Check Engine Light On Problems of Chevrolet Impala - part 1

While driving from work the car did a quick jerk and the stabilitrak, abs and check engine light all came on all at once. As I pulled into my workplace the car lost power to the engine completely while displaying action required on the lcd screen. The brake and steering wheel became stiff and it was hard to control the vehicle. It took 10 minutes for me to regain power and control over the vehicle that again after leaving work stopped on the highway.

I was driving on the interstate and the dash lit up service traction system and engine power reduced. I was currently using cruise control so it shocked me when my car went from 75 to 40 quick. I was in five o�clock traffic and almost rear ended. Check engine light came on as well. I'm planning on getting it looked at.

This has been happening for several years, and happened again yesterday. . . . . Pulled out onto 4 lane divided highway and traction control light came on, dash said "engine power reduced", but did not seem to be significantly low on power. Drove about 5 miles down the road, then car suddenly died. Was able to pull over to side of the road (with three small children in the vehicle), tried to restart the car but display said "starting disabled, service throttle". Waited about 5 minutes and car restarted. Was able to drive home, no reduced power but check engine light remained on. I have seen many comments online from others who own similar gm vehicles that have had similar issues. We have also had similar issues with our 2011 suburban, although no stalling. There should be an immediate recall for all 2008 - 2011 gm vehicles to repair this issue, most likely accelerator pedal position sensor.

I had a check engine light when I went and checked it it was a p236 code in a p069e I also went to check it because I noticed my car was starting up funny.

The check engine light keeps turning on. And the car has trouble shifting. I took it to get it checked out and they informed me that it has to do something with the transmission and that multiple people are having this problem with the same type of vehicle.

Check engine light came on. Message came across saying reducing engine power. Then said to service stabilizer. It then turned off traction control. We were driving home from vacation when this happened. After a bit driving the whole car shit off while driving 60mph on a busy highway. The message on dash said it disabled our starter. We almost did not get off the road safely we were in the left lane and could not get to the shoulder. My husband had to make the decision to pass across into oncoming because thankfully there was no one coming.

Took my vehicle in for its regular oil change. A few days later, the car started driving funny. I notice that when I went to accelerate that the vehicle started shaking. After it happened a few more times within that same week, my check engine light came on. I decided to take it back to the chevy dealership where I had the oil change, not before calling the service dept. Several time in the week to voice my concerns. I was told to bring the vehicle in and have them check my oil level to make sure all was well. I told them what I was experiencing and that the check engine light was on and asked could they re-check my oil level. The service advisor checked and said that the oil was fine. She then suggested that I pay $112. 48 dollars for a diagnostic test, because that would be the only way to determine why the check engine light was on. I did! only for them to tell me that it was p2645 intake rocker arm control circuit solenoid. Then she game me a quote of $407. 35 to fix the problem. I was then informed that I had to pay for the part upfront before anything could be done and on top of that, this part was on back-order and that it would take weeks to fill the order. I need to use my vehicle to get around and this was not safe to drive! this was over 2 months ago. I then turned to the internet to do my research only to find out that is a faulty part from the gm manufacture. And gm was not willing to replace the part even after they place this part in my vehicle knowingly that this was a defected part and that down the road it would be faulty, not only in my 2014 but the 2015 chevy Impala's and the chevy malibu. This is not right and gm need to correct the problem. I am paying for a car for the last 2 months that I cant even drive! shameful gm!.

My 2014 chevy Impala misfires while driving and loses and regains power while driving. I took it to a mechanic and it is the rocker arm control valve solenoids. I did some research it this is a known issue for 2014/2015 Impalas and malibu's. This is very unsafe and can cause accidents. Also, this part has been on backorder for several months so owners are having to drive with check engine light on. This should be a recall.

Hello my 2016 chevy Impala limited ltz has a idle issue when I come to a stop. It will idle low an stumble like it's going to cut off then it goes back to normal. Any suggestions. My check engine light is not on. It does this almost every time I come to a stop.

I recently purchased this car used at a dealership. Before taking possession of the vehicle, the dealership tried to fix all problems associated with the check engine light being on. I was informed the vehicle will not pass inspection and the check engine light was still on due to a rocker arm oil control valve needing to be replaced. The car is still at the dealership waiting for a part that's on backorder and the part needed is gm #12633613 rocker arm oil control valve. After doing some research myself, I discovered this part fails commonly on my vehicle make, model, and year as well as 2014-2015 chevy malibus produced with the same engine. Gm nor any aftermarket companies have this part in stock. I've contacted gm and was only told they don't know when they will have this part available. However, a few others with the same issue have been told by gm that this part is discontinued. There are people waiting months for this to be fixed and gm seems not to wanting to provide a solution. I would get another vehicle but then I would have to spend hundreds of dollars for the loaner car I'm currently driving from the dealership. This is gm's problem and they should be held responsible.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that when the key was turned to the start position, several warning lights illuminated and the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated that the abs warning light and check engine lights were illuminated. The vehicle was started and the vehicle loss brakes and power steering functionality with the check engine warning light remaining illuminated. The contact was previously informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v400000 (electrical system) however, the vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

I was driving my car and it loss power. The check engine light came on. I took it to nelson hall Chevrolet in meridian, ms. They told me that I needed an exhaust solenoid part number 12633613. It was sitting there at the chevy dealer for a month and a half. They told me to come get it because they didn't have the part to fix it and they didn't know when the part was going to be available. I have been in contact with GMC since December of 2019. GMC doesn't know when the part will be available. I can't drive my car!! when I spoke with GMC last, they told me they would be giving me a call back in 24-48 hours. It has been 3 months and GMC will not return my calls. My car is still broken as of today March 18, 2020. This is unacceptable!.

2014 chevy Impala needs a rocker arm oil control valve part# 12633613. Gm says there is no eta on the part but dealer says part is not being produced. Check engine light stays on, the car stutters during motion also will shake suddenly. Also, has a lack of acceleration.

On interstate driving approx. 60 mph suddenly check engine light came on, and reduce engine speed light on and car dropped drastically down to literally no power. Barely had time to get on shoulder without causing accident. Went to local mechanic and he said that the issue was the throttle peddle.

The check engine light in the vehicle came on and the vehicle began to lose power and then regain power while accelerating and also while still in motion even while not currently accelerating. The problem was diagnosed by the chevy dealership and it was determined that a rocker arm needed to be replaced. The part (#12633613) is not available and there is no estimated time per gm when it will be available again. My vehicle has not been safe to drive and sitting at the dealership since October 15th 2019, it is currently January 8th 2020. This part is an issue for all 2014 and 2015 Impala and malibu vehicles with the engine type in the 2014 Impala LS. The dealership has referred to the gm part as being defective yet gm has not issued a recall. Gm refuses to provide any information regarding the part and will not even confirm if it will ever be produced again. This issue is effecting thousands of vehicles and gm's failure to address this issue is leaving the owners of the affected vehicles driving unsafe vehicles. Gm needs to issue a recall or manufacture more of the part if it is simply a production issue (which they will not confirm or deny).

I purchased a 2017 Chevrolet Impala vehicle in March of 2019 and a few month's after purchasing the vehicle I immediately started noticing that the vehicle wold stall and or hesitate to start every time I would put gas in it. Immediately after that the check engine light came on and remained on until this day. I currently work at carmax and after speaking with some mechanic's, as well as as reading some of the other complaint's I believe I am experiencing the same problem as 2 other buyer's that have previously filed a complaint regarding this vehicle. The spark plug tubes are leaking and the leaks are caused by porous spots in the head created during manufacturing. The spark plug tubes are permanently sealed into the head and are not replaceable. This is a manufacturing problem that needs to be taken care of immediately. We just purchased this vehicle and I am being told that this repair is going to cost $3,000-$4,000 to fix, which I am not responsible for. I should be able to have this fixed by the manufacturer, I should'nt have to pay for this repair considering the vehicle was literally purchased a year ago as of 3 weeks ago. And the problem happened 3 months into me having the vehicle.

My reduce engine power light, service stabilitrak light and abs light is on also check engine light. Car will not go ove 30 to 40 mph. The car will reduce speed on the highway. And streets. I live in illinois. I've done tried everything. The car was in the shop for over a month cost me $1500 to fix every issues the mechanic thought was wrong and the car still have the same issues. I have even just recently brought a new gas cap because that light kept saying tighten. This can be really stressful. I dont think I will ever buy another chevy car again. As I research my issue just by typing in the problems without giving the make and model of car. I see all these problems are only with chevy vechiles. What do I do?.

While driving on the interstate the car has shut off and the lights pop up saying rear stability, abs anti theft detection, and the check engine light. The car has done this three times so far with my child in the car.

When accelerating, the vehicle revs to high rpms and a loss of power to the wheels occurs. This happens most notably when accelerating to pass while cruising at speeds of 50mph and up. Check engine light appeared and code p16cf was given and tracked directly to the variable timing oil control valve.

While driving on roads and interstates, I frequently receive a dash notification "engine power reduced" and my service traction control and check engine light comes on. When this happens, my vehicle loses speed and cannot accelerate above 40mph - dangerous, especially on an interstate. The notification lights and symptoms occasionally go away after turning the engine off and on, only to come back later. I cannot find and answer to this problem.

Driving at about 70mph my check engine light came with with the reading service stability track, engine reduced power an disabled started, service throttle instantly I loss all rmps an my steering wheel almost fully locked while the car was still on motion. Luckily I was able to jus barley veer off the road into safety. Why would a car company have something like this in thier vehicles. That would lock the steering wheel while going at accelerated 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!.

We purchased our car in September of 2018, and almost immediately we started noticing the car would hesitate to start every time after we would put gas, then the check engine light suddenly turned on. . So then in December we took it to the chevy dealership and they fixed the purge valve, and also checked why the check engine light was on. They ran some tests and said that cylinder 3 was misfiring, so they ran more tests to see what exactly the problem was. The problem is that the spark plug tubes are leaking and the leaks are caused by porous spots in the head created during manufacturing. The spark plug tubes are permanently sealed into the head and are not replacable. This is a manufacturing problem that needs to be taken care of immediately, we just purchased our car and their telling us that this problem is going to cost $3,000 to 4,000 to fix which we are not responsible for. Please if someone could get back with me as soon as possible, something needs to be done we should be able to take it back to the dealership and get a different car since ours had a manufacturing problem which we are not liable for. Thank you .

I was making a right turn and the traction stabilization error popped up on my dash and the check engine light came on. I came to a stop and the car started shaking while it was at a complete stop. The car never slid or anything so I don't know why the stabalization error would come on and this is the 2nd time it has done this. The vehicle is fairly new so I don't know why it does this. Once I stepped on the pedal slowly to go again the engine felt like it jerked. I have read many complaints on this issue on other forums.

Takata recall. When vehicle is started a loud screech happen every time vehicle is started, once vehicle is in motion on highway, street, city. And in motion the vehicle starts alarming and lettimg me know in the information widow check tire monitoring system with tire pressure light consistently on then vehicle alarming sounds again to check stability trak and then it alarm s again with the check engine light that the vehicles engine power has been reduced and vehicle is no longer able to pick up speed right away this has been going on sense I purchased it. Also when im making turns the vehicle will alarm about having stability trak serviced.

1st - 8/11/2018 - 79,653 miles - check engine light came on, code p0411 secondary air injection system incorrect flow detected. Dealership stated the solenoid malfunction check engine came back on, code p0411, Chevrolet stated the secondary air injection system is functioning as designed and reset the code. Chevy's stated the faulty sir injection solenoids bank 1 and 2 was the cause of the check engine light code p0411. Advised me that the battery terminal may be the issue and recommended changing it. Recommend a new alternator. Chevy was unable to verify the code p0411 but made a recommendation for the issue. Check engine light came back on again, no other issues with the vehicle at that time. Gm opened a tac case. Advised by tac that carbon buildup in the cylinder valves from the cylinder heads was the cause. Told to drive vehicle for a few days. Within 3 days check engine light came back on. Chevy installed a vehicle data recorder per the gm field service engineer. Test results showed both air injection cut of valves needed to be replaced. Future also updated ecm calibration and programmed it - covered under warranty. 6th visit on 9/3/2019 at 85970 miles Chevrolet advised the cause is due to the left temperature control and air inlet actuators. 7th - 9th time, advised by independent auto repair shop, that everything was working as normal. Check engine light code was reset. Advised car needs to be calibrated at gm-approved dealership. As of today, the check engine light remains on. The final shop advised the issue may be that the system was not calibrated or just needed to be calibrated every time the check engine light came on. I believe that thousands of gm customers are paying out of pocket for unnecessary p0411 repair work.

I started my car and the check engine light and service traction control lights both came on. I got on the highway and tried to accelerate to merge into the lane and my car would not accelerate and the steering wheel locked. Luckily I was able to get into the emergency lane before my car shut off, but I was very close to being blasted by an oncoming semi truck. This could've been fatal to me if I had not gotten over in time.

Gm reimbursed me for one of two repairs needed to fix a problem that caused the check engine light to turn on. These two repairs were performed three months prior to gm's July 2018 letter advising me of additional protection for my 2015 Impala. I was denied reimbursement for the first fix identified by the car's computer to replace the evac canister vent valve solenoid costing $198. 77. I was reimbursed for the second fix to replace the purge valve costing $147. 55. In April 2018, gm had not identified any fix other than the ones identified by my car's computer. Therefore, both my repairs were performed to fix this problem and should have been reimbursed as fixes for the inoperative purge solenoid additional protection gm identified in its July 2018 letter to me.

Engine suddenly died while I was driving. I pulled over to the side of the road and it almost caused an accident because power steering went out. I was able to start the engine back up no problem. I had a check engine light on because of the oil pressure sensor. I had just replaced it the day before. I suspect it had something to do with that, but im not sure. If I was on the highway im pretty sure I would have gotten in an accident. This isnt the first time this car has almost caused an accident because of faulty car parts, this car is dangerous.

On two different occasions, once about a year ago and again today, my 2011 chev Impala ltz displayed a series of rotating alert messages -- 1. Service traction control 2. Service stabilitrak 3. Engine power is reduced. I was driving about 45 miles per hour on an open road when all of a sudden the engine started running very roughly and slowed down and the above 3 messages repeatedly displayed one after the other. Also 2 yellow lights were flashing and then remained on -- the check engine light and the traction control light (I think). When I reported this problem to the chev dealership a year ago, I was told that because the warning lights and messages could not be reproduced in the service department, there was nothing that they could do. (and I understand that if it isn't broken when I take it in, the service dept would most challenged to fix it. ) today, when this happened I was able to get the car to a safe place to park. I turned off the ignition, waited a moment and then restarted the car. The same 3 messages were displayed with the two yellow lights staying on. When I restarted the car 3 or 4 hours later, only the check engine light is displayed. The 3 referenced alerts were not displayed. I am getting ready to take the car to the dealership again with this problem. Do you have any advice as to how to proceed?.

While the vehicle was in motion on dry pavement, the traction control light came on, followed by the check engine light then the car stalled and had to be be eased off the highway. Tried to restart the vehicle several times. After it sat for a couple of minutes tried one more time and the car restarted and drove home perfectly. Researched the issue online, and there are entire forums in edmunds dedicated to this very problem. Definitely a safety issue with this vehicle.

When taking left turns the car makes a loud grind noise then the stability controll will turn on. Now the check engine light and stability controll light popped on while driving while also having engine power reduced which then applied my brakes causing me to almost go off the road.

My traction light comes on . With my check engine light then my power is redued light comes on at same time car has no power cant hardly get it to move cant accelerate to get out of way of cars. Light is coming and going stay on for a while go off then come back in day or so.

Car began showing stabilitrak service, traction control service, reduced engine power and shut off while driving on interstate 35, almost causing a major traffic accident , pulled to side of interstate comm center says ingnition disabled car wont do anything when key was turned . I then sat approximatley 5 mins car starts with no codes but check engine light . I cannot have this happening means I drive 40 miles to wrk a day and cant afford to throw parts at the problem as all gm service centers hsve been with no solution.
