What 619 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited

TAKATA RECALL. STABLINK FIRST CAME ON MY CAR WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD IT WAS SHAKING DID NOT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED. HAD THAT FIXED, THEN 9/2018 MY SIDE BLINDERS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING WOULD COME ON AND OFF. AT TIMES ONE WOULD JUST STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF. RECEIVED A LETTER 4/2019 ABOUT EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS BUT ONLY GOOD FOR 80,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 98,000 MILES. SO HERE I AM STUCK TO HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

THIS OCCURRED WHEN LEAVING A FRIEND'S DRIVEWAY AND DRIVING ONTO A COUNTY ROAD. THE POWER STEERING WAS INOPERATIVE! TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP. MECHANIC FOUND LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR RING BROKEN. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! THERE ARE 50215 MILES ON THIS CAR AND IT IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED.

I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE LANE DEPARTURE MODULES THAT EXPLODE AND AND CAUSED MY SYSTEM TO FAIL. SAYING THAT MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED, MY GAS WAS EMPTY, THEY THEFT IS DETECTED, THE A/C BLOWER MOTOR TURNED ON AND OFF, FINALLY I GOT THE MODULES REPLACED, BUT NOW THERE ARE NEW SAFETY ISSUES HAPPENING. THE LIGHT ON THE MIRROR TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS NEXT TO ME TURNS ON ALL THE TIME. I ALMOST RAN OFF THE RAID BECAUSE I WAS CHANGING LANES AND IT WENT OFF AND NOW ONE WAS THERE. THE BACKUP SENSORS ARE DELAYED IN TELLING ME IF SOMETHING IS BEHIND ME OR COMING BEHIND ME. THE FRONT SYSTEM DOES NOT MAKE THE CAR SLOW DOWN WHEN I AM IN CRUSE CONTROL AND A CAR GOES SLO INFORNT OF ME. I DON'T TRUST THAT THE AIRBAG WILL GO OFF IF IT NEEDS TO IN A COLLISION.. I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE 5E 'SERVICE STABILITRACK' LIGHT WILL TURN ON; THE GEAR WILL BE ON MANUAL INSTEAD OF INT HE PARK POSITION - AND I AM UNABLE TO SWITCH THE GEAR. I AM NOT ABLE TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND ON A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START ON PARK. THE CAR HAS ALSO SWITCHED TO THE MANUAL POSITION WHEN I'M DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY AFTER IT'S RAINED THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS IT TURNS OFF. THE PROBLEM OF GOING FROM PARK TO MANUAL OR FROM BEING IN DRIVE TO MANUAL HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR WHEN IT IS STATIONARY- IT'S ALSO HAPPENED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN AT LOW SPEED.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM QUIT WORKING. HOWEVER IT IS CONNECTED TO THE MAIN COMPUTER SO SOMETIMES MY CAR WILL IDLE POORLY AND REV HIGH. THIS COULD PRESENT A HUGE PROBLEM IF IT REVS HIGH WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE FOR A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALSO HEARD PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT STALLING. SO THIS PRESENTS IT'S OWN PROBLEMS. SEEMS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE LOSS OF POWER LIKE GM HAD WITH THEIR IGNITION SWITCHES.

NHTSA ODI 11235008

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM FAILURE. MODULE ABSORBING MOISTURE. DETECTION LIGHT ON SIDE MIRROR STAYS ON, EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLASHES VARIOUS WARNINGS. GM IS AWARE THAT IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART BUT LIMITS COVERAGE TO CERTAIN MILEAGE. SEEMS LIKE A PART THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE NEAR THE GAS TANK WOULD BE A BIG ENOUGH SAFETY HAZARD TO WARRANT A FULL RECALL. ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN. GAVE WARNINGS ON THE SIDE DETECTION, THEN LIGHT STAYED ON IN THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR.

NHTSA ODI 11234037

DRIVING ALONG ON FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH LIT UP WITH VARIOUS FLASHING LIGHTS AND WARNINGS, THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND MY HVAC STOPPED FUNCTIONING. HAD TO PULL OVER ON BUSY HIGHWAY AND RESTART TO NO AVAIL. PULLED OVER AGAIN ONCE I GOT TO REST STOP. LET IT SIT. RESTARTED AND WORKED OKAY. INTERNET SAYS PROBLEM IS WITH SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM (WHICH DEALER CONFIRMED BUT SAID MY CAR MISSED CUT-OFF DATE BY 5 DAYS ON A $700 REPAIR BILL. CAR HAS BUT 12,300 MILES ON IT (I AM 92 YEARS OLD). INTERNET ALSO STATES THAT IF ISSUE IS NOT FIXED IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH DASHBOARD ELECTRONICS, INCLUDING FIRE. GM ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #N172097060 (NO OWNER NOTIFICATION), WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD I MISSED OUT ON BY 5 DAYS.

ACCORDING TO AN APRIL 2019 LETTER FROM CHEVROLET/GM, SIDE BLIND-ZONE ALERT SENSOR IS KNOWN TO NEED REPLACEMENT. THEIR LETTER SAYS TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT ANY GM DEALER, BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO ETA FOR THE BACK-ORDERED PARTS. TODAY I CALLED GM DIRECTLY AND THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE AN ETA FOR WHEN THESE PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE. THE REP I SPOKE TO TODAY REALIZED THIS WAS PRETTY ABSURD, BUT OBVIOUSLY PROVIDING THE PARTS GOES ABOVE HIS PAY GRADE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

IN MY 2014 CHEVY IMPALA LT I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN WASHING THE CAR WATER SEEMS TO LEAK INTO THE CAR IN THE TRUNK AND INTO THE AREA WHERE THE SPARE TIRE SITS. HOWEVER IT'S NOT NOTICEABLE AS THE CARPET IN THE TRUNK DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE BET UNTILL YOU LIFT IT UP. ANOTHER THING I NOTICED WITH THIS WAS THAT MY LOCKS ON THE DOORS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES AND AT ONE POINT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE UNLOCK REQUEST FROM THE TRANSPONDER. I THEN USED ONSTARS REMOTE UNLOCK AFTER TRYING EVERY BUTTON ON THE TRANSPONDER TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE. SHORT TIME AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE I HAVE NOTICED MY PARKING BREAK TO ACTIVATE IT'S SELF AFTER BEING PARKED AND THE CAR BEING SHUT OFF I WOULD COME BACK AND SEE THAT THE PARKING LIGHT WOULD BE ON AND I'D HAVE TO PRESS THE BREAK TO UNLOCK THE PARKING BREAK. WHEN THE CARS PARKING BREAK GOES ON THE CAR IS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE. I WANT THE CAR TO REPEAT THE ISSUES SO THEY MAY BE RECORDED ON VIDEO HOWEVER I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE MY VEHICLE AS I TAKE PRIDE IN THE PRODUCT THAT I HAVE PURCHASED.

SERVICE BLIND DETECTION SYSTEM. THIS WARNING CAME ON AFTER 1 DAY OF PURCHASING MY 2014 IMPALA SO I TOOK CAR BACK AND THE DEALER TOOK IT TO CHEVY TO FIX THE RECALL BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THEY'RE TO MANY MILES ON MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE I'M WITHIN MY 15DAYS IF USED VEHICLE WARRANTY AND IF THIS ISSUE CONTINUES THIS COULD CAUSE OTHER ISSUES AS I HAVE READ DUE TO REVIEWS ON THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE NOW IT BECOMES A BIGGER ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE LAWSUITS DUE TO BEING NOT COVERED AND WITH BEING OUT OF THE MILEAGE COVERAGE PERIOD COULD REALLY DESTROY A COMPANY BECAUSE IT'S JUST NOT SAFE. I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION AND HOW THIS COULD BE FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW PURCHASE AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE VEHICLE 5 DAYS AND IF THIS VEHICLE STARTS A ELECTRICAL FIRE/ PROBLEM IT BECOMES A BIGGER ISSUE CAN YOU PLEASE FIX MY ISSUE AND MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RECALL MESS.

MILEAGE: 89000 CUSTOMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IS NOW AVAILABLE REGARDING THE SIDE BLIND ZONE DETECTION SYSTEM ERROR THAT DISPLAYS OVER THE ENTIRE DASH DISPLAY PANEL. THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 6 YEARS FROM THE DATE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN SERVICE AND 80,000 MILES. MANY OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AT JUST OVER 80,000 MILES OR HAVE GONE PAST 80,000 MILES DUE TO GM'S LACK OF A TIMELY RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED SEVERAL PEOPLE. THE SERVICE SIDE DETECTION MESSAGE APPEARS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE AND REMAINS TO BLOCK THE DIGITAL INFO CENTER UNTIL IT IS DISMISSED BY THE DRIVER WHO HAS TO MOVE THE THUMB TO PRESS THE BUTTON. THIS MESSAGE ALSO RE-APPEARS AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MILES CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE ROAD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ALERT. THE REAR SIDE DETECTION MODULES WERE PLACED BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS AND COLLECT WATER, DUST, DIRT, AND DEBRIS CAUSING FAILURE. GM SHOULD REDESIGN THIS HOUSING TO BETTER PROTECT THE MODULES IN THE FUTURE

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT SENSORS HAVE FAILED. THESE FAILED SENSORS ARE CAUSING OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE INCLUDING AIR BAG WARNING, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKING, HVAC CONTROLS NOT WORKING AND INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH STARTING THE CAR. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM EXTENDING COVERAGE ON THE COMPONENTS TO 6 YEARS / 80,000 MILES. VEHICLE HAS 142,000 MILES BUT THIS IS NOT A PART THAT IS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PART HAS KNOWN ISSUES BUT HAS LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF TIME/MILEAGE THEY WILL COVER. SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEING UNRESPONSIVE AND AIR BAG POTENTIALLY BEING DISABLED DUE TO THIS.
