Brake Abs Warning Light problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Impala

Turned on my car started pushing on the gas my car made a weird vibration type sound. Came up on message board traction control after a couple times of it doing that, the abs and tax light come on and on the message window it says system traction service. It kinda freaked me out cause I was stopped at a red light went to go hit the gas and it said traction control and I moved a little than I had to let go of gas then try again. Also have had a couple incidents where I go to break and it makes a vibration feeling on the brake and brings up traction control again. Really would like this checked out very concerned. Don't want to get in an accident cause my car fails to take off.

My service traction system and abs light stays on constantly when I am driving. I dont know what kind of problem this is could you possibly tell me some information and if there's a recall.

Service traction system light has gone on a number times and then went off again. Now, when it goes on the abs light and the traction off lights also go on. They usually go off while driving. These warning lights do not always go on. If they are going to go on, it will generally be on start up. Today all three lights went on at start up, but the service light went out and the abs and traction lights remained on. Turned vehicle off, then back on and the two lights remained on. I've been told it's a common problem with Impalas, you can spend a lot of time and money trying to figure out the defect without success. I'm worried that our safety might be in jeopardy.

My 2004 Impala has the abs light on. It sounds and feels like the abs is coming on whiile driving. The steering felt odd. I was right by my house so I shut it off and turned back on and drove it the block home. I tried driving it around the block the next day and the same thing happened. I am finding many people posting the same thing on the intranet. Many crashes. I called chevy and we read / located the same recall, from 6/14/04 #04049. We in turn called the dealership, and after many days, ccalls, finally got my car in. They just called saying there is no recall on my specific Impala. It is doing exactly what all the other people/crash victims talk about. I called chevy back and they said it goes by state. I geuss I am suppose to drive it until it crashes and there is an injury/death before they decide that there are more Impala's out there with the same problem that need the recall. I am at wits end and dont know what to do now. My car is at the dealership. I am having an estimate done on doing what the recall stated to do and will then call chevy back to try to push the matter higher up the chain.

Abs and trac off lights come on every time I start the car and stay on till I turn it off. Can't seem to fix it.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the traction and abs light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact mentioned that the vehicle made a loud grinding noise which exacerbated when the brakes were applied. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician replaced the bearings, brakes and two tires. The remedy failed to repair the problem. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 6,984.

Was turning left from stop when traction light came on also abs light and traction off switch light, now it happens in reverse and sometimes when I start the car. It makes a growling sound,if I shut off the car and restart it all the lights go out.

In the center of the dash in the car when I accellerate I hear two thing, a water swishing sound and a grinding sound coming from under the hood . Then my traction control light comes on and sometimes the abs light. Then when I go to brake there is another grinding sound. This does not happen every time. But it does happen often.

Traction control tries to kick when braking. Brakes act as though they are pushing back against my foot pressure at this time. Traction control makes a grinding noise. Vehicle has trouble stopping. Traction control shuts off, warning light to service traction control comes on, abs shuts off and light comes on, and red "brakes" light turns on. Vehicle drives and brakes just fine after that for the remainder of the drive. On occasion these events happen when going over a railroad tracks or other similar bumps and brakes are not involved.

I have a chevy Impala and the service traction light comes on, the traction off light stays on and the abs light stays on then when you use your brakes it is like the brake is pushing your foot back up. This is going to cause someone to get hurt. I have replaced the wheel bearings 5-6 times in a year. It will work for a very few months and then it starts all over again. Last Thursday I had put an expensive set of the wheel bearings on it and brakes all way round on the car. It did not make it out of the shop before all of these lights started coming back on. So I had new wheel bearings put back on it again today and it is still doing this. Gm needs to have this problem fixed. They should do a recall and fix this problem, from what I can read on the internet there is a lot of people having this same issue and it is costing everyone a lot of money.

When pulling out my parking spot, the traction control/abs light comes on and stays on for the duration of my drive which is usually just around 9 miles (I drive to and from work). This has been going on for months and happens every time I pull out from a parking spot. On some occations when trying to stop the brakes make a grinding noise and it takes a bit more effort than usual to stop. What could be causing the traction/abs light to come on everytime I drive my car.

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that when making turns at low speeds, she noticed that the brakes would grind and make a noise. The abs light would illuminate on the vehicle after the failure occurred. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer and they advised her that the abs sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired for the sensor on the brakes. Shortly after leaving the dealer the failure started to occur again. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was unkown and the current mileages were approximately 150,000. The VIN was unavailable. Tb.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. The contact noticed that when he would depress the brake pedal, the brake pedal would become extremely resistant. The abs warning light illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle was taken dealer. The dealer advised that they had to replace the front wheel sensor. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 88,000 and the current mileage was 110,000.

The abs light on my mother's 2004 Chevrolet Impala (only 32,000 miles) abs light recently started coming on. She took it to the local gm dealership. They referenced a gm service bulletin that requires replacement of harnesses and sensors. $367 dealer would not cover warranty because of vehicle age despite our complaint. We elevated the issue up to gm district service (case# 71-898488738). After several calls gm has offered 50% back. Regardless, it is unacceptable to not policy safety system beyond standard warranty coverage. Questionable if this should be recall. We found four other complaints and one investigation in NHTSA data base of same issue.

2004 chevy Impala - abs light and trac off light have intermittently going on and off, then the speedometer started to become inoperative, now the tachometer goes haywire and is stuck over the max. I have read that there are countless complaints of the same nature.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. While driving approximately 8 mph, the contact heard a loud knocking noise coming from the steering column. She also noticed that the abs and traction warning lights were illuminated on the instrument panel. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the abs and steering column. Two weeks later, while driving 60 mph, the contact felt excessive vibration coming from the steering column. She filed a complaint with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 29,901 and current mileage was 32,000.

My 2004 Impala's abs trouble light came on as did the "service traction system" light. The dealers diagnosis based upon abs scanner codes was that the left rear wheel speed sensor had failed/shorted. Gm's sealed wheel hub design on this vehicle meant that in order to replace the wheel speed sensor the entire hub had to be replaced. Since the vehicle has just over 40k miles and is out of warranty, my total cost was over $690 including parts, labor, and taxes. This is absurd and ridiculous. It is unacceptable for the consumer to have to experience this kind of outrageous cost simply to get a sensor replaced. If it were not for the necessity of replacing the entire hub, there is no way that this repair should even cost $100. As a mechanical engineer, I recognize poor design and poor logic when I see it, and this situation certainly falls under those categories. I am extremely dissatisfied that I had no choice but to pay this in order to restore operation of the abs and traction systems. If this is standard gm design practice, I will definitely consider that a negative when purchasing my next vehicle.
