2 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 11/22/2019

While on the freeway the service stability traction light came on and I begin to loose power I tried pushing the off button after a few miles it went back to normal and the next day it happened again so I pulled to the side of the road and turned the car off hoping to reset it but the car would not start back up. I've had my starter checked, my battery, my alternator all those came out fine but the car won't start and the mechanics are saying they haven't seen anything like this before that the traction system will keep the car from starting. Also prior to this I would hear a throotling sound as well to me it sounded like a tire was loose so k even had that checked but I believe it's connected to this traction light that came own before the car was turned off.

8 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

Power steering was lost, stability light came on - was told this was due to erosion - had repaired at my cost - extended warranty would not cover as techician stated my fault although apparently this area is not visible during normal service. Now the car twice has not started at all - all electronic sensors go dead. Have taken to Chevrolet dealer and they are unable to determined what is wrong. At least every other time I turn on car, the stability light or steering light come on, as well as the park assist light. I wait for about 10 minutes or so, try again, and they may or may not go off. 2 - the rear view mirror fell off during the first month I purchased, so it was under warranty and they "re-glued) it several times - finally it was recalled, and replaced about 15 months ago, now the mirror is doing the same thing again. 3- last is the pillar trim - it peeled and I had to have replaced at my cost - this should not have occurred. I fear I have a lemon, but more importantly I am not receiving the service necessary from Chevrolet dealer - I have maintained the service on my car through the dealer, but so many unanswered concerns leaves me at risk for accident should car just stop!.

18 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 12/14/2016

I have had my 2010 Chevrolet Impala LS for about one year now. It currently has 164,000 miles. The following problem started happening about 6 months after I bought it, during the winter months. While driving at any speed in any kind of weather (but happens more often in cold weather) two lights pop up, the check engine light and the stability track light. I also get three display messages, service stabiltrack, service traction control and engine power is reduced. Half of the times that this occurs my car literally shuts off while driving and a different message is displayed stating engine power shutting down. I lose all control of vehicle, power steering, gas etc. This only happens when going at high speeds ,which is even more dangerous. I turn the car off, if I immediately try to turn it back on it does nothing, if I wait a minute or so it will turn over. At this time usually all display and lights are off except the check engine light. Which does eventually go away. This is a very dangerous situation and needs to be fixed or a recall is in order. There are far too many people that have gone through this similar situation.

20 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 10/06/2016

While driving and accelerating to get on the highway the electronic stability control "stabilitract" light popped up on the dash screen and reduced the engine's power, reducing my speed to a maximum of 30 mph when trying to accelerate to the posted 55 mph speed limit. I was traveling in a straight line when the "stabilitract" & "engine power being reduced" information popped up. The car would not go over 30 mph. This caused me to have to pull over and nearly caused an accident due to the slow nature of the vehicle, even with the emergency flashers on. This is several incidents with this particular car, having electronic failure. The worst of it was when the collision sensor was affected by a leak in the car after having to have the windshield replaced due to the rear view mirror falling off. That incident caused the car to slam on it's breaks due an electrical error. This car has been in the shop for numerous electrical issues. Chevrolet has refused to do anything but the bare minimum to get the car back on the road obviously not fixing the root of the problem, as this is once again an electrical issue. Not safe to drive if the electronics are going to continue to fail.

24 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2013 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 05/01/2016

12,000 miles stability control , and abs light came on service required. Light stays on 5-10 minutes goes out randomly dealers baffled for the cause, dealer says unless they can duplicate it, warning light to come on they can't service. ,I went for an oil change at midas they checked it said it was the wheel bearing sensor that governs that I replace the wheel bearing , okay for a while now back on again in less than a thousand miles. Stability control is very valuable for cars nowadays so this is definitely a safety factor if stability control is lost. Reports on the internet of people replacing all the wheel bearings on the front hubs and everything and still having the same problem so this is not an isolated incident.

Failure Date: 07/18/2014

The airbag light will not go out, the stability control light comes on and the car loses power and the engine starts to cut off. I have sent my car to the dealership twice for the same problem I have even called the Chevrolet corporate office. Each time I get a different answer as to what the problem is the first time. I was told it was sensors that needed to be replace and that it would cost $1200. This time I was told it was the spark plugs that is causing the car to shut down and the cost would be around $400 or $500. The first service in July my receipt says they did a multi-point inspection would that not tell them my plugs were bad? my car is still at friendly Chevrolet in dallas can you please help. My daughter drives this car and she a high risk pregnancy.

Failure Date: 04/04/2014

The traction control, stability track and abs lights all came on. The engine power reduced light came on and engine power was lower. I had the left speed sensor replaced and the accelerator sensor replace on August 8th after the dealership had fixed this problem in April and again in June. I was told they changed sensors then also, but I am not sure of which ones at that time. I am now having the same problem for the forth time. Replacing the sensors every few months is getting expensive. Also not very safe. I contacted gm and the woman told me to take it back to the dealership to be fixed again. I have fixed the same issue three times already. They were of no help at all.

34 Vsa Warning Light On problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Impala

Failure Date: 02/17/2014

While I was driving the service stability pack and traction control light came on and immediately after the reduced engine power came on. The car then jerked, and shut off while I was still driving, and wouldn't start again until approximately 30 minutes later. There were no wet nor road hazard conditions that would have caused this to happen. Furthermore, I was driving at 60mph when this occurred in moderate traffic and almost got rear ended. This is a very unsafe issue, and I was told that the gas pedal needs to be replaced. Since then my vehicle has done this several times. This issues needs to be recalled because a lot of individuals have complained about having the same issues with the Impala. What is it going to take an injury or fatality for a recall on these vehicles. Moreover, any vehicle that shuts off while driving at any speed because of an issues with throttle body/gas pedal needs to be recalled because this is a major safety issue.

You shut it off for a few and restart it and its like nothing ever happened. Not to happy about this I have not had the car a year.
