2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL GRINDING NOISE FROM FRONT AND ABS ENGAGES THE BRAKES AND LOW TRACTION LIGHT FLASHES ON WHEN LEAVING A STOP OR A RED LIGHT OR AT ANY OTHER OCCASION THAT REQUIRES MAKING A LEFT TURN AFTER BEING STOPPED. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE.

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THE CAR LURCHES SLIGHTLY FORWARD AND MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE---LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. A MECHANIC CHECKED THE BALL BEARINGS IN THE WHEELS AND THEY WERE OKAY HE SAID. THIS NOISE STARTED A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT DOESN'T MAKE THIS NOISE EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT DOES IT REPEATEDLY IF MAKING A LEFT TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS, THE CAR HESITATES, AND THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE, WHILE TURNING. THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN.

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. MESSAGE CAME ON AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND CUT ENGINE POWER REDUCING SPEED TO 25MPH NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM OVER MULTIPLE YEARS WHY WAS THERE NO RECALL OR AT LEAST A NOTIFICATION THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM INSTEAD OF LETTING SOMEONE'S CAR SHUT DOWN ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING?

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR STANDARD OIL CHANGE. WHILE COMPLETING INSPECTION FORM THEY INDICATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN IS LEAKING. THEY RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT FOR $1,300.00. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 57,000 MILES ON IT. I TOLD THEM NOT TO REPLACE IT. THEY STATED YOU COULD HAVE A SMALL LEAK FOR MANY YEARS BUT IT WILL EVENTUALLY GET WORSE AND LEADING TO STEERING FAILURE. I ASKED ABOUT THIS BEING UNDER WARRANTY BUT OF COURSE I WAS 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT WITH NO ISSUES YET. I AM HOPING THAT A RECALL WILL BE RECOMMENDED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I MOSTLY DO HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH THIS VEHICLE AND PUT ON 70 MILES A DAY. HOPEFULLY ENOUGH UNFORTUNATE INDIVIDUALS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND WE CAN GET A RECALL STARTED.

OFTEN WHEN I ACCELERATE MY 2013 CHEVY IMPALA ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING, THE CAR WILL MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE AND ERRORS APPEAR FOR STABILITY TRACK AND ABS. THIS OCCURS ON BOTH PAVED AND SAND ROADS AND IN ANY ROAD CONDITION. I TOOK IT IN TO MY DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A CENSOR (FOR ABOUT $300 BUCKS WHEN IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE.) WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK, NOW IT'S BACK AND IN MANY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, VERY DANGEROUS. IT STARED AT ABOUT 30K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,936.

CAR LOSES POWER AND STABILITRAK WARNING COME ON WHILE DRIVING NO ENGINE POWER AT ALL .CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND STAYS ON TILL I SHUT OFF ENGINE AND TURN BACK ON ONLY THEN ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARS MY CAR ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES AND IS 3 YEAR OLD ITS HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY THREE TIME AND IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK TWICE NOW.

I HAVE A 2013 IMPALA, THE TRACTION CONTROL KICKS IN WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS FROM A STOP. THIS IS MY THIRD IMPALA; 2003, 2009 AND THIS 2013. ALL THREE WITH THE SAME ISSUE SO THIS IS MY LAST IMPALA. HEY GM, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!
