2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH MY 2014 IMPALA IS THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD VERY WELL. THE LIGHT BEAM IS NARROW PROJECTING STRAIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. VERY LITTLE ILLUMINATION TO THE SIDES OF THE ROAD. THIS COMPLAINT MAY SOUND TRIVIAL BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU THAT I'M NOT CHEVY BASHING. THIS IMPALA IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR, I LOVE IT EXCEPT FOR THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR ME. IF I HAD TAKEN A TEST DRIVE AT NIGHT I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR. HARD TO TEST DRIVE AT NIGHT IN JULY. I EXPECTED MUCH BETTER LIGHTING ON A CAR LIKE THIS. A HALOGEN BULB IN A WELL DESIGNED AND POISONED FIXTURE WORKS GREAT. I COPIED THE ABOVE FROM A PRIOR COMPLAINT. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR AND THE NEW DESIGN. I WAS LOOKING ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD UPGRADE THE HEADLIGHTS( BETTER BULB OR SOMETHING ELSE) BECAUSE I TOO THOUGHT THAT THE LUMINATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS WAS SUB PAR. I FOUND THIS COMPLAINT SITE AND WANTED TO STATE MY DISSATISFACTION ALSO. THANKS. *JS

ON 9/3/14 A NEW CHEVY IMPALA VEHICLE WAS LEASED TO ME WHILE UNDER A7/23/14 OPEN RECALL FOR POWER STEERING. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND THE TRANSACTION IS NOT LEGAL. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. *MW THE CONSUMER STATED THE NEAREST DEALER WAS 40 MILES AWAY. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS THE 4TH RECALL NOTICE, HE RECEIVED. *JB

THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A VEHICLE COLLISION WARNING DEVICE THAT IS INTENDED TO WARN THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE IN FRONT THAT YOU ARE TO CLOSE TO AND CLOSING RANGE WITHOUT BRAKING. ON ABOUT 1/2 DOZEN OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE'S EARLY DETECTION SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WITHOUT ANY VEHICLES IN FRONT. THESE OCCURRENCES SEEM TO BE ON DAYS WHEN IT IS RAINING AND THEIR ARE REFLECTIONS OFF THE ROAD, OR VERY SUNNY DAYS (AGAIN CAUSING REFLECTIONS). THE FLASHING LIGHT, LOUD ALARM, AND INTERRUPTION WITH REGULAR AUDIO IS VERY JARRING (SCARY). ON ONE OCCASION I APPLIED MY BRAKES VERY HARD BECAUSE OF THE ALARM (BUT THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT) - THIS ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND TO HIT ME. THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE DISENGAGED TO PREVENT A FALSE/POSITIVE ALARM. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE AND CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS WITHOUT RESULTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT BEAM, BOTH ON HIGH AND LOW BEAMS, ARE VERY NARROWLY FOCUSED SO THAT THE AREA IMMEDIATELY TO THE FRONT AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND OBJECTS LOCATED THERE CANNOT BE SEEN MAKING DRIVING AT NIGHT ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN STRAIGHT HIGHWAYS AN UNNERVING EXPERIENCE. THE CONTACT BELIEVES IT REPRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK BOTH TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND TO PEDESTRIANS WHO MIGHT BE OUTSIDE THE HEADLIGHTS' NARROW FOCAL RANGE. THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

DRIVING UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY CONDITIONS THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN RESTARTED THE POWER STEERING RETURNED AS I ASSUME THE SOFTWARE REBOOTED. THE POWER STEERING RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE THUS MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN MY OPINION ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE. IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED I HIGHLY DOUBT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRONG ENOUGH TO MANEUVER THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED WATER IN THE FRONT HEADLIGHT BEAMS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BEAMS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED A 2014 IMPALA ON NOVEMBER 8, 2014 FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND 2 DAYS LATER ON NOVEMBER 10, 2014 I RECEIVED AN EMAIL SAYING CONTACT THEM BECAUSE IT A RECALL ON THIS CAR. WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL THERE WHERE 9 RECALLS ON THIS CAR. I WAS SOLD A CAR AND THEY NEW IT WASN'T SAFE. *TR
