ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CHEVY IMPALA WHEN IN MOTION HAS SIGNALS FOR SERVICE STABILITRAC, THE CHECK ENGINE COMES ON AND THE A MESSAGE THAT SAYS REDUCED ENGINE POWER SHOWS UP. IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF IMPALA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE! THE STABILITACK GOES OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGTS STAYS ON BUT USUALLY GOES OFF, AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON BUT YOU CLAIM MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER RECALL! THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO! IT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED IT AND STAYED ON UNTIL I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK THEN IT DISAPPEARED. I ALSO HAVE A BREAK THAT IS GRINDING EVEN AFTER IT HAS HAD NEW ROTORS, BRAKE PADS AND THE CALIPER CHANGED. IT GRINDS CONTINUOUSLY. I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL! PLEASE CHECK INTO THESE MATTERS! I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD BE ON YOUR RECALL LIST FOR THESE ISSUES!

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
AIR BAG SENSOR HAS BEEN TRIPPED FOR THE PAST 7 MONTHS, I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS RECALL, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE WIRING HARNESS MIGHT BE THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, WHENEVER, I PUT IN MY VIN NUMBER, THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS FOR THIS. ALSO, I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE GAS SENSOR POSSIBLY BEING BAD, HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK IT INTO A CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED, THEY REFUSED TO. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T ON, AND THAT I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL IT FAILED BEFORE THEY WOULD FIX IT! FAILURE OF THIS SENSOR MEANS, IT COULD FAIL IN AN INTERSECTION, OR WHILE I AM PASSING SOMEONE, OR WHATEVER, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN!!! I AM VERY UNHAPPY THAT THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT. NOW, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, HOWEVER, IT IS BECAUSE ANOTHER SENSOR IS BAD! THE EVC SENSOR NOW HAS TO BE FIXED. THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS TRIPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY AT 70 MPH ON A WARM DAY OF 80 F OR SO. THE EVC SENSOR TRIPPED OVERNIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING. THE GAS PEDAL SENSOR HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR 3 YEARS BECAUSE CHEVY DEALERS REFUSE TO FIX IT. THESE CONCERNS ARE IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER MECHANICAL FIXES THAT I HAVE HAD TO DO ON A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 87,000 MILES ON IT! I AM FEELING LIKE I HAVE A LEMON OF A CAR AND THAT THIS IMPALA IS THE WORST CAR ON THE MARKET. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CHEVY PRODUCTS, AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GREAT PRODUCTS THAT CHEVY ONCE PRODUCED???

#1 EVERY TIME I MOVE THE DRIVERS SEAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON SAYING THAT THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED. #2 THE CAR'S TRACTION WILL ACT LIKE I'M ON ICE (EVEN ON A HOT 90 DEGREE JULY DAY). THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE WILL GEAR DOWN, TO THE DEGREE OF LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES ON THE HIGHWAYS I FOUND RECALLS PENDING FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND MY VIN # IS NOT ON THE LIST. WELL I'M TELLING YOU NOW THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY SCARY. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED!!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY CAR STARTED GIVING ME AN ERROR CODE OF SERVICE STABILITRAC, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST, AND MY TRACTION AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON LIKE A YEAR AGO. I HAVE HAD CONTROL ARMS REPLACED, CV AXLES, HUBS, ETC. I HAVE BASICALLY REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION TRYING TO RID THIS PROBLEM BUT TO NO AVAIL IT'S STILL GIVING ME THIS WARNING. IT'S CAUSING MY CAR TO SLIP WHEN I TURN CORNERS OR TRY TO ACCELERATE. IT'S CAUSING PULLING AND LOSS OF SPEED IN THE ENGINE . THIS PROBLEM IS COSTING ME ALOT OF MONEY AS WELL AS FRUSTRATION. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER URGENTLY THANK YOU

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
SERVICE STABILITRAK INDICATOR SHOWED UP AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY (ENGINE SEEMED TO WANT TO STALL, LOSS OF POWER, ROUGH IDLEING, TRANSMISSION 'KICKING'. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT THE CONSUMER SINCE THE COSTS OF REPAIR ARE (CAN BE) EXTREMELY HIGH. MANUFACTURER SHOULD ENSURE THE PARTS THEY USE FOR STABILITY AND SAFETY WILL LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT AFTER JUST HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED A FEW WEEKS EARLIER, WITHOUT WARNING, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. JUST BEFORE THE STALL IT WAS DRIVING COMPLETELY NORMAL WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL. SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE MESSAGES OF SERVICE STABILTRACK, TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, AND LOW ENGINE POWER. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN AFTERMARKET SENONDARY AIR CHECK VALVE THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. WITH THIS THEY GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING CODES; P0068, P0340, P0651, AND P2135. DUE TO ME JUST RECENTLY GETTING THIS PART REPLACED THIS PAST FEBRUARY I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED IT. WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK IT WOULD NO LONGER EVEN START. THE MECHANIC THEN INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR VALVE WOULD NOT CAUSE THIS ISSUE AND THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. WHEN THAT WAS DONE I WAS TOLD A SECOND TIME THAT IT WAS THE AIR VALVE. I HAVE NOW COME OUT OF POCKET TWICE FOR TOWS THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. ALONG WITH PAYING FOR AN EXPENSIVE PART POSSIBLY TWICE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER GIVEN ME ANY ISSUES UNTIL THIS YEAR.

POWER TRAIN
MY CAR DIED ALONG SIDE THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILING. WE WERE UNABLE TO MOVE IN ANY FORWARD OR REVERSE GEARS. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THE CAR HARD, AND ALWAYS MAINTAIN PER MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS AND GUIDELINES. 2010 IMPALA WITH 130,000 MILES. FORTUNATELY A POLICE OFFICER WAS ABLE TO PARK BEHIND US IN THE ROAD WITH HIS LIGHTS FLASHING TO KEEP CARS FROM RUNNING INTO US UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO GET TOWED AWAY. I HAD JUST MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND THE TRANSMISSION INSTANTLY FAILED AFTER THE TURN (I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT A MILE FROM MY GARAGE TILL THE FAILURE).
