2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

THE SIDE DETECTION MODULES IN MY 2015 IMPALA HAVE GONE BAD FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. THEY WERE REPLACED IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. THIS WAS MOSTLY COVERED THROUGH A SPECIAL "RECALL" TO REPAIR AND PREVENT A REOCCURRENCE OF THE FAILURE. NOW, IN DECEMBER ON 2020, I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME CONDITION. THEY DID NOT REPAIR THE MODULES TO PREVENT THE SAME CONDITION FROM ARISING AGAIN. THEY GET WET BECAUSE OF A BAD DESIGN AND FAULT OUT, LEADING TO CAR SHUTTING DOWN OR EVEN FIRE FROM HARNESS TO MODULES CONNECTION. GENERAL MOTORS AND/OR THE DEALERSHIP (SUBURBAN CADILLAC, NOW SHAHEEN CADILLAC OF LANSING MI) SIMPLY REPLACED DISFUNCTIONAL PARTS WITH THE EXACT SAME DISFUNCTIONAL PARTS. A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUOUSLY REPAY FOR A POSSIBLY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT THE COMPANY IS QUITE AWARE OF. I TRULY HOPE THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THIS IN THE FUTURE. THE REFUSAL TO ACCEPT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS DUE TO NEGLIGENT DESIGN AND INADEQUATE FIXES IS EVEN MORE ENRAGING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED HER CHILD WAS UNABLE TO UNLATCH THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT. THE CONTACT CALLED MADE THE LOCAL DEALER BIG M CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 704 N DIXIE BLVD, RADCLIFF, KY 40160, (270) 505-4830 AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED.

LEFT REAR BRAKE CALIPER FELL OFF AFTER 38329 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED BY PUMPING THE BRAKES!!

WHEN I TURN LEFT, THE ABS LIGHT/ TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY WHEEL BEARINGS AND IT'S STILL THE SAME PROBLEM

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE REVS TO HIGH RPMS AND A LOSS OF POWER TO THE WHEELS OCCURS. THIS HAPPENS MOST NOTABLY WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS WHILE CRUISING AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH AND UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND CODE P16CF WAS GIVEN AND TRACKED DIRECTLY TO THE VARIABLE TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY, BRAKE ASSIST, AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CANNON NISSAN OF OXFORD (479 MS-6, OXFORD, MS 38655, (662) 236-3300) WHO REPAIRED THE WIRING HARNESS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER REVVED UP WHEN STARTING. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE RECEPTORS ALONG WITH OTHER UNKNOWN REPAIRS NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING SENSOR (OBJECT SENSOR/ CONTROL MODULE) ON MY VEHICLE HAS GONE OUT. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH GOES BLACK. THEN IT CUTS BACK ON GOING HAYWIRE, ALL SORTS OF LIGHTS AND WARNINGS CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE CAR OUT, TURNING IT OFF TO SEE IF A RESTART WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SO I HAD TO TOW TO THE DEALER WHICH IN THIS PANDEMIC WAS CLOSED. WHEN THE GUY AT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS BAD HE SAID IT GOES BAD FROM GETTING WET. CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO GET WET NO? AFTER LOOKING ONLINE SOMEONE SAID THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REDESIGNED THE PART TO WORK BETTER, YET THEY WANT ME TO PAY ALMOST $1000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY FIXED FOR THE SAME REASON. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH SMOKE WAS DETECTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. UPON EXITING VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL EMERGING FROM ENGINE. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ROCKER ARM CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED HERRIN-GEAR CHEVROLET (1685 HIGH ST, JACKSON, MS 39202 601) 354-3882) WHOM INFORMED HER THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,928.

A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 55MPH AND DECIDED TO CHANGE LANES AND I NEARLY RAN INTO A VEHICLE THAT WAS PASSING ME AT THE TIME. THIS NEAR MISS OCCURRED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE BLIND SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE SYSTEM SENSORS AND WIRE HARNESSES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THIS WAS A DESIGN DEFECT IN GM'S SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM IN THAT IT WASN'T ADEQUATELY PROTECTED FROM NORMAL MOISTURE DAMAGE. SINCE THIS IS SUCH AN INHERENT AND SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, [XXX] VEHICLE OWNER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MAKER SAYING THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AOS. I TOOK MY CAR INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE LIGHT STARTED TO APPEAR AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE SAME PLACE AND NOW THEIR ARE SAYING MY SENSING DIAGNOSTIC MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS WAS SOMETHING NOT DONE CORRECTLY BY THE MANUFACTURER AND I SHOULDN'T BE LIABLE FOR IT. IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DON'T DEPLOY, OR THEY DEPLOY AT ANYTIME CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, I WILL PURSUE LEGAL ACTION.
