2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING COLUMN SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN OR REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO FIND A FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY REMOVED THE PART AND INSPECTED IT AND PUT THE PART BACK TOGETHER. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

WHEN YOU MOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT BACKWARDS IR FORWARD THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME . SINCE IT IS NOT A POWER SEAT IT JUST SO HAPPPENS WHEN MOVING IT MANUALLY

AT FIRST IT WAS WHEN BACKING UP AND TURNING SHARP. THE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE WOULD COME ON AND A GRINDING LIKE SOUND FROM THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL AREA. LATER IT INCLUDED THE ABS WARNING AND WOULD ALSO OCCUR AFTER BACKING WITH TURN AND GOING FORWARD AT THAT MOMENT. NOW RANDOMLY WHEN PULLING OUT AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. RECENTLY ALSO THE OIL PRESSURE LOW MESSAGE AND DUMMY LIGHT COME ON 3-4 TIMES BEFORE STOPPING (AND YES THE OIL PRESSURE IS GOOD WITH CORRECT OIL, TIRES, PRESSURE, BRAKES, SENSORS ALL CHECK GOOD). BEST GUESS DIAGNOSTICS IS SHORTING IN WIRING HARNESS THAT CAN NOT BE LOCATED UNTIL IT FAILS COMPLETELY. HOWEVER WITH GRABBING WITH TRACTION CONTROL WHEN PULLING OUT AND AIR BAG PROBLEMS IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2010 IMPALA WITH APPROXIMATELY 210000 MILES. WHEN I TURN ON THE VEHICLE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION SYSTEM INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES, I WILL REPORT THEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS WITH THIS ISSUE.
