The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, there was an abnormally loud sound coming from behind the dashboard. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the air control motor was defective and needed to be replaced. The air control regulator arm motor was replaced however, the failure recurred. A dealer was not contacted or informed of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
The radio works when it wants to shows a blank screen and does absolutely nothing. My door chimes, ignition chime, seat belt chimes, turn signal chimes none of that works either. Not sure if it's an electrical issue. However I had my battery and alternator tested. Have been having this issue for maybe 2 months now.
My car is trying to kill me. At a complete stop when I hit the gas the traction control comes on. My dash says service stabilitrak , traction control and abs. I must turn off the traction control to drive my vehicle. With all that, if I drive up hill it turns the traction control on, the abs and traction control light up and the lights stay on. When the car is restarted all the lights go away. Twice I was pulling onto the highway from a stop. That situation happened and my car didnt move. Luckily the car was able to move or else I would have severly injured. This happens with my vehicle daily. I took my car in because my alternator failed. I told the dealership about a TSB for the issue and they did nothing. It also happens a lot if im accelerating while turning a corner. The dash lights up like christmas lights.
