2013 Chevrolet Impala

I WENT TO START MY CAR THE KEY WAS IMMEDIATELY "LOCKED" INSIDE THE IGNITION ..LOCKING EVERYTHING IN THE CAR UP, FROM THE BRAKES TO THE ELECTRICAL . YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TURN IT 4X (A,B,C,D(ON) IT WOULD NOT LET YOU GO PAST C. THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT, I HAD IT JUMPED IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY OUT . I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT HAD TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING RECALLED, BUT NO HALL CHEVROLET SAID IT WAS JUST THE BATTERY. SO WHEN YOUR BATTERY GOES BAD, IT IS NORMAL FOR THE KEY TO BE LOCKED ALMOST "EATEN" BY THE IGNITION. THERE WAS NO WARNING IT WAS THE BATTERY, NOTHING. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR 29 DAYS. I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS NO BATTERY? *TR

2013 CHEVY IMPALA WITH APPROXIMATELY 38860 MILES. 3.31.2015 DEVELOPED A GRINDING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHEN TURNING SHARP LEFT, CAUSES THE CAR TO HESITATE, MAKING IT A VERY DANGEROUS. OCCURRED A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP OPENED. I TOOK IT INTO BOWMAN CHEVY IN CLARKSTON THEY DROVE IT & IT DIDN'T OCCUR FOR THEM AND THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN, & WITH GREAT CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, JOE LUNGHAMER CHEVROLET IN WATERFORD. THEY DID KEEP MY CAR ALL DAY & GAVE ME A INVOICE THAT STATES: NPF OPERATING TO MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS AND MULTI-POINT INSPECTION WAS DONE. THEY GAVE MY CAR BACK & SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. SAD TO SAY GENERAL MOTORS MAY BE PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER, AS THEY DID MANY OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE RECALLING FOR THE IGNITION CONTROL. AT THIS TIME MY CAR IS CLOSE TO 3000 MILES OVER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, I BELIEVE THEY'D TRY HARDER IF IT WAS UNDER 36000 MILES. BOTH DEALERSHIPS SAID THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE. BOWMAN CHEVY SAID THE FEES WOULD START AT $100 TO DIAGNOSE, AND GO UP & MADE IT CLEAR IT COULD TAKE UP TO A WEEK OR MORE TO DIAGNOSE & TO WAIT UNTIL IT DOES IT ON A REGULAR BASIS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IT'S NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD AND I'M STILL PAYING ON. THERE ARE OTHERS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE THE SAME AS MINE, ALONG WITH DIFFERENT SITES AND IMPALA FORUMS THAT HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS. MY CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPERIENCE. I WANT THIS FILED SO OTHERS KNOW, MY CAR IS NOT SAFE.WHO HAS TO DIE TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT AND RECALLED? AGAIN, 2013 IMPALA - GRINDING NOISE WHEN MAKING SHARP LEFT AND HESITATES CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO [XXX] IF YOU ARE ABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 GOING BETWEEN 60 AND 65 ALL OF A SUDDEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE ENGINE REDUCTION POWER LIGHT, THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE SLOWS DOWN FROM 60 TO 20 MILES WHILE DRIVING ON A CROWED HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. PULL OVER BY THAT TIME I WAS BARELY MOVING TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND SAID IT WAS A BAD SENSOR IN THE ACCELERATOR. WELL THE LIGHT WHEN OFF FOR ABOUT A MONTH BUT IT STARTED AGAIN DOING THE SAME THING, BEGAN TO DO RESEARCH AND THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ON YOUTUBE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH. *TR

CAR HAS A GRINDING NOISE AND HESITATES WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP. ONLY HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AT THIS POINT. FEELS LIKE THE TRACTION CONTROL COMING ON FOR NO REASON. (BUT THEN I AM NOT A MECHANIC) NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR HESITATES AND PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THIS IS AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION. SOMETIMES IT MAY HAPPEN 5 TO 6 TIMES A DAY AND THEN IT STOPS AND DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AGAIN. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE RELATED TO WEATHER CONDITIONS AS IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. TOLD TO BRING IT BACK IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND GETS MORE FREQUENT. *TR
