2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER QUIT WORKING. MY SHOP FOUND THAT THE DEFOGGER HAD LOST ITS GROUND FUNCTION IN THE FUSE BLOCK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FUSE BLOCK HAD TO BE REPLACED IN ITS ENTIRETY COSTING OVER 200 DOLLARS. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE DEFOGGER FAILED.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES AND RESOLVES ITSELF. COMPLETE FAILURE OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HVAC SUDDENLY WITH ENGINE RUNNING. THIS APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH GM RECALL #36110. CONTACTED GM FOR FURTHER ACTION AND WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED WITH RECALL DESPITE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED FOR RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAPPENS WITH ADULT FRONT PASSENGER, NOT WHILE SEAT IS EMPTY, AND WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY IMPALA AND IT HAS THE AIRBAG ISSUE WHICH IT HAS A RECALL BUT WHEN I CALL CHEVY THEY SAY MICHAEL VEHICLES NOT AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH IT'S HAS THE SAME EXACT IS SHOES WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE WIRES AS THE RECALL. WHEN I CALL CHEVY IT ONLY SHOWS ONE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE AIRBAG ISSUE BUT THERE'S A RECALL FOR SERVINGS 2009 AND 2010 CHEVY IMPALA

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM A DEALERSHIP AND I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND IT SHOWS NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I READ AN ARTICLE ON THE FTC WEBSITE THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE BEING SUED BY SENDING FAKE RECALLS TO PEOPLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE ONE OF THEM.

DRIVING UPHILL & THE SERVICE STABILTRAK & THE SERICE TRACTION CONTROL WORDS CAME ON FOLLOWED BY REDUCE OF ENGINE POWER & THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT & TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. WE COULD STILL DRIVE AT ABOUT 20 MPH UPHILL & 45-50 ON FLAT ROADS. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF 4 ABOUT 2 HRS 2 COOL DOWN. BUT THEN AS SOON AS WE HEADED UP A HILL IT STARTED ALL OVER.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE CAR WENT INTO SHUTDOWN MODE. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER READ, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE, AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT I DID NOT GET TO READ BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING THE ROAD. THEN THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT TO THE MAX, AND THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING AT ALL. I SHUT THE CAR OFF CHECKED ALL FLUIDS STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND TRIED TO GET GOING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR BACK HOME AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I WENT TO EDMUNDS FORUM AND THERE ARE DOZENS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING.
