My side detection system has failed and not working on my 2015 ltz. Blind spot light stays on even when car is off. It’s causing other lights going crazy on and off. No check engine light on just the side blind spot indicator lights stay on. My car only has 70k miles it’s been happening for 1 wk I’m afraid to drive it after reading online that a clients impala nearly caught on fire. I’m reading that there is a recall with 2015 impala # n172097060 side blind zone alert module water intrusion. Please advise if there is anything Chevy/GM can do for me. I’m afraid to drive car and feel it’s a hazard driving around with faulty blind spots light.

Taillight gasket failed and leaks water resulting in water leaking into trunk anytime it rains or go through car wash. This caused corrosion to the amplifier shorting it out, there is now no sound or on star available. It also caused the blind spot detection monitor to have issues and no longer work. Upon inspection when the vehicle is running the wires sometimes start smoking white. Dealer said there was no issue, obviously the radio doesn’t work, the screen doesn’t even light up, no backup camera, no sound warning if the forward collision system is engaged, no seatbelt ding, no blinker sounds, no rear detection system or cross traffic warning system.

WE ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS STUPID SBZA BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM, TWICE NOW, FIRST TIME WE HAD FIXED, 2.5 YRS AGO NOW, AT A $1000 COST TO US, AS MILEAGE WAS SLIGHTLY OVER THE QUALIFYING MILES WITH RECALL LETTER WE RECEIVED PRIOR TO HAVING BOTH MODULES REPLACED. THOSE BRAND NEW MODULES ONLY LASTED 16 MONTHS OR LESS AND WEVE BEEN DEALING WITH SAME SAFETY ISSUES FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, SOME DAYS WORSE THAN OTHERS. ITS A DUMB FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON BUT WE DONT HAVE ANOTHER $1000+ TO COME UP WITH!! PEOPLE LIKE US, WHO LIVE IN THE SNOW BELT AREAS AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH ROAD SALT AND CORROSION ARE GOING TO KEEP HAVING ISSUES WITH THEM, EVEN THOUGH WE KEEP OUR CAR AS CLEAN AS WE CAN!! ITS A PAIN IN OUR ASSES AND NOT OUR FAULT FOR A LOUSY STUPID DEVICE THAT WILL FAIL HERE!! THANK YOU!!

There is a bad sensor I believe on my impala- the passenger blind spot warning light is staying on all the time - even when the car is off.

15V465000 · Air Bags

Jul 24, 2015

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured April 15, 2013, to June 19, 2015, equipped with front vented-heated passenger seats. Accordingly, the Automatic Occupant Sensing (AOS) system may fail to suppress the front passenger air bag if a child seat is in the front passenger seat. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the front passenger air bag deploys with a child seat in the front passenger seat, it increases the risk of injury to the child.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will correct the calibration-learning error by preconditioning the empty seat, and also resetting the ECU to a seat zero-value, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15400.

Sep 9, 2014

In the affected vehicles, the electronic parking brake piston actuation arm may not fully retract causing the brake pads to stay partially engaged.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Brake pads that remain partially engaged with the rotors may cause excessive brake heat that may result in a fire.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the electronic parking brake software, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 14471.

Aug 8, 2014

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201, "Occupant Protection In Interior Impact."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The storage compartment door may not remain closed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.

Remedy: Parts to remedy this condition are not currently available. GM will send owners an interim notification in early October 2014, and will send a second letter when parts are available. At that time dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the console storage compartment door inertia latch, free of charge. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14476.
