Equipment Problems of Chevrolet Impala - part 1

While driving my 2014 Chevrolet Impala limited police vehicle, VIN [xxx], the engine unexpectedly shut off. The check engine light illuminated and the vehicle subsequently would crank but would not start normally. A diagnostic scan produced code p069e, fuel pump control module requested mil illumination. After the failure, the vehicle would crank without starting using the normal ignition. The vehicle was towed home. I attempted to start vehicle using the factory remote-start system. It started as normal with the remote-start system, but shut off after a few minutes. I am reporting this because an unexpected engine shutdown while the vehicle is in motion created a safety risk due to the sudden loss of engine power while driving. I found gm service information addressing p069e and fuel pump control-related conditions on 2014 Chevrolet Impala limited vehicles, including gm bulletin pi1082. However, this VIN does not appear to be included in a recall or repair campaign for this condition. I am requesting that NHTSA document and evaluate this incident, including whether similar engine-stall, no-start, fuel pump control module, or p069e complaints have been reported for 2014 Chevrolet Impala limited vehicles outside any previously identified vehicle population. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The electronic power steering intermittently fails while driving, especially during or after wet conditions. Without warning, the steering wheel becomes extremely stiff and difficult to turn, and a “service power steering” message appears. The failure occurs at any speed and lasts about 1–3 minutes before returning to normal. This has happened multiple times under similar conditions. This creates a serious safety risk because it occurs at highway or city speeds without warning, making the vehicle difficult to control and increasing the risk of a crash. No prior warning is given before the failure other than the dashboard message at the time of the incident. Cause is unknown. There are numerous reports from other drivers describing similar symptoms, suggesting a potential widespread defect in the electronic power steering system or related components.

The component is the evaporative emission control system (evap) vapor canister purge valve. The internal diaphragm or solenoid of the factory-installed purge valve has worn out prematurely or became contaminated, locking it permanently into a stuck-open position. The manifestation or (symptoms): the stuck-open valve continuously drafts raw fuel vapor and unmetered air into the engine intake manifold. This causes an improper air-fuel mixture, resulting in:stumbling / failure to start immediately after refueling (the engine is flooded by gas tank vapors forced in during fill-up). Rough idling (due to a continuous vacuum leak). Illuminated check engine light tracking diagnostic trouble codes (dtcs) p0496 (high purge flow) or p0442. Yes, it is available for inspection. The vehicle stumbles, hesitates, and fails to restart at busy gas pumps and intersections which places drivers, passengers, and other motorists at an immediate risk of a collision. Yes, the problem has been validated by an professional auto mechanic shop. No, it has not been inspected by anyone else other than the mechanicshop to diagnose the problem, issue. The check engine light came on as I cranked the vehicle up and it started idling. No known symptoms until check engine came on prior to failing. The check engine light first appeared in may 2026 as well as the codes mentioned above.

My car does not alert me of no or low coolant. Nor does the symbol comes on, on the dash.

I started my vehicle in the morning to let it warm up. I come back out to get myself and my son in the vehicle to go to work and take him to school. My dash upon entry had a check engine light on, and the message it displayed was "engine power reduced. " I put my car into reverse, having no choice but to drive it and the traction control went out. My father in law pulled the code and it said something about the accelerator sensor. This is a known issue and recall in other models and I wanted to report it is also happening in my model.

My transmission as well -.

Unknown.

As I was driving my car in the interstate the car started making noises and began to shake and then it stop driving normally. I did my best to move to the curve and then called a towing truck to get the car. The car transmission stopped working properly. I conducted an analysis on this car in the internet and it has been written that the transmission has a manufacturer's defect. Also, the car dealer did a diagnostics test on the vehicle and proved that the transmission is not responding. The car dealer said the repair is not covered. This car is less than 5 years old. I was driving with an unsafe car. Data indicates that the transmission defects with a transmission fluid leak. I was in a dangerous situation while driving the car in the interstate. There were no warning signs and I believe this can be a dangerous situation for other consumers who may have the same car. The dealer and manufacturer does not want to cover the repair of the transmission since they said there has not been any recalls with the car. I want to put this complaint because I was at risk for something I had no control of. I contacted the corporate office and they told me to take it back to get a second diagnostic. In my opinion I have already done the diagnostic and they will not accept it unless is recent. The diagnostic was done in March 2024. Dealer wants me to pay for the repair. The transmission fluid leak is a problem that appears to be from the manufacturer because a transmission's life should last longer. The car has been undriveable.

The compressor is not on the recall list but for a 2019 to have it failed requiring a new one not even close to the expected 10-12 year mark. This car part can lead to other safety concerns so I believe needs review for a potential recall.

To whom it may concern: I have had my vehicle fixed twice for the same problem . The automotive service shop that fixed it said it was a part called an autonator. It makes a clicking sound when the vehicle shuts off. It has been repaired twice and eventually it starts back. Also one side of the heating system works. When you turn it on one side stays cool and the other side gives the warm air.

Answers to questions from above 1. Evaporator kit 84409864 2. Not a safety issue to my knowledge. 3. Yes, issue was diagnosed and repaired at dealership. (receipt for work - including part numbers will be attached with supporting documents) 4. No, no one outside of the dealership. 5. No warning lights but there was the smell of coolant in the cab of the car. Due to an issue with my 2018 chevy Impala - v6 engine, I had to have the ac evaporator core replaced due to a leak (faulty part). Searching the NHTSA website, I found the below special coverage which seems to match my vehicle perfectly including the issue for which the special coverage was issued. I filed a claim with gm but continue to be told that my vehicle is not covered by this but no reason as to why it isn't covered. *special coverage n182186881 - evaporator core icing, leak *quantity part name part no. *1 evaporator kit 84409864 this is concerning as a consumer as the issue and vehicle description matches the special coverage exactly, yet gm is stating that my vehicle is not covered. This issue clearly extends beyond the number of vehicles affected that was reported. Also, being replaced with the same part (part num) does give me pause that this will be an issue again in the future, costing consumers even more money and time.

The engine electric brakes all shut down steering wheel locked up and my daughter smashed into telephone pole on August 31 2023. Airbags didn't deploy for front and side airbags were deflated no air. No warning lights prior that I'm aware of. My daughter was injured pcs and cervical sprain.

The evaporator core is leaking and a/c system is not operative. There is an outstanding report from your office, dcs4922, that outlines this condition perfectly. This report talks about a special coverage adjustment #n182186881 evaporator core icing, leak, and an estimated number of vehicles involved. Since it is an estimated number of vehicles it means that gm doesn't know exactly how many vehicles are involved. It is my position that my vehicle should be included in the service adjustment. General motors will not consider repair based on my VIN. This special coverage addresses the exact issue I am experiencing. I have visited a chevy Impala public forum and found there are others experiencing the same issue. Any help will be appreciated.

Stability traction control I have had to fix it 3 times once was ball bearing and the other was a wire harness and it has to go in shop again for stability traction issues again also the door blending parts keep failing in my car I have had 3 replaced.

Evaporator core failed. My safety isn't at risk although I get very hot riding in the car without ac. It was confirmed by a dealer. It has not been inspected by police or anyone else other than a dealer. No warning lamps or messages. My 2017 Chevrolet Impala has been without air conditioning since approximately June 2020. I took it to a local Chevrolet dealer and they diagnosed it stating the evaporator core had failed. After doing research online, I found a special coverage adjustment n182186881 on NHTSA. Gov stating that on some 2016-2018 model-year cars, the evaporator core may become damaged and the customer is eligible for it to be replaced at no charge. I never received this paper in the mail saying mine was affected but mine was affected. Due to me having no copy of this, no dealer will fix it free of charge. I am not just looking for a free repair, I am looking for it to be repaired for free specifically due to the fact it has been affected. There is less than 72,000 miles on my vehicle.
