2013 Chevrolet Impala

ABLE TO SHIFT GEAR POSITIONS BUT THE INDICATED SHIFT POSITION DOES NOT REPRESENT THE GEAR POSITION THE VEHICLE IS IN. WHEN I STOP AND PARK THE VEHICLE, I AM ABLE TO SHIFT THE LEVER TO THE "PARK" POSITION, BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT ACTUALLY IN PARK POSITION. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON. VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY IN PARK WHEN GEAR IS IN PARK POSITION. THE LIGHTEST TOUCH WILL KNOCK GEAR SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND CAR ROLLS AWAY.

STABILTRAK ABS TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ALL COME ON VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND POWER IS REDUCED. RESEARCHED AND FOUND 100'S OF REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE IMPALA AND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE LIGHT TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. FIX IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE IF YOUR MECHANICALLY / ELECTRICALLY INCLINED AS INVOLVES SPLICING IN A NEW WIRE HARNESS FOR THE ABS SENSOR. SAID HARNESS IS ABOUT $20 IT SHORTS OUT DUE TO INSUFFICIENT GAUGE OF WIRE USED ON ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL. REPLACE HARNESS HAS MUCH STURDIER GAUGE FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH SAYS. REPAIR SHOP QUOTED $700 TO REPAIR GLAD I TOLD THEM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. THEY HAVE A FLEET OF IMPALAS AS LOANERS SO THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOUGING PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY REPLACE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY ABS SENSOR AND WIRING HARNESS WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S THE ABS SENSOR PERIOD. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AFTER TURNING OR GOING OVER A BUMP WIRING THAT HAS BEEN WORE THRU DUE TO PLACEMENT OF WIRING IN A HIGH FRICTION AREA, WIRE WEARS THROUGH COATING EXPOSES WIRING THAT SHORTS OUT AND SENDS CODES TO COMPUTER CONCERNING ABS STABILTRAK AND TRACTION ASSIST CAUSES VEHICLE TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED CAUSED VEHICLE TO STALL AND NOT RESTART UNTIL PROBLEM CORRECTED. I'M SURE THEY ARE GOUGED FOR A THOUSAND $ OR MORE. WET ROAD CONDITIONS,EXTREME HEAT OR COLD,LEFT TURN WHILE BACKING, JARRING BUMPS, ALL TRIGGER THE DASH TO LIGHT UP LIKE CHRISTMAS TREE DINGING ALARM GOES OFF STEERING SHUDDERS POWER IS REDUCED. IT'S A HUGE DISTRACTION AND SAFETY CONCERN FOR SO MANY TO BE EXPERIENCING GM SHOULD STAND UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

DRIVER'S SIDE BACK DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM WILL BECOME STUCK, AND DOOR WILL REMAIN LOCKED DESPITE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. FIRST NOTICED WHEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AFTER BEING PUT IN PARK AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. OTHER DOORS UNAFFECTED, AND REAR PASSENGERS WERE ABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE VIA PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR. ONLY SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE REMOVING THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELING TO ACCESS THE LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (VARIES) BUT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILI-TRAC WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SHUDDERED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE ALSO RECURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REVERSED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHUDDERED AT SPEEDS EXCEEDING 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

I'VE HAD MY 2013 LT IMPALA FOR 39 MONTHS I AM CURRENTLY FINANCING THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THE ACTUATORS I KEEP REPEATING AND THEY KEEP GOING OUT CONSTANTLY AND THE REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE I'VE REPLACED THESE MULTIPLE TIMES AND AFTER A MONTH IT DOES THE PROBLEM AGAIN WHICH ENDED UP DRAINING MY BATTERY EACH TIME. I HAVE REPLACED MY BATTERY FOR A BRAND NEW ONE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE I GOT THE PROBLEM OF ALL 3 ACTUATOR FIXED AND HERE WE ARE NOW AND MY VEHICLE IS DEAD THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED BECAUSE THE ACTUATORS KEEP GOING OUT AND THE TICKING NOISE NEVER STOPS AND IT GOES EVEN WHEN I'M NOT PRESENT IN THE CAR AND RANDOM TIMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION*DT*JB
