NHTSA Complaint #10978815 — 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA

UNWANTED TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEED. IT USUALLY HAPPENS FROM A STOP WHEN TURNING LEFT, BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED WHEN TURNING LEFT, WHEN GOING STRAIGHT OVER A BUMPY ROAD AND ALSO WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE ROADS ARE DRY. TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ACTIVATES WITH A DISTINCT NOISE AND VEHICLE HESITATION. DASH LIGHTS/NOTIFICATIONS ARE USUALLY NOT ACTIVATED HOWEVER SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL HAS APPEARED A FEW TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ONE AND A HALF YEARS VERY INTERMITTENTLY, BUT HAS BECOME CONSTANT NOW EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR 6 DAYS OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I FINALLY DROVE WITH A MECHANIC AND EASILY REPLICATED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR A 4TH TIME (AFTER THE MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM). THE CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE PROBLEM MUST BE REPAIRED PERMANENTLY.
