First battery needed replaced every year then few weeks ago with no warning light or messages that battery was dieing the battery died again it was replaced then it started reving up and down on its own while driving so it goes faster then slower on its own when it feels like it. . Tps wont show tire pressure cant relearn tire positions now dash lights works usually then don't bright lights don't work now if automatic light control is on car shakes bad while breaking idles hard uses alot of gas now massive amount of heat coming off engine now with no dash light or guage saying temp is going up engine smells kind of bad after driving the car replaced transmission once couple years ago transmission maybe going out again the gear shift locks don't work it slips out of gear and into another gear effortlessly while driving and while parked without pressing the button to move the gear shift clicking or tapping noise started coming from front end only when turning left now does it while. Turning and sometimes while. Going straight and it's all still happening. . . Theres more but not going into all of it now. Dtc code listed 2days ago was listed b1000-00 electronic control unit. Searched google for code and got posts saying ecu needs replaced. . Updated or reprogrammed and some say bcu needs replaced. . Upgraded or reprogrammed. Each time I search the code I get a different reason for the code and different meaning. I have a 2006 chevy Impala ss 5. 3l v8 with police package. Car is available for inspection anytime.

The actuators in the air vents are faulty and I've had to have them repla ed multiple times now. They still continue to make clicking noise sounds and blow cold air in winter/hot air in summer. The trunk deck lid paint is bad. The clear coat has been coming off. Paint all over the car's clear coat has been coming off. There is also some spots where it's down to the metal showing rust/corrosion. Finally, and most seriously, is the car's traction control system. It goes off constantly and without warning! it's been doing this randomly, in all types of weather conditions, for some time now. It goes off under normal driving conditions. I barely pull out of a parking space, or make a slow turn, or pull out of a parking lot at a very slow speed and it just goes off. The really dangerous part is that it stalls the car almost to a complete stop, when I've been making a turn well before oncoming traffic, and it stalls almost causing an accident on several occasions now. Most of the incidents are on sunny days where there's no inclement weather! this system is not safe and is unreliable. I've checked many public forums, like reddit, and there are many other chevy Impala owners who complain of the same exact problem. Yet chevy has issued no recalls!? the only recall I've seen close to this is for 2011 year models. Although my car is a 2012, 2011 parts likely were used. If the recall affects 2011 Impalas, then any model that used 2011 parts should be included in this recall. I cannot trust the safety of my car's traction control system anymore as it comes on without warning, under no circumstances where it would need to come on. People are in danger with this defect! the car cosmetically, specifically the paint job and the flimsy actuators, are also defective. I've always taken excellent care of my vehicle, regularly having maintenance done at my local chevy dealership. Another defect that chevy had to fix was my fuel pump that went out for no reason! I have receipt for this.

Tire pressure sensor system receiver (part of keyless entry system) will not collect info from individual tire pressure sensors in tires. Failure of this safety system would not provide and advance warning of low tire pressure.

Consistent problems/issues with the traction control turning off randomly while driving the vehicle. Which causes the car to almost stall, have issues accelerating, make a grinding/scraping noise until we manually turn the traction control off. Most of the issues/sounds stop shortly after turning it off, but car still has issues accelerating and feels like it’s going to stall.

Front right lower control arm w/o police right front wheel. Tpms system. This will be the second time I’ve had to replace the front lower control arm the tea pms system does not work abs traction control are off totally the same year of car make model everything was recalled to have this fixed but it was only with the police cars what makes you think that the ones that weren’t police cars didn’t have the same issue it cost $427. 20 to fix. I also understand that my vehicle you’re making model it’s not the only one having this issue of having to replace it over and over as far as electrical something keeps moving or coming on or off in the car it’s worn down to batteries it happens at any time he can walk by the car and making the noise. I have to keep replacing the print tires due to this all I know is that when you’re driving it more getting ready to turn it makes a loud crunching grinding noise it can happen at any time it’s getting harder to control the steering wheel.

When I make a left or right turn the my car stops and struggles to accelerate. Meanwhile making a loud sound from underneath the front of the car. It sounds like something is getting ready to snap.

The front wheel hub assembly fails after numerous replacements. The after-market parts do not resolve the problem. Thw assembly girnds and hesitates on right turns during acceleration. This causes hesitation and an unsafe manner when making turns, suddenly, or moving away from emergency vehicles. This is a flaw in the manufacturer with the wheel hub that must be addressed. Thousands of dollars in repairs. Safety is at risk when the vehicle hesitates on turns with oncoming traffic. The dealer has inspected the part and several auto mechanics. The constant warning light in every case is the 'traction control' orange icon blinks when wheel grinds and hesitates. This will cause wear and tear to the sensor causing the abs light, service traction control, service stabilitrak. Service documents attached from 3 mechanics and 5 warranty replacements in 2 years.

Seatbelts aren't locking up, when turning it's giving me delays then normal acceleration kicks back in.

When I got the car I new it needed new tires so I went to the tire shop fro. M the dealership but I ask the dealer if the car had been in an accident because I could feel it shimmy he was trying to sale me and 2009 but I could here its power steering pump was out they were both the same price it only made since to get the newer car. After putting new tires on I seen it needed oil change then and transmission needed serviced. While I was doing that I called to ask the guy if he was going to help me out. Lol yea bring it in all charge you twice as much as the place you are at right now so I let him know I would let all my friends know. It was one thing after another. Its been one thing after another then the flapper for the vent started flapping and makes an awful noise all the time there no working air conditioning so I took it to a mechanic to look at it needs brakes and rotters and the list goes on and on so I wanted to get out of the 29. 9 interested the loan office contract me because im paying it off to fast and says I signed to wrong loan agreement and wants more money there in cahoots together it wouldnt let me mark everything thats wrong.

Front right lower control arm w/o police right front wheel. Tpms system.

I have to keep replacing the tires due to this all I know is that when you’re driving it more getting ready to turn it makes a loud crunching grinding noise it can happen at any time it’s getting harder to control the steering wheel. The cost of replacing the tires is ridiculous 2xs in a year or less. Gas let’s not even go there. Traction and stabilization always on along with brake assist and tpms front two tires stopped working. And once again it’s doing it. Not sure of exact date but before 2020.

We where coming home and heard a loud snap on my right side by the wheel and as we reduce speed the car starts to shake violently and the traction sensors went off the car reduced speed dangerously on the frw with traffic behind us and hard to steer. . . And moments after the car shut off.

Leaving home going to the fuel station to get gas for my car. I pulled out of the gas station and starting driving down the road about 1 min in to drive my service light came on stating to service my power steering, I could not handle the car, the steering was stiff to turn, I had to pull over shut down the car waited a few minutes started the car back up and the power steering returned to normal. Sense then, I have had a few more occurrences with the power steering.

I was driving on a residential street, going no more than 25 mph with my two two year olds in their car seats behind me. Suddenly and simultaneously, all four of the side airbags deployed (front and back), knocking my girls seats together, the front right side of the car dropped down and started grinding on the wheel. I was able to pull off to the side of the road thankfully. I turned the car off, and when I got out to look at the front, the car door shut, and for the first time, automatically locked me out, my kids inside, with its own key and my purse as well.

The front hub assembly is continuously defecting. Inhave replaced both sides a minimum of 6 times since 2013. The steering goes out, the brakes grind the traction control initiates and in severe times I loose all power to vehicle. This is in motion. From complete stop to motion, while in reverse and while turning in iether direction.

This vehicle is dangerous! ive reported some other mechanical failures that put me in danger but not all and they still have yet to stop happening. Ive spent over 10k repairing and replacing steering, suspension drive train/ drive axle and chassis components. But nothing has helped. As of late I keep getting alignments and replaced 2 tie rods struts control arms and wheel hub and bearings only to have my tires wear down unevenly and quickly in 2 weeks. I purchased the tires brand new 6 months ago. With a new wheels and front outter tie rods as well (which I again replaced 2 weeks ago). Also replaced in 2019; front and back brake assembly (shoes, pads, rotors) front and back (both sides) control arms, left and right front strut and spring assembly. New cv axle and front hub bearings full assembly left and right (2 weeks ago)additional left front strut and spring assembly (2 weeks ago). This list is just off the top of my head because there are more repairs; too many. Yet, the car keeps loosing steering and falling apart quicker every day. Plus, the inspection expires next month and it did not pass due to emmissions system issues. It is a 2012 & should not be problematic yet. I only keep repairing it because I am still financing since being ripped off by dealership at 23% Apr on top of overcharged 2xs blue book. Which has me far too upside down to trade in or even sell privately. I wouldn't sell it to my worse enemy anyway. Chevrolet should have to answer for their failure. Hard working people put trust in manufacturers and depend on their cars. I may lose everything because of mine but not without a fight and legal counsel. My next step is to contact a class action law firm to procure counsel for these matters. GMC, the NHTSA, and auto repair businesses (ie. Firestone complete auto care) will be contacted regarding the issue as well. Thank you.

This is the second 2018 chevy Impala I've had and the same problem existed. The front wheel bearings grind ridiculously, and I'm only at 48k miles now. Initially I reported this issue while my vehicle was under the bumper to bumper 36k mfg warranty and naturally the dealer found no issues and just lubbed the wheel area and sent me on my way. I am paying a pretty penny for this 2018 chevy Impala and want to file this complaint. I noticed this seemed to be a reported problem and that chevy has ignored this problem and continues to place these wheel bearings that are sub-par into the vehicles. . . . Why??? I haven't had this car 1 year yet and I have had more lub jobs that I care to mention( like every month). When driving this car and you're getting ready to brake/stop, the second you put your foot on the brake pedal, a horrible grinding sound emerges from the front end of my car, I shouldn't be fixing a problem that chevy has created. . . A recall should be considered or better yet instituted to remedy these sick vehicles, you want us to buy american, well you need to build them like americans. . Strong.

Wheel bearings had to be replaced housing also on 6 different occasions. Stabiltrak issues on 4 occassions sway bar links tie rod. Shocks struts. . . Biggest issue is wheel bearings most recently lasted 2 weeks before needed warranty work again for the 6th time. Cruise control sticks seat belt reciptical sticks wont stay locked in sometimes hesitates when shifting or getting getting up to speed this while vehicle in motion driving various speeds. Locking mechanism to lock vehicle doesnt work only unlock function most work preformed over past 2 -3 years at pepboys. Some other repair shop. Been issue ongoing last 2-3 years. . . Unresolved.

Car has had several problems even after being fixed. Only had car for few months and barley can drive it.

My vehicle was inspected and and marked "good" for brakes by fairway Chevrolet dealer in las vegas, nv. The braking system didn't seem to work as did before. I was driving about 30 mph approaching an intersection when the vehicle in front of me suddenly stopped on the yellow light. I hit the brakes and held it so hard I got a foot injury. With plenty of room to stop the brakes failed to stop my vehicle before I collided into the vehicle in front of me. The airbags didn't deploy. The damage to my front end is estimated over $6000 to repair. The other vehicle only got a scratch on the bumper. I had to go to an urgentcare facility to receive emergency care. Something is wrong with the braking system. The same symptoms are in our 2014 equinox but the dealer says theres nothing wrong. Please call me for any needed information. I can send more pictures.

A few problems. Wheel bearing senors go bad effecting power steering and stability control. Replaced 3 wheel bearing on different wheels in past 12 months. Also 20" rims with low pro tires are a problem. Had 2 plow outs in past 6 months when hitting pot holes and damaged 3 rims. Very costly to buy rims at $650 a piece and tires at $230 each. A safety problem not knowing if you will have a tire plow out because of a rough road or pot hole in the road. I have been driving 54 years and never had a problem like this before. Car was in motion with wheel bearing problem and tire and rim problem. At different times I was driving on city streets and highway. This problem happen at different times but most recent 5/5/19.

When driving, loss of power steering, abs, stabilitrack. This is a huge safety problem. This issue does not matter on road conditions. It happens whenever. The ring on the back of the wheel bearing gets weather elements behind it (mostly talking about water in the winter then freezes). This cause the ring to break. Once this ring is broke. I am assuming the abs cant keep track of the vehicle's motion. It then throws the codes. To tell do a visible inspection looking for the ring to be compromised. Don't worry your wheel bearing might not be bad. You just have to go to chevy and spend 190$ on a new wheel bearing.

While driving at no more than 65 mph on the freeway the control arm gave out and it caused loss of control. Then it hit the barrier wall and the 2 tire on the driver side blew on contact. Towed to mechanic and they said that the tie rods also went out. The brakes and shocks and struts were new and it is regularly in the shop for diagnostics and repairs. This is inexcusable and this vehicle needs to be completely recalled and taken out of circulation.

Well my 2007 Chevrolet Impala want drive or move so I don't if it's the transmission bad or not I need answer please it's leaking fluid and oil as well.

When making turns, left turns especially, the car hesitates and makes a grinding noise. It feels like it loses power, and will not move, which is very scary and dangerous in the middle of rush hour traffic in a busy city. Sometimes the stabilyzer and/or traction control lights come one during these episodes. This is the 3rd time I have had to have my car serviced for the exact same problem. I am a single divorced 55 year old woman, I do not have the time away from work or the money to continue to spend on repairs that I have no choice or control over. Please recall this problem. I have read hundreds of complaints about the same thing online when I researched my problem. Recall !!! or do we have to get killed before you the manufacturer does that?.

2008 chevy Impala ltz -- I am having trouble with the rear inner tires wearing down to the chords just like all the other complaints on here. I know it's not the tire brand, etc. As I've had a reputable mechanic put on two sets of tires. I found articles on a lawsuit and the fact that gm will fix the police cars with this issue, but not the general public's. I bought this car as a commuter car for my sons that will be college students and I need it to last. I want a copy of the TSB #08032a that addresses this issue. I just want my car fixed so that I don't keep blowing through sets of tires it is getting ridiculously expensive. My last set was supposed to wear out at 60,000 and only lasted 20,000. I am actually on my second set, so basically $1600 into tires alone, not to mention what it's going to cost me for the spindle/cambor/rear tie rods that is associated with the TSB mentioned above. Gm should be paying for this and it should be a massive recall. These cars are prolific in society. Lol. . . . We bailed them out in 2008, and they were cranking out lemons the same year. . . . Ironic!! gm refuses to take responsibility.
