2016 Chevrolet Impala

SIDE DETECTION MODULE IS FAILING. I RESEARCHED AFTER MY DASHBOARD WON'T TURN ON, AND AFTER READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER IMPALA OWNERS, IT IS DUE TO THE SIDE DETECTION MODULES NOT WORKING PROPERLY. APPARENTLY WHEN THE MODULES FAIL THEY CAN CAUSE ALOT OF ELECTRICAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. CHEVY OR GM IS NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS, AND I DONT SEE THE NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM IN MOST PEOPLE'S IMPALA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AT FREEDOM CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (8008 MARVIN D LOVE FWY, DALLAS, TX 75237, (972) 649-0829). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,292. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON THE 24TH OF DECEMBER AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM LOCKED UP AND I COULD NO LONGER TURN THE VEHICLE. THE "CHECK POWER STEERING" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO "RESET THE ERROR CODE" AND INFORMED ME HE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN AND IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I LEFT THAT MECHANIC AND WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (PRESTON HOOD IN FORT WALTON BEACH). AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC THERE, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAVE RECENTLY SEPARATED FROM THE MILITARY AND WAS ON THE WAY TO MY NEW JOB ON NEW YEAR EVE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (AT INTERSTATE SPEED) AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO AN OFF RAMP WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND PARKED THE CAR. IT IS NOW AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PENSACOLA BEING DIAGNOSED AGAIN. A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE EASILY COST ME MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSES'. I CAN NO IONGER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH CONFIDENCE. I NEED A LONG TERM SOLUTION AND I NEED YOUR HELP !!!!!!

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE TRACTION STABILIZATION ERROR POPPED UP ON MY DASH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CAME TO A STOP AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE IT WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR NEVER SLID OR ANYTHING SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THE STABALIZATION ERROR WOULD COME ON AND THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAS DONE THIS. THE VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT DOES THIS. ONCE I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL SLOWLY TO GO AGAIN THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT JERKED. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ON OTHER FORUMS.
