2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS WATER INSIDE THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HALEY CHEVROLET (12400 TENNESSEE PLAZA, MIDLOTHIAN, VA 23112, (804) 818-7660) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULT AND REPAIR INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *LN*DT THE CONTACT HAS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE, AND STILL WATER MANAGES TO LEAK INTO THE TRUNK FROM ANOTHER LOCATION.

THE POWER STEERING ON MY VEHICLE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE EPXRESSWAY WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING. I RECEIVED AN ALERT ON MY DASH TO SERVICE POWER STERRING AND THAT WAS ALL. PER THE DEALERSHIP THIS WAS CAUSED BY A CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE STEERING SYSTEM WHEN A GEAR BECAME BOUND UP BY A BROKEN SUSPENSION LINE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT

WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON AND NOT IN MOTION THE DASH DISPLAYS A SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM MESSAGE AND THE BLIND SPOT DETECTORS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT LIGHT UP LIKE THEY SHOULD WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED. WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED AND ON ANY ROADS OR HIGHWAY, THE BLIND SPOT DETECTORS DO NOT LIGHT. WHEN ASSESSED BY A CHEVY MECHANIC THE SIDE DETECTION SENSORS WERE SWOLLEN AND . CORRODED. THIS SENSOR IS IN AN AREA WHERE IT IS UNPROTECTED FROM THE SNOW AND SALT. IT WILL COST ALMOST $2,000 TO REPLACE TWO SENSORS. IF NOT REPLACED I'M AFRAID THAT MY VEHICLES WILL START CATCHING FIRE OR HAVING OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LIKE OTHER 2015 IMPALA OWNERS HAD HAPPEN TO THEM IN THE PAST DUE TO THESE CORRODED SENSORS.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND ACCELERATING THE ABS ACTIVATES AND THE ABS LIGHT MOMENTARILY COMES ON. I JACKED UP THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND THAT I COULD CREATE THE ERROR BY JIGGLING THE WIRE TO THE ABS SENDING UNIT. GOOGLE THE ERROR AND NOTICE DOZENS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

BRAKE LIGHTS GASKETS ARE FAULTY FROM THE FACTORY AND ALLOW WATER TO FILL THE TRUNK WHEN IT RAINS. WHICH LEADS TO MOLD AND MILDEW SMELL THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. GM HAS PRODUCED A GASKET THAT IS "THICKER" AND CORRECTS THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL AND DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I'VE SPENT HUNDREDS AT DEALERSHIPS TRYING TO FIND FIND CAUSE OF THE WATER.

CRUSE CONTROL DEACTIVATES AND WON'T REACTIVATE WHILE CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SEEMS TO WORK AGAIN AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED THE ENGINE ALSO DIED. COASTED TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, WAITED A MINUTE AND CAR RESTARTED AND SEEMED FINE, BUT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME A FEW MINUTES LATER. I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC SO WAS IN NO IMMEDIATE DANGER, BUT WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ON A BUSY SIX LANE INTERSTATE. NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE SET BY THE COMPUTER SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL MODULE (SIDE DETECTION) HAS FAILED TWICE. HAVE TO DRIVE TO GET REPAIR WITH NO GAUGES, SIGNALS, OR HEAT. THIS COULD EASILY BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR WAS PARKED, UPON STARTING, GOT SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES INCLUDING SIDE DETECTION ISSUE, AIR BAG FAILURE, TIRE INFLATION FAILURE. NO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, HEAT - BUT THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT ELECTRICAL HEAT STILL WORK!

THERE IS A SLIGHT VIBRATION AROUND 20 TO 30 MPH AS GEARS ARE SHIFTING AND IT GOES AWAY...DOES IT REPEATEDLY AT SAME POSITION AND EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL...NO CODES OR LIGHTS ON DASH HAPPENS MOSTLY IN MOTION ON INCLINES AND EVEN GROUND AT SAME SPEED GROUPING

THE POWER STEERING CONTINUES TO GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL BE DRIVING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I CAME TO A STOP TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STILL WASN'T WORKING. I HAD TO GO BACK HOME AND FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO WORK. IT HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES I CAN NOT SOLELY RELY ON THAT CAR. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND A FIX OF THIS PROBLEM.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM LIGHT ON DASH SAY SERVICE BUT THE SIDE DETECTION LIGHT ONBTHE MIRROR STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF.
