NHTSA Complaint #11277011 — 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA

THE CAR HAS INTERMITTENT VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT WILL RUN FINE AND THEN THE NEXT TIME THE KEY FOB WONT OPEN THE DOOR, NO INTERIOR LIGHTS, IT WONT START...ABSOLUTELY NO POWER TO ANYTHING IN THE CAR. IT IS AS IF THE ENTIRE BATTERY WAS REMOVED. THEN LATER, IT WILL START RIGHT UP. TRYING TO JUMP START IT DOES NOTHING.THIS HAS LEFT ME COMPLETELY STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED 3 TIMES. BUT EACH TIME WHEN I GET IT TO THE MECHANIC, IT STARTS RIGHT UP. OTHER TIMES, THE CAR RUNS FINE BUT THE DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK AND LOCK ON THEIR OWN RAPIDLY OVER AND OVER. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE SITTING WITH THE CAR ON AND IN PARK. OTHER TIMES WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE SPUTTERS, THE RADIO DISPLAY FLASHES ON AND OFF, AND THE AC BLOWER CUTS OUT ALL AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE SPUTTERING STALLS THE ACCELERATION WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. OTHER TIMES JUST THE RADIO AND THE DISPLAY WILL GO OFF - SOMETIMES FOR DAYS & SOMETIMES JUST A FEW MINUTES, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE. OTHER TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL COMPLETELY STOP WORKING AND THE GAS GAGE REGISTERS NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE ON LONG DRIVES SO THAT I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING OR WHETHER I HAVE ENOUGH GAS. IT WILL THEN START BACK UP, BUT MAY BE DAYS LATER. I TOOK IT IN TO BE FIXED. THEY TOOK THE COMPUTER OUT FROM UNDER THE REAR WHEEL WELL AND SHOWED ME THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED. I DROVE THE CAR WITHOUT A COMPUTER FOR 8 MONTHS BUT BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEMS CONTINUING, I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW COMPUTER. THE CAR HAD TOO MANY MILES FOR THIS TO BE COVERED SO I PAID OVER $1500 FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. NOW IT IS 3 WEEKS AFTER GETTING THE NEW COMPUTER INSTALLED. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE CONTINUED. AND AGAIN TODAY, I WAS STRANDED WHEN I WENT OUT AFTER WORK AND FOUND IT DEAD AGAIN. IT IS BACK IN THE DEALER AGAIN.
