ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
SENSORS ON THE BACK BUMPER WENT BAD DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING IN, SCREWED UP ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS THE BRAINS OF THE VEHICLE. CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS CAR, TONS OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE SENSORS ARE NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HAVING TO PURCHASE THEM. THE REPAIR SHOP CANNOT EVEN BE GIVEN AN EXPECTANT DATE THAT THE SENSORS AND WIRING HEIRNESS WILL BE AVAILABLE. RECALL THESES CARS CHEVY, THEY KNOW THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, THIS IS A $1500 FIX THAT THE CUSTOMER IS LEFT TO PAY. WHEN THEY KNOW TONS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THIS VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE VERY EXACT SOME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE ISSUES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I KNOW A LOT OF OTHERS ARE HAVING IT TOO. WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON WILL RANDOMLY AND CODE SAYING ENGINE POWER REDUCED. MY CAR'S ENGINE POWER WILL REDUCE AND I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES: ON THE FREEWAY, IN TOWN, AT STOP LIGHTS, GOING UP HILLS, ON FLAT GROUND, WHEN I FIRST TURN MY CAR ON, AFTER DRIVING FOR 5 HOURS. THERE IS NO PATTERN. AFTER I TURN MY CAR OFF FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, THE LIGHT TURN OFF AND MY CAR RUNS OK AGAIN. IT HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, BUT SOMETIMES 4 OR 5 TIMES WEEK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BLIND SPOT SAFETY LIGHT MODULE WENT BAD DUE TO POOR DESIGN, GENERAL MOTORS HAS A WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 MILES, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE'S NO CODE READING, BUT FAILED TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE MODULE ITSELF, AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO STARTING FIRES, A GM ENGINEER MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE POOR WORDING IN THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY SERVICE, I'M AFRAID THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE BECAUSE OF THEIR FAILURE TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE MODULE ITSELF, I BELIEVE BOTH BLIND SPOT LIGHT MODULES SHOULD BE REPLACED AS GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

ON A COLD START MY CAR WILL NOT START FOR AT LEAST ONE TIME, AND ONCE YOU GET IT ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WILL SURGE AND JUMP RPMS AND OCCASIONALLY WILL JUST DIE AND LEAVE ME STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE REPLACED JUST ABOUT EVERY SENSOR RELATING TO THE ISSUE AND THE FUEL PUMP AND STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG. I STILL OWE MONEY ON THE CAR AND I'D RATHER JUST FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. THANK YOU AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OCCASIONALLY THE DASH AND RADIO GO ALL BLACK, GETTING NO POWER. WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING SUNROOF, IT WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE. IT EITHER STOPS COMPLETELY OR WILL STOP AND GO IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS THE BUTTON PUSHED. WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKE TO PUSH START, THE BRAKE GETS SUPER HARD AND THE DASH PANEL WILL SAY, 'PRESS BRAKE TO START.' I AM PRESSING THE BRAKE! MOST RECENTLY, 'SIDE DETECTION' IS DISPLAYING ON DASH PANEL AND BLIND SPOT LIGHTS ARE NOT LIGHTING UP ON MIRRORS. I'VE READ A NUMBER OF SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE WITH THE SAME YEAR. I HAD THIS CAR BACK 7X FOR WATER GETTING IN THE TRUNK. IT LAYS WHERE THE SPARE TIRE IS AND THE CARPET ABOVE IS NEVER WET. EVERY-TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. OH AND IT STILL IS GETTING WATER IN THE TRUNK. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO! JUST YESTERDAY I WAS STOPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN. THEN IT GAINED POWER JUST AS FAST. MY CAR ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES AND A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

I NOTICED WATER/DAMPNESS ON TWO LOCATIONS OF MY 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA (WHILE IT IS STATIONARY) 1. FLOOR CARPET ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT IS THOROUGHLY WET (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS), WITH THE DAMPNESS EXTENDING TO THE REAR SEATS. 2.INSIDE THE TRUNK IN AREA BEHIND THE REAR WHEEL. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AS WELL AS REPAIR. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR CARPET, STRUCTURAL PANELS - FLOOR (POSSIBLE RUST). GM CUSTOMER SERVICE NOR THE DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO ABSORB THE COST AND EXPECTS MY (CONSUMER TO PAY)
