general problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Impala

Service stabilitrak traction light comes on and front left side on car makes noise when turn sterring wheel to left and abs light comes on when this light comes on.

Consistent problems/issues with the traction control turning off randomly while driving the vehicle. Which causes the car to almost stall, have issues accelerating, make a grinding/scraping noise until we manually turn the traction control off. Most of the issues/sounds stop shortly after turning it off, but car still has issues accelerating and feels like it’s going to stall.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala equipped with an oem jack, part number: 13500018. The contact stated while jacking up the vehicle to change a tire, the jack folded and caused the vehicle to fall. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Stolen vehicle.

My car keeps turning off on me while im driving.

Does not shift into gear smoothly. I can feel a jerk when transmission changes gears. There is a delayed response when when excelerating from a standstill. This vehicle had 36000 miles when we noticed the problem 4 months ago. Problem code p0989 shown when recently checked by mechanic. Another problem ivolves an intermittent metallic grinding noise when making a left turn at low speeds.

Since I purchase the car December 2016, I have had an issue with the front driver wheel well. From a tire rod, cv axle, wheel hub, and the stabilitrak off light. Today, I get an engine light and my car slowed down drastically. Now I have a check engine light, service stabilitrak, engine power reduce, stabilitrak off and traction off!.

I have a loud ticking noise inside the dash (passenger side) that starts when the a/c is turned off. Also happens if the a/c in the on position when the vehicle is turned off for quite sometime. Very annoying and scary. This happens while driving or when the key is not in the vehicle.

Second complaint original nhsta reference # 1128286 filed on 8/17/2017randimly the abs and traction control light comes in even when traction control is off. When turning there is a loud grinding noise the car also hestitates and looses power.

Second complaint. First complaint was filed on 8/17/2117 nhsts reference # 1128287. The cat randomly the abs and tractionconyrol light comes on even when tractionconyrol is off it then make a grinding sound when making turns and looses power and hesitates. It just randomly does this.

From a stop, when I turn left or right, the traction control/stability control actuates causing the car to significantly reduce forward movement and hear a grinding or scraping noise causing an unsafe situation in heavy traffic. Have had other motorists honking etc. On a highway.

Hard popping in the dashboard. . . . I know 3 other people that have had the same problem. . . . Is this not means for a recall. . . . Just cost me 1000 dollars. With a warranty so why isn't this covered in a bumper to bumper warranty?.

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.

Takata recall- faulty ac flap. Causes the ac to make loud popping noise and drains energy from the battery.

My car has been making a grinding noise when backing up or turning left. It does it once in a while. When accelerated it doesn't go anywhere then it takes off. Almost caused my daughter to have a wreck today and I'm not pleased. Took it to a few places to have it checked and it wouldn't do it. After today, I am not to happy with my 2013 Chevrolet Impala ltz. Something needs to be done about this continuing problem with these cars. Is it gonna take someone to die before Chevrolet does something about it. My daughter was turning into a busy intersection when this happened.

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.

When making left turns, the car hesitates, and there is a grinding noise, while turning. The problem is happening more often.

12,000 miles stability control , and abs light came on service required. Light stays on 5-10 minutes goes out randomly dealers baffled for the cause, dealer says unless they can duplicate it, warning light to come on they can't service. ,I went for an oil change at midas they checked it said it was the wheel bearing sensor that governs that I replace the wheel bearing , okay for a while now back on again in less than a thousand miles. Stability control is very valuable for cars nowadays so this is definitely a safety factor if stability control is lost. Reports on the internet of people replacing all the wheel bearings on the front hubs and everything and still having the same problem so this is not an isolated incident.

I bought a 2013 chevy Impala. I have not had the car for even a year yet, and every time I turn the car on you can hear a knocking noise coming from the dashboard. Every time I turn the car on or off. I checked with a mechanic, he told me that they have to remove the whole dash board in order to fix it! I believe this should be a recall! I previously had a 2008 also Impala as well, and it did the same thing. The reason I bought this 2013 Impala is because I like chevy¿s, but I didn¿t think this would happen again that is a shame that your company doesn¿t do a recall for this problem.

Right side no longer gets heat and actuator has gone bad car ticks the passenger airbag light does not show on the seat belt indicator for passenger does not go out.

Control arm - l& r - o/a may 19, 2015 backing out of my driveway and turning steering wheel I heard a grinding noise; made a left turn heard it again. I took the car to the place where I bought it. Told the svc. Manager about the problem; I don't know if anybody test drove it or just looked under the car; he didn't find any problems. A month later it started acting again with the strange noise; I took it to a different 'certified chev dealer'. A tech rode with me and heard the noise immediately; appoint was made immediately; supposedly repaired. . . I drove it another month. Then the same noise started on the right side; took it back to the same dealer. Once again 'control arm', supposedly repaired . . . Wrong !!!! now 8/04/15, turning the wheel again, the same grinding noise started. I want to take it back to the last shop but first I want in put from your office. The car has only 14000 miles.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated when the passener's side door open it makes an abnormal noise coming from the dashboard, while the vehicle is turned off. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. Bm.

Car has a grinding noise and hesitates when taking a left turn from a stop. Only happens intermittently at this point. Feels like the traction control coming on for no reason. (but then I am not a mechanic) no indicator lights on the dashboard come on when it happens. It is dangerous because the car hesitates and pulling out into traffic this is an uncomfortable situation. Sometimes it may happen 5 to 6 times a day and then it stops and doesn't happen for days or weeks again. Does not seem to be related to weather conditions as it happens at all different times. Brought it to the dealer and they cannot diagnose the issue because it doesn't happen when they drive it. They checked the car and cannot find a problem. Told to bring it back if the problem persists and gets more frequent.

My front left tire, which is a goodyear eagle p225/55r17/sl gdy b01 LS-2 95t0, blew out in three places on the outside of the thread. The incident could have been much worse. I bought my 2013 chevy Impala last October. I had my tires rotated last at jimmy gray Chevrolet in southaven, ms 38671. I have only 37,000 miles on the car. I feel goodyear owes me a new tire, because of what happened. If they would pay me $140. I will be happy. I will save the tire for evidence, if they wish.

I have had this worked on about 1 month of purchase. I was told the cheap ball bearings in the wheels are faulty. My car makes a strange noise when I turn the steering wheel and it lunges for a split second and then engages forward. Also when I am braking down a steep incline, the brakes grab and jerk the car slightly. This has gone on since I purchased this car.

Car warning lights come on for traction control breaks and throws car into oncoming traffic at random times without warning. It is very unsafe and is on a recall list. I should not been sold a lemon car.

The plastic for the base foot/recline came out of the seat along with the metal spring. See enclosed photos. Bf.

When turning the wheel to the left at low speeds (like when backing out of my driveway) the abs light comes on; the front left wheel makes a grinding noise in conjunction with the light blinking; there is an immediate loss of power, like the car is being held back by something. Same happens when turning, on a hill coming from a complete stop but this is random and not easily re-created. I've also noticed a wobble in the steering when taking bends on the highway at high speeds. It seems to have gotten worse since I took it in for service a few days ago. I've resorted to turning the traction control off before putting the car in drive and this seems to ameliorate the problem. Took the vehicle in for service and demonstrated the problem to them and they agreed that it was obviously not performing as it should. They had a mechanic look at it and determine that there was nothing structurally wrong with any of the components that he could tell and that there were "no codes being thrown" - whatever that means. So they told me there is nothing they can do for me, it cannot be "fixed" because, according to gm there is nothing wrong with my car even though it is a demonstrable equipment failure. I should not have to turn off the traction control -a safety feature!- on my car to drive it without loosing power at the worst times. My car is a 2013 chevy Impala LS with almost 15,500 miles on it.

I just purchased my 2013 Chevrolet Impala ltz in the last 30 days. Have driven less than 1500 miles. While highway driving, I received a service stabilitrak and a slight noise occurred while driving. Gm customer care was closed at that time, however next morning the service warning was off. . . But I still followed up with gm. The customer care representative said most likely if the service warning went off - it was just a glitch. However, I was also able to confirm at that time that because I have the bumper to bumper warranty, it is a covered issue and I could still take it in to be looked at and any authorized gm dealer. Now just to figure out where. . .
