"TAKATA RECALL". I HAVE HAD THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE ALONG WITH THE RED INDICATOR ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR A FEW YEARS. I DO NOT SEE MY VEHICLE ON THE RECALL LIST. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? ANYTIME THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE WE ARE DRIVING OUR CAR. AND I'M WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT, OR THEY MAY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DON'T WANT TO DISABLE THE AIR BAGS BUT NOT KNOWING WHY THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAGS IS COMING ON. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT ON THE 2006-2014 IMPALA'S. AND PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THERE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. PLUS OUR SERVICE OUR TRACTION CONTROL KEEPS COMING ON AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT. SO I'M WORRIED THAT THIS CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN A ACCIDENT OR IF THEY WILL JUST DEPLOY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN YOU GO TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A STOP, THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL, CALIPER, OR SOMETHING IN THE DRIVETRAIN LOCKS UP AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PROCEED FORWARD MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE ONLY GOES FORWARD WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS THEN PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN NOW FOR 5 MONTHS AND THE CUSTOMER IS COMPLAINING THAT SHE ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENT, HOW EVER HERE AT DIESELZ MOTORSPORTS WE HAD REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION, FRONT ROTORS AND PADS AND OUTER TIE RODS. AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSIST.

AIR BAGS, SEATS
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE LAST RECALL FOR THE PASSANGER AIR BAG SENSOR IT DID NOT TURN THE LIGHT OFF AND THE DEALER SAYS THER IS A DIFFERANT ISSUE WITH IT AND THAT'S WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT THEY DID AS FAR AS TAPING THE WIRES OR REPLACING THE SENSOR. BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY DID NOTHING NOW THEY TELL ME THE PART IS 433.00 AND LABOR AND PROGRAMING IS ALMOST 1000.00. I SEE MANY CARS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE PASSANGER PRESENCE SENSOR MODULE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON KEEPS ME FROM GETTING THE CAR INSPECTED. BASICALLY IF YOU SIT IN MY PASSANGER SIDE FRONT SEAT IT CAN'T RECOGNIZE ANYONE SITTING THERE. ANY HELP WOULD BE WELCOME ON THIS SITUATION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON ROADS AND INTERSTATES, I FREQUENTLY RECEIVE A DASH NOTIFICATION "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY VEHICLE LOSES SPEED AND CANNOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40MPH - DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON AN INTERSTATE. THE NOTIFICATION LIGHTS AND SYMPTOMS OCCASIONALLY GO AWAY AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON, ONLY TO COME BACK LATER. I CANNOT FIND AND ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM.

MY IMPALA HAS HAD AIRBAG ISSUES SINCE 2016 DISPLAY PANEL CONSTANTLY SAYS TO SERVICE AIR BAG ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I RECEIVED THE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE BACK IN 2016 AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY REWRAPPED THE WIRES UNDER PASSENGER SEAT AND SYSTEM WAS OK FOR AROUND 6 MONTHS THEN IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THINGS WITH SAME ISSUE. STATING TO SERVICE AIR BAG AND WHEN IN PASSENGER SEAT IS THE ONLY TIME IT SAYS THIS AND IT ALSO DISPLAYS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF.
