2017 Chevrolet Impala

NOV 2018: CENTER CONSOLE / TV FAILURE INCLUDING BACK-UP CAMERA ALONG WITH INFOTAINMENT. OCCURRED JUST AFTER 36,000 MILES, THUS GM WARRANTY DID NOT COVER AND REPAIR COST FOR HMI MODULE = $732 THOUGH WE DO HAVE A 3RD PARTY EXT. WARRANTY, WE STILL PAID $200+ OUT OF POCKET AND FEEL IT IRRESPONSIBLE FOR GM ELECTRONICS TO FAIL JUST 1 YEAR AFTER MODEL YEAR (AS ELECTRONICS NORMALLY SHOULD NOT RELATE TO # MILES) - SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT CHEVROLET SENIOR SUPPORT BY PHONE TO DISCUSS SITUATION WENT UNANSWERED. DURING THE TIME THE CONSOLE WAS OUT (BUT CAR STILL DRIVE-ABLE), WE HAD REDUCED REAR VISIBILITY AND WERE MORE FEARFUL ABOUT BACKING UP, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITH MANY CHILDREN PRESENT.

POOR FRONT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS LIGHT UP THE ROAD ONLY SHOWING THE BOTTOM 40% OF THE WINDSHIELD AND POOR LIGHTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.THE TOP 60% OF THE WINDSHIELD AS YOU LOOK FORWARD IS DARK THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY SHOW 3 POSSIBLE 4 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF THE CAR. AT 60 MPH YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE FARTHER THAN OVER 6 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD ON LOW BEAMS NOT 3 AND NOT OVER 1/2 YOUR VISIBILITY IN THE DARK VERY UNSAFE.
