Eight problems related to brake abs warning light have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Impala. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2002 Chevrolet Impala based on all problems reported for the 2002 Impala.
I was stopped at a stop sign on a dry road,when I pressed the accelerator the car felt like the engine was going to shut off and it would barely move. A few seconds later the traction control light and abs lights came on. After the traction control and abs lights came on the car went fine. This is not the first time that this has happened. Also sometimes when you step on the brake pedal it feels like there is no pressure on the pedal. When this happens the traction control and abs lights come on again. This has happened several times in the past 2 years and I have taken my car to several different auto mechanics. I have replaced both front wheel hub assemblies at least 4 times in 2 years. Each auto mechanic will tell you a different diagnosis when I take it to the shop. I have contacted gm about this problem about 10 to 12 months ago and they say they are not aware of any problems with this model of car. I don't know what else to do to resolve these problems with my car. It is starting to happen more often now, and my wife will not even ride in my car anymore because she is scared to. I would really like to see an investigation started into this matter. If you go to some chat rooms on the web you will find many many people having the same problems with their Impalas. Thank you for reading this complaint.
All of the sudden out of no where the abs light and the trac control light come on while driving in the rain and the car almost skidded out of control! now the lights have stayed on constantly. I have spent about 3 months researching the web to find that thousands of people with this same vehicle are going through the same issues. No one has done a recall on this in all of these years??? does there have to be a death to have the issue fixed? maybe there already has been. This is obviously a defect in the parts or it would not be happening to this amount of people. It should not be a fix at the consumers expense when there is a definite issue with respect to the parts. This fix can cost upwards of $3,000. 00. I would ask that someone investigate these issues and do what needs to be done to get this resolved ASAP. I will be keeping a record of all contact about this issue. This will ensure that if anything does happen with the safety of my family or others families it will show contact was made and what steps chevy has taken to ensure the safety of there customers.
The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the abs warning light illuminated as the vehicle began to brake independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the abs control module needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,000.
The traction control and the abs light illuminated intermittently. The car was taken to a local mechanic where the abs hub assembly was replaced, but the failure has reappeared. The traction control and the abs warning lights continued to illuminate intermittently. They stay on until the motor is turned off then restarted. The failure mileage was about 85,000 and the current mileage is 87000.

My abs light stays on and having an issue with the brakes, making awful grinding noise while driving on a straight away. Does it rather roads are wet or dry. This is very dangerous . I have read many many owners of the 2002 chevy Impalas are having this issue. The problem needs to be addressed before someone gets seriously injured or result in a fatality.
Since we bought this chevy Impala at gene pankey motor in tacoma washington we have had nothing but issues with the traction control system lights coming on when we would return to the dealer to have it worked on they would clear the computer which would clears the problem for a few days but it always comes back. We have had our Impala in alot of times at least 15x we never thought to keep track how many times we have had to have this worked on its been to 4 different shops for the same thing. We love this car it is a great car lots of room and has giddy up and well its hot and its paid for. We really want our car fixed we are tired of taking it in to be fixed and nothing gets done. They have replaced the catalytic converter at the chevy dealer saying that was bad and replaced the front right wheel sensor twice at amco transmission shop in fircrest its been to bitterlings in tacoma as well as the dealer we bought it from gene pankey. And we still have the same issues. The traction control light keeps coming on and the abs light now comes on, it happens intermittently. I feel it has something to do with the brakes or the transmission! the brakes go spongy when the traction control light comes on we lose our brakes!!!! I am still under warranty til 100,000 miles and im only at 80,000 but I just don't have time to keep taking this thing to the dealer. I want my ride fixed and I want it fixed now. Cant we start a class action lawsuit!!!!!.
I have a 2002 Chevrolet Impala with the abs/traction control warning lamp on problem. This problem can be intermittent. The car has approximately 98,764 miles on it. The problem was first noticed at about 89,000 miles. There is an assorted amount of symptoms that go along with this issue. This problem is dangerous and could possibly result in an accident. Here are the symptoms you may experience you may have one or more of the following symptoms: 1. After start up (without the brake pedal depressed) the abs/traction lamp may or may not come on. This is temperature dependent cold start or hot restart (it seems to occur more frequently at the both extremes). 2. The abs brakes may cycle on just during normal braking. This may cause the vehicle to unexpectedly pull to the right. 3. The abs brakes may cycle on while making a slow right hand turn with the brakes applied lightly. 4. The abs brakes may cycle on when traveling on a straight roadway at about 40 mph and then coming to a slow stop with the brake pedal lightly applied. 5. The abs/traction control lamp may come on while traveling in light and heavy rain. This may also occur after running the car though an automatic car wash. It should be noted that you may hear the abs pump motor cycle a number of times (usually 3) before the indicator lamps come on.
