I am leasing the car out. I’ve been leasing it out for the last three months since March I went delinquent on one of my payments because I have my mechanic look at it and type my VIN number in and they told me that I was recall he couldn’t tell me why I was recall two days ago, which was Saturday, June 28. The lender called me and told me that the car was recalled. I tried to call him back to discuss what can be done. I have the payment, no response and I don’t have my car and my belongings are in it.

Very loud abnormal ticking sound coming from the vehicle, failed actuators. Resulting in hvac loss. Arecall issued in 2014 for stabilitrak /abs for bad grounds on 2014 chevy Impalas. However 2. 5 and 3. 6 l engines were not included, but need to be!!! the car will drive rough and eventually just cut off in the middle of traffic highway or residential. This is what it did on me, putting me in a very dangerous position with my 5 year old in the car. This issue is effecting thousands of the same vehicles and gm's failure to address this issue is leaving the owners of the affected vehicles driving unsafe vehicles. Gm / chevy needs to issue a recall on alll the 2014 Impalas. (which they will not confirm or deny). While I was driving 60mph on an interstate my car notification screen displayed "service stabilitrak"/ "engine power reduced". . . Then my car acceleration seemed to have died and car slowed all the way down to around 20 mph with the gas pedal diwn to the floor. . . A big semi truck was behind me and had to break and swerve around me while blowing his horn. . . I was nearly killed.

I was in a car accident and the airbags did not deploy.

The brakes continue to malfunction I am unsure if a previous recall was fixed properly or not the chasis electrical system has been fixed with electrical tape only the transmission and stability track and anti lock brake system error light with go off from time to time when it does and the more it’s driven the worse the issues get these are all recalls and the problems still persist are we confident that the recalls have been corrected.

My steering wheel tripping , my brake light , my parking gear is triggered , stabilizing system and air bag.

Fourth time I had submitted this text so this one will be vague. I've had to repair my stuts and shocks and brakes to my vehicle due to ongoing issues with tires while divingand hitting small speesbumps and potholes. I did replace low performance tires and still was an issue with my struts and shocks when I drive causing me to hit a bump or a small hole and diverts me to the next lane of ongoing traffic also I had to my battery replaced twice. To find out that it was only due to corrosion and the battery cables slipping was frustrating cause I did replace the battery and key fob battery already. Car wouldn't start and when it did it took forever hours to restart and engine still seems to get bogged down in ongoing traffic. Which was the prior issue no power no matter how hard I press the gas. I took to autozone and they did a reading which came back that everything was okay including the battery which was obviously not okay. It was leaking fluid and I have already replaced year and half ago due to same issue. They cables seem to slip over time on its own. What to do? thank you for your time to look into this issue. Kindest regards.

The recall said it was completed in 2014, but my parking brake will engage while I'm driving and has risked my life in multiple occasions. So I believe the recall was not done properly as my parking brake still engages while I'm driving.

Stability control light comes on which puts the engine in restricted power abs and brake light comes on front driver side brake continuously holds on when trying to accelerate.

The stabiltrac light comes on,sometimes I lose power. Sometimes the back up camera doesn’t work. Sometimes the parking brake light comes on the dash. Then ieverything will suddenly go away and everything is fine,only to have the same problems. This has been happening for months. I took it to the dealer multiple times and they are unable to fix it.

The right turn signal bulb keeps blowing. Break lights were stuck on. I got pulled over because the blinker wasn't working and parking light wouldn't go off. The officer was nice because I had just got the car and didn't give me a ticket, just a warning. Blinker on passenger side won't work with lights on and fuses for that side keeps blowing.

I have a 2014 chevy Impala ltz, owned it for 9 years. Just started with issues within the last 6months and it just seems to be getting worst everyday. While making a left turn, not even driving 5mph my power steering fails and the drivers side tires seem to lock up as if the car would be hydro planing. Once it happens the dashboard alerts come on such as stabilitrac, traction control, abs, service break assistance, power steering, and I lost control of the car in the middle of the road!! brought the car to the shop they change the wheel bearings. We also changed the brakes in March of this year, we had a front and back realignment plus new tires within the last 6 months. The dealer we got it from is no longer in business, as I did buy it used. I called the Chevrolet 800 number for recalls but no luck finding anything. After searching year/make/model I found similar issues to other "2014 chevy" within the last couple of years. This is a serious issue and it can become dangerous while driving with my family in the car. I can't afford another vehicle as this car is my reliable vehicle.

I was driving in a snowstorm and all of the sudden the abs, stabilitrak, and power steering went out. I'm frustrated that this is the 2nd electrical safety issue that I have experienced. Both of which have been reported by several drivers and still no recalls!.

Driving home on 9/3/22 I began to turn into a curve in the road at which time the brake light on dash came on and felt as though one wheel in the rear locked up. 2 seconds later it caused my car to spin uncontrollable down the road and slide into ditch however I slid into a field entrance and it caused my car to roll more then once and landed on passenger side. Airbags did not deploy at any time during this accident.

No medical treatment was provided. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. In addition the contact indicated that the braking system was faulty and previously had experienced extended stopping distances and a grinding noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when pressing the brake pedal. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure mileage was 56,000.

My engine is shaking back-and-forth and it’s a new engine not new jd byrider replaced last month and I got the same problem again today.

Check engine light did not come on when battery was bad. Also brakes feel spongy and go to the floor at times,pads and rotors are good.

Bad wiring harnesses causing brakes and antilock brakes to throw codes and fail. Abs and stable track fail and also cause car to suddenly go to low engine power mode while driving down highway. Replaced nearly every brake component plus vehicle computers and abs modules. Vehicle now throwing new codes serious at random. Main pcm computer replaced twice. Abs, brake booster, abs modular, master cylinder, 4 calipers, hoses, abs module and abs valve assembly all these components replaced twice at least. Vehicle was not a flood car.

The electronic parking brake fails to disengage entirely from the rear brake pads causing them to become welded together. This results in extreme heat, excess brake dust, poor acceleration, and caliper / brake line (air) issues.

The service power steering came in on the dash, also along with service stabiltrak and the abs light heard these are common and play together , mainly the service power steering which caused the vehicle to be become almost impossible to steer I heard there where recalls on this same situation as it is a huge safety concern . It makes it very dangerous in highway or roads as it is very hard to steer.

I parked my car at work and worked a full day Saturday the 13th of November. I go out to start my vehicle and 3 warnings appear all at once. Stabilitrak, abs, and power steering. Reading online I’m not the only one but with only 109,xxx miles it’s kind of bs that there’s obviously an engineering flaw with these vehicles and I probably will give a few car payments worth to get this fixed. I’ve owned this vehicle since 17,xxx miles.

Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Brake booster not regulating properly. This is causing the vehicle to not stop at a timely manner and a need to push brake all the way down for vehicle to eventually stop which is unsafe when driving. This has been confirmed by independent service center which has recommended to search for recall. No warnings or messages prior to issue.

The abs and traction control light are always on. Sometimes the brakes kick back up on my foot and the brakes skip until I come to a stop. This doesn't always happen but I have to always be prepared. And there is always a squeaking sound when wheels are in motion. It was never inspected.

The car has been in the shop twice within 6 months having it. It was towed twice, once for transmission issues and having no power to it at all then it back in the shop for warning lights. I also had it in the shop for about an hour to have a new tire put on it after loosing air. It had to be towed back home for all the brakes being shot and I'm now having an issue with the rear left caliper having a slow leak, the rear left sway bar is also broken in half. The whole entire car has issues and the leasing company and dealership refuse to do anything to help along with not helping me get the payment down. After one thing gets fixed, another thing happens. The suspension is getting bad and has been like that since my fiance and I got the car. The dealership said everything was new and fixed. We had 2 kids in the car and their safety was put at risk as well as others that got in the car. The car is getting to be a death trap for me. The warning lights that were coming on were service stabilitrak, service brake assist, service trac control and service brake system. These were coming on after I had the car in the shop for the transmission issue. Those lights are now not coming on. My fiance and I were told by the dealership that the brakes were new, nothing mechanically wrong with the car and drives smoothly, this was said before we took the car for a test drive. We were there to buy a car but after we signed the papers, we were told it was a lease.

On 27 April 2021 my son in his 2016 Impala was involved in a collision when the vehicle failed to stop at an intersection. While attempting to stop the brake pedal seized and failed to stop the car before hitting another vehicle. I am concerned with this issue because I also have a 2016 tahoe that was recall (n192261050) for a brake issue. Accounts of the vehicles actions at time of incident are exactly the same as what was happening with 2016 tahoe. While the 2016 tahoe has underwent recall repair, its still not braking normally but it does stop although roughly. The driver of 2016 Impala was a passenger in tahoe this past weekend and during a rough stop the passenger indicated "that's what my car sounded like when brakes didn't work. " I've reported the issue to insurance copy asking they thoroughly inspect the vehicle and also reported to manufacturer.

My brake assist will come and say “brake assist off”. When pushing brakes my car will skip and the brakes sound crunchy. It’s been almost a couple of weeks of this. I’m concerned safety wise due to the fact it almost didn’t stop. No mechanic shop can help apparently though. Any advice? please and thank you.

When turning left the wheel locks up as it would if the car were sliding on ice. The stability track alert comes on. It becomes a problem when I'm driving in busy traffic and turning at an intersection because it'll just lock up and not let me go, stopping me in the middle of the intersection.

Went to pick my daughter up from school. Came back and parked my car as usual. When I attempted to restart my car the engine ruled up and the car would barely move. Upon further investigation, I observed the vehicle motor notification light on as well as the parking brake notification with a tool ( wrench) underneath. I attempted to disengage the brake and it said the brakes have been released. However, the brake notification signal is still flashing and the vehicle seems to be driving like the brakes are still engaged.

Brake assist, traction control, stablitrack, and abs lights continually coming on. When breaking while making a turn the breaks slip or give and then suddenly grab hold causing a grinding sound. Car wobbles while these lights are on causing a noticeable change in stability and control.
