• 12/31/2020· SUSPENSION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM FAILURE. SPECIAL COVERAGE N172096060. ALSO THERE IS A CREAKING NOICE IN FRONT AREA ONCE I PUT CAR IN DRIVE. WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON BRAKE THERE IS A LOT OF VIBRATION ON THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE.

• 12/31/2020· POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE

  CAR LOST POWER AND ENGINE WENT OUT. STABILITY TRACK IN ON.

• 12/31/2014· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH MY 2014 IMPALA IS THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD VERY WELL. THE LIGHT BEAM IS NARROW PROJECTING STRAIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. VERY LITTLE ILLUMINATION TO THE SIDES OF THE ROAD. THIS COMPLAINT MAY SOUND TRIVIAL BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU THAT I'M NOT CHEVY BASHING. THIS IMPALA IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR, I LOVE IT EXCEPT FOR THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR ME. IF I HAD TAKEN A TEST DRIVE AT NIGHT I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR. HARD TO TEST DRIVE AT NIGHT IN JULY. I EXPECTED MUCH BETTER LIGHTING ON A CAR LIKE THIS. A HALOGEN BULB IN A WELL DESIGNED AND POISONED FIXTURE WORKS GREAT. I COPIED THE ABOVE FROM A PRIOR COMPLAINT. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR AND THE NEW DESIGN. I WAS LOOKING ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD UPGRADE THE HEADLIGHTS( BETTER BULB OR SOMETHING ELSE) BECAUSE I TOO THOUGHT THAT THE LUMINATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS WAS SUB PAR. I FOUND THIS COMPLAINT SITE AND WANTED TO STATE MY DISSATISFACTION ALSO. THANKS. *JS

  BREAKS SQUEAL CONSTANTLY THEY ARE NEW PADS AND BREAKS CAN FIND ANY PROBLEMS HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL AUTO SHOPS AND DEALERSHIPS AND AS ABOUT ANY RECALL ISSUES IT SEEMS AS IF THEY ARE LOCKED UP I CAN NOT TAKE IT THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH CAR WASH IT WILL NOT GO UP ON THE ROLLERS THE BACK BRAKES ARE LIKE THEY HAVE LOCKED OR I HAVE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND IN REVERSE IS WHEN THEY ARE DRAGGING THIS IS THE FIRST COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE FOUND THAT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT COMPLAINTS OR ISSUES

• 12/29/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. 1ST TIME ON NOV 28,2014(12,314 MILES) AND THEN AGAIN ON DEC 28,2015(30,311 MILES). THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 12/04/15(29,448 MILES) AND THE DENTON,TX DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT WAS CLOSED SINCE IT WAS A SATURDAY AFTERNOON.HOWEVER WE WERE ADVISED THAT THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE HOME. LIGHT WENT OFF THE NEXT DAY AND THE WACO,TX DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE ON DECEMBER 21,2015 (29,848). ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON DECEMBER 26,2015. SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE. ALSO NOTE THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WAS REPLACED ON JUNE 06,2015 (21,408 MILES). THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN & OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES BUT ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED UNLESS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. NO CODES DISPLAYING. IT SEEMS THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND THE VEHICLE WILL NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP OR SENSOR EVERY 12,000 MILES.

• 12/28/2022· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  I was driving in a snowstorm and all of the sudden the ABS, Stabilitrak, and power steering went out. I'm frustrated that this is the 2nd electrical safety issue that I have experienced. Both of which have been reported by several drivers and still no recalls!

• 12/28/2014· STEERING

  ON 9/3/14 A NEW CHEVY IMPALA VEHICLE WAS LEASED TO ME WHILE UNDER A7/23/14 OPEN RECALL FOR POWER STEERING. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND THE TRANSACTION IS NOT LEGAL. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

• 12/27/2020· LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  THE FRONT CAMERA COLLISION, LANE DEPARTURE, BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM ARE ALL PART OF AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM THAT WARNS THE DRIVER. IN 2014, CHEVROLET LOCATED THESE MODULES IN THE REAR BUMPER AND DID NOT SUFFICIENTLY PROTECT THEM FROM THE WEATHER ELEMENTS, SO WATER GETS INTO THEM AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE, AND FAILURES FROM LOSING YOUR DASH GAUGES TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. CHEVY WAS NICE ENOUGH TO ISSUE A SERVICE ACTION, BUT LIMITED TO A 6 MONTH TIME FRAME FOR REPAIRS. THEY ISSUED N172097060, WHICH WAS AVAILABLE FROM APRIL 2019 TO JANUARY 2020. THIS WAS NICE IF IT FAILED DURING THAT TIME. MINE FAILED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OCTOBER 2017, WHICH WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, AND AGAIN IN APRIL OF 2020, WHICH WAS JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. CHEVY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE AGAIN BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF THE N172097060 RECALL DUE TO TIME, NOT MILEAGE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.I WAS READING THAT THERE WAS A LETTER SENT, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED IT. I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY, KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEMM.

• 12/26/2020· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE

  FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW, THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM IS FAILING. WHEN THIS SYSTEM FAILS IT SLOWLY TAKES OUT THE REST OF THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, EVEN THOSE NOT RELATED TO ANY COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT REPAIRED IT WAS OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY MEANING I HAD TO PAY THE APPROX. $1000 BILL. A YEAR OR SO LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM SAYING THAT THAT REPAIR WOULD NOW BE COVERED UP TO 6 YEARS/80,000 MILE AND IF I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR SUCH REPAIR THAT I COULD FILE A CLAIM AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PREVIOUS WORK. WELL AMAZINGLY THEY REIMBURSED ME FOR THE FIRST REPAIR, WHICH WAS GREAT! EXCEPT NOW, THE SAME EXACT THING HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND I AM NOW PAST THE 6 YEAR 80,000 MILE MARK. GM NEEDS TO REDESIGN THIS SYSTEM TO NOT BE PLACED IN HIGH MOISTURE AREAS OR AT THE VERY LEAST HAVE A MODULE/CONNECTOR THAT IS NOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER INTRUSION.

• 12/26/2017· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  I'VE HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY 2014 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ GETTING LOCKED UP WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURED 09/2017, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH, UPON SWITCHING LANES IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL JAMMED AND LOCKED FOR A SECOND AND THE ELECTRICAL POWER WENT OUT ON THE RADIO AND DASH. THE ALERTS THEN SAID "POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE' & "FRONT CAMERA' OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. THIS HAS HAPPENED VARIOUS TIMES SINCE ON CITY STREETS, ANOTHER MESSAGE I'VE SEEN HAS SAID SOMETHING ABOUT STABILITRAK. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE OCCURED ON 12/25/2017. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND TURNED RIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL JAMMED AND THE RADIO WENT OUT AND THE SAME MESSAGES CAME UP, I TOOK A VIDEO THIS TIME SO THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER 2014 CHEVY IMPALAS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING BUT WHEN SEARCHING UNDER MY VIN NUMBER THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR BUT I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A MISTAKE AND MY CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND A BIG CONCERN TO ME AS I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND ALMOST CRASHED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE. LUCKILY THE OTHER TIMES THIS HAS OCCURED I WAS ON CITY STREETS NOT DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED BUT REGARDLESS IT IS STILL A SAFETY HAZARD.

• 12/22/2016· POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  ON 12/21/16 WHILE MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE 10 IN TUCSON, AZ, THE VEHICLE WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN A "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" SIGN POPPED UP, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING AND SHIFTING DOWN THROUGH ALL GEARS NEARLY RED LINING THE RPMS AND CAUSING AN REAR-END COLLISION. WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREEWAY AND TOOK IT INTO LOCAL AUTO-ZONE FOR TESTING. THE TEST CAME BACK AS A "THROTTLE SENSOR MALFUNCTION". THE VEHICLE NOW DOESN'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE, AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 45 MPH WITHOUT SHAKING AND FEELING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO GIVE OUT. CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE COST WAS GOING TO VARY BETWEEN $400-1,000 WITH A $100 TEST FEE UP FRONT. I'VE ALSO READ NUMEROUS SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE FROM PEOPLE DRIVING CHEVROLET IMPALA FROM 2006-2016. THE CAR FEEL VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I FEEL IT COULD BE A DEATH TRAP AS THERE IS NO CONTROL OVER WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL CHOOSE TO DECELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THERE HAS BEEN NO MECHANICAL ISSUES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THROUGH NUMEROUS MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE UP-KEEPS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY SERVICE MANAGERS. *TR

• 12/22/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY

  THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A VEHICLE COLLISION WARNING DEVICE THAT IS INTENDED TO WARN THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE IN FRONT THAT YOU ARE TO CLOSE TO AND CLOSING RANGE WITHOUT BRAKING. ON ABOUT 1/2 DOZEN OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE'S EARLY DETECTION SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WITHOUT ANY VEHICLES IN FRONT. THESE OCCURRENCES SEEM TO BE ON DAYS WHEN IT IS RAINING AND THEIR ARE REFLECTIONS OFF THE ROAD, OR VERY SUNNY DAYS (AGAIN CAUSING REFLECTIONS). THE FLASHING LIGHT, LOUD ALARM, AND INTERRUPTION WITH REGULAR AUDIO IS VERY JARRING (SCARY). ON ONE OCCASION I APPLIED MY BRAKES VERY HARD BECAUSE OF THE ALARM (BUT THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT) - THIS ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND TO HIT ME. THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE DISENGAGED TO PREVENT A FALSE/POSITIVE ALARM. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE AND CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS WITHOUT RESULTS. *TR

  This car has exactly the same issues as reported in 15V465000 but Chevrolet refuses to acknowledge that this VIN should have been in their recall. The AOS systems in this Impala is improperly calibrated. My child in the front seat could be seriously injured. Chevrolet themselves verified this 2014 Impala has front vented-heated passenger seats. They still refuse to help in any way. This car does not turn the front passenger airbag on and off when it detects (or fails to detect) an adult occupant in that seat.
