2018 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN BACK ON AFTER THE AUTO STOP TURNS IT OFF THEN I HAVE TO PLACE THE PARK HIT THE START SWITCH AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. ALSO MY AC HAS STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE VEHICLE. THE AC COMPRESSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2019 AND HAD BEEN SERVICED TWICE BEFORE THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT BLOWS EXTREMELY LOW AND HAVE TO PUT IT ON HIGH JUST FOR THE AIR TO BLOW. AS OF TODAY THE AC HAS BEEN GOING IN AND OUT EVEN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPRESSOR AND STILL NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S THE ISSUE! *TR

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE ON PUBLIC ROADWAY WHILE UTILIZING THE AC FUNCTION, THE AC EVAPORATOR CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED UNDER THE DASH, STARTLING THE DRIVER & PASSENGER, AND EXPOSING THEM TO HIGH LEVELS OF 1234YF REFRIGERANT IN THE ENCLOSED CABIN. THE AC SYSTEM SUBSEQUENTLY WENT INTO LOW PRESSURE MODE, RENDERING ALL AC FUNCTIONS USELESS SUCH AS DEFROSTING THE WINDSHIELD WHICH HAS CREATED SAFETY ISSUES IN ADDITION TO THE INHALATION OF THE LEAKED REFRIGERANT. THIS STYLE OF FAILURE IS COVERED UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - N182186881 EVAPORATOR CORE ICING, LEAK FOR CERTAIN 2016-2018 IMPALA VEHICLES. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SIMILAR FAILURE ON A PART THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO COVER THIS FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE CUSTOMER CONTACT THE NHTSA TO HELP RESOLVE THE MISSING VIN FROM THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. CUSTOMER IS CURRENTLY SADDLED WITH A $2300 REPAIR BILL FOR A LIFETIME PART THAT HAS FAILED IN 2.4 YEARS AND POSES AN ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR WAS STOPPED ON A PARKING LOT EXIT RAMP. WHEN THE CAR AHEAD OF ME MOVED FORWARD I TOOK MY FOOT OF OF THE BRAKE SO I COULD MOVE FORWARD. WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAK TO STOP, THE BREAKS DID NOT WORK AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

OCTOBER 10TH, I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS LITERALLY AN ENTIRE CAR LENGTH BACK DRIVING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT 50-55 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP ON THE FREEWAY. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES BUT MY CAR SLID STRAIGHT INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT FELT AS IF MY BRAKES WERE NOT STOPPING MY CAR. I NOTICED THIS HAPPENING BEFORE ON A MAIN STREET AND I WAS TRAVELLING AT 45 MPH BUT I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT THE TIME.

TIRES-TIRES KEEP LOSING AIR PRESSURE, THEY APPEARED NEW BUT WHEN TESTED PROBLEMS WAS FOUND, THEY WERE WORE TO THE OUTSIDE AS IF ALIMENT WAS NEEDED, NEW TIRES WAS PURCHASED ELECTRICAL/BATTERY-THERE IS A FREQUENT SHUT DOWN OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, FROM THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) THE WAS 14.7, THE BATTERY WAS CHECKED TWICE WITHIN A PERIOD OF TWO DAYS FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE FIRST DAY THE BATTERY WAS GOOD THEN ON THE SECOND DAY THEY SAID I HAD A BATTERY PROBLEMS, PURCHASED NEW BATTERY, NO WARNING TRIED TO CRANK BARELY TURNOVER, SOMETIMES THE DIC GOES BLANK AND IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO DISPLAY AGAIN, THIS HAVE HAPPEN AT LEAST 3 TIMES BRAKES-WHEN BACKING UP THERE IS A FREQUENT LOUD MEDAL TO METAL SOUND, THIS HAVE HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES

I WENT TO THE STORE AND CAME OUT TO LEAVE. I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND THE RADIO CAME ON, LIGHTS IN THE CAR FLASHED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN I TRIED AGAIN. THEN IT STARTED MAKING A CLICKING SOUND.

SIDE DETECTION DEVICE NOT WORKING. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE AT A REPUTABLE DEALER. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THE SENSOR IS CORRODED. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER CASES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

IN FEBRUARY 2019 I PURCHASED A 2018 CHEVY IMPALA PREMIER, UPON DRIVING THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING LIKE MY 2018 CHEVY CAMARO BUT I CHUCKED IT UP TO THE CAR BEING HEAVIER AND PAID IT NO ATTENTION. FOR MONTHS I HAVE BEEN THINKING THAT MAYBE I JUST NEED TO GET USED TO THE BRAKES ON MY NEW CAR AND THAT IT WAS NOTHING. WHILE I DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEEDS (40 - 45 MPH) MY CAR SLID AN EXTRA 5- 10 FT MORE THEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO EVERY TIME. YESTERDAY WHILE BRAKING MY BRAKES JUST TOTALLY DID NOT RESPOND CAUSING ME TO HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER DRIVER. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH LITERALLY JUST TURNING OUT OF A SHOPPING PLAZA WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED. I STARTED TO PRESS THE BRAKES ABOUT 50 METERS AHEAD AND MY CAR DID NOT BUDGE NOR DID IT BEGIN TO STOP IT CONTINUED TO DRIVE AT THE SAME SPEED UNTIL I PROMPTED TO TURN AND BRACED FOR THE COLLISION. I HIT THE BACK PASSENGER BUMPER AND THE SIDEWALK BRINGING MY CAR TO A HALT. THIS INCIDENT WHICH PROMPTED ME TO LOOK FURTHER BRUNG ME ONLINE TO SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CHEVY IMPALA BRAKES WORKING IMPROPERLY. IT SAYS THAT IT IS ON SOME IMPALAS AND I BELIEVE THAT MINE IS ONE OF THEM.

I WAS DRIVING AND LADY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT RAIL ROAD TRACK AND I COULDN'T STOP I RAN INTO THE BACK OF HER

THIS WAS A HERTZ RENTAL CAR I PICKED UP AT THE ORLANDO, FL AIRPORT. JUNE 2, 2019. THERE WAS NO OPERATORS MANUAL IN THE CAR. IT WAS 10 PM AND I HAD TO DRIVE 90 MILES TO MY DESTINATION. ABOUT 30 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY TO CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO CLEAR THE NOTICE BY PRESSING SEVERAL BUTTONS ON THE DASH BOARD. THEN I THOUGHT I FOUND THE CORRECT BUTTON AND PRESSED IT. IT WAS THE CAR START AND OFF BUTTON. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF INCLUDING ALL THE LIGHTS. O WAS GOING 65 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE ROAD WAS PITCH BLACK. THE ENGINE HAD TURNED OFF SO I COULD NOT HOLD MY SPEED. I SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. (TURN SIGNALS WERE NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME). WHEN I COMPOSED MYSELF, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND SINCE THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DARK AND WITHOUT POWER AT 65 MPH. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE. I AN BAFFLED THAT CHEVROLET WOULD NOT HAVE CAUGHT THIS FLAW BEFORE PUTTING THESE CARS ON THE ROAD.
