4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2023

Fourth time I had submitted this text so this one will be vague. I've had to repair my stuts and shocks and brakes to my vehicle due to ongoing issues with tires while divingand hitting small speesbumps and potholes. I did replace low performance tires and still was an issue with my struts and shocks when I drive causing me to hit a bump or a small hole and diverts me to the next lane of ongoing traffic also I had to my battery replaced twice. To find out that it was only due to corrosion and the battery cables slipping was frustrating cause I did replace the battery and key fob battery already. Car wouldn't start and when it did it took forever hours to restart and engine still seems to get bogged down in ongoing traffic. Which was the prior issue no power no matter how hard I press the gas. I took to autozone and they did a reading which came back that everything was okay including the battery which was obviously not okay. It was leaking fluid and I have already replaced year and half ago due to same issue. They cables seem to slip over time on its own. What to do? thank you for your time to look into this issue. Kindest regards.

When pulling up to a stoplight the car would often downshift, surge with power, and nearly overpower the brakes. The car started losing oil from its rear main seal. When I finally had the seal replaced the repair shop found that pieces of the thrust bearing were laying in the oil pan. The engine and transmission had to be removed from the vehicle in order to replace the thrust bearing. They showed me a box full of parts, but I did not keep any.

8 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/26/2021

The 2014 chevy Impala is dangerous. When the rocker arm control valve and related parts fail or the camshaft solenoids and sensors fail the car will drive rough and eventually just cut off in the middle of traffic highway or residential. This is what it did on me, putting me in a very dangerous position. The economic loss is still devastating financially as all 2. 5 and 3. 6 engines arent covered by gm special warranty but they should be all covered. My VIN number was not included when it should be.

10 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2021

It was a recall issued in 2014 for stabilitrak for bad grounds on my chevy Impala and I went to chevy about it and paid for the diagnostics to check and they told me it was the transmission that I needed. Also, the paper doesn't tell me I needed a transmission fixed, so I took it to 3 different transmission shops and they said it was the ground that was bad. But I was not paying for it and it was a recall issued in 2014 that is happening and is happening to several others as well. I called the gm and asked if its anything they can do about it since it was unde recall they are saying no. And the I have to go pay for diagnostics again so they can see what it is because it may not be same and I did before and chevy said it was the transmission and the other shops said the transmission is in great shape it was the grounds thats bad and that if the issue was under a recall it should be done again. I take this as safety issue and it puts me and my family in danger and it is my only transportation . So I have my son picking me for work.

My car was taken to be inspected by courtesy Chevrolet. They clearly documented that I did have a problem with the catalytic converter.

Faulty rocker arm oil control valve, code p2646. Gm refuses to recall though it's known issue. Gm does not have part nor are they producing it, but there's numerous complaints online and this is a major safety issue. How am I supposed to fix it and make my car safe if they won't make the part? either they recall it or they pay for fix at dealership. I've had two separate mechanics verify this issue and can provide documentation if asked. If I need to hire lawyer for class-action suit I can. There is already a petition on change. . Read more...

24 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2019

Around 100,000 miles (about 5 years old) I started receiving a side detection system warning and ignored it for a couple of months because I didn't feel like I was dependent on the blind spot warnings. One morning I started my vehicle and I got an error message for about every sensor on the car. The car started it but the engine was running rough. Luckily, I was able to make it to a mechanic. They found out that the electrical system was shorting out due to the bad side detection system sensor. I had to pay almost $750 to replace the bad sensor. The worst part is now about 18,000 miles later, I'm getting the same side detection system error. It must be a serious design flaw if the replacement part is lasting less than 20,000 miles and less than year. Now, I have to balance wasting another $750 versus my electrical system shorting out due to the failing sensor - hopefully, this shorting out doesn't occur during heavy traffic and cause an issue. A few simple internet searches shows that many car owners are having this issue, I can't believe the government doesn't force chevy to issue a recall.

26 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2018

On October 4 while driving on a 2 lane highway in ash flat, arkansas,my 2014 Chevrolet Impala's engine quit running suddenly. I had no power whatsoever. Fortunately, I was able to reach the shoulder of the road. After turning the key off I then back on I was able to start the engine. It seems to be okay. I shudder to think what could have happened on a busy interstate. Needless to say, I am apprehensive about driving this vehicle in heavy traffic. I noticed there have been two other similar incidents reported on same year/model cars, I have 55,000. Miles on my vehicle.

32 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2015

I have a 2014 Impala limited I started having problems within 6 months after I bought the vehicle from bergstrom Chevrolet in wisconsin it was involving the abs anti-lock stability track and traction control and the braking and steering we're all feeling and locking up while I was driving it presented and problems and endangering my life and the life of any passengers in the vehicle the brakes will lock up and there was no warning before I locked up no lights came on and it would pull to the left or pull to the right depending on which abs was locking up and it was fixed one time at the dealership then it was fixed again at the dealership later maybe about another 3 to 6 months after and went up for the same thing again and the parts were replaced now I again have had nothing but problems with the braking system. Also the valve that controls the pressure in the fuel tank malfunctioned which caused the car to run irrraticaly it would start hard,stop running at all stops rough ideling and unable to pump gas into the car without the gas pump stopping continuously making the time that it would take to fill the gas tank 3 to 4 times longer than it did that was fixed and it is malfunctioning again. I'm on my fourth time of having my car anti-lock brake system failing on my car multiple systems including the electrical system failing. The dash lights would go off on. The exterior lights going off and on. The car has been off of the streets and unable to be driven many times. I have taken my car in to the dealership from where I purchased it from. By the third time my car warranty had expired. Then everything was still not repaired all the systems were not ever working correctly. And now the repairs were needed to be paid in full by myself. The cost to me had just begun when it should have been resolved. In excess of $6,000 was what it would cost me the third time I had the Impala in for everything and now it's gone out again and I'm having to get this repaired.

33 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2013

At 70 mph vehicle slowed on its own. Vehicle information center read "stabilitrak and engine power is reduced". Got yellow traction control sysytem light on the instrument panel with a "malfunction indicator light" below the speedometer. Engine running rough at ashland, va exit. Engine was shut down then restarted with same warnings as before. Approximately 45 mins later restarted to have a local Chevrolet dealer look at the car. On restart, all warnings and indicator lights except for the "malfunction indicator light" were out and engine ran normally. Dealer guessed that it was probably a "glitch" and it was probably ok to drive. The 800 or so miles to sarasota were without problems. On 8/5/2013 took car to local dealer approximately 3 miles from my home. On entering the dealer's parking lot at approximately 10 mph the problem reappeared I. E. "engine power reduced with stabilitrak" with warning lights as before. This is a safety issue as it can happen at any time!!.
