ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA IGNITION KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, I DID GET THE KEY FIXED UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V355000 FROM A QUALIFIED CHEVROLET REPAIR CENTER. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS HAS BECOME AN EVER INCREASING PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I WILL BE CONTACTING GM CORP. ALONG WITH THE NHTSA AND WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE INFORMATION OR (EXCUSES) OF WHY THIS IS SOMEHOW MY PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES. IT'S FUNNY HOW GM IS NOT SIMPLY REPLACING ALL IGNITIONS WITH NEW KEYS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I FOR ONE WILL NOT LET THIS REST UNTIL I'M SATISFIED, MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR AND UNLIKE GM CORP. SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN.I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I DO ALL GENERAL MAINTENANCE ON OUR CARS AND THIS PISSES ME OFF. IF NOISE NEEDS TO BE MADE TO RESOLVE THIS, THEN NOISE YOU WILL HEAR. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO PUT GM'S ASS IN CHECK AND CALL THEM OUT ON THIS IGNITION-ELECTRICAL ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL. THIS HAPPENED 12/16/2015.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AS I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROUTE, ALERTS APPEARED FOR "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THEN "SERVICE STABILITRAK" FOLLOWED BY "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITING A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING. THE MESSAGES STOPPED, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I DROVE A FEW MORE MILES AND APPROACHED THE ON-RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE. AS I ACCELERATED TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THE SAME ALERTS CAME BACK ON IN ADDITION TO "STARTING DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE". SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY CAR BECAME COMPLETELY DISABLED AND SHUT DOWN AS I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE- THE ENGINE CUT OFF, NO POWER STEERING, NO ACCELERATION!! THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND SEEMS TO RUN FINE AT THE REPAIR SHOP. WORRIED WHEN AND WHERE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES
AT FIRST IT WAS WHEN BACKING UP AND TURNING SHARP. THE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE WOULD COME ON AND A GRINDING LIKE SOUND FROM THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL AREA. LATER IT INCLUDED THE ABS WARNING AND WOULD ALSO OCCUR AFTER BACKING WITH TURN AND GOING FORWARD AT THAT MOMENT. NOW RANDOMLY WHEN PULLING OUT AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. RECENTLY ALSO THE OIL PRESSURE LOW MESSAGE AND DUMMY LIGHT COME ON 3-4 TIMES BEFORE STOPPING (AND YES THE OIL PRESSURE IS GOOD WITH CORRECT OIL, TIRES, PRESSURE, BRAKES, SENSORS ALL CHECK GOOD). BEST GUESS DIAGNOSTICS IS SHORTING IN WIRING HARNESS THAT CAN NOT BE LOCATED UNTIL IT FAILS COMPLETELY. HOWEVER WITH GRABBING WITH TRACTION CONTROL WHEN PULLING OUT AND AIR BAG PROBLEMS IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2010 IMPALA WITH APPROXIMATELY 210000 MILES. WHEN I TURN ON THE VEHICLE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION SYSTEM INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES, I WILL REPORT THEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS WITH THIS ISSUE.
