Electronic Stability Control Problems of Chevrolet Impala - part 1

Been having battery corrosion problems. All at once abs and traction lights came on, steering got hard. I was driving when all this occurred.

See all problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala 🔎.

Failure in my stabilitrak, power steering, and abs system! and it says there has been no recall on my car.

My steering control light came on with no steering control, abs system light came on, and stabilitrac light is on!.

The car shuddered on initial start-up, turned it off waited for a minute. Restarted ran normally. The next day on start-up dic alerted to abs, powersteering, and stabilitack in need of service, noticeable difference in steering control, wheel slippage on quick exhilaration, I tried to brake more cautiously so as not to test my braking ability. Definitely a safety issue. Should be recalled. Had the same problem a year ago spending $495. To have the opposite wheel hub and brg assembly. Hope this isn't an annual event. Love my car but hate expenses that should not occur with a car; especially under 100,000 miles. Why did this happen? there is nothing to blame it on such as hitting a pothole. The weather has been colder, there has been a reference to that as well as some say it is a wiring harness that is in a bad location, wearing exposing wires that make contact with metal. Research shows that other drivers are having the same issue and expense. How many complaints will it take before this safety issue is addressed and customers are refunded this unnecessary expense.

The park brake assist light,service brakes and service power steering assist lights came on while driving in the rain. The stabiltrak and abs lights were on prior to this. The steering wheel became hard to steer. Was able to get home and park.

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.

We got the brakes changed and the next day the car started saying stability control bad and check suspension anytime you turn the car to the left it hesitates and come up says traction control while driving it only does it when you turn left the abs light pops up the check stability control traction control and suspension all come on.

Have gone through 2 alternators, and 2 batteries, airbags sensor is something problems, rattling while driving from underneath vehicle.

When I turn left, the abs light/ traction light comes on and it says service traction control, service stabilitrak, service brake assist and it makes a grinding noise. The dealership replaced my wheel bearings and it's still the same problem.

I pulled into my garage and cut of my car. After opening the door my seat wouldn't move forward like it always does. That's when my dash board gave me an error message stating that I need to roll my driver side window down. So, I did that but the next day my navigation system was off along with my radio and on-star system. So I drove to the gas station before heading to work, and when I tried to get in my car the power was off. I went under-hood to see if the battery was loose but it wasn't. So I shut the hood got back in the car and everything including my radio, gps, and on-star came back on. I headed out to work and that is when my car shut off while I was driving on the freeway at 70 mph and the error message said warning no power steering. I got to work safely and realized I left something in my car and that is when my car show signs that it was dead, but after manually getting into my car the power came back on. I also have issues with water getting into my trunk which is what the dealership told me was possibly causing the issues. As a disabled veteran this messes with my ptsd and financially I cant afford to keep paying for an issue that I see my 2014 Impala drivers have. I love the car but hate these issues. I need help with this car and the issues.

Traction control and stablitrak lights come on. Grinding sound and hesitation before moving in reverse, going straight and turning. The hestiation keeps the car from moving. Can turn off and fix this issue for a short bit of time with the bottom on the dash. After a while turning it off doesn't help because it turns itself back on.

The diagnostic revealed that there are 11 codes in the vehicle system. These codes ranged from passkey system failures to evap codes to transmission. Suspected failure of wiring harness altogether with possible bcm/cam failure as well. During battery test there was a regular drop in voltage while connected to the scanner reflecting a drain in the electrical system that could further be causing an issue. Codes are p0513 , p0523 , p0700 , p2122 , p0411, p0449 ,p0455. When driving stabilitrack, engine power reduced, and stabilitrack traction control. Sometimes the car shuts off while driving and the steering wheel will lock , I'd w ok old have to pull over on the side of the highway or street and pop the hood just to get the car started again.

My car shuts off when driving. The security light comed on. Sometimes no power to start so I seitch keyd. There been a recall but was not properly fixed. My life is in danger driving and I replaced so many parts that was never the problem.

I have a 2012 chevy Impala, the traction service control and abs/stabilitrack keeps giving me issues. I have a grinding noise, decreased power and car will nearly stop on you from time to time, particularly when turning. Taken to dealership, more than one, they keep telling me the harness attach to my traction control system snaps. Ive heard my model has this issue. I see no recall for my VIN, but I have the same issues.

Clunking , grinding noise service stabilitrak, service abs lights come on lose power when reversing or making a left turn. After much research there seems to be a problem with the wiring harness going to the sensors in the wheels. Msny people are having this very same problem across many years of this vehicle. People are spending money unesacerally on parts such as wheel hubs and bearings without fixing said problem. Many people are also reporting cars turning off as a result of this.

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.

Service side detection system warning came on and car would no longer start. Side detection lights stay on and won't go off.

Warning says engine power down. Gm dealer said recall expired for throttle/pedal position sensor. My vehicle is under 100,000 miles I never received a notice of this recall. I would like to have it fixed under recall.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the service electronic stabili-trac warning light flashed on the instrument panel and the vehicle jerked and shuddered with the accelerator pedal depressed. The failure also recurred while the vehicle was being reversed. Additionally, the vehicle vibrated and shuddered at speeds exceeding 55 mph. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,000.

Randomly I receive the meesage "service traction control - engine power reduced" - there is no rhyme or reason. It happens on nice days, rainy days, whether or not I am going uphill, downhill or on flat surfaces. On at least one occasion while driving on the highway, the engine shut off and I had to coast from lane 2 to the shoulder. After 20 minutes, it restarted.

Power reduces in heavy traffic. If I slow because of traffic it jerks like brakes are still engaged. Acts like transmission going out. This can cause someone to get run into from behind. There was a recall earlier this year. The mileage was not enough to cover my vechile. There should be no mileage limit.

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.

My vehicle has had the problems of not giving me correct readings from the gauges when my car was running hot it never displayed any indication that it was which caused engine failure in my car throwing a rod I also have experience and still do when I turn on my signals my bright lights come on as well as sometimes when I open the door the lights do not come on but when I close the door they do my motor mounts on my car are not stable this was part of the problem the first time it shifted now not from wear and tear because I had an inspection done on the vehicle prior to purchasing the vehicle and received a clean bill of immaculate care and health of the vehicle in less than 8 months I have been in nothing but one disaster after the next I'm feeling very unsafe and unsure of this vehicle it seems as if it's moving faster than what is on the speedometer because I have often had to apply the brakes in an emergency fashion just to stop I know this is not normal I can forward the bills of the said repairs so that it was support my claim I do not have them with me at this time but my email is [xxx].

I was driving on the highway at night and and my power steering and stabilitrak abs indicators came on and the vehicle became very difficult to turn/handle with out warning.

Whenever I am traveling at speeds <15mph and turning left from a stop the car hesitates and there is a grinding noise. This only occurs when traveling at low speeds. The noise is coming from the front left side. My abs & service stabilitrak lights are on. When I run the diagnostic no codes are coming up, and it says the car is fine. I have taken it to the dealership, and they were not able to replicate the malfunction. Several others in online forums have described the same issues with 2013-14 Impalas.

The stabilitrak is making the car shake and act crazy. I'm barely in control of the car. There are thousands of more people having the same problem. The car reduces speed because of this issue. Many groups and blogs online about this. Why hasn't anything been done about this? no recalls or anything.

I bought this car from the car lot and the sensors keep going off, the seat belt doesn't lock up, sometimes it says engine is hot turn of ac when it isn't on. And when turning it's will sometimes make a vibrating noise that won't allow me to go then the excelorator kicks back in to go.

I have a 2013 Chevrolet Impala--I have had multiple problems with; my dashboard lights up with service stablitrack, brake assist, traction control, and the abs light comes on while driving down the road. I have taken it to numerous places, that tested it, and was told no problem was found. It makes a grinding noise when in reverse; sometimes it doesn't want to accelerate, especially when it rains. Also my passenger seat's, buckle up alarm, goes off when no one is sitting there and the front window always seems dirty, even after it's cleaned-inside and out.

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.

The security system locks and will not let me start the vehicle every couple times the vehicle is started.

Driving on the highway and dash notification popped up that I needed to service my power steering, service my stabiltrac, service abs. I lost power (electric) steering and barely able to exit and park safely. I'm a small woman with not much strength and I could hardly turn my wheel with every bit of muscle. This is not safe! I could've been seriously injured or died along with other drivers/vehicles! this needs to be a complete recall!!!!.

The vehicle had water damage from �clogged sunroof drains�, which cause water to run all down the side and back panels causing an extensive amount of damage from one horrible design flaw. Some of the things effected was electrical company's such as electronic parking break was engaged and would not release cause the vehicle not to move! next was corrosion on several other inside wires having to do with steering and possibly air bags, but who knows if they will be effective until there is an accident and it's too late to find out if they are dmamged. Other safety features such as side detection was corroded so it too malfunctioned. There was a lot of other electrical things damaged but the car is in the shop and I don't know what else could be a huge safe concern. There is now so much mold which is dangerous to be breathing in if not totally replaced. There is an extensive amount of water in the spare tire wheel well that is causing rust and the inability to use this safety feature if needed! this became a horrible safety concern for myself and whomever my be traveling in my vehicle. Please do research into this because I could not believe this could happen to a car with only 70,000 miles! my car is in the shop so I cannot take any pictures of it! please help!.

The blind spot detection sensor is corroding and shorting out. It is causing other systems on the car to show error messages and failures like the air bag and traction system well driving. It also keeps blowing fuses. This sensor was never properly protected from the elements. It also cost over $800 to replace one of them. I know this is the problem because I have had to replace them before and it is happening the exact same way.

I was riding on the highway doing 60mph when my car reduced speed to 34mph and the check engine light came on along with a stabilitrak warning blinking. I also had a bit of shake in my vehicle when it came on and slowed down.
