2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

WHEN DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, ABS, STABILITRACK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT MATTER ON ROAD CONDITIONS. IT HAPPENS WHENEVER. THE RING ON THE BACK OF THE WHEEL BEARING GETS WEATHER ELEMENTS BEHIND IT (MOSTLY TALKING ABOUT WATER IN THE WINTER THEN FREEZES). THIS CAUSE THE RING TO BREAK. ONCE THIS RING IS BROKE. I AM ASSUMING THE ABS CANT KEEP TRACK OF THE VEHICLE'S MOTION. IT THEN THROWS THE CODES. TO TELL DO A VISIBLE INSPECTION LOOKING FOR THE RING TO BE COMPROMISED. DON'T WORRY YOUR WHEEL BEARING MIGHT NOT BE BAD. YOU JUST HAVE TO GO TO CHEVY AND SPEND 190$ ON A NEW WHEEL BEARING.

A FEW PROBLEMS. WHEEL BEARING SENORS GO BAD EFFECTING POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL. REPLACED 3 WHEEL BEARING ON DIFFERENT WHEELS IN PAST 12 MONTHS. ALSO 20" RIMS WITH LOW PRO TIRES ARE A PROBLEM. HAD 2 PLOW OUTS IN PAST 6 MONTHS WHEN HITTING POT HOLES AND DAMAGED 3 RIMS. VERY COSTLY TO BUY RIMS AT $650 A PIECE AND TIRES AT $230 EACH. A SAFETY PROBLEM NOT KNOWING IF YOU WILL HAVE A TIRE PLOW OUT BECAUSE OF A ROUGH ROAD OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 54 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. CAR WAS IN MOTION WITH WHEEL BEARING PROBLEM AND TIRE AND RIM PROBLEM. AT DIFFERENT TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT MOST RECENT 5/5/19

BLIND SPOT WARNING NOT WORKING, GM NOT WILLING TO REPLACE MODULES ON CAR WITH ONES THAT HAVE SINCE BEEN UPDATED. NEW MODULES ARE SEALED AND RESIST WATER INTRUSION, OLD MODULES DO NOT.

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT SENSORS HAVE FAILED. THESE FAILED SENSORS ARE CAUSING OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE INCLUDING AIR BAG WARNING, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKING, HVAC CONTROLS NOT WORKING AND INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH STARTING THE CAR. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM EXTENDING COVERAGE ON THE COMPONENTS TO 6 YEARS / 80,000 MILES. VEHICLE HAS 142,000 MILES BUT THIS IS NOT A PART THAT IS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PART HAS KNOWN ISSUES BUT HAS LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF TIME/MILEAGE THEY WILL COVER. SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEING UNRESPONSIVE AND AIR BAG POTENTIALLY BEING DISABLED DUE TO THIS.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM SENSORS ARE LOCATED ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR BUMPER PANEL ON EITHER SIDE, THEY DETECT CARS IN THE BLIND SPOT. THE SENSORS ARE LOCATED IN A POOR LOCATION TO BEGIN WITH, THEY ARE IN DIRECT LINE OF FIRE WITH ROAD AND TIRE DEBRIS, SALT WATER, GRAVEL, SAND, SNOW, MUD, ETC. OVER TIME, THE NATURAL ELEMENTS SEEP INTO THE CRACKS OF THESE SENSORS AND/OR THEIR WIRING HARNESSES AT THE CONNECTIONS, AND CAUSE MALFUNCTIONING OF THIS SYSTEM. MINIMALLY, THE PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE SENSORS AND/OR HARNESSES FOR BRAND NEW ONES. AT THE WORST, THESE MALFUNCTIONED SENSORS CAUSE OTHER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS AND SUBSEQUENTLY INCREASED ROAD HAZARDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS BY THE WAY THAT IT CAN LEAD TO THE DRIVER INFO CENTER GOING BLACK, THE RADIO CUTTING OUT, ALL THE INTERIOR AND GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE ON THE ROAD. IF LEFT UNRESOLVED BECAUSE MANY CUSTOMERS AND DRIVERS WOULD MUCH RATHER WAIT FOR AN OFFICIAL RECALL AND CONTINUE DRIVING, MANY WILL BE AT RISK.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE .. THE VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING RPMS STOPPED WORKING.. CAR AIR CONDITIONING TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN, VARIOUS LIGHTS ON THE FRONT ' TURN ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN

BLIND SPOT SAFETY LIGHT MODULE WENT BAD DUE TO POOR DESIGN, GENERAL MOTORS HAS A WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 MILES, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE'S NO CODE READING, BUT FAILED TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE MODULE ITSELF, AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO STARTING FIRES, A GM ENGINEER MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE POOR WORDING IN THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY SERVICE, I'M AFRAID THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE BECAUSE OF THEIR FAILURE TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE MODULE ITSELF, I BELIEVE BOTH BLIND SPOT LIGHT MODULES SHOULD BE REPLACED AS GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

SIDE DETENTION SENSOR ALERT CAME ON A DAY OR TWO AGO. TODAY WHILE DRIVING NUMEROUS DASH LIGHTS AND ALARMS CAME ON. I HAD NO GAUGES AND COULD NOT SIGNAL WHILE DRIVING. HAD MY DAUGHTER IN CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD THE SENSORS REPLACED A YEAR AGO WHICH COST ME OVER $1,000.

SIDE MIRROR BLIND SPOT ALERT SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME. I HAD REPLACED IT TWICE SO FAR COSTING $400 EACH TIME. IT SAYS THE SYSTEM NEEDS " MAINTANENCE"

I NOTICED WATER/DAMPNESS ON TWO LOCATIONS OF MY 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA (WHILE IT IS STATIONARY) 1. FLOOR CARPET ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT IS THOROUGHLY WET (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS), WITH THE DAMPNESS EXTENDING TO THE REAR SEATS. 2.INSIDE THE TRUNK IN AREA BEHIND THE REAR WHEEL. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AS WELL AS REPAIR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR CARPET, STRUCTURAL PANELS - FLOOR (POSSIBLE RUST). GM CUSTOMER SERVICE NOR THE DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO ABSORB THE COST AND EXPECTS MY (CONSUMER TO PAY)
