I was driving my 2017 Chevrolet Impala it started jerk and then stall out I had to have the car towed home onstar sent me the codes saying it was ecm and tcm problem that very scary I was in the middle of the road.

Water leaking in trunk through the gaskets by brakes lights shorts out brakes lights and stops them from working as well as builds a poodle. Where the spare tire is and rust the bottom .

A/c was blowing warm air. Took vehicle to service center for repair. Air compressor was replaced. After 2 days of driving a total of 40 miles, warm air continued to blow. Returned to service center only to find an evaporator core failure. Gm issued a bulletin n182186881 regarding this repair and they advised to file this complaint.

Vehicle was driving and operating as normal. I drove to shopping center, was in store for an hour and came out to a car full of smoke when door opened. There appeared to be a fire that had started and stopped originating from the drivers side door panel.

I have had this car for a few years and the evaporator core has failed, the car will blow air but it is very very hot air. The faulty evaporator core is a direct result of gm using cheaply made parts not inspected to the standard prior to installation into the vehicle. Having previously owned this car in hawaii and still owning it in a hot climate, the interior temperature exceeds well over 150 degrees fahrenheit. This presents a serious safety hazard due to the potential for heat stroke, heat exhaustion and heat cramps which can effect the ability of the driver to control the vehicle appropriately. Children in the back seat, the elderly and even competent adults are at risk. No one should be expected to pay to repair a safety hazard that gm has known about and ignored other than a bulletin the left many owners without a repair. This issue is clearly a serious safety concern and should be handled appropriately by gm.

The hmi module has gone out. This affects the rear view camera and the entire display. Secondly, since then the power steering has also gone out on the car while in motion!! it went out suddenly. Brand new battery still not resolved. These problems are both electrical and seem to be now common problems. Gm should issue recall as this can cause major accident and loss of life. The absence of rear camera makes vehicle out of compliance with the laws stating that all later models should have camera. There is nothing that can cause these problems. It is simply a defect in the electrical system design. These problems cost thousands of dollars to fix and usually don't malfunction till after warranty has expired.

Nov 2018: center console / tv failure including back-up camera along with infotainment. Occurred just after 36,000 miles, thus gm warranty did not cover and repair cost for hmi module = $732 though we do have a 3rd party ext. Warranty, we still paid $200+ out of pocket and feel it irresponsible for gm electronics to fail just 1 year after model year (as electronics normally should not relate to # miles) - should be a factory recall. Repeated attempts to contact Chevrolet senior support by phone to discuss situation went unanswered. During the time the console was out (but car still drive-able), we had reduced rear visibility and were more fearful about backing up, especially in areas with many children present.

On November 17th and 20th of 2018 while at mall parking lot and at drug store as I proceed to leave my car's battery had completely drained it's power. No lights or doors were left on and I had to get aaa to boost me on those two occasions. When I took the car back to the dealer they simply said they could not find anything wrong or locate the problem after keeping the car for a day. I purchased this car new September 2017 and has less than 12,000 miles as of today. What am I suppose to dojust keep going as if no problem exist? it is a good car and this is the first problem I've experienced but someone needs to take responsibility, no fun being stranded and technicians at dealership unable to locate problems.

Then on 6/21/2018 there was an extreme safety event with rodent damage to soy based fuel line elbow on top of fuel tank that pumped out 8 gallons of gas on top of hot exhaust system with the potential of fire in rear of car in 10 miles of travel from hebron,in to lowell,in.

Poor front low beam headlights light up the road only showing the bottom 40% of the windshield and poor lighting to the side of the road. The top 60% of the windshield as you look forward is dark the headlights only show 3 possible 4 car lengths in front of the car. At 60 mph you should be able to see farther than over 6 car lengths ahead on low beams not 3 and not over 1/2 your visibility in the dark very unsafe.
