2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA Electrical System Problems

THE ISSUE STARTED OUT AS A WARNING FROM THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM. IN THE PAST WEEK, THE ISSUE ESCALATED TO ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH COMING ON, AND THEN ALL ELECTRONICS GOING DEAD/DARK. THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS HAVE NO LIGHTS AND NO SOUND, THE RADIO SYSTEM IS DEAD, THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE ARE DEAD. AFTER SITTING A FEW HOURS, IT SEEMED THAT THINGS "RESET" TO JUST THE SIDE DETECTION WARNING. MOST RECENTLY, ALL THE ELECTRONICS ARE ACTING STRANGE. PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR HANDLE TO UNLOCK IT, DOES NOTHING TO THE DOOR LOCK, HOWEVER, THE DISPLAY SCREEN SHOWS "TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE". WHEN ATTEMPTING THE START THE CAR BY PUSHING THE START BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENS. IF I PUT THE FOB IN THE SLOT INSIDE THE ARMREST, IT WILL EVENTUALLY START, BUT AGAIN ALL DISPLAY FUNCTIONS ARE DEAD AS IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS (NO BLOWER - NO DEFROST-...

I HAD NOTICED THE EPB LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY, FAR MORE OFTEN THAN EVERY 50 KEY CYCLES, AND BEGAN EXPERIENCING A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN ACCELERATION, POOR BRAKING, BRAKE DUST BUILDUP, UNEVEN TIRE WEAR, BOGGING DOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT AND WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF A SLOWDOWN AND/OR TURN. I WOULD ALSO CONSTANTLY SMELL BRAKE DUST AND TIRE RUBBER AND FELT MY BRAKES WOULD BECOME EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH AFTER SHORT TRIPS. I OBSERVED THE OUTER REAR BRAKE PADS THROUGH THE CALIPER AND THERE SEEMED TO BE DECENT PAD LEFT. HOWEVER I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND WAS TOLD EVERY TIME THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO REPLACE THE PADS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY SOFTWARE FLASHES TO CORRECT ANY KNOWN OR UNKNOWN ISSUES, AND WAS ONCE TOLD THAT MY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE BLED AND AFTER HAVING THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE THEM WAS TOLD...

THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION ISN'T WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. USUALLY IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL, AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT'LL COME ON RANDOMLY AND STAY ON AND NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.

THE COMPUTER WITH THE RADIO COMPONENT GOES OUT CAUSING ALL ALARMS, TURN SIGNALS, AND NOTIFICATIONS TO BE SILENT. ALSO ONSTAR AND ALL RADIO COMPONENTS ARE INOP. TEMPORARILY YOU CAN FIX THE ISSUE BY DISCONNECTING AND RECONNECTING THE BATTERY BUT IT WILL INEVITABLY HAVE TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IS LOCATED IN MANY FORUMS.

FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW, THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM IS FAILING. WHEN THIS SYSTEM FAILS IT SLOWLY TAKES OUT THE REST OF THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, EVEN THOSE NOT RELATED TO ANY COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT REPAIRED IT WAS OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY MEANING I HAD TO PAY THE APPROX. $1000 BILL. A YEAR OR SO LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM SAYING THAT THAT REPAIR WOULD NOW BE COVERED UP TO 6 YEARS/80,000 MILE AND IF I HAD ALREADY PAID FOR SUCH REPAIR THAT I COULD FILE A CLAIM AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PREVIOUS WORK. WELL AMAZINGLY THEY REIMBURSED ME FOR THE FIRST REPAIR, WHICH WAS GREAT! EXCEPT NOW, THE SAME EXACT THING HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND I AM NOW PAST THE 6 YEAR 80,000 MILE MARK. GM NEEDS TO REDESIGN THIS SYSTEM TO NOT...

REAR BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAILED, CAUSING MOST ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TO ALSO FAIL. HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS, REAR CROSS TRAFFIC, SPEEDOMETER, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, INCONSISTENT GAS PEDAL OPERATION.

BEEN HAVING BATTERY CORROSION PROBLEMS. ALL AT ONCE ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON, STEERING GOT HARD. I WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL THIS OCCURRED.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING CAME UP AND MY CAR STARTED TO MALFUNCTION RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. IT WOULD SHUT OFF, COME BACK ON, LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING, AND I LOST BRAKING CONTROL. HAD TO LIMP MY CAR INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I KNOW CHEVROLET OFFERED A SPECIAL WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT WAS LIKE 6 YEARS LATER, AND HALF THE PEOPLE YOU FIND WITH THIS ISSUE ARE OUTSIDE THE MILEAGE THEY REQUIRE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE THE ONE TO FIX IT.

I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND NOT EVEN A DAY LATER AFTER THEY HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. BUT AS I AM RIDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I WAS GOING ABOUT 65 AND MY CAR SHUT AND CAME BACK ON. I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING WHEEL, THEN THE CAR STARTED DRIVING NORMAL. ONCE I ARRIVED TO MY JOB AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THE IGNITION LIGHTS ALONG WITH THE SIDE PANEL LIGHTS WAS BLANKING BUT NOTHING ELSE WAS ON. I COULDN'T PUT MY WINDOWS UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T CUT ON SO I LEFT IT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND WALKED BACK OUTSIDE AFTER 5 MINUTES BECAUSE I NOTICED ALL OF MY OUTSIDE LIGHTS WHERE ON, AND AT THIS TIME. I WAS ABLE TO CUT MY CAR ON AND...

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY INFANT DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WHEN EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL IN MY CAR STARTED GOING HAYWIRE. MY BLINKERS DID NOT WORK, MY RADIO WAS ON THE FRITZ, BREAKING WAS CUTTING IN AND OUT, AND MY STEERING KEPT LOCKING UP. WE WERE GOING THROUGH A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION IN TOWN TOO, AND MY CAR DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAVE GOTTEN US BOTH SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN WORSE. IT DID IT ONCE AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER WHILE I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY, BUT LUCKY I KNEW HOW TO REACT ONCE THE PROBLEM STARTED. I COME TO FIND OUT IT'S A 'SAFETY FEATURE' CAUSING THE ISSUE. IT'S SHORTING OUT AND CAUSING THE ENTIRE CAR TO ESSENTIALLY SHUTDOWN. WHILE. I'M. DRIVING. IF THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE IN NEED OF A RECALL, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS.

AROUND 3 YEARS AGO. 3 PARTS THE LANE DEPARTURE MODULES CONTROL ARE THE BLIND SPOT SENSORS, REAR BACKUP SENSORS AND A FRONT CAMERA. MY LANE DEPARTURE MODULES GOT WET AND MESSED UP MY CAR WHERE THERE WERE MANY THINGS GOING WRONG. WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR SAID THE AIR BAG WENT OFF, THEFT WAS DETECTED, BLOWER FAN & TEMP CONTROLS WHERE GOING ON AND OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. 2 YEARS AGO GM AGREED TO REPLACE THE MODULES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PROGRAMMING OF THE MODULES. THEY FINALLY GOT THEM TO PROGRAM. THE DAY I PICKED UP MY CAR I NOTICED ISSUES WITH THE SENSOR SYSTEM. THEY SAID TO DRIVE IT. I TOOK IT AND THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. WITH THE BLIND SPOT SENSOR, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME, I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS SHOWING WHERE I AM...

BLIND SPOT LIGHT DOES NOT TURN OFF RADIO POWERS ON AND OFF HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN START

RECURRING PROBLEMS WITH SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS. *TR

ALL MY SIDE SENSORS ARE FAILING AND CAUSING MY INFO SYSTEM TO TURN OFF. ALSO NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM ONE OF THE SENSORS. THESE EVENTS OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED UP. *TR

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE SERVICE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CAUSED BLIND SPOTS TO THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DUNN CHEVROLET (3000 DUSTIN ROAD, OREGON, OH 43616) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION MODULE AND WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,500.

MY SIDE DETECTION MODULE HAS GONE OUT AND IS NOW CAUSING OTHER ELECTRICAL FAILURES. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM ONLINE RESEARCH IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ATTRIBUTED TO DESIGN FLAWS. *TR

SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING THIS MESSAGE COMES ON AND WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AS WELL. [XXX] DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM SIDE OBJECT DETECTION MODULES COST $841.21 PLUS TAX. I CONTACTED [XXX] FROM GM AT [XXX]. I WAS TOLD THEIR IS NOTHING GM COULD DO AS MY CAR IS AT 11900 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS WILL CAUSE CAR TO POSSIBLY CATCH ON FIRE, NOT TO START AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES IF NOT REPAIRED. THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN SEVERAL 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALAS. I CAN'T USE THE VEHICLE FEARFUL OF ME AND MY CHILDREN MAY BE IN DANGER. I'VE HAD 3 OR MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH GM REPRESENTATIVE [XXX] BUT NO HELP. THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE DEFECTIVE PARTS USED DURING MANUFACTURING IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. MY NAME IS [XXX] MY ORIGINAL CASE #[XXX] WAS FILED...

I BOUGHT THE CAR MARCH 1ST 2017 WITH 89346 MILES. EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT,NO PROBLEMS, AND I LOVE IT.I RECEIVED A SPECIAL COVERAGE LETTER IN MAY OF 2019 THAT INFORMED ME OF A POTENTIAL SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT PROBLEM PREVENTING IT FROM WORKING PROPERLY AND TO BRING IT IN ONLY IF IT MET THE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAME WITH IT INCLUDING BEING WITHIN 6 YEARS OF ORIGINAL SERVICE OR 80,000 MILES. AT THE TIME, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF PROBLEMS, SO I JUST SET THE NOTICE ASIDE AND DID WHAT THE THE NOTICE TOLD ME,UNTIL FEBRUARY 2020. IT WAS WET OUTSIDE ONE DAY AND I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT LOCATED ON THE MIRROR ALWAYS STAYED ON, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS OFF. IT ALWAYS STAYS ON AND I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT IT SO I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND LEARNED IT IS A VERY COMMON EXPENSIVE PROBLEM...

AROUND 100,000 MILES (ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD) I STARTED RECEIVING A SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING AND IGNORED IT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS DEPENDENT ON THE BLIND SPOT WARNINGS. ONE MORNING I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE FOR ABOUT EVERY SENSOR ON THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED IT BUT THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A MECHANIC. THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS SHORTING OUT DUE TO THE BAD SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM SENSOR. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $750 TO REPLACE THE BAD SENSOR. THE WORST PART IS NOW ABOUT 18,000 MILES LATER, I'M GETTING THE SAME SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM ERROR. IT MUST BE A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IF THE REPLACEMENT PART IS LASTING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND LESS THAN YEAR. NOW, I HAVE TO BALANCE WASTING ANOTHER $750...

MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING ON OCCASIONAL INCIDENTS FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, I HAVE BROUGHT IT UP TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT ON FRIDAY JANUARY 17, 2020 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FWY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND MY CARS SPEED GAUGE DROPPED TO 1 AND MY SPEED BEGAN TO DECREASE, I HAD TO ACT QUICKLY, AS I WAS ON THE FAST LANE, I STEPPED HARDER ON THE GAS AND AFTER LIKE 5 SEC. MY SPEED AND GAUGE BEGAN TO INCREASE. I ALSO HAD AN INCIDENT WITH MY CAR ON FEB. 21, 2020 AS I GOING TO PARK AT MY COLLEGE, I BEGAN TO TURN LEFT AND MY CARS ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, MY CAR LIGHTS AND RADIO WERE ON THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WAS AT 14.9, BUT MY CAR NO LONGER WANTED TO START. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO TURN IT ON...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH AND APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BY PRESSING THE STARTER BUTTON WHICH THEN THE VEHICLE RESUMED BACK TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOTNICK CHEVROLET (179 FRONT ST, BINGHAMTON, NY 13905 (607) 723-8971) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE APPLYING THE BREAKS THE BREAKS LOCK UP AND BECOME HARD THERE IS ALSO A AIR NOISE COMING FROM BREAKS ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN TAKING TO THE MECHANIC SHOP HE STATED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAVE HAS TO WORK ON THE CHEVY MALIBU I FEEL THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE CHEVY BREAKING SYSTEM. ALSO THE BLINKER AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND DASH NOTIFICATION POPPED UP THAT I NEEDED TO SERVICE MY POWER STEERING, SERVICE MY STABILTRAC, SERVICE ABS. I LOST POWER (ELECTRIC) STEERING AND BARELY ABLE TO EXIT AND PARK SAFELY. I'M A SMALL WOMAN WITH NOT MUCH STRENGTH AND I COULD HARDLY TURN MY WHEEL WITH EVERY BIT OF MUSCLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE! I COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIED ALONG WITH OTHER DRIVERS/VEHICLES! THIS NEEDS TO BE A COMPLETE RECALL!!!!

THE VEHICLE HAD WATER DAMAGE FROM 'CLOGGED SUNROOF DRAINS', WHICH CAUSE WATER TO RUN ALL DOWN THE SIDE AND BACK PANELS CAUSING AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE FROM ONE HORRIBLE DESIGN FLAW. SOME OF THE THINGS EFFECTED WAS ELECTRICAL COMPANY'S SUCH AS ELECTRONIC PARKING BREAK WAS ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE CAUSE THE VEHICLE NOT TO MOVE! NEXT WAS CORROSION ON SEVERAL OTHER INSIDE WIRES HAVING TO DO WITH STEERING AND POSSIBLY AIR BAGS, BUT WHO KNOWS IF THEY WILL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND IT'S TOO LATE TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE DMAMGED. OTHER SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS SIDE DETECTION WAS CORRODED SO IT TOO MALFUNCTIONED. THERE WAS A LOT OF OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS DAMAGED BUT THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE COULD BE A HUGE SAFE CONCERN. THERE IS NOW SO MUCH MOLD WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO BE...

WHILE AT RED LIGHTS ALL ELECTRONICS WILL TURN OFF. THE CAR HAS TO BE RESTARTED. THE LIGHTS, LOCKS, AND SCREENS GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING.

SIDE MIRROR LIGHT STAYS ON WITH CAR OFF...ALSO SHUT DOWN OF HEATER INSTRUMENT LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING.

SIDE DETECTION WARNING SYSTEM FAILED AND AS A RESULT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER AND AIR BAG SYSTEM ALERT THEFT ALERT STARTING BEEPING FLASHING ONLY HALF OF THE STUFF WORKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT I CANT DRIVE THE CAR AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME TRUNK COULD OPEN DOORS COME UNLOCKED YOU CANT SEE HOW FAST YOUR GOING SO MY CAR IS PARKED IN A GARAGE UNDRIVABLE

THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SENSOR IS CORRODING AND SHORTING OUT. IT IS CAUSING OTHER SYSTEMS ON THE CAR TO SHOW ERROR MESSAGES AND FAILURES LIKE THE AIR BAG AND TRACTION SYSTEM WELL DRIVING. IT ALSO KEEPS BLOWING FUSES. THIS SENSOR WAS NEVER PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS. IT ALSO COST OVER $800 TO REPLACE ONE OF THEM. I KNOW THIS IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM BEFORE AND IT IS HAPPENING THE EXACT SAME WAY.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE GAVE ME A 'SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM' WARNING. A FEW MORE MILES DOWN THE ROAD, I SMELLED AN ELECTRICAL SMELL ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. LUCKILY, I MADE IT HOME AND AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND I'M THANKFUL MY 1 YEAR OLD SON WASN'T IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THAT TIME.

OIL CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE FAILURE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER, INSTABILITY AT ALL SPEEDS, AND SURGING OF ENGINE. GM DOES NOT HAVE ANY PARTS TO REPAIR THIS ITEM AND DOES NOT HAVE A ETA ON WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM, THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET OPTIONS AVAILIBLE EITHER DUE TO THE RATE OF FAILURE. GM PART# 12633613

SIDE DETECTION LIGHTS DON'T WORK AND FOLLOWED ALL THE IDEAS TO MAKE THEM WORK OTHER THAN REPLACING THEM.WAS GOING DOWN THE ROUND AND WAS GOING TO MAKE A TURN AND THE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING. THE NEXT TIME THEY WORK ,NOW THERE OUT COMPLETELY.

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN- SIDE DETECTION MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH. LEFT SIDE DETECTION INDICATOR STAYS ON. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. SERVICE TECHNICIAN INFORMS ME THE DETECTION MODULE IS CORRODED, LIKELY FROM MOISTURE. THE STATEMENT READS TWO "MISCELLANEOUS BODY ELECTRICAL- REPAIR" RECOMMENDATIONS TOTALLING $1104.91. I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS. I ASK IF WE CAN DISABLE OR TURN OFF THE SENSOR AND I AM TOLD NO. I ASK IF NEGLECTING TO REPLACE THE CORRODED MODULE CAN CAUSE FURTHER DISRUPTIONS WITH THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING SAFETY SYSTEMS, AND I AM TOLD YES, IT CAN. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THE MODULE SHOULD NEVER BE MADE IN A WAY WHERE IT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN ITS PLACEMENT IN THE REAR BUMPER. THIS IS NEGLIGENT DESIGN AND COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR SAFETY, THE USER, OR THE PRODUCT. I HOPE I HAVENT LEFT ANYTHING IMPORTANT OUT. I AM TRYING TO BE FACTUAL AND KEEP MY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING INDICATORS BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO TURN OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FELDMAN CHEVROLET OF LANSING (2801 E MICHIGAN AVE, LANSING, MI 48912, (517) 489-4858) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SAFETY SENSORS WERE INOPERABLE AND THERE WAS WATER INTRUSION IN THE SIDE SENSOR MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG AND SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED DIFFICULTY STARTING AND EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL DARKENED, THE RPMS PROVIDED INCORRECT READINGS, AND THE TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD FRONT VENTED HEATED SEATS AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS 15V465000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

MY CAR WON'T WORK AT ALL HALF OF THE TIME. MOSTLY ALL ELECTRICITY STOPS IN THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY IS 2 YEARS OLD. SOMETIMES ELECTRIC WILL WORK AND STILL WON'T START. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE'S SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN MY CAR AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON IT SAYS THAT IT'S NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I THINK MY ELECTRICAL HAS A PROBLEM IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE TO JUMP MY CAR A LOT.

WHEN DRIVING THE WARNING SENSOR CAME ON ON SAYING POWER STEERING AND STAB TRACK PROBLEM. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAME INCHES FROM AN ACCIDENT. MY STEERING WAS NOT NORMAL AND FOUND IT VERY HARD TO STEER AROUND CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT SLAMMED ON BREAKS. THEN I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND GOT WARNING THAT FRONT CAMERA WASN'T WORKING...I DON'T HAVE A FRONT CAMERA! THEN WHEN I BACKED OUT OF THAT DRIVEWAY IT GAVE WARNING THAT MY REAR CAMERA WARNING SENSORS WERE NOT WORKING. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR.

SIDE SECTION DOESN'T WORK LIGHT ON MIRROR IS CONSTANTLY ON TODAY EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS ON THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NONE OF THE GAUGES WORKED NO HEATER CONTROLS OR HEAT WAS NOT WORKING THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL SERVICE REMINDERS CAME UP ON THE DISPLAY THE RADIO ALSO DOESN'T WORK TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAC DOESN'T WORK!! AIR BAGS AND HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IS MY BIGGEST SAFETY CONCERN!! THE CAR DID THIS STATIONARY AND ALSO DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD!

BOUGHT CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO HAD 52,000 MILES ON IT SEEMED TO BE A DECENT CAR UNTIL TODAY DEC 1, 2019 DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR WITH ICE COVERED ROADS POWER STEERING WENT OUT , AND STABILITRAK, A LONG WITH ABS ALL AT ONCE AND PROMPTED SERVICE LIGHTS IN DASH AND INFO SCREEN POWER STEERING WAS SO STIFF I COULD BARELY TURN OR CONTROL CAR AND ALMOST SLAMMED INTO MEDIAN LUCKILY NOT HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE DROVE TO NEAREST EXIT AND TURNED CAR OFF TURNED BACK ON AFTER ABOUT 7 MIN AND STILL SAME THINGS IN DASH THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T END WORSE MY CAR CAN NOW BARELY STEER AND SERVICE LIGHTS ARE ON GOING TO TRY TO SEE ABOUT TALKING TO SOMEONE AT DEALERSHIP TOMMARO IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR

MY SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING ALL MY OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ACT UP.

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....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HUB SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,926.

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR THE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MESSAGE ON MY IMPALA AND I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE WORDING IN THE LETTER "OF IT BEING COVERED WITHIN 6 YEARS OF THE DATE YOUR VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE." I THOUGHT IT MEANT IT COULDN'T BE OLDER THAN 6 YEARS OLD BUT WASN'T SURE WHAT PLACED IN SERVICE MEANT AND ALSO NOT HAVE OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT. MY VEHICLE HAS ALMOST 26,000 AND MY DATE WAS SEPTEMBER 13 PER THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, SO WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED ANYMORE. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT IN AUGUST BUT HAD TO CANCEL IT AS MY MOM WAS JUST PUT INTO HOSPICE AT THAT POINT. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD PUT IN THE LETTER MY DATE OF ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE BUT IT WOULD MAKE IT A LOT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION MODULE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ALERTED THE CONTACT THAT THE SIDE DETECTION INDICATOR WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM GM REGARDING AN ELECTRICAL RECALL ON MY 2014 CHEVY IMPALA 2014. THERE IS WATER DAMAGE IN SIDE DETECTION SENORS, WHICH ARE UNDERNEATH THE 2 BACK TIRES. WATER DAMAGE THAT HAS CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH EVERY ELECTRICAL PART OF THE CAR. SPEEDOMETER GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. SENSORS ARE BEEPING WHILE DRIVING RADIO GETS LOUD TURNS OFF AND ON ON ITS OWN. AIRBAG WARNINGS WHILE DRIVING, BATTERY SHUTS DOWN. ITS A MESS.

WE WERE DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS ALL DASH LIGHTS HEADLIGHTS AND MOTOR JUST CUT OUT WE WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED.WE FOUND OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DETECTION IN THE REAR BUMPER WAS CORRODED AND SHORTING OUT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

"SERVICE SIDE DETECTION" COMES ON THE DASH EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED. RECENTLY I TRIED TO ENTER MY VEHICLE AND THE FOB DID NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. ONCE IT DID, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF STARTING THE VEHICLE IT FINALLY WORKED, BUT THE GAUGES KEPT TURNING ON AND OFF EVEN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AS WELL AS THE DOOR LOCKS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS QUITE CONCERNING WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT SHOOK AND SHUT OFF. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED, SHUT OFF, AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V614000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO ROBERT WOODALL CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC, CADILLAC (1063 RIVERSIDE DR, DANVILLE, VA 24540, 434-797-1411) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR STALLS WHEN I TURN OFF THE A/C IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SOMETIMES THIS STARTED A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO GET IT FIXED BY THE DEALER BUT IT STILL SHUTS DOWN

BLIND SPOT SENSOR WENT OUT AND SENSORS ON DASH WENT TO FRITZ
