2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2020

Stabiltrak abs traction control warning lights all come on vehicle shudders and power is reduced. Researched and found 100's of reports of the same issue with the Impala and similar complaints in the light truck and SUV models. Fix is relatively inexpensive if your mechanically / electrically inclined as involves splicing in a new wire harness for the abs sensor. Said harness is about $20 it shorts out due to insufficient gauge of wire used on original factory install. Replace harness has much sturdier gauge from what my research says. Repair shop quoted $700 to repair glad I told them to put it back together. They have a fleet of Impalas as loaners so they know they are gouging people when they say replace wheel hub assembly abs sensor and wiring harness when they know it's the abs sensor period. Chevy needs to do a recall. Issue happens when car is in motion after turning or going over a bump wiring that has been wore thru due to placement of wiring in a high friction area, wire wears through coating exposes wiring that shorts out and sends codes to computer concerning abs stabiltrak and traction assist causes vehicle to behave erratically others have reported caused vehicle to stall and not restart until problem corrected. I'm sure they are gouged for a thousand $ or more. Wet road conditions,extreme heat or cold,left turn while backing, jarring bumps, all trigger the dash to light up like christmas tree dinging alarm goes off steering shudders power is reduced. It's a huge distraction and safety concern for so many to be experiencing gm should stand up and take care of the problem.

3 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 04/27/2020

It keeps saying on the odometer electric stability control or track and lower the power. My car was on motion on a city street with cars all around us. I've read that several people were having trouble with the same thing. Why don't they recall.

4 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 03/23/2019

I purchased my vehicle on March 23 2019 . I have made several repairs to car but the problem persists . If I'm at a stop and I proceed to drive and make a left my car will make a grinding noise and the traction control light will flash it makes it dangerous to join traffic safely . I looked online and several people have the same exact issue with their vehicles . Service traction control. Service stabilitrak service brake assist will go on when I try to make a u turn . . Ive replaced left driver side wheel hub with abs sensor replaced tpms and had alignment done . I felt the tea admission is being affected by this issue . So I had it serviced as well . I feel chevy should do a recall immediately.

5 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2019

I was in motion on a 50 mph state road, when all of a sudden my dash started dinging and when I looked down it stated "service stabilitrac" , and "engine power reduced". My car suddenly went down to about 40 mph and would not go any faster. It appears chevy has had recalls for this issue, but not for my model year.

6 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2018

There is a "known" issue with this vehicle, especially when turning left. The car will decelerate and traffic is a safety issue. I found the cause via google and needs to get addressed. The car will always display driver feedback on the dashboard. It simulates when driving through an icy patch. The car will not excel but rather decelerate. This happened to me just last week turning into payton manning children's hospital.

7 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2018

My vehicle has 66,000 miles on it. I am taking it in for the 3rd time due to the service stabilitrak and service abs warning. The car makes a grinding noise in the front end when turning (usually left) or when shifting from reverse to drive. The front speed control hub has been replaced twice to supposedly correct his problem. However, since it is happening again, I am relatively certain that the hub will need to be replaced a third time. That is unacceptable in a vehicle with only 66,000 miles on it.

8 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 11/19/2017

Was driving then all of a sudden the car stopped accelerating. I was getting the following warnings: service traction control, track stability, and engine power reduced.

9 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 09/26/2017

At roughly 26,000 miles my abs, stabilitrac, and traction control lights came on. I took my car to dealership to repair ignition recall, they replaced the abs wire harness and corrected the the problem. At roughly 56,000 and 86,000 the abs, stabilitrac, and traction control lights came back on. I am carrying my car back into the dealership again tomorrow for the 3rd time for the same issue. My car is now decelerating on its own and the wheels are abruptly locking. The car is moving during all of these incidents. My car has begun flashing abs, stabilitrac, and traction control lights and abruptly decelerating on its own at 60/75 miles per hour.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. While driving at a low speed and attempting to make a left turn, the traction control engaged independently, which caused the vehicle to decelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle speed control wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

11 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2016

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!.

14 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2016

My 2013 Impala ltz will suddenly decelerate to around 35 mph and hesitate when you hit the gas. Three messages pop up, "traction control off", "engine power is reduced" and "service stabilitrak". This happened to me a few months ago and I brought it right in to global chevy in north plainfield, NJ. They fixed and it seemed fine but now happening again but this time, I almost got t-boned in an intersection. I have found this has happened to many people in many different forums. Now I need to get the vehicle to the dealer again. This should be a recall!!!!!!!! I almost got smashed and I will be making sure this is documented in as many forums as possible. This is a chevy problem. I got charged over $650 to fix this last time!!!!!!!! I am upset as hell and not really sure what to make of this. I need to drive my kids around in this time bomb now? I refuse to pay for something that is such a danger to operate. Secondary issue is that sometimes when backing out of a spot in reverse, applying drive and trying to move forward, the sounds like gears grinding that goes away if I straighten the wheel out. Wth is that?? this happened at the light on centennial avenue in piscataway NJ crossing over s washington Ave. Was stationary, then in motion. The auto deceleration happened while at speed of 35 mph and then it would not accelerate when pressing the gas. I have an invoice for the first repair. I would appreciate expedited help on the matter.
