I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED IN 2014 WITH ~30,000 MILES, AND IT PRESENTLY HAS ~85,000 MILES. IN THAT TIME I HAVE REPLACED 4 GAS PEDALS BECAUSE THE ALERT TRIGGERED "SERVICE STABILITRAK" TELLS THE TECHNICIAN TO REPLACE THE GAS PEDAL - CLEARLY NOT THE PROBLEM. ESSENTIALLY, WHEN THE DEFECT OCCURS, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED TO WHERE THE CAR CAN BARELY GET OUT OF ITS OWN WAY WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS DURING HIGHWAY RUSH HOUR (WHEN FOLKS DRIVE MORE AGGRESSIVELY) OR PULLING ONTO A ROADWAY FROM A DEAD STOP. IF I POWER THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT, THE ERROR WILL USUALLY CLEAR, BUT OFTEN REOCCURS. SINCE IT TENDS TO HAPPEN ON HOT, SUNNY DAYS (TEMP >75F) WHEN THE A/C IS RUNNING, IT FEELS LIKE A WIRING PROBLEM. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUGGESTED REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE, BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OVER A SIMILAR ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT GM HAS A PROBLEM THAT IT IS NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS WITH A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN.

HELLO, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS COMING ON SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED MY IMPALA WITH 60,000 MILES ON IT. IT TELLS ME TO SERVICE STABLE LINK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, THE ABS SLIT STAYS ON AND I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HUBS ON THE FRONT. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO UNLESS I REWIRE EVERYTHING. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST MOVE THE VEHICLE AND DURING MY TRIP.

NHTSA ODI 11013489

I HAVE ABOUT 72,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGES COME ON AND THE ABS AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ALSO ARE ON. IT HAPPENS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AND ALSO THE ABS KICK IN AND EFFECTS THE STEERING. I HAVE REPLACED THE RIGHT AND LEFT HUB ASSEMBLIES AND IT HAS NOT HELPED NO CODES ARE FOUND WHEN VEHICLE IS SCANNED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. THIS WILL ALL HAPPEN IN DRIVE WAY AND ON CITY ROADS/HIGHWAYS.

NHTSA ODI 11010136

INTERMITTENTLY, THE DIC WILL SOUND AN ALARM AND DISPLAY THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES:SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I SOMETIMES NOTICE A DECREASE IN ENGINE POWER AND/OR GRINDING NOISES FROM THE FRONT END WHEN I MAKE TURNS. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND/OR RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS AND DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH ANY ROUGH OR UNUSUAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHAT CAUSES IT UNLESS IT IS SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUITING. I CAN TURN THE STABILITRAK OFF AND THE MESSAGES AND DIMINISHED MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE WILL STOP, BUT MAY RE-APPEAR WEEKS LATER. ACCORDING TO THE REPORTS I HAVE READ ON-LINE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG IMPALA OWNERS WITH CARS OF SIMILAR YEARS AND MILEAGE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES. IN AN EFFORT TO FIX THE ISSUE, OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTEDLY REPLACED SENSORS, WIRES, WIRE HARNESSES, HUB ASSEMBLIES, THROTTLE BODIES, AND BRAKE COMPONENTS. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO RECALL OUR CARS IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. NONE OF THESE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS SHOULD BE FAILING SO SOON. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND BRAKING ABILITY WHILE DRIVING IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM, AND ANY MECHANICAL ISSUE THIS WIDESPREAD AMONG CAR OWNERS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO AN OFFICIAL RECALL AND SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY THE AUTOMAKER AT NO CHARGE TO THE PUBLIC.

CAR HAS 68,000 MILES. A FEW DAYS AGO THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH DISABLED REMOTE START. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS UNTIL I WENT TO GET INTO THE CAR. I'M IN MI AND THIS PAST WEEK HAS BEEN VERY COLD. I JUMPED IN AND DROVE IT TO WORK (LESS THAN 3 MILES). ON THE WAY, THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. NO SURPRISE, AS IT WAS A LITTLE SLIPPERY. NO OTHER PROBLEMS. ON WAY HOME FROM WORK: CAR STARTS UP FINE, NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL AT START. ITS ABOUT 13* OUT. ALMOST HOME: ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON, THEN RIGHT BEFORE TURNING ON MY ROAD THE STABILIZER LIGHT COMES ON AND REDUCE POWER LIGHT, CAR JERKS AND LOSES POWER LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL OUT. IT MADE IT HOME. NEXT MORNING, ENGINE LIGHT ON BUT NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS. I CALL AROUND AND DEALERSHIP SUGGESTS I BRING IT IN AND HOOK IT UP TO RUN A DIAGNOSTICS FOR $98. I GO OVER TO PARTS STORE AND HAVE THEM RUN IT FIRST. ERROR CODES SHOW UP THAT "DON'T REALLY MEAN ANYTHING" AND THEY RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT. RUNS A COUPLE OF DAYS FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS, LIGHTS COMING ON ETC. TEMP DROPS AGAIN AND REPEAT THE WHOLE PROCESS ALL OVER. I BRING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME IT NEEDS HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND NEW LINES, AFTER THEY ASKED ME IF I RAN E85 IN IT, WHICH I DO BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY SUGGESTED WHEN I BOUGHT IT! I CAN'T AFFORD THE $900 RIGHT NOW AND I PICKED IT UP. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO GET ANOTHER ESTIMATE AND I'M TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM (WE'RE SEEING THIS ALL THE TIME. IT'S A PROBLEM WITH RUNNING E85 IN COLD TEMPS). THAT PERSON SUGGESTS I RUN MAO44 AND PREM UNLEADED IN IT AND IT SHOULD RUN FINE FOR A WHILE. I"M ALSO TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, EVEN THOUGH "WE'RE SEEING THIS ALL THE TIME".

NHTSA ODI 10897321

MY CAR IS TRYING TO KILL ME. AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN I HIT THE GAS THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON. MY DASH SAYS SERVICE STABILITRAK , TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS. I MUST TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. WITH ALL THAT, IF I DRIVE UP HILL IT TURNS THE TRACTION CONTROL ON, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT UP AND THE LIGHTS STAY ON. WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED ALL THE LIGHTS GO AWAY. TWICE I WAS PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A STOP. THAT SITUATION HAPPENED AND MY CAR DIDNT MOVE. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS ABLE TO MOVE OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE SEVERLY INJURED. THIS HAPPENS WITH MY VEHICLE DAILY. I TOOK MY CAR IN BECAUSE MY ALTERNATOR FAILED. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A TSB FOR THE ISSUE AND THEY DID NOTHING. IT ALSO HAPPENS A LOT IF IM ACCELERATING WHILE TURNING A CORNER. THE DASH LIGHTS UP LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.

ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO MY 2012 CHEVY IMPALA STARTED CAUSING ISSUES WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED WITH THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT. TAKING IT TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY PUT THE COMPUTER ON IT & WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CODES WERE RELATED TOO. I THEN SEARCHED GOOGLE FOR ANY ISSUES COMPARING TO MINE AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINS ABOUT THE SAME THING. FOLLOWING THE REPAIRS THAT OTHERS HAVE PERFORMED, I TRIED THE SAME THING WITH NO RESULTS. AT THE MOMENT I AM LOOKING AT REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR WITH THE HOPES THAT IT WILL BE FIXED. THE SAFETY CONCERNS IS THAT MY VEHICLE WILL BE FINE FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS AND MY CAR WILL CONTINUE AT VERY LITTLE SPEEDS AND THE SHIFTING FROM GEAR TO GEAR WILL GO UP TO 5 AMPS. MY CAR WILL THEN START BUCKING LIKE A HORSE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC UNTIL IT STABILIZES AND I'M ABLE TO RUN AT GOOD SPEEDS. MY CAR HAS NOT YET STALLED BUT WITH IT REDUCING SPEEDS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, IT CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS AS A FAST MOVING CAR CAN COME UP ME AND HIT ME. I HOPE THIS GETS ATTENTION FROM GM AS I HAVE READ THAT SEVERAL OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS MY SECOND MESSAGE FOR THE SAME ISSUES AND I DO NOT RECALL HAVING RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM MY 1ST COMPLAINT. PLEASE ADVISE WHY GM HAS NOT MADE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND GIVE THEIR CUSTOMER'S A BETTER DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THANK YOU. *TR

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AFTER APPLYING BRAKES MADE AWFUL NOISE AND I REAR ENDED A CAR. IT WAS CLEAR, DRY AND SUNNY AT THE TIME AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. I BELIEVE THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR HAS NOW STARTED COMING ON SINCE THE CAR ACCIDENT. THE DEALER THAT THE BODY SHOP TOOK THE CAR TO AFTER IT FIXED THE FRONT BUMPER SAID IT'S NOT THE TIRE SENSOR THAT'S BAD.

IN ADDITION, THE ABS, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL, AND MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRES CONNECTED TO THE SENSORS WERE FAULTY. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WOULD BE NEEDED TO DETERMINE WHAT SPECIFIC PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2012. I REPORTED THE ISSUE IN JANUARY 2015. WHEN I START MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY FROM A COLD START, I PROCEED TO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND AS I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES. AS I STOP THE VEHICLE, I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TOWARD THE LEFT AS I PROCEED TO MOVE. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON A SECOND TIME BUT THE ABS LOCKS THE LEFT WHEEL (NO ABS LIGHT). I HEAR A METAL GRINDING FOR LESS THAN 3 SECONDS AND THEN IT RELEASES. IT HAPPENS IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS BUT THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY CLUELESS ON HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE CHEVY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WON'T ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT AFFECTS MILLIONS OF IMPALAS AND EVEN OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL. (COST = MONEY/ LOSS OF PROFIT) I DID RESEARCH AND NOTICED THERE IS A BULLETIN RELEASED ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING IF CHEVY IS WAITING ON SOMEONE TO GET KILLED IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING AFTER EVERY ATTEMPT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN,MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST, & ABS LIGHT ALL POP ON. SINCE THEN IT HAS WENT ON AND OFF FOR MANY DAYS UNTIL IT JUST FINALLY STAYED ON PERMANENTLY. ALSO MESSAGE: "STABILITRAK SERVICE AND TRACTION CONTROL , BRAKE ASSIST " FINALLY TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN CULVER CITY,CA IN MAY 2013 & WAS TOLD THEY TESTED THE FRONT ABS CONNECTOR AND TRACTION AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND NO CODE ERRORS. RESET THE SENSORS ANYWAYS AND ADJUSTED THE TIMING. AS SOON AS I DROVE OUT THE DEALER,SAME ERROR MESSAGES AND LIGHTS RETURNED. TOOK CAR AGAIN TO SAME DEALER &WASTOLD "I MUST HAVE DROVE THROUGH WATER OR OILY SURFACE AND LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF AFTER I DROVE 20 OR SO MILES".LIGHTS & ERRORS DID NOT GO AWAY.RETURNED TO THE SAME DEALER AGAIN,THIS TIME AGAIN FOUND NO ERRORS BUT THEY PROCEED TO REPLACE THE TIRE SENSORS AND RESET THE SENSOR ID. LIGHTS&CODES WENT OFF FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN RETURNED WITH A GRINDING NOISE WHEN LEFT TURN, LOOSE ENGINE POWER &STEERING POWER, LIGHT &CODES CONTINUE TO STAY ON,& STALLS FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN LEFT TURN. I HAVE BEEN AT A LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN WHEN THE CAR WILL STALL & NOT LET ME TAKE OFF.BRAKES APPEAR TO LOCK UP.JUST MISSED A FEW CAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO STALL. HAS LEFT ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT HEAD ON & WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND GOT STUCK ON THE TURN. CANNOT ACCELERATE IN A TIMELY FASHION IS A HUGE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE DEALER OBVIOUSLY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE HAD TIRE AND BRAKE EXPERT SHOPS LOOK AT THE PROBLEM A FEW TIMES. ALSO NOT FINDING THE PROBLEM. FINALLY DECIDED TO JUST TRY &IGNORE IT BUT AFTER SO MANY CLOSE CALLS OF ACCIDENTS& ENDAGERING MY FAMILIES LIFE IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO JUST DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE OR TO CONTINUE TO SPEND MONEY TO TRY & FIND PROBLEM.FORUMS PROVE OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
