general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Impala

Abs/traction control. When abs and traction control lights come on makes grinding noise /brakes grab has become dangerous to have on the road. Only have 125,950 miles has been causing problems for last 5,000 miles. Took to shop mechanic. Could not identify problem. Can not turn traction control off/ on manually does it on its own. . Has to be a recall for this problem. As many complaints for this same dangerous problem there should be a factory recall before someone gets hurt or worse. This problem happens when in motion turning and while applying brake. City street and highway.

Recall id 240424 received this from credit karma. Currently our car is having overheating issues. Engine cooling issues,exhaust manifold/header/muffler/tailpipe, oil leaking on to my exhaust I'm afraid to drive it, afraid it may catch fire.

Chevy Impala lights don't work at night daytime lights work off and on high beams at night only.

Driving on the freeway at night no traffic. My airbags deploy destroying the inside of my car. No crash took place. Made a claim with gm my claim was denied. I am afraid to fix this car and drive it any longer. I did have the engine fire recall fixed 5 days prior to this happening.

The contact owned a 2003 Chevrolet Impala. While driving approximately 30 mph, both frontal air bags deployed at the same time. The contact had to maneuver to the side of the road to a complete stop. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was deemed destroyed. Th repair cost would have exceeded the worth of the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000.

Vehicle was traveling 45 mph when air bags deployed. No collision occurred, no one was injured, road was dry and smooth, traffic was light, road was very familiar. Called gm and they took vehicle to walter jackson Chevrolet in ringgold, GA for inspection. The cause, they found, was a persistent water leak behind the glove box which caused corrosion and caused the airbags to deploy. We have attempted to have this leak repaired multiple times, but attempts only succeeded temporarily, if at all. Found from internet searches that this is a common problem with gm vehicles. As I also drive a 2004 Impala that has had the same leak, I am concerned that its airbags could also deploy at any time. We are the second owners of this vehicle but are familiar with the car's history, as it was purchased from a family member. Kelley blue book values it at $2,000 and repairs are estimated at $4,000. Following is a list of repairs on the car, excepting routine maintenance: 12-20-2007- right side cowl panel seal- to fix leak under glove box 5-15-2010- body repair- grass fire got close enough to blister paint on right side of car before fire dept. Put it out. (we weren¿t there to move it. ) 11-19-2013- windshield and gasket- leaking again. 5-13-2016- repair water leak- leaking again. This is a design flaw. There are several different after-market fixes on the internet that mechanically inclined people have devised, but this should not be necessary. The vehicle should be safe from this problem when it rolls off the assembly line.

Had front end accident twice and air bags never inflated.

Driver observed traffic coming to a stop, his brakes gave out, he could not steer left or right to avoid a car in front of him which caused him to rear-end the unit. His air-bag did not deploy.

Lost control of vehicle suddenly causing me to swerve across the road at high speeds. When I regained control of the vehicle I noticed the airbags had deployed. There was no impact with any other objects!.

Tl- the contact owns 2003 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while vehicle was in the park position, while ignition running, the front drivers and passengers air bags deployed. The vehicle was towed to local dealer. The failure was diagnosed as failed controlled module. The vehicle was deemed totaled. The failure mileage was 212,000 and the current mileage was 212,000.

I have had incidents several times over the years where I would hit a bump in the road and my car would completly shut off. I have also had several incidents where I was traveling down the expressway and my car turned off on me. I had to shift my car into neutral and restart it to continue going. I was fortunate not to have an accident.

It was raining, car started to skid to the right, steered left to correct, lost control and struck a tree head on. Serious injuries to belted driver.
