vehicle to crash into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed and no injuries were reported.

While on a medium downgrade on hwy 101 in marin county, ca at approx 65 mph i slowly applied brakes to reduce speed. The brakes immediately started to "chatter" and i thought the abs systemwas activating. I continued to just "tap" on the brakes to keep my speed reducing to the legal limit (55 mph) and the chattering stopped when speed was reduced and i was back on level grade. The condition has not repeated itself when driving on a level grade and with normal braking when slowing down from 65 mph. In august 2012 i took the car to a dealer for a minor warranty repair and asked them to also check the brakes for any problem with the abs system - still thinking that is what caused the initial problem.i was told that the brake rotors were warped and was caused "by the way i drive". I have been driving for over 60 yrs and have never had this type of brake problem. This car was purchased new in nov 2009 and it has been driven less than 10k miles per year - it is still under warranty until 11/2012. Gm refuses to accept any responsibility for premature rotor warping or that their brake design maybe faulty, i.e. Inadequate cooling for brakes, etc. They were of absolutely no help in addressing this problem seeking to put any blame solely on the driver. How can one respond to that kind of attitude. The nhtsa should make gm certify that their brake system, materials, brake cooling design, etc. Could not possible cause any form of brake rotor warping in a vehicle driven less that 25k miles. Thank you for looking into this matter.

Car was checked out for electrical noise coming from the dashboard from chevrolet dealer and said that the vehicle had a electrical problem within the dashboard area (part- air inlet recirculation valve, actuator) which is why we heard loud clicking noises, noises would at time continue even when the car was in off position.

Air bag sensor has been tripped for the past 7 months, i have researched this recall, and it looks like the wiring harness might be the only thing that needs to be replaced. However, whenever, i put in my vin number, there aren't any recalls for this. Also, i have received a letter about the gas sensor possibly being bad, however, when i took it into a chevy dealer to have it fixed, they refused to. They told me that the check engine light wasn't on, and that i had to wait until it failed before they would fix it! failure of this sensor means, it could fail in an intersection, or while i am passing someone, or whatever, this is a safety concern!!! i am very unhappy that they wouldn't fix it. Now, my check engine light is on, however, it is because another sensor is bad! the evc sensor now has to be fixed. The airbag sensor was tripped while i was driving on the hwy at 70 mph on a warm day of 80 f or so.the evc sensor tripped overnight when i started the car in the morning. The gas pedal sensor has been a problem for 3 years because chevy dealers refuse to fix it. These concerns are in addition to the other mechanical fixes that i have had to do on a car that has less than 87,000 miles on it! i am feeling like i have a lemon of a car and that this impala is the worst car on the market. I have had several chevy products, and have never experienced problems like this. What happened to the great products that chevy once produced???
I was driving to work, nearly at the end of a 50 mile trip, the car was functioning normally with no abnormal noises or indications of problems. I drove the car into the parking lot and was making a slight right turn, traveling at about 15 mph, when suddenly the car screeched to an immediate halt and stalled the engine. The sudden stop was violent and threw me against my seatbelt. I moved the gear selector lever from drive to park and restarted the engine without any trouble. The engine ran smooth and without any unusual noise. I put the car into drive, but it would not move and it made loud grinding and clunking sounds. I put the car in reverse, but still it would not move and again made loud noises. I put the car in neutral and a friend came over to help me push the car to a more safe area, but still the car would not move. Apparently the drivetrain was locked up and would not move, no matter what gear position the transmission was in. The car was later dragged on to a flatbed truck and taken to my local auto service center, where they determined the transmission was bad. The vehicle was then towed to my local chevrolet dealer to be fixed under the gm 100,000mi/5 year powertrain warranty. I am very shaken up by this incident and fear what would have happen if the vehicles front wheels would have violently locked up like this at highway speeds. I fear the result would have been a total loss of control of the vehicle and possibly severe injury or even death to myself and others. I hope gm and the nhtsa investigate this incident and find the cause of the transmission failure with the goal of preventing this from happening again before someone gets hurt or killed.

An investigation of the costly repair and on-going issue from chevrolet is in order.

While driving northbound on i-75 in southern ky, the car suddenly lurched a little and "traction control" and "stabilization" errors displayed followed by "reducing power."and, the check engine light came on.i called my chevy dealer and asked if it was safe to continue driving - they said yes, as long as the check engine light wasn't flashing.we went about 5 - 10 more miles and the display flashed something about throttle problem and then "shutting down engine", which it did immediately with no warning while we were doing about 70 - 75mph in the middle of the 3 northbound lanes of i-75. I had to try to steer to the shoulder with no power steering or brakes.once there, i tried to restart the car and nothing happened - it displayed "starter disabled."we called our road service and they took our info, found the nearest chevy dealer who said they could work on it asap if we got it in there.while they were working on setting up a tow i tried starting it again. It started but the check engine was still on.i tried driving a little along the shoulder and it seemed ok so i said we'd try driving to the dealer rather than wait for a tow truck.we made it. They got on it fairly quickly and found the problem was the gas pedal position sensor.we were fortunate that the traffic was light and i could safely pull off.i hate to think what the results would have been if this had happened earlier as we were traveling thru atlanta with its 6 lanes of heavy traffic.suddenly losing power and control in that traffic would probably have caused one of those multi-vehicle accidents that make the national news.what kind of incompetent programming of the car's computer would trigger a full, instant shutdown because of a faulty accelerator pedal position sensor?i would suggest an immediate recall to re-flash the computer to eliminate the no-warning shut down.
I have a 2010 chevrolet impala lt with 65,000 miles. I was almost in an accident.a deer ran onto the highway on may 12,2013. I was going 60 mph and then made a sudden stop. The next day my check engine light plus the traction control system light came on....now, i only had this car not even 2months and making payments and i am having problems with it (already).any other car that i had have in the past i made sudden stops and check engine lights never comes on. Whats going on with the chevrolet impalas?they look nice but they are sssoooo not worth the cost to purchase or to get repaired. This is the only bad investment i have ever made in my life. I should have stuck with my mazda. I will let it be known to anyone who ask me about chevrolet to dont even bothered.there are better cars than the chevrolet.this car is also a gas guzzler. I put $50 in the tank every 5 days when driving locally. I only work 10 minutes from my house. Everytime you stop you loose gas mileage on your dic the gas is great on the highway though. Like i said the worst investment i have ever made. Chevrolet....im so upset and disappointed.
The 2010 impala was at hwy speeds at approx 65mph. The traction control light came on and the check engine light and the message display was flashing traction control failure. The lights stayed on. It also said engine at reduced speeds . The traction control failed at hwy speeds which left me coasting to reduced speeds and then the car shut off at 20 mph with no power steering or braking. I was able to coast off the highway into a parking lot off the service road.
At the time of the first incident traction control light came on the low engine power light came on .speed dropped down to 15 mph. Had to pull over turn car off . Then restarted it again it was fine for a month . It repeated same problem. Now check engine light stays on .hdhad code read saying throttle cable and traction control.to me that is a serious issue. This is something that needs to be addressed. Highway driving this problem could cause an accident .i can see this has been a issue with general motors with impalas and other models since2008.how many of the same complaints would it take until its fixed .complaints keep coming up after throttle bodies replaced still having same problems. General motors needs to get with the program.
My impala keeps giving me a warning light that say service stabilitrak, service traction control and engine power reduced. It stay on for a little while and then goes off. Cannot seem to find out why it is doing this but very concerned that my cars speed will reduce while i am in traffic.
My car is having issues with the service traction control, engine power reduced and will shut down. This has happened to me over 5 times now. I can't even pick up speed after this happens. I was on the highway one time doing about 65 and the car just shut down, i was on an incline/ramp and an 18 wheeler was behind me and i could have been killed. I have taken the car into to get the codes ran but can not seem to get to the root cause. I am thinking about just giving the car back and having it go on my credit.
Chevy 2010 showed a code of service safety link, traction control engine power reduced and the engine light is on.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. While driving, the vehicle would not accelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact also heard a clicking noise coming from the engine. In addition, the traction control and check engine indicators illuminated. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 155,000.
My wife and i were traveling north on pa route 15. We were on speed control at 55 mph. An error signal appeared on the dash board saying service trakcontrola few secondslater a signal said--- losing engine power.i was able to get to a somewhat narrow shoulder in a few seconds before the engine died. I could not start the car. A called aaa and after 45 minutes was towed to a garage in dillsburg.just before the tow truck arrived i was able to start the car.the mechanic tried to determine the cause and could not. I decided to drive on to my destination in. Nj the error signals appeared once more but i was able to pull into a service station and sit.i restarted car and drove to my destination. The next day i went to "rt 46 chevrolet"in nj three days latera new accelerator pedal was installed and i was able to drive to my home in ny state.. It was very scary to lose power on a hwy at 55 mph and i wonder about trusting the car!!!!!
It had snowed overnight and i was driving 60 miles per hour going downhill when the traction control light and the engine light came on and then where the odometer reading is it said engine power reduced and then check traction control and check stabilizer.i did make it to work as the car shock as the car felt like it was going to die.i did let it sit all day while i was at work and then when i started it the engine light was still on and it ran ok.i took it across the street and parked it at the chevrolet dealership and since it is sunday they are not open and i will stop by in the morning to let them know what is wrong to have them check it out.we have had this car for a year and considering not owning another chevy.
My stability control light came on when i steered to the left. Steering was difficult in the vehicle and the steering wheel/ car shook at low speeds. Dealer was informed of steering noise after purchase of vehicle. Dealer did not recognize any issue. Rack and pinion was replaced at 50,000 by mechanic. Rack and pinion snapped at 90,000 leaving no steering ability in vehicle. Dealer and gm informed as this is a serious safety issue.
Engine power dropped significantly on a two lane hwy. Traveling at 60 mph.almost got rear ended and experienced road rage from driver behind me. Scary.i then noticed a service traction control warning, and engine speed reduction notice.cruise control would not function.this warning will clear itself but continues to occur. I took it to my mechanic several times and they can not identify it even when the warning and condition is active.veh. Mileage 126700.
Driving home one night after just having my vehicle repaired a few weeks earlier, without warning, my vehicle began to stall. Just before the stall it was driving completely normal with no issues at all. Suddenly the check engine light came on along with the messages of service stabiltrack, traction control disabled, and low engine power. When i took the vehicle to the dealer i bought it from i was told that there was an aftermarket senondary air check valve that was causing the issue. With this they gave me the following codes; p0068, p0340, p0651, and p2135. Due to me just recently getting this part replaced this past february i took it back to the mechanic that replaced it. When i received the vehicle back it would no longer even start. The mechanic then informed me that the air valve would not cause this issue and there was something else wrong with the vehicle and to take it to another dealer. When that was done i was told a second time that it was the air valve. I have now come out of pocket twice for tows that i can't afford. Along with paying for an expensive part possibly twice. Vehicle only has 50k miles on it and has never given me any issues until this year.
On 8/15/14 we came out to the vehicle and it would not start.no power at all and the key would not come out of it.left the vehicle sit overnight and same thing in the morning on 8/16/14.we called and got a jump from a tow truck and drove the vehicle home.while traveling home on the interstate (70 mph), my husband noticed that when he turned the driving lights on the vehicle shut off.(luckily he knew what to do and managed to not kill all of us in the vehicle and anyone around the vehicle; (2 adults and 2 children in vehicle;) he also noticed that when hesignaled a lane switch the cruise control would turn itself off.we got the vehicle back to our house, waited 15 minutes and tried restarting and the battery was completely dead again.(no dome light, bells or anything when opening the door).since then, he has tried putting a different battery in it and we get the same results.when we got home we did a google search and found several others that this same thing has happened too.luckily no one has been killed from it but it is extremely scary when your vehicle turns off doing 70 mph.i would also like to inform you that there was no warning whatsoever that the battery was low or there were any electrical complications going on with the vehicle.there is no voltage meter anywhere on the vehicle.no warning lights came on either.
I received a recall notice from a dealership and i checked the nhtsa website and it shows no recalls have been announced for my vin number. I read an article on the ftc website that dealerships are being sued by sending fake recalls to people. This appears to be one of them.
Igntion startermakes the car not to start it will run the battery down and effects the starter and altenator
On or about may 17, 2015, i received notice from the chevrolet division of general motors that my vehicle "may have a broken solder connection within the accelerator pedal position (app) sensor. This condition may result in reduced engine power and loss of traction control assist." according to them, i will know when my information center displays the warning and then they will be willing to correct their poor workmanship, but not until that time. Gm goes on to inform me that i may be without my car for an extended length of time while they order parts and do repairs. I don't see why i should be the one who will be inconvenienced for their lack of proper workmanship. Furthermore, i feel there is a safety issue here also. Gm needs to correct this problem before it causes needless harm to someone.
Gear will not go out of park. This issue has happened on numerous occasions and the car has to be towed. This is not safe as there is no warning and this can occur at any given time or place.
The transmission shifter lever is stuck in park and the key is stuck in the ignition switch due to a very poor electrical design. The electrical wires attached to the connector that operates the solenoid that unlocks the transmission shifter button in the park position and that also connects to the ignition switch and operates various functions such as releasing the ignition key and allows the vehicle electrical system to be completely turned off ,breaks off due to electrical wires being too short and the back and forth movement of the shifter . Checking the onlineblogs this is a known issue that has been happening on several gm vehicles for some time without any recalls despite constant customer complaints due to the very poor design.some dealers have suggested leaving the key in the ignition switch and unlocking and locking the vehicle with the key fob. This invites vehicle theft and by not having the electrical system completely turned off, the battery runs down as the accessories and ignition is still turned on and the transmission lights on the instrument panel remains lighted.some customers have had repeat reoccurrences after having the issue repaired at a cost of between $500 and $600.after inspecting the operation of the shifter and the affect it has on the electrical wiring it is obvious that the wiring will fail and in the blogs as early as whilst under warrantee.i am concerned if there are any other issues that may occur especially safety ones as there is 5 wires i do not know the function of each wire .can you please investigate this issue.
As i was driving on a state route, alerts appeared for "service traction control" and then "service stabilitrak" followed by "engine power reduced". The engine light also came on. I pulled over and shut the car off, waiting a few minutes before restarting. The messages stopped, but the engine light was still on. I drove a few more miles and approached the on-ramp to the interstate. As i accelerated to merge onto the interstate, the same alerts came back on in addition to "starting disabled, service throttle". Shortly thereafter, my car became completely disabled and shut down as i was on the interstate- the engine cut off, no power steering, no acceleration!! thankfully, i was able to safely pull off the side of the interstate. I had the vehicle towed and the car started right up and seems to run fine at the repair shop. Worried when and where it will happen again.
When starting car getting issue stating service stabilitrak...sometimes thecar is very light when trying to start up. There are times where i am turning my car on and it seems the electric has reset and all controls and radio are now reset.i am getting issues
Every other week or so i get the "engine power reduced/ service stabiltrack/ service traction control" and the car will loose power. After an hour or so of sitting with the car off, it resets and the check engine light stays on until that eventually also resets. Today i was driving the same trouble codes came on and the car completely lost power i had no ability to accelerate, the power steering was disengaged it also mentioned something about the throttle body this time. Luckily i pulled into a nearby parking lot and the car reset after sitting for about an hour. This warning light and the reduced engine power has been an ongoing issue but i never lost complete power to the engine and steering light until today. This is an unacceptable issue that is ongoing with many gm owners. There needs to be a recall immediately!
According to your website there are four (4) recall items for this car' lower control arm, seatbelt assemble anchorage passenger pressure sensor wires and ignition cut off. I have contracted ben mynatt chevrolet dealership at 281 concord pkwy s, concord, nc 28027 regarding these recalls. According to ben mynatt chevrolet these recalls do not assist. Please confirm. I also see that there are 313 complaints but 0 investigations.
The vehicle was in motion about 45 miles an hr when it began to suddenly lose speed once it stopped i was able to coast it to the light. I cut the car off an it started back up. I didn't understand why it did that so i proceeded to find a near gas station.. It started to run again and i proceeded to go home when it did it again (lost speed while the engine was running) still don't know what the problem is had the alternator and battery checked and both are fine.. This was very dangerous!
When turning left the vehicle makes a grinding noise and the warning light to service stabilitrak, service traction control, and service abs come on. This is more noticeable at low speeds or when turning from a stopped position. The vehicle also shakes when accelerating or maintaining any sleek greater than 25mph. The shake is most noticeable between 45-60mph, and becomes less noticeable between 61-70mph.
My air bags keep making a loud noise every few minutes.
My chevy impala when in motion has signals for service stabilitrac, the check engine comes on and the a message that says reduced engine power shows up. It seems like alot of impala owners are experiencing this and something should be done! the stabilitack goes off and the check engine ligts stays on but usually goes off, and then a few days later it will happen again.
Recently i took my 2010 chevy impalato be serviced for a loud ticking noise coming from the dash board by the air conditioner vents, by researching a little before i took it in to be serviced it was said to be a known problem for several years in these cars.i think this should be a recall. I explained that to him and he said because it is not a safety issue it is not considered for recall. I disagree the ticking comes out of know where it is loud and does not stop it could drive someone insane not to mention cause an accident because you are trying anything and everything to get it to stop . Sometimes it does but then starts right up again very stressful to say the least especially when it happens while you are driving. I feel that chevrolet should have had this known actuator problem recalled and fixed several years ago when they knew and still know that it is a problem.in my oppinion it is a safety issue the loud ticking comes out of know where sometimes when you are driving it scares and startles you.it potentially can cause an accident.this has been going on for years i think cheverolet should be held reponsible for this defect and not make the consumer pay for their problem with this car that has been since atleast 2008 and is still not fixed .
I was driving and making a left turn and all of the sudden the car started shaking very hard. And it made like a zooming sound and all the power went out.the service traction control came up on the dash board.the motor icon started flashing.the brakes were not working properly and then it just stopped.had to put it in neutral and push it to the side of the street.thank god there was a parking space.
When you crank it up it sounds loud. As you press the gas it has rattling noise underneath the car. Loss of power you haveto press the pedal down to the floor just to get up some speed. Using tons of gas. Has smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Strong odor of gas and rotten eggs. The catalytic converter is completely rusted out underneath.
Traction control, stabiltrak system engine light comes on reduced engine power, this has happen a lot over the couple months.

2010 chevrolet impala.consumer writes in regards tovehicle sudden acceleration caused by sticky throttle accidents before receiving accelerator pedal position pedal sensor and throttle position sensor recall notices.the consumer stated she was backing out of the driveway, when the vehicle took off like a missile. It traveled across the street, jumped a curb and hit a parked vehicle in the driveway causing damage to both vehicles. The dealer claimed there was nothing wrong with the accelerator. However, the accident was caused by a sticky throttle. When the second accident occurred, the consumer was attempting to back the vehicle up, but instead it accelerated backwards at a high rate of speed making a high pitch whining noise. The consumer quickly applied the brake. However, it not reduce the speed. The consumer hit an oak tree, and in doing so, caused the tree to fall on the vehicle. The vehicle was totaled. Between the first and second accident, the throttle was repaired and the accelerator was replaced.
While driving northbound on i-75 in southern ky, the car suddenly lurched a little and "traction control" and "stabilization" errors displayed followed by "reducing power."and, the check engine light came on.i called my chevy dealer and asked if it was safe to continue driving - they said yes, as long as the check engine light wasn't flashing.we went about 5 - 10 more miles and the display flashed something about throttle problem and then "shutting down engine", which it did immediately with no warning while we were doing about 70 - 75mph in the middle of the 3 northbound lanes of i-75. I had to try to steer to the shoulder with no power steering or brakes.once there, i tried to restart the car and nothing happened - it displayed "starter disabled."we called our road service and they took our info, found the nearest chevy dealer who said they could work on it asap if we got it in there.while they were working on setting up a tow i tried starting it again. It started but the check engine was still on.i tried driving a little along the shoulder and it seemed ok so i said we'd try driving to the dealer rather than wait for a tow truck.we made it. They got on it fairly quickly and found the problem was the gas pedal position sensor.we were fortunate that the traffic was light and i could safely pull off.i hate to think what the results would have been if this had happened earlier as we were traveling thru atlanta with its 6 lanes of heavy traffic.suddenly losing power and control in that traffic would probably have caused one of those multi-vehicle accidents that make the national news.what kind of incompetent programming of the car's computer would trigger a full, instant shutdown because of a faulty accelerator pedal position sensor?i would suggest an immediate recall to re-flash the computer to eliminate the no-warning shut down.

Driving home friday night 12/26/12 on cruise set at 65, bang, car dropped power drastically, kicked off cruise, and the three rotating messages appeared on dash, 1)service stabilitrak, 2)service traction control, & 3)engine power reduced. Both orange placards lit up on dash, service engine and traction. Pulled out of traffic and re started the car. Was able to drive at normal speeds but codes still rotating and placards still lit. Couldn't get it into the shop until monday 12/31/12. When i started it up to take it in, codes were all cleared and car ran just fine. Dealership told me it was the pedal sensor and would cost me $275 to repair. How can we get gm to do a recall on this on going issue? this is a 2010 chevy impala lt with 45000 on it. This repair should be covered under warranty and i was told it is not.there have been numerous individuals with this same sensor failing at about 45000 miles.a sudden drop in power to a speed of 25 while driving at highway speeds is very dangerous.it is amazing with as many failures as have been reported to gm on just the edmunds car form site alone that there have not been any serious crashes.please take a good look at this issue and see if you can't get gm to recall these sensors and get them replaced with better ones.
Anti locking brake light coming on, service traction control, service stabiltrac ,service electronic stability control. Had all checked, said it was a right drive wheel bearing, replaced the wheel bearing. Still have the same problem.
At the time of the first incident traction control light came on the low engine power light came on .speed dropped down to 15 mph. Had to pull over turn car off . Then restarted it again it was fine for a month . It repeated same problem. Now check engine light stays on .hdhad code read saying throttle cable and traction control.to me that is a serious issue. This is something that needs to be addressed. Highway driving this problem could cause an accident .i can see this has been a issue with general motors with impalas and other models since2008.how many of the same complaints would it take until its fixed .complaints keep coming up after throttle bodies replaced still having same problems.

I was traveling west bound on interstate 22 when the stabilitrak requires maintenance displayed across driver's information center.next the traction control light and display lights up followed by, reduced engine power, in which i lost almost all power to my vehicle.i was traveling around 70 mph in the left lane and had to navigate two lanes of traffic to reach a safe spot on the shoulder of the interstate.
Driving down busy hwy going 75 speed, engine power reduce message came on also traction control message, i been getting this message over a year in a half took it to a mechanic they couldn't seem to find anything wrong with it, since the message would go away after ten minutes or so i never taught was anything major till my car showed the message starter disabled service throttle came on basically letting me know my car was going to lock on me or something and with a few seconds my speed reduced more and i could not push d gas anymore i had to pull over to the side of the road in disbelief of what just happened and scared so i parked and turned off my car then i tried to turn it on and it wouldn't even start or make a starting noise the steeringwheel was locked and i couldn't do anything, i waited at least ten minutes and i tried again and it turned on the message was gone but the check engine was still on. Trough the day this incident didn't happen anymore but i went on line and i see a lot of people with the same model car as me are having the same problem!.
I have a 2010 chevrolet impala lt with 65,000 miles. I was almost in an accident.a deer ran onto the highway on may 12,2013. I was going 60 mph and then made a sudden stop. The next day my check engine light plus the traction control system light came on....now, i only had this car not even 2months and making payments and i am having problems with it (already).any other car that i had have in the past i made sudden stops and check engine lights never comes on. Whats going on with the chevrolet impalas?they look nice but they are sssoooo not worth the cost to purchase or to get repaired. This is the only bad investment i have ever made in my life. I should have stuck with my mazda. I will let it be known to anyone who ask me about chevrolet to dont even bothered.there are better cars than the chevrolet.this car is also a gas guzzler. I put $50 in the tank every 5 days when driving locally. I only work 10 minutes from my house. Everytime you stop you loose gas mileage on your dic the gas is great on the highway though. Like i said the worst investment i have ever made. Chevrolet....im so upset and disappointed.
Driving on the highway when the reduced power warning come onand car statesengine disabled...was able to pull off to the should and use the emergency brake to stop...chevy says its the throttle body and pedali had this replaced once before...looking it up on the web i found many others have had this issue repairedwith it only to come back...i believe this is a software defectand will kill some one...please check out this site edmunds.com and other linkson the internet...gm is turning a blind eye..
Driving 65mph on highway when "reduced engine power" and "service stabilitrak" lights came on and engine started to throttle down. Had no choice but to pull over onto left shoulder with a semi close behind. Turned car off for 1 minute and restarted andthe "reduced engine power and "service stabilitrak disappeared.how is this not a safety issue requiring a recall?
I was driving my car on the hwy going about 70-75 mph when it happened to me.the road condition was nice with no signs of water on the highway during the hours of 2 pm, great sunny day.the car jerked on me like the throttle was going down.afterwards the car jerked again and the traction light notification started to beep and the car idled down and i couldn't increase my speed.i continued on the hwy assuming it would rectify itself but my girl (who mainly drives the car), informed me it's been doing this for over the past year off and on probably once every other month.that the weather condition didn't matter it would pop up and slow down and she'd have to pull over and wait about 10 minutes after turning off the car to turn it back on to be able to continue about her day normally.i continued to drive but it never did fix itself.i had to finally take an exit and stopped at a gas station.might as well take a break while.after about 10-15 minutes, i cranked the car and the issue seemed to resolve itself and i had no further problems throughout the rest of the day.
Driving home one night after just having my vehicle repaired a few weeks earlier, without warning, my vehicle began to stall.

My car is having issues with the service traction control, engine power reduced and will shut down. This has happened to me over 5 times now. I can't even pick up speed after this happens. I was on the highway one time doing about 65 and the car just shut down, i was on an incline/ramp and an 18 wheeler was behind me and i could have been killed. I have taken the car into to get the codes ran but can not seem to get to the root cause. I am thinking about just giving the car back and having it go on my credit.
The traction control light and the abs light came on at the same time and its saying service tractioncontrol system/service stabilatrak system and also service assited brake control system i did some research and i found out this is a common problem with these cars and should be addressed by gm to be fixed at their cost not mine

My wife was driving on interstate and all of a sudden lights start flashing on dash board saying traction control, engine performance reduced and check engine light comes on. Car completely shuts down on major highway. Gm needs to do something!!!! before someone seriously gets hurt or worse. Went toauto shop and they said it is the accelerator pedal sensor gone bad already at 56,103 ?i just bought the car, and only had it for 1 year. I will never buy anything gm makes orrecommended there vehicles to family or friends this is ridiculous. Someone needs to care about public safety because obviously they do not.pleasedo a recall and save a life !!!!!
While driving,reduce power in engine.check stability trac,and lost acceleration.the car shut off in the middle of the freeway.restared after a 10 minute wait.check engine light was on, but now off.happen from time to time.
Takata recall hello i have a chevy impala 2010 as i was driving on the highway when all of a sudden my i got the engine power is reduced,service traction control and service stabilitrak and the car keep on yanking and the stearing wheel got hard and i was scared , when i turn my car off the check engine goes away but then when im going to use my car again and im driving on the street the car deaccelerates and starts yanking and i get the same messages engine power is reduced.
The transmission go out at any time while you're driving it'll just stopped in the middle of traffic which can cause an accident the company chevrolet new that they put bad transmission in those cars and lights blink on and off. Electrical issue the speedometer and the gas meter in moves by itself when the car is off and when you are driving the car it'll move by itself displaying accurate information and that's very dangerous i was on the highway in the transmission just went out in cars almost ran into me i like to buy that day because of the transmission everybody i know with this car has the same issue something really needs to be done about it before someone dies
It had snowed overnight and i was driving 60 miles per hour going downhill when the traction control light and the engine light came on and then where the odometer reading is it said engine power reduced and then check traction control and check stabilizer.i did make it to work as the car shock as the car felt like it was going to die.i did let it sit all day while i was at work and then when i started it the engine light was still on and it ran ok.i took it across the street and parked it at the chevrolet dealership and since it is sunday they are not open and i will stop by in the morning to let them know what is wrong to have them check it out.we have had this car for a year and considering not owning another chevy.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. While driving 35 mph, the "engine power reduced" and "service traction control" warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the accelerator pedal position sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the number to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.
I don't remember the exact date, but approximately 2 yrs ago, i began seeing the sequence of messages, "service traction control, service stabilitrak, engine power reduced," and the engine light comes on along with the traction control system light. The car speed was obviously reduced and i couldn't really accelerate.i took the car back to carmax and they said they couldn't find anything and did not know what i was talking about.it happens sporadically, but seemingly always on the interstate while i'm traveling around 65--70 mph.this is very dangerous, and i've been trying to research what needs to be fixed.i do not understand why this is not a recall item.i think this will be the last chevy i purchase!
Major safety issue!while driving on the expressway hours from home reduced engine power/service traction control/check engine lights came on. Cruise control disabled as well. Car stopped on the expressway, steering wheel locked up. Luckily we were able to coast to the side otherwise this could have been a disaster! vehicle was towed to a nearby service station where it is currently located. There are several complaints out there like this.gm needs to recall and fix this problem!
Car began showing stabilitrak service, traction control service, reduced engine power and shut off while driving on interstate 35, almost causing a major traffic accident , pulled to side of interstate comm center says ingnition disabledcar wont do anything when key was turned . I then sat approximatley 5 mins car starts with no codes but check engine light . I cannot have this happening means i drive 40 miles to wrk a day and cant afford to throw parts at the problem as all gm service centers hsve been with no solution
While driving down i 80 west of princeton ill the check engine light came on followed by the check traction control light .the dash then light up like a christmas tree with lights i had never seen and can not duplicate with turning the key to on .the car immediately died and i lost power steering and brakes .i got the car stopped safely .i called a mechanic in the town i live in and he asked if it would start again. Earlier when i tried to start itacted as though the battery was dead. This time it started and i drove it home .a local repair shopreplaced the gas pedal .i had bought this car new and it has never been in a crash or had any repairs done besides routine service. No one was hurt but this car should not have shut off at 70 mph because of a defective sensor on a gas pedal.i am a retired state trooper and i am sure my training saved me from being in an accident yesterday because i happened to have other cars and semi s driving near me.
I was driving at approximately 30mph when i approached a curved and took my foot of the gas pedal and the car sped up to 40 when i hit the brake .i am the brake worked.now it happens more often .i believe this should be investigated before someone get hurt.

Wiper stopped working while driving on expressway on heavy rain there is no power from fuse to wiper have checked everything possible .seatbelt sometimes doesn't lock on passenger side and sometimes it comes off on its own knocking noise in front dash board and it seems like there are too many problems with these chevy unbelievable but no recalls. Refuse to recommend chevy cars to anyone!
When there is any movement to the car before starting there is a knocking that sounds like it is coming from the air vent on the passenger side; possible actuator door ?? also, when switching between fresh and recirculated air the knocking starts and lasts 1 - 2 minutes. The noise is getting louder and i have noticed that when the temperature drops below 36 degrees the windows fog completely and running the defroster at it's maximum speed will not clear the windows. I have to wipe the excess condensation with a towel to maintain visibility. May have to do with the actuator door being stuck and interferes with the defroster?? i have tried using rain-x anti-fog wipes to no avail. Need some help gm.
While driving on the interstate my visibility became very difficult to be able to continue driving. My windshield wipers stop working, so i had to pull off the interstate because of poor visibility. The motor and the transmitter in the wipers are working but they are not moving at all on the windshield.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the rear window defrosting system failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a diagnostic was performed, which located the failure at the rear defrost wiring harness. The manufacturer advised that the failure was caused by ordinary wear and tear. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 65,000.
The rear defroster stopped working.after investigating the issue i discover the electricalharness connectors holding the wiring for the rear defroster(and all other wires) is burnt., the electrical connectors are harnesses for wiring leading form the engine area, to the rear of the vehicle for all electrical components, including the rear defroster.visibly you can see the area that is burnt for the rear defroster.the wiring for the rear defroster is not fused, and in my opinion is a fire hazard.while doing research on this issue i discover that other owners have had these issues, and is very prominent in impala's between 2006 and up.with out a fuse for the rear defroster there is no safety mechanism preventing a short, or burn out of the components, thus creating the potential for a fire inside the compartment of the vehicle, and the rear defrost not to work.
It doesn't matter if the car is running or not the actuators to the air conditioner and heating unit start clicking and making a loud noise.after a few minutes it will stop.i went and had it checked by the dealership and was told it would cost between 500 and 600 dollars to fix.in any event i have talked to several people who own impalas and they have had the same problem.my sister was one of those people.she had to take her car back twice before it was repaired correctly.apparently the computer chip in these cars are defective. The clicking noise happens even when the car is sitting in the garage and it is storming outside.i feel this is a manufacturing problem and general motors should take care of the problem without any out of pocket money from the consumer.after all the taxpayers did bail you out.
My key is stuck in the ignition and will not turn back to the off position so i can get the key out.i have to disconnect my battery to keep the battery from draining completely when not in use and reconnect my battery when i need to drive my car,and i cannot lock my car because of this.i feel this is a safety issue because i could get injured while connecting or disconnecting my battery and i cannot secure my car.the passenger air bag indicator is on.it was not on when i purchased this used car but it came on at approximately 70,000 miles.my rear defroster barely works.the speedometer sticks at zero then starts working for a few tenths of a mile then goes back to zero again. I have to guess what speed i am going.the speedometer started malfunctioning at about 68,000 miles.chevrolet refuses to repair any of the above at their expense.stating there is no recall on this vehicle.i have seen numerous complaints about the key getting stuck in the ignition on many models of chevrolet vehicles on the internet. Why isn't there a recall on these issues?

I had to have an actuator replaced on my 2010 chevrolet impala. When i called other mechanic shop (including gm),was uninformed that this is a common issue with impalas. I also had several coworkers with impalas have the same issue.considering this issue is so common in these vehicles,there should be a recall.
The contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. The contact stated the driver's side and passenger's side wheel hub bearings were replaced several times. While driving 5 mph and making turns there was an abnormal dry rubbing noise detected. The traction control and stability warning indicator lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the wheel bearing on several occasions. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
I was driving down the street and suddenly i heard a popping sound and i noticed the car wasn't accelerating normally so i made it to my destination and i started the car up went to put it in drive and it wouldn't accelerate is was though the car was in neutral so i put it in reverse and it went into reverse put it 3rd gear wouldn't accelerate the i tried 2cd gear and it drove kind of ruff so i then tried 1st gear and and i was able to make it home at 15 mph so i took the car to the chevy dealer i bought it from and to my surprise they say there were some defective parts in the transmission and they could rebuild the transmission for 2100 dollars and i would have to pay 850 to have it fixed because my car is out of warranty as 7/23/14the car has the airbag service light andtire sensor light that appears on the dashboard .
To whom it may concern:i am writing this letter on behalf of my parents for the great abuse that has been done to them. About 3 years ago they were really excited because for the first time in there life after living here for close to 40 years they would have bought a car from a dealership! a fairly new car, first car from a local agency in madera. The name of the dealer: madera chrysler jeep dodge.they sold my parents a defective from the beginning.they knew about the recalls since 10/13/2010 and 05/25/2010 this was before they even purchased the car 11/26/2011. They are doing unlawful sales to vulnerable poor customers and are not in compliance. According to general motors it is and was completely the car dealerships responsibility to fix these recalls (please see attached list of recalls). Their solution is to well purchase a new car from them. They still have our car and have made no intent to fix it.please help us put a stop to this bad and corrupt sales manager who takes advantage of hispanic latinos who don?t read or speak spanish.there are many families at risk who might buy a car that is defective and there can be a horrible catastrophe or death. Sincerely,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
