When making turns, left turns especially, the car hesitates and makes a grinding noise. It feels like it loses power, and will not move, which is very scary and dangerous in the middle of rush hour traffic in a busy city. Sometimes the stabilyzer and/or traction control lights come one during these episodes. This is the 3rd time I have had to have my car serviced for the exact same problem. I am a single divorced 55 year old woman, I do not have the time away from work or the money to continue to spend on repairs that I have no choice or control over. Please recall this problem. I have read hundreds of complaints about the same thing online when I researched my problem. Recall !!! or do we have to get killed before you the manufacturer does that?.

Service abs/stabilitrack is displaying often. Grinding noise, decreased power and car will nearly stop on you from time to time, particularly when turning. Taken to dealership, more than once, they get no codes on diagnostic. I believe this is a wiring issue. However, this defect is found in many years of the same make of vehicle. At times when turning, the stopping of the vehicle could harm or kill me or my family. There is bound to be lawsuits if this is not recalled. A search online produces hundreds with the same issue.

I continue to have problems with my front left hub after replacing. I have replaced the wiring harness as well. Wondered if there are service bulletins with this same issue. While driving the car it makes a horrible grinding noise described to me as the hub adjusting the speed of one tire to match the other. It also flashes brake assist and stabilitrack issues as well as anti lock alert. This happens mostly turning left but most recently even while driving straight down the road.

The vehicle traction control system (tcs) - "service system" warning message appeared ( lit up ) on dash display as the vehicle operator attempted to pull out into traffic, making a left turn onto the roadway. The warning message was accompanied by a grinding noise in area of the left front wheel and a sudden decrease in engine power and self slowing/braking of the vehicle suddenly, causing other vehicle operators on the roadway to take evasive action to prevent a collision. The owner contacted several dealers about this problem as the "service traction controll" warning activated three times previously but without power loss on those occasions. The vehicle owner was advised by all the dealers that they "can only diagnose the problem when the warning light is lit as it is a random problem. " this is a life threatening defect that is widely known by Impala owners and Chevrolet dealers for the past seven or eight years and nothing has been done to effect a safety recall.

Front disc brakes make a grinding noise when applied especially going downhill. Rotors and pads are in perfect condition. Dealer said that they are noted for this problem yet they will do nothing to correct as there is plenty of pad left. Noise is very bothersome. It sounds as if the pads are worn out and starting to grind into the rotors. This is definitely a factory defect and gm should offer a new type of pads to eliminate the noise! these are the factory original pads on the car.

Consumer took vehicle to jims mufflers to get the brakes fixed. The mechanic took off all four tires and showed the consumer that he needed to replace front and back rotors and pads.

Consumer claimed that vehicle had not been in water. The mechanic stated that maybe the rotors or calipers were contaminated because brakes should not have looked that bad for the miles on the vehicle.

Refer to the gm recall on 800,000 vehicles due corrosion affects antilock brake system. I own a chevy Impala 2003 4dr sdn v6 fwd w/antilock brakes and aws. The system failed much like in the above stated recall last winter in michigan. While approaching a stop sign, upon attempting slow the vehicle using the brake system it failed doing just the opposite of what it was designed to do. There were grinding noises, vehicle pulling to one side, loss of control, vehicle took over. This happened at low speeds under 5 mph. The loss of control due system failure resulted in said vehicle ending up in a 70 foot ditch whereupon it had to be towed out of. Damage was sustained to the front left fender, bumper and driving light.
