NHTSA Complaint #11323950 — 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I OWN A 2014 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ. DURING THE WINTER OF 2018 - 2019 I STARTED SEEING THE SIDE DETECTION LIGHT COME ON RANDOMLY AND STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING. THE PROBLEM PROGRESSED AND ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, AT NIGHT, ALL POWERED SYSTEMS FLASHED ON AND OFF INCLUDING MY HEADLIGHTS. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED. I RELUCTANTLY PAID THE $1,456 BILL. A FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED THE NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND I SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT, WHICH I DID RECEIVE FROM THE DEALER. NOW A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I KNEW I NEEDED TO GET THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. WHEN I CALLED TO GET AN APPOINTMENT THEY WERE THREE WEEKS OUT. NOW JUST DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, MY CAR WON'T EVEN START. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FLASH ON AND OFF. MY CAR HAS JUST UNDER 80,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT EFFECTS ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR. MOST OF THE SAFETY FUNCTIONS OF THIS CAR RELY ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR
