The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Impala. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the traction and brake warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked during acceleration. The failure occurred on a daily basis. The dealer stated that the hub sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the failure recurred three days later. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 80,300.
The traction control is constantly engaging even under ideal driving situations. It engages while driving and turning at slow speeds. Once engaged during pulling onto a road and due to holding car back (no traction) almost had a collision. Also when the brakes are applied a noise is heard and a slight push back of the brake pedal occurs. Noise is possibly from the abs. Since the two (tc and abs) are linked it could be disrupting one or the other. I have searched several forums and many consumers are complaining of the same problem. Many have tried several solutions, but the problem persists. Wrote a letter to gm about this problem. I am very concerned this is a safety issue and only a matter of time before a death occurs due to this issue. Also no known root cause or easy fix and cust have spent thousands to fix issue at dealer yet issue remains. This should be researched and recalled before anyone gets seriously hurt. Thank you in advance.
2000-2004 chevy Impala abs/trac control issues affecting braking under wet conditions and low speed. Complaints at topix . Net.
The vehicle's traction control system malfunctions. From a stop position, the accelerator pedal is applied, the vehicle will surge forward, then temporarily lose momentum rendering the vehicle stationary. It occurs every time the vehicle is driven. Maintenance has been performed to the brakes and the hub assemblies have been replaced; the old parts are not available. After attempts to resolve the source of this problem, the issue remains unsolved and poses a severe safety issue. Due to this unsafe malfunction, there have been several near front, rear and side collisions while pulling into traffic.
2003 chevy Impala 3. 8 engine. I have had recurring, intermittent problems with the traction control kicking in when pulling away from a stop in dry weather and dry road conditions. Not an appropriate time for it to kick in. Then it releases. I have had the mechanic look at it several times but they cannot find anything because the computer doesn't flash a code. I am concerned that the car will be unsafe if the traction control operates at inappropriate times.
