What 619 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited

2014 CHEVY IMPALA - 50,000 MILES - THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT WILL SUDDENLY REGAIN POWER AND THE ENGINE WILL SURGE. ON 8/20/18 I CAN TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AND ALMOST STALLED. I DID NOT REALIZE HOW FAR I WAS PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, AND WHEN THE CAR REGAINED POWER THE FRONT TIRES SQUEALED FROM THE RESULTING BURNOUT. LUCKILY, I DIDN'T RUN ANYONE OVER FROM TAKING OFF LIKE THIS. A MOTHER WAS WITH HER CHILD ON THE SIDEWALK AND WAS NOT PLEASED WITH THE WAY I WAS DRIVING IN AN AREA WHERE KIDS PLAY. THIS CAR HAS HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER THE OTHER. I DISCOVERED A GM SERVICE BULLETIN PIP5507B - "IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES 100F OR HIGHER, VEHICLE MAY EXHIBIT A HESITATION OR STALLING CONDITION - CUSTOMERS CAN BE ADVISED TO UTILIZE FUELS WITH OCTANE 91 OR HIGHER, REFRAIN FROM IDLING, AND ONLY PARK VEHICLE IN A COVERED GARAGE. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T USE THIS VEHICLE, YOU'RE FINE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND NO RECALL. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO BE KILLED, FIRST.

RIGHT FRONT HEAD LIGHT LOW BEAM WIRE HARNESS BURNS COMPLETELY UP. I ALSO FOUND THE SAME SITUATION ON 3 OTHER 2014 IMPALA LIMITED WHILE LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT HARNESS IN TWO DIFFERENT SALVAGE YARDS. I THINK THIS IS SIGNIFICANT.

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!

I HAVE HAD AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITRAK, ABS, AND PARKING BRAKE COMING ON AND STAYING ON. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE STABILITRAK CAME ON I WAS JUNE 2015, 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF TO GET THE STABILITRAK TO GO OFF. ON 3 OTHER SEPARATE OCCASIONS I WAS PARKED AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR INTO ANY GEAR. SOMEHOW THE PARKING BREAK HAD ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. ONCE I SAT STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT WAITING ON ROADSIDE SERVICE, BUT WAS RESCUED BY MY SON WHO TWEEKED WITH THE CONTROLS UNTIL CAR WAS ABLE TO SHIFT. ALSO, THE GEARSHIFT AREA DOES NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THESE ISSUES ARE HAPPENING, MAKING IT HARD TO TELL WHEN CAR IS IN REVERSE, DRIVE, OR NEUTRAL. WHEN SHIFTING THE CAR FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE WANTS TO FALL OUT AND CAR WILL NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 45 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE ARE 16 DIFFERENT CODES SHOWING, AND THAT EACH CODE MUST BE ADDRESSED IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DUE SINCE I WAS PAST THE 5,000 MILES/36 MONTHS. I WAS 608 MILES PAST. I PLEADED WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THERE WERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUES. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER 3 YEARS, AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN FULLY OPERATIONAL FOR 11 MONTHS OF THOSE 3 YEARS. THIS ISSUE IS COSTING ME MORE IN GAS, BECAUSE INSTEAD OF TAKING THE HIGHWAY TO WORK I HAVE BEEN TAKING LOCAL ROADS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO RENT VEHICLES DUE TO THESE ISSUE. I STILL HAVE ABOUT 2.5 YEARS LEFT TO PAY ON THIS VEHICLE, AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. AUTO REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVEL AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO ADDRESS THE 16 CODES UNTIL THEY FIND THE RIGHT ONE. I AM HOPING THAT A RECALL IS DONE VERY SOON SO THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO FULLY USE MY VEHICLE AGAIN.

WHILE IN MOTION, 70 MPH WITH CRUISE AND A/C ON, ALL DASH INDICATORS SHUT OFF. CRUISE SHUT OFF AS WELL AS A/C. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON...LIKE I RESTARTED THE CAR. IT DID THAT SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AND EACH TIME EVERY CONCEIVABLE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH (CLUSTER PANEL). ALL HAPPENING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. WHEN THE DASH FINALLY STOPPED THIS CYCLING, IT LEFT THE CAR WITHOUT ANY INDICATORS (SPEED, TACH, FUEL, ETC)...THEY WERE ALL ON ZERO. FORTUNATELY, MY GARMIN GPS TOLD ME MY SPEED. THINGS REMAINED THAT WAY UNTIL I STOPPED AND SHUT OFF THE CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. AFTER RESTARTING THINGS WERE NORMAL, EXCEPT THAT MY DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR COLLISION AVOIDANCE INDICATOR REMAINED ON. THAT INDICATOR REMAINS ON 24/7...EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND PARKED OVERNIGHT. I FINALLY HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF. I LEAVE THE FUSE OUT ALL THE TIME NOW. THE ERRATIC DASH BOARD TROUBLE HAD HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME PREVIOUSLY. THE MIRROR ANTI COLLISION INDICATORS HAD BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ERRATIC DASH BOARD INCIDENTS.

THE RECALL THAT WAS ON THIS ISSUE, WHEN MY VIN WAS CHECKED IT SAID MY CAR WASN'T AFFECTED BY THIS BUT CLEARLY IT IS. THE RECALL SAID THE DEALER NEEDS TO UPDATE THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE SOFTWARE BUT THEY WILL NOT DO IT BECAUSE MY CAR HAS A SALVAGE TITLE. ALSO MY CAR WON'T GO OVER 50MPH BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED AND WONT RELEASE

TODAY IS THE SECOND TIME IN 6 MONTHS THAT MY CAR HAS DONE THIS. 2014 CHEVY IMPALA 62,000 MILES, 4 CYLINDER. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND FIRST THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WARNING COMES UP. THEN THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" WARNING APPEARS. THE ENGINE WILL NOT GO ABOVE 20 MPH AT THIS POINT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 AND SUDDENLY YOU HAVE NO POWER! I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. HE TOLD ME TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. I DID THAT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BUT I DID GET MY ENGINE POWER BACK. I'M TERRIFIED DRIVING THIS CAR. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN THIS SITUATION. I READ ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING FAILED, LEAVING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 74,000 MILES IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK SHOULD BE REPLACED AND ONLY A DEALER CAN REPROGRAM THAT RACK. IT IS A COST OF OVER $3,000 AND WITH A PRIOR MINIMAL RECALL I SMELL A LARGER QUALITY ISSUE.

DRIVING TO WORK AND ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD CAME ON FOR NO REASON. THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, GAS GAUGE, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, RADIO AND HEATER/AC CONTROLS AND TURN SIGNALS QUIT WORKING. ADDITIONAL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD WE'RE STABILTRAC, ABS, AIR BAG, TIRE MONITOR AND BRAKE LIGHT. PREVIOUS TO THIS WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BLIND SPOT MONITOR SYSTEM NOT FUNCTIONING. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW FOR ABOUT 5 WEEKS WITH NO ANSWER. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE 3 OTHER IMPALAS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE LIVE IN A TOWN OF UNDER 10,000 PEOPLE SO WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT WE ARE THE ONLY ONES. SORRY I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MY VIN NUMBER AT THIS TIME.
