2015 Chevrolet Impala

The "service stabilitrak" light and engine light has returned making the vehicle non-operational once again. I have spent over $2500 in the past 12 months at an authorized Chervrolet dealership attempting to repair this exclusive, patented General Motors safety system, however, the system continues to malfunction. I cannot be the only owner of a GM vehicle with this frustrating, expensive issue. Please assist with a recall and/or inquiry to GM/Chevrolet. Previous NHTSA tracking number 11444992.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY, BRAKE ASSIST, AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CANNON NISSAN OF OXFORD (479 MS-6, OXFORD, MS 38655, (662) 236-3300) WHO REPAIRED THE WIRING HARNESS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER REVVED UP WHEN STARTING. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE RECEPTORS ALONG WITH OTHER UNKNOWN REPAIRS NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I TOLD MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD MY MASS ENGINE AIRFLOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TWO DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. RETURN TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD MY O2 SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ALONG WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAID REDUCE SPEED. AT THIS POINT, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. REVIEWING THE CHEVROLET FORUMS AND IMPALA FORUMS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. READING SOME OF THE STORIES, I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY. AIRBAG THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE CAR ISN'T RECOGNIZING SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. THEY SAID TO ME THAT GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. I SPOKE WITH A GM REPRESENTATIVE WHO CONFIRMED THE RECALL. THE GM REPRESENTATIVE SAID ALTHOUGH THE CODE IS SHOWN ON THE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED AT THE CERTIFIED DEALER MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED; HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF MY COST. HE TOLD ME THAT IF GM EXPANDED THE RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VIN THEN I COULD SEND IN MY RECEIPT FOR A REFUND.

WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS OR BACKING UP GRINDING NOISE TOOK IT TO INDEPENDENT SHOP REPLACED WHEEL BEARING STILL CONTINUED REPLACED OTHER WHEEL BEARING AT THAT TIME RACK AND PINION WAS LEAKING HAD THAT REPLACED 2 DIFFERENT TRIPS TO THE SHOP AND AROUND 2000 AFTER ABOUT 6 WEEKS STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. I START TO LOOK INTO IT AND I SEE A LOT OF FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS I BELIEVE IT'S THE ABS WIRE HARNESS IS TO SHORT AND WITH BRAKE OVER TIME. I FEEL IF I FIX THIS WITH A NEW HARNESS IT WILL JUST BREAK AGAIN. MY NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND MAKE A NEW HARNESS. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCT 16 WITH ABOUT 40K STARTED TO HAPPEN NOT LONG AFTER VERY INTERMITTENT UNTIL MAY WHEN I COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH OUT STABILATRAK AND ABS LIGHTS GOING OFF WHEN I TOOK IT IN LIKE I SAID 6 WEEKS LATER JUST AS BAD AND OUT THE MONEY

WHENEVER I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THE STABILITRACK AND ABS DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND THE READ-OUT PANEL SAYS BOTH SYSTEMS NEED SERVICE AND THESE LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE SYSTEMS SHUT-OFF MAKING THE VEHICLE LESS SAFE. I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT THE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS DRIVE AND ITS WARM OUT. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO THE RELATIVELY NEW CAR WITH BARELY 50,000 MILES. THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN WITH THE STABILITRACK AND ABS SYSTEMS WORKING PROPERLY. I'VE LOOKING INTO THIS ON-LINE AND IT APPEARS MANY PEOPLE WITH IMPALA'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. PEOPLE HAVE PAID TO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES REPLACE, BRAKES REPLACE, SENSORS REPLACES, ONLY TO HAVE THE "SERVICE" LIGHT COME BACK ON SOON AFTER THE SERVICE HAS BEEN COMPLETED. FROM MY READING, IT APPEARS GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU

MY SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM HAS FAILED AND NOT WORKING ON MY 2015 CHEVY IMPALA LT. MY CAR NEARLY CAUGHT ON FIRE TWICE NOW. WHITE SMOKE WAS BILLOWING FROM MY TAILLIGHTS AND BEFORE THAT MY ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT DEAD. AT FIRST IT SAID TO HAVE IT SERVICED. THEN MY FOB WOULD NO LONGER UNLOCK MY DOORS WITHOUT MANUALLY USING IT, THE SAME DAY MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD ALL SORTS OF LIGHTS AND WARNINGS GO OFF. MY WHOLE COMPUTER SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE THUS NOT BEING ABLE TO START MY CAR. AFTER GETTING MY CAR STARTED, I DID NOT HAVE ANY GAUGES, LIGHTS,NOTHING. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING

SENSORS ON THE BACK BUMPER WENT BAD DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING IN, SCREWED UP ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS THE BRAINS OF THE VEHICLE. CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS CAR, TONS OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE SENSORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HAVING TO PURCHASE THEM. THE REPAIR SHOP CANNOT EVEN BE GIVEN AN EXPECTANT DATE THAT THE SENSORS AND WIRING HEIRNESS WILL BE AVAILABLE. RECALL THESES CARS CHEVY, THEY KNOW THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, THIS IS A $1500 FIX THAT THE CUSTOMER IS LEFT TO PAY. WHEN THEY KNOW TONS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THIS VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE VERY EXACT SOME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE ISSUES.

STARTED WITH SIDE DETECTION LIGHT NOT GOING OFF. THEN SERVICE FOR SIDE DETECTION CAME ON. WITHIN A WEEK I HAD MULTIPLE ERRORS AND SERVICES SUCH AS REAR CAMERA, FRONT CAMERA, COLLISON PREP, PARK ASSIST. REPLACED FUSES EVEN THOUGH NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THEM. SAME LIGHTS. AS THE DAYS GO ON... I AM EXPERIENCING TROUBLES WITH CAR STARTING HAVING TO MANUALLY START/INSERT FOB INTO CENTER CONSOLE. HEATING AND ELECTRICAL INSIDE CAR NOT WORKING, STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IT WAS FOGGY AND OBVIOUSLY I COULDN'T DEFROST MY WINDOWS. RESTARTED CAR NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEN HEAT POPPED BACK ON. ALSO IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT STATES KEY FOB NOT DETECTED AND IT'S LITERALLY IN THE CUP HOLDER. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY RECENTLY AT THE DEALER SO IT IS NOT A FAULTY FOB OR BATTERY. MY TRUNK HAS BEEN JUST POPPING OPEN FOR NO REASON AND SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT ALSO WHILE STATIONARY. FOR SOME REASON MY POWER STEERING IS NOW ACTING LIKE IT IS OUT OF FLUID AND GRINDING HOWEVER ALL FLUID IS FULL. IT SEEMS TO BE ALL ELECTRICAL AND VERY SCARY AND UNPREDICTABLE.
