ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2015 CHEVY IMPALA SIDE BLIND ZONE LEFT SIDE ALERT FAILED TO WORK, AND ACCORDING TO MY CHEVROLET SERVICE SHOP IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE NOT STARTING, THE ENGINE KILLING AFTER STARTING REMOTELY, AND THE CAUSE OF MASS COMMUNICATION FAILURE ALERTS WITH AND BETWEEN THE VEHICLE'S OTHER SAFETY AND NON SAFETY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. NONE OF THE CARS DASH GAGES WORKED FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER THE MASS ALERT HAPPENED. 10 MILES AFTER I HAD THE LEFT SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT REPLACED, I RECEIVED AN ALERT THAT A BLIND ZONE ALERT NEEDED SERVICE. IT TURNS OUT THE RIGHT SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT FAILED AFTER HAVING THE LEFT SIDE REPLACED. MY DAUGHTER HAS THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE AND SHE IS GETTING THE SERVICE BLIND SIDE ALERT ALERT AFTER HAVING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MODULES REPLACES A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THE COST TO REPLACE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT MODULES IS OVER $1400. THE MASS SYSTEM FAILURE ALERTS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND ENGINE RUNNING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR GETS SERVICE STABITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS WARNING ON DASH. REPLACING WHEEL HUBS WITH SENSORS DOES NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL WANT TO APPLY BRAKES WHILE DRIVING OR REDUCE ENGINE SPEED. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH MANY FORUMS WITH PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME CAR AND THROUGH MULTIPLE YEARS OF MANUFACTURING. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE IN THE LAST FEW DAYS IT LOOKS LIKE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE BUT CHEVROLET IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT. NOT SURE AT THIS POINT IF IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS CAUSING THE PROBLEM OR IF THIS COULD BE SOMETHING WITH THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE STABITRACK, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. IF CARS ARE LOOSING POWER AND OR THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED WITH OUT DRIVER CONTROL THIS CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR THE CAR OWNER PASSENGERS AND EVERYONE ELSE DRIVING ON THE SAME ROAD. WITH HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS I DO NOT SEE WHY THE CAR OWNER SHOULD NEED TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE AND MAYBE FIX THE ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR MULTIPLE SERVICE EVENTS AND THE ISSUE STILL NOT RESOLVED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
NOV 2018: CENTER CONSOLE / TV FAILURE INCLUDING BACK-UP CAMERA ALONG WITH INFOTAINMENT. OCCURRED JUST AFTER 36,000 MILES, THUS GM WARRANTY DID NOT COVER AND REPAIR COST FOR HMI MODULE = $732 THOUGH WE DO HAVE A 3RD PARTY EXT. WARRANTY, WE STILL PAID $200+ OUT OF POCKET AND FEEL IT IRRESPONSIBLE FOR GM ELECTRONICS TO FAIL JUST 1 YEAR AFTER MODEL YEAR (AS ELECTRONICS NORMALLY SHOULD NOT RELATE TO # MILES) - SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT CHEVROLET SENIOR SUPPORT BY PHONE TO DISCUSS SITUATION WENT UNANSWERED. DURING THE TIME THE CONSOLE WAS OUT (BUT CAR STILL DRIVE-ABLE), WE HAD REDUCED REAR VISIBILITY AND WERE MORE FEARFUL ABOUT BACKING UP, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WITH MANY CHILDREN PRESENT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE TRACTION STABILIZATION ERROR POPPED UP ON MY DASH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CAME TO A STOP AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE IT WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR NEVER SLID OR ANYTHING SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THE STABALIZATION ERROR WOULD COME ON AND THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAS DONE THIS. THE VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT DOES THIS. ONCE I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL SLOWLY TO GO AGAIN THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT JERKED. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ON OTHER FORUMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.
