2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE LANE DEPARTURE MODULES THAT EXPLODE AND AND CAUSED MY SYSTEM TO FAIL. SAYING THAT MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED, MY GAS WAS EMPTY, THEY THEFT IS DETECTED, THE A/C BLOWER MOTOR TURNED ON AND OFF, FINALLY I GOT THE MODULES REPLACED, BUT NOW THERE ARE NEW SAFETY ISSUES HAPPENING. THE LIGHT ON THE MIRROR TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS NEXT TO ME TURNS ON ALL THE TIME. I ALMOST RAN OFF THE RAID BECAUSE I WAS CHANGING LANES AND IT WENT OFF AND NOW ONE WAS THERE. THE BACKUP SENSORS ARE DELAYED IN TELLING ME IF SOMETHING IS BEHIND ME OR COMING BEHIND ME. THE FRONT SYSTEM DOES NOT MAKE THE CAR SLOW DOWN WHEN I AM IN CRUSE CONTROL AND A CAR GOES SLO INFORNT OF ME. I DON'T TRUST THAT THE AIRBAG WILL GO OFF IF IT NEEDS TO IN A COLLISION.. I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXINMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE, PARKING BRAKE, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT A VERY LOW SPEED TO ANDREW CHEVROLT (1500 W SILVER SPRING DR, MILWAUKEE, WI 53209), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE 5E 'SERVICE STABILITRACK' LIGHT WILL TURN ON; THE GEAR WILL BE ON MANUAL INSTEAD OF INT HE PARK POSITION - AND I AM UNABLE TO SWITCH THE GEAR. I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND ON A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START ON PARK. THE CAR HAS ALSO SWITCHED TO THE MANUAL POSITION WHEN I'M DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY AFTER IT'S RAINED THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS IT TURNS OFF. THE PROBLEM OF GOING FROM PARK TO MANUAL OR FROM BEING IN DRIVE TO MANUAL HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR WHEN IT IS STATIONARY- IT'S ALSO HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN AT LOW SPEED.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM QUIT WORKING. HOWEVER IT IS CONNECTED TO THE MAIN COMPUTER SO SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL IDLE POORLY AND REV HIGH. THIS COULD PRESENT A HUGE PROBLEM IF IT REVS HIGH WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE FOR A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALSO HEARD PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT STALLING. SO THIS PRESENTS IT'S OWN PROBLEMS. SEEMS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE LOSS OF POWER LIKE GM HAD WITH THEIR IGNITION SWITCHES.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY RAINWATER DRAINS INTO THE TRUNK AND INTO THE SPARE TIME COMPARTMENT. THERE'S A DEFECT WITH THE TAIL LIGHTS AND SEALS BETWEEN THE TRUNK AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND WASN'T AWARE ANYTHING HAD BEEN DOCUMENTED ON THE ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL 2017 WHEN I NEEDED MY SPARE TIRE. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2014/SB-10092869-0335.PDF - ISSUE ALREADY DOCUMENTED, BUT I WANTED TO OFFICIALLY REPORT MY PROBLEM BECAUSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET FOR THE REPAIR, ONLY BECAUSE I WASN'T NOTIFIED.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM FAILURE. MODULE ABSORBING MOISTURE. DETECTION LIGHT ON SIDE MIRROR STAYS ON, EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLASHES VARIOUS WARNINGS. GM IS AWARE THAT IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART BUT LIMITS COVERAGE TO CERTAIN MILEAGE. SEEMS LIKE A PART THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE NEAR THE GAS TANK WOULD BE A BIG ENOUGH SAFETY HAZARD TO WARRANT A FULL RECALL. ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN. GAVE WARNINGS ON THE SIDE DETECTION, THEN LIGHT STAYED ON IN THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR.

STABILITRACK HAS BEEN MESSING UP SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018. MY CAR IS SCARY TO DRIVE. SOMETIMES ITS NOT CLEAR WHAT GEAR I'M IN. THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 5 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE STABILITRACK IS MESSING UP. THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE STABILITRACK LIGHT IS ON AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE. I HAVE TO WAIT AND KEEP TURNING THE CAR OFF THEN WAIT THEN TRY TO START IT. STABILITRACK NEEDS A RECALL. I COULD NOT BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT THIS MORNING BECAUSE OF THE STABILITRACK. IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE MOTOR MOVED WHEN I TRIED TO REVERSE. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE PANEL TO KNOW WHAT GEAR I WAS IN BUT IT WAD CLEAR IT SKIPPED THE REVERSE. WHEN IT FINALY LET ME BACK UP AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES I COULD ONLY ECCELERATE 3 MILES PER HOUR.

DRIVING ALONG ON FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH LIT UP WITH VARIOUS FLASHING LIGHTS AND WARNINGS, THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND MY HVAC STOPPED FUNCTIONING. HAD TO PULL OVER ON BUSY HIGHWAY AND RESTART TO NO AVAIL. PULLED OVER AGAIN ONCE I GOT TO REST STOP. LET IT SIT. RESTARTED AND WORKED OKAY. INTERNET SAYS PROBLEM IS WITH SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM (WHICH DEALER CONFIRMED BUT SAID MY CAR MISSED CUT-OFF DATE BY 5 DAYS ON A $700 REPAIR BILL. CAR HAS BUT 12,300 MILES ON IT (I AM 92 YEARS OLD). INTERNET ALSO STATES THAT IF ISSUE IS NOT FIXED IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH DASHBOARD ELECTRONICS, INCLUDING FIRE. GM ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #N172097060 (NO OWNER NOTIFICATION), WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD I MISSED OUT ON BY 5 DAYS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF AND THE LIGHTS POP UP SAYING REAR STABILITY, ABS ANTI THEFT DETECTION, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.THE CAR HAS DONE THIS THREE TIMES SO FAR WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL FOX CHEVROLET (725 S ROCHESTER RD, ROCHESTER HILLS, MI 48307) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
