2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

THE BRAKE LIGHT IN THE WINDOW FLASHES ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME AND EVEN WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND SHUT OFF IT FLASHES AND WHEN IT IS IN MOTION. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK AND DEVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL WARNING IS ON AND SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 28000 MILES ON IT.

MY SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING ALL MY OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ACT UP.

4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING SLOW I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING, IT DOES COME BACK FAIRLY QUICKLY. I SEE A RECALL FOR A 2014 IMPALA THAT COVERS MY ISSUES EXACTLY, BUT WAS TOLD MY IMPALA IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL?

THE CAR HAS INTERMITTENT VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT WILL RUN FINE AND THEN THE NEXT TIME THE KEY FOB WONT OPEN THE DOOR, NO INTERIOR LIGHTS, IT WONT START...ABSOLUTELY NO POWER TO ANYTHING IN THE CAR. IT IS AS IF THE ENTIRE BATTERY WAS REMOVED. THEN LATER, IT WILL START RIGHT UP. TRYING TO JUMP START IT DOES NOTHING.THIS HAS LEFT ME COMPLETELY STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED 3 TIMES. BUT EACH TIME WHEN I GET IT TO THE MECHANIC, IT STARTS RIGHT UP. OTHER TIMES, THE CAR RUNS FINE BUT THE DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK AND LOCK ON THEIR OWN RAPIDLY OVER AND OVER. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE SITTING WITH THE CAR ON AND IN PARK. OTHER TIMES WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE SPUTTERS, THE RADIO DISPLAY FLASHES ON AND OFF, AND THE AC BLOWER CUTS OUT ALL AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE SPUTTERING STALLS THE ACCELERATION WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. OTHER TIMES JUST THE RADIO AND THE DISPLAY WILL GO OFF - SOMETIMES FOR DAYS & SOMETIMES JUST A FEW MINUTES, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE. OTHER TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL COMPLETELY STOP WORKING AND THE GAS GAGE REGISTERS NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE ON LONG DRIVES SO THAT I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING OR WHETHER I HAVE ENOUGH GAS. IT WILL THEN START BACK UP, BUT MAY BE DAYS LATER. I TOOK IT IN TO BE FIXED. THEY TOOK THE COMPUTER OUT FROM UNDER THE REAR WHEEL WELL AND SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. I DROVE THE CAR WITHOUT A COMPUTER FOR 8 MONTHS BUT BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEMS CONTINUING, I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW COMPUTER. THE CAR HAD TOO MANY MILES FOR THIS TO BE COVERED SO I PAID OVER $1500 FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. NOW IT IS 3 WEEKS AFTER GETTING THE NEW COMPUTER INSTALLED. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE CONTINUED. AND AGAIN TODAY, I WAS STRANDED WHEN I WENT OUT AFTER WORK AND FOUND IT DEAD AGAIN. IT IS BACK IN THE DEALER AGAIN.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I CAN DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON AND ON COMING VEHICLES EVER FLASH THEIR HEADLIGHTS HIGH BEAM ARE AS BRIGHT AS THE LOW BEAMS SHOULD BE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WITH THIS POOR LIGHTING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, CHECKING THE INTERNET THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS FILE WITH NHTSA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HUB SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,926.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2014 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ MARCH 2018. THE BACK TRUNK AREA WHERE SPARE TIRE IS HAS FILLED WITH WATER MULTIPLE TIMES LEADING TO MOLD WE HAVE BREATHED IN. WE HAVE TO KEEP CLEANING AND EMPTYING WATER OUT TO TRY AND KILL THE MOLD. THIS IS AWFUL. WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES MANY COMPLAINTS WITH BAD TAIL LIGHT GASKETS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! GM SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. MOLD IS DANGEROUS AND CAN BE DEADLY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED THAT THE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CAUTION, STABILTRACK, AND ABS WARNINGS WAS ON THE DASHBOARD. IT BECAME A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT TO STEER. WHEN I GOT HOME I TURN IT OFF AND LET IT SET FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURN IT BACK ON, STILL DISPLAYED WARNING. I CALLED KOOL CHEVROLET AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN THE NEXT MORNING. THEY DETERMINED THE REAR HUB WAS CRACKED. AFTER THE $495.14, IT SEEMS TO WORK LIKE USUAL. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH OTHER 2014 IMPALA'S, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MESSAGE ON MY IMPALA AND I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDING IN THE LETTER "OF IT BEING COVERED WITHIN 6 YEARS OF THE DATE YOUR VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE." I THOUGHT IT MEANT IT COULDN'T BE OLDER THAN 6 YEARS OLD BUT WASN'T SURE WHAT PLACED IN SERVICE MEANT AND ALSO NOT HAVE OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT. MY VEHICLE HAS ALMOST 26,000 AND MY DATE WAS SEPTEMBER 13 PER THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, SO WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED ANYMORE. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT IN AUGUST BUT HAD TO CANCEL IT AS MY MOM WAS JUST PUT INTO HOSPICE AT THAT POINT. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD PUT IN THE LETTER MY DATE OF ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE BUT IT WOULD MAKE IT A LOT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND. I AM HOPING THAT I CAN STILL HAVE IT FIXED AND NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT GM MADE INCORRECTLY. MY SIDE BLIND ALERT COMES ON EVERY TIME I TURN MY CAR ON AND DOESN'T WORK IN THE RAIN WHEN I AM DRIVING. I THOUGHT THIS FEATURE WAS TO HELP PEOPLE BE MORE SAFE ON THE ROAD AND LESSEN CRASHES BUT IT SEEMS TO BE ABOUT MONEY FOR GM OR ELSE THEY WOULD FIX IT. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR MY IMPALA AND ITS SPECIAL FEATURES AND THOUGH I KNOW THINGS WILL NEED TO BE FIXED, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR GM'S MISTAKE WHEN MANUFACTURING THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR'S ENGINE POWER SHUT OFF, COULDN'T RESTART FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. CALLED 911 AS A DISABLED VEHICLE IN CENTER OF HIGHWAY. STABILITYTRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING CAME ON AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. BROUGHT TO DEALER, WAS TOLD MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE LOOSE AND BATTERY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. PAID DEALER $663. THE VERY NEXT MORNING SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN 3 TIMES BEFORE I GOT TO THE DEALER. AFTER RESEARCHING I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM IS NOT ADDRESSING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ENGINE SHUTS DOWN ON THE MIDDLE OF 4 LANE HIGHWAY! IS SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE GM RECALLS THROTTLE BODY/ ACCELERATOR PROBLEM?
