general problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Impala - part 2

Unwanted traction control/abs activation at low speed. It usually happens from a stop when turning left, but also has occurred at low speed when turning left, when going straight over a bumpy road and also when turning right. The roads are dry. Traction control/abs activates with a distinct noise and vehicle hesitation. Dash lights/notifications are usually not activated however service traction control has appeared a few times. This is a safety issue especially when making left turns and the vehicle hesitates in the middle of the turn with on-coming traffic. This has been ongoing for one and a half years very intermittently, but has become constant now every time the car is driven. The car has been to the dealer 3 times for 6 days over the last 2 weeks and has not been fixed. I finally drove with a mechanic and easily replicated the problem several times. The car is currently at the dealer for a 4th time (after the mechanic verified that there is a problem). The car is a safety hazard and the problem must be repaired permanently.

Driving at low speed 40miles or less pull up and stop to make turn and car makes a grinding noise and traction control light comes on. Stalls some before it will pull off. Took to dealership they could not reproduce issue so they stated they couldn't do anything. Left lot and it did it again.

The vehicles traction control light comes on when making slow left turns and the vehicles front wheel seems to lock up it almost feels like having run over something. It seems to happen when turning left after having been at a standstill. This was the second or third time it has happened in two weeks.

When making left turns the esc light flashes and makes a grinding noise and or warnings display to service brake, stability trak control.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. While accelerating from a stop position, a grinding noise was heard and the vehicle jerked. The abs, traction control/stabilitrak, and brake assist warning indicators illuminated. Also, a message warning of icy conditions appeared, but the weather was sunny and clear. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer several times where it was diagnosed with brake and hub bearing failure. The brakes and hub bearings were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

I have a chevy Impala I bought it a year ago July 2016 my service traction control light, service sabilitrak , and service brake assist keeps blinking on and off while driving my brakes automatically contracts as if my car is trying to stop itself making me jerks and the car jerks reported it to my finance company that finance the car and the company that I bought the car from so it should be on record thank you for your time. P. S my car brakes contracts, jerks when I am driving on the street and on the freeway. My car brakes contract when I am driving in motion and when I'm turning after I come from a complete stop.

This is the second time this has happened in a year. The first time I was driving and the car just slowed down with service stabilitrak popping up on the dash. Took it to the dealership and had to pay 900 out of pocket to fix. Now just happened again this morning Jan 6, 2017. Called Chevrolet corporate office and they said this is something I will have to continue to pay for out of pocket. This needs to be a recall.

After reversing, then when accelerating out to make a left turn, my car makes a grinding noise, I can feel it in my accelerator and I lose power, my traction control light goes on, sometimes my brake assist, abs, and stabiltrak lights come on too. . . If I back off and try again I can then accelerate out and proceed as normal, happens intermittently, hard to duplicate, makes me feel unsafe if I need to accelerate out of a turn then I will not have the ability to do so. I want to take it in to see if it needs a repair, but by reading forums, many many people have had this same problem with the chevy Impala and have paid hundreds of dollars to get different things fixed, and it doesn't solve the issue. Started 3 weeks ago, and has happened many time in that 3 weeks. My car has about 85,000 miles on it. I use to love my Impala, now just want to get rid of it.

The abs, traction control, brake assist and sbilitrak warning lights come on intermittently while driving. A grinding noise can be heard coming from the front-left wheel. This usually occurs while accelerating from a dead stop or making left turns from a dead stop. I have gotten both hubs replaced and it still is happening.

Bought my 2013 Impala used but around 25000 miles started getting issues with turning left and accelerating. The traction control will engage and cause the car to hesitate. Big issue when trying to cross in front of oncoming traffic. Had into the dealer many times but they do not seem to know what the issue is. Twice I have had all the lights go off and power reduced while on the interstate. They have replaced the computer twice for that one. This might be my last chevy. 3/36 warranty is a joke anymore!.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the electronic stability control warning indicator kept illuminating. While making left turns, the wheels on the vehicle made an abnormal noise and the speed reduced. It was difficult to accelerate each time the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer more than twice for various repairs, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. While driving the vehicle at any speed and veering left, the tires spun and the instrument panel displayed the vehicle icon and "stability track service". The vehicle was driven to a mechanic, but was not diagnosed. The failure recurred multiple times. The approximate failure mileage was 34,700.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. While driving 25 mph, the electronic stability control warning indicator illuminated. While attempting to make a right turn, the front driver's side wheel seized, and the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. While test driving the vehicle, the mechanic experienced the failure. The contact was informed that the front driver's side wheel hub assembly, stabilizer bar, the front driver and passenger side tie rods, and brakes should be replaced to mitigate the failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

In 2016 I was driving to work when the check engine light, traction control light, abs light, service stabilitrack light and service brake assist light came on all at the same time. I took it to chevy dealer and they claimed my car was misfiring, along with the left wheel hub, and a tune up. Long story short, in three months I spent about $3000 on something that is continuing to happen. But the difference is now it feels like my brakes slip when the lights come on. And they come on and off and on and off. . I could just have turned the car on and the lights are dinging. I tried to see if general motors will help me, and of course they cannot do anything. As I read through all of these complaints, it makes me feel less crazy since every time I take it to a shop the diagnostic machine doesn't pick up any codes. This needs to be a recall before someone gets hurt. And general motors needs to do better in making their consumers happier with their products.

When starting from a standstill, the traction control system seems to kick in and the indicator light comes on. Initial occurrences only seemed to happen when turning left from a standstill, but now it is occurring when turning either direction from a standstill. This is occurring at low speeds on both dry and wet pavement with very little acceleration (I. E. , no tire slippage).

Break and steering system defect. While driving the antilock break light came on, also the traction control, stabili-trak, and break assist lights started flashing. The car was being driven in downtown traffic at moderate speed. The vehicle was taken to a local dealership who said that this was not a safety problem (what!!!!) and that it was not covered under the drivetrain but only part of the 30k coverage. They then said it would be at least a week before they could look at the car. (break and steering issues not a safety problem?) in doing some checking on the internet it appears that this is a serious and ongoing issue with cheverolet and gm vehicles for several years. In addition to the above problem there have been even more serious side effects associated with the break, stability system. Some even reported to your department. It would be good if your department would be proactive and have this issue investigated by someone other than gm. Before there are fatalities associated with this issue. Perhaps you could spend some time looking at the various forums on the web and see that there seems to be a major problem here. I doubt anything will be done but thank you for allowing me to vent. I am writing this to help my son out since it is his car, and he a) has a full load in college and b) he is a less happy camper than I am.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. While driving 65 mph, the stabilitrac control, service traction control, esc, and engine warning indicators illuminated. The cruise control light turned off and, while depressing the brake pedal, there was a clicking noise coming from the glove compartment. In addition, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.

Car makes grinding noise on low speed left turns. Engine hesitates when making left hand turn from dead stop . Very dangerous .

The abs, traction control, brake assist and sbilitrak warning lights come on intermittently while driving. A grinding noise can be heard coming from the front-left wheel. This usually occurs while accelerating from a dead stop or making left and/or right turns from a dead stop.

The traction and/or suspension causes the car to stall when turning. It is very dangerous because the car does not move and could cause the driver (and passengers) to be in an accident. Once the car gets in motion, it moves at an accelerated speed to catch up to what the normal speed would have been. This happens mainly on city streets as a result of turning. There have also been times the car was unable to be in motion when simply stopping at a stop sign and driving forward.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced difficulty accelerating and made abnormal grinding noises during turns. The stabilitrak, abs, and service traction control warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Service traction control, engine power reduced. Message came on at highway speed and cut engine power reducing speed to 25mph nearly causing an accident. Throttle body needs to be replaced apparently a common problem over multiple years why was there no recall or at least a notification there could be a problem instead of letting someone's car shut down on the freeway with no warning?.

Mostly when turning while in reverse, the traction control light comes on and the car hesitates slightly. There is also a grinding noise. This will happen occasionally going forward. During the summer months this happens several times week. During the cooler months it only happens occasionally. The car will be four years old in 08/2017 and it has less than 28,000 miles on it. This problem started in 06/2016 when the car had approximately 20,000 miles on it. Had the brakes looked at and was told they were fine. Can't seem to figure out what the problem is or how to fix it.

Car loses power and stabilitrak warning come on while driving no engine power at all . Check engine light come on and stays on till I shut off engine and turn back on only then engine light disappears my car only has 37,000 miles and is 3 year old its happen on the highway three time and in the parking lot of my work twice now.

My stabilitrack and abs keeps coming on and off. It does not matter if I am driving on a side stree or on the beltway. Beltway driving is dangerous and scary as the car seems like it is brakeing and then speeding up. Making turns it does the same and "jumps" when I use the brakes. This is all very dangerous situation and should be looked at ASAP. I has been happening for 5 months and the service people can not see any issues.

My 2013 chevy Impala is having big issues making left turns. There is a grinding sound and the car hesitates to accelerate. While these problrms occur I am getting warnings on the dash that say service traction control, service brake assist, and the abs light is on. Starting to not feel safe to be in this vehicle. Also had it checked twice by two different auto shops and they cant seem to find the problem.

While drving at any speed the stability control system activated resulting in reduced power, left side noise from wheel and rumbling in the brake pedal. Took it to my local chevy shop and paid over 500 dollars to replace "gyro". Couple of weeks later had the same problem. Returned to the dealership and was told that my alternator was bad. Had it checked out and the alternator has no problems or codes when it was checked. The only codes that shows point to the stability control system!!!. Fustrated with chevy do to lack of concern. Considering the lemon law as a means of fixing the problem. This is my last chevy product!!!!!!.

Often when I accelerate my 2013 chevy Impala especially when turning, the car will make a grinding noise and the vehicle will hesitate to accelerate and errors appear for stability track and abs. This occurs on both paved and sand roads and in any road condition. I took it in to my dealer and they replaced a censor (for about $300 bucks when it was all said and done. ) which fixed the problem for about a week, now it¿s back and in many traffic situations, very dangerous. It stared at about 30k miles.

I was pulling out on highway 59,car made a grinding noise as I turned left,traction stabilitrac and abs flashed,changed the wheel bearing and harness,stabilitrak still coming on noise is still there. . . Car will lock up on you in traffic. I have custody of my grandkids and now have no way to take them to school. . . Because my car with 43,300 miles on it is unsafe.

For the past 2 months my car is having major trouble. It started with me hearing a grinding noise when I made left turns. This has now developed to making a noise when I make left turns to making it when I am backing out, and occasionally stalling when pulling off from a red light. This has put me in some dangerous situations. About a month ago 2 light and 2 messages came up on my dash. They were service stabilitrak and service brake assist. My brake light and my traction light are also on. I took my car into the dealership and they said my hub needed to be replaced. I had the part replaced and I am still having the same problem. Noone seems to know what the issue is.

I have a 2013 Impala, the traction control kicks in when making left turns from a stop. This is my third Impala; 2003, 2009 and this 2013. All three with the same issue so this is my last Impala. Hey gm, get your act together!.

When accelerating from a stop while turning left, abs engages and brakes left front wheel creating a very dangerous situation stopping the car in intersections without warning. Service stabilitrak, service abs and service brake assist messages also appear on dashboard message center. All warning lights reset when vehicle is turned off, until a left turn is made while accelerating again, and the above issues occur again.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. Shortly after the vehicle was repaired for a recall with the ignition switch, the stability, traction control, abs, and other warning lights randomly flashed. The failure progressed each time the vehicle was reversing and when making left and right turns. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

When making a sharp left or right turn the one wheel would make a popping or grinding noise. Had 37000 m7les on car. Took it to dealer 3 times before the instrument panel indicated traction control problem. They replacd both speed control harnesses. Cost $750. Tech stated I may get money back should there be a recall. To this date no recall.

Traction control activates while making left turn when leaving a stop or a red light or at any other occasion that requires making a left turn after being stopped. Causing the vehicle to hesitate and in the process creating a very dangerous situation. This has occurred on five different occasions during the past few days. Has only occurred when turning left from a complete stop. There seems to be a metal sound the fourth time. Have tried to get it looked at and no one seems to know what to do. Very concerned about the safety of driving this car. Also done it once when I was backing out from a parked position.
