TRAFFIC SIGNALS CONSTANTLY FAIL TO WORK, USED TO BE ABLE TO PUSH HAZARD LIGHT BUTTON AND THEY WOULD COME BACK ON, NOW HAZARD LIGHTS WON'T WORK EITHER. HAVE ALMOST HAD 4 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE BLINKERS FAILED TO WORK, HAVE ALMOST BEEN CITED BY THE LOCAL POLICE UNTIL I PROVED IT WAS A MECHANICAL FAILURE. CAN'T AFFORD THE COST OF REPAIR, BECAUSE I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT WHEN IT FAILED, THOUGH IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, BECAUSE GMC AND DEALER WOULDN'T MAKE IT GOOD, AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. *NM

STOP & GO DRIVING. ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES. ALL LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING BUT RESET AFTER IGNITION TURN OFF/ TURN ON PROCEDURE AS DESCRIBED IN OWNERS MANUAL. NEXT DAY, SAME LIGHTS & WARNINGS. TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER ON 4/05/06. "COMPUTER CHECKED SYSTEM CODES P1189, P0135, C1216 IN SYSTEM. ITEMS TESTED PER TROUBLE TREE. ALL ITEMS TEST GOOD." NO CHARGE. NEXT DAY, 4/6/06, SAME WARNINGS! TAKE TO DEALER AGAIN WITHOUT RESETTING WARNINGS. NO COMPUTER SYSTEM CODES SHOWING, BUT NO INPUT SIGNAL FROM RIGHT FRONT HUB. DEALER REPLACES RIGHT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY - COST $479. VEHICLE SEEMS FINE, UNTIL ABOUT 4/20 WHEN BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATION COMES BACK AND WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF. I TURNED OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ON 4/25, WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM OFF, THE PEDAL VIBRATION WAS BACK AND THE ABS & TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. WENT BACK TO DEALER. ALTHOUGH THEY TOLD ME THE COMPUTER CHECK SHOW CODES OF C1222 AND C1226, THE CODES DO NOT SHOW ON MY INVOICE. CODE C1226 APPEARS ON NHTSA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ITEM NUMBER 10017271 FOR MY YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE. HOWEVER THE SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 3500 IS NOT KNOW TO THE DEALER AS A VALID TSB NUMBER, AND THEY COULD NOT LOCATE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT. DEALER "DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED EBTCM, AND PROGRAMMED SYSTEM" - COST $697. I FEEL THAT BY REPLACING THE "BRAIN" (EBTCM) AND PROGRAMMING IT, THE DEALER AND/OR THE MANUFACTURER MAY BE COVERING UP A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH EITHER ONE OR BOTH SYSTEMS, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE DEALER PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN A DANGEROUS POSITION BY FAILING TO DIAGNOSIS ANY PROBLEMS ON THE FIRST VISIT, AND THEN DOING IT AGAIN BY MAKING ME FEEL SAFE BY PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT PART THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EITHER SYSTEM! *NM

I GUESS I'M THE LUCKY ONE MY CAR SEEMS TO HAVE ALMOST EVERY COMPLAINT LISTED. THE SIDE AIR BAG CONTINUOUSLY TRIES TO ESCAPE FROM IT'S SEAT. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO MY BLINKERS STARTED TO WORK ONLY AS THEY FELT LIKE IT, HAVING READ CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, I TRIED TURNING ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS WHEN THEY WOULDN'T FUNCTION, THIS WOULD REMEDY THE BLINKER PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. HOWEVER, NOW MY BLINKERS DON'T WORK AT ALL AND MY HAZARDS DON'T EITHER. ABOUT THE SAME TIME MY CAR BEGAN SHUTTING OFF AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH NO WARNING. THEN I WENT ABOUT 1 1/2 MONTHS WITH NO STALLING PROBLEMS. THIS WEEK MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF DAILY MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER, STOP AND FEEL SAFE, ESPECIALLY WITH NO HAZARDS. THE CAR WILL GO TO THE CHEVY DEALER TODAY, WE'LL SEE WHAT THEY SAY. I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN YOU OFTEN DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COASTING TIME TO GET SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY ON A 3 OR MORE LANE HIGHWAY.

14V400000 · Electrical System:ignition
Jul 3, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.
