2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA Electrical System Problems

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION MODULE FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT DROVE TO JOE HOLLAND CHEVROLET & IMPORTS (210 MACCORKLE AVE SW, SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV 25303, 304-744-1561) TO HAVE THE FAILURE REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND WERE ON BACKORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

STARTED MY VEHICLE AND POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON, DISMISSED IT, STABILITY CONTROL WARNING APPEARED, DISMISSED IT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT REMAINED ON. 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...

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.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKING TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL FOX CHEVROLET (725 S ROCHESTER RD, ROCHESTER HILLS, MI 48307) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF AND THE LIGHTS POP UP SAYING REAR STABILITY, ABS ANTI THEFT DETECTION, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.THE CAR HAS DONE THIS THREE TIMES SO FAR WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR.

OBJECT SENSORS. DUE TOO RAIN SNOW. ONE WINTER, THEY BOTH WENT OUT . THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED FROM WATER.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM FAILURE UPON STARTING VEHICLE. FAILURE WILL NOT RESET

TAKATA RECALL MY STEERING ASSIST LIGHT IS ON AS WELL AS STABILITRACK IS ON OCCURRED AFTER GOING THROUGH WATER CROSSING

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...

KEY IS STUCK IN IGNITION AND CALL WILL NOT TURN ON

I AM GETTING THE MESSAGE "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" AND NO LONGER HAVE INDICATOR FLASHES IN SIDE MIRRORS WHEN BEING OVERTAKEN BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE MESSAGE COMES ON WHEN I START THE CAR.

DRIVING ON CITY STREET AT OR ABOUT 35 MPH, SERVICE STABILITRAK INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. THE VEHICLE THEREAFTER BEGINS TO SHUTTER AND SPUTTERS INTERMITTENTLY. PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE HAS SIGNIFICANT POWER LOSS.

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...

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA LT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE DETECTION WAS MALFUNCTIONING. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL GAUGE, THE SPEEDOMETER, AND THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD FAILED TO FUNCTION. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

ORIGINALLY MY BLIND ZONE DETECTION WAS THE ONLY THING POPPING UP ON MY DASHBOARD BUT MY CAR AND FUNCTIONS RAN FIND EXCEPT THE DETECTION FEATURE..BUT THEN CODES LIKE AIRBAG, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, FRONT CAMERA, PARKING ASSSISTANT APPEARED ALL OVER MY DASH BOARD AND THEN THE RADIO, HEATING SYSTEM, SPEEDOMETER, RPM, GAS AND HEATING GAGE ALL STOPPED WORKING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THESE SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR!! THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTS ME TO PAY 1300 THIS IS NOT FAR ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A YEAR AND HALF SMH PLEASE PUSH FOR A RECALL IT'S NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING WITH AIR BAGS NOT WORKING OR TURNING SIGNALS NOT WORK...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY #N172097060 (SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MODULE WATER INTRUSION) HOWEVER THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 80,000 MILE TIME LIMIT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE PASSENGER PRESENCE DETECTION SYSTEM WOULD FAIL AND THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

BLIND SPOT WARNING NOT WORKING, GM NOT WILLING TO REPLACE MODULES ON CAR WITH ONES THAT HAVE SINCE BEEN UPDATED. NEW MODULES ARE SEALED AND RESIST WATER INTRUSION, OLD MODULES DO NOT.

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.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM SENSORS ARE LOCATED ON THE INSIDE OF THE REAR BUMPER PANEL ON EITHER SIDE, THEY DETECT CARS IN THE BLIND SPOT. THE SENSORS ARE LOCATED IN A POOR LOCATION TO BEGIN WITH, THEY ARE IN DIRECT LINE OF FIRE WITH ROAD AND TIRE DEBRIS, SALT WATER, GRAVEL, SAND, SNOW, MUD, ETC. OVER TIME, THE NATURAL ELEMENTS SEEP INTO THE CRACKS OF THESE SENSORS AND/OR THEIR WIRING HARNESSES AT THE CONNECTIONS, AND CAUSE MALFUNCTIONING OF THIS SYSTEM. MINIMALLY, THE PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE SENSORS AND/OR HARNESSES FOR BRAND NEW ONES. AT THE WORST, THESE MALFUNCTIONED SENSORS CAUSE OTHER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS AND SUBSEQUENTLY INCREASED ROAD HAZARDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS BY THE WAY THAT IT CAN LEAD TO THE DRIVER INFO CENTER GOING BLACK, THE RADIO CUTTING OUT, ALL THE INTERIOR AND GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE ON THE ROAD. IF LEFT UNRESOLVED BECAUSE MANY CUSTOMERS...

BLIND SPOT SAFETY LIGHT MODULE WENT BAD DUE TO POOR DESIGN, GENERAL MOTORS HAS A WARRANTY UP TO 80,000 MILES, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE'S NO CODE READING, BUT FAILED TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE MODULE ITSELF, AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO STARTING FIRES, A GM ENGINEER MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE POOR WORDING IN THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY SERVICE, I'M AFRAID THE CAR MAY CATCH FIRE BECAUSE OF THEIR FAILURE TO ACTUALLY CHECK THE MODULE ITSELF, I BELIEVE BOTH BLIND SPOT LIGHT MODULES SHOULD BE REPLACED AS GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

SIDE DETENTION SENSOR ALERT CAME ON A DAY OR TWO AGO. TODAY WHILE DRIVING NUMEROUS DASH LIGHTS AND ALARMS CAME ON. I HAD NO GAUGES AND COULD NOT SIGNAL WHILE DRIVING. HAD MY DAUGHTER IN CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD THE SENSORS REPLACED A YEAR AGO WHICH COST ME OVER $1,000.

THE BLINDSPOT DETECTION SYSTEM MODULE FAILED AND IT MESSED UP ALL MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR THW SPEEDOMETER RPM AND FUEL AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES BOTTOMED OUT TO 0. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON . THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DOING 79 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. ON STAR THOUGHT I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT.

SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM: THIS IS THE SECOND REPLACEMENT OF "SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" SENSORS, AT 98000 MILES. FIRST WAS EIGHT MONTHS AGO. MECHANIC REPORTED THIS IS "A HUGE PROBLEM." GM IS UNABLE TO KEEP THE SENSORS IN STOCK IT MAYBE A MONTH OR MORE TO GET IT FIXED. AFFECTS SAFETY AND SECURITY OF PASSENGERS.

WHAT MY INFORMATION CENTER SAID IS SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM. CHEVROLET WANTS ANT WHERE FROM $400.00 TO 1200.00 TO REPLACE THIS MODULE. IT HAS SCREWED UP MY EVERYTHING SO IT SEEMS. I'M SO AFRAID THAT THE GAS WILL STICK OR THE BRAKE WON'T WORK. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MODULE CONTROLLING SO MANY THINGS IN MY VEHICLE IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. BY THE WAY I WAS DRIVING ON MY SIDE STREET ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS OR SO.

SIDE DETECTION NOT WORKING, GETTING ERRORS

SIDE DETECTION MODULE DEFECTIVE DUE TO BEING EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS (RAIN MUD SNOW SALT) CAUSE ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONAL ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING AIR BAG REVERE BACKUP ASSIST ENTIRE GAUGE MALFUNCTION.. GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT RECALL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ON CAR GURUS WEBSITE

WHEN THE REAR DETECTION SYSTEM CONTROLLER GET CONTROLLER IT CAN TAKE DOWN THE VEHICLE COMMUNICATION BUSS WHICH TAKES OUT ALL FUNCTIONALITY OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ALL GAUGES QUIT WORKING AS WELL AS TURN SIGNALS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED.

MY WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED! MY SIDE DETECTORS STOPPED WORKING THE FORWARD COLLISION FAILED ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I HAD SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR BUMPER. THEN I WAS GETTING ALL KINDS OF MESSAGES AIRBASE, ABS, TRACTION I LOST ALL THE GAUGES NO SPEEDOMETER NOTHING THE HEAT WOULD COME ON AND STUFF OFF ALL BY IT SELF. BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT TO MY SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT IT DIED I COULD GET IT STARTED ANYMORE!! VERY UNSAFE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD! AND VERY FRUSTRATED WITH GUM BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE OF FAILING MODULES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF, AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED AND FLAMES APPEARED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND FAULKNER CHEVROLET (298 STOKE PARK RD, BETHLEHEM, PA) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM FAILED ON MY VEHICLE AT ONLY 62,000 MILES. THE MODULES AND HARNESS ARE MOUNTED UNDER THE REAR BUMPER COVER BEHIND THE WHEELS WHERE MOISTURE DIRT AND ROAD SALT ENTER CAUSING CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FIRE. THE PASSENGER SIDE NOTIFICATION LIGHT STAYED ON FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF. IT IS NOT FUSED IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE ONLY UNDER THE HOOD. THESE SAFETY COMPONENTS SHOULD BE MOUNTED IN THE TRUNK PER INDUSTRY STANDARD OR SEALED WITH PROPER WEATHER RESISTANT GASKETS AT THE VERY LEAST. THE HARNESS WAS CORRODED SO BADLY IT WAS JUMPING THE CONNECTION AND BLOWING FUSES. THE MODULES WERE VISIBLY SWOLLEN FROM HAVING MOISTURE INSIDE AND RUST FORMING. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THERE SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL IF NOT A SPECIAL COVERAGE ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS VERY SERIOUS AND VERY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO A FAULTY GASKET THAT ALLOWED WATER TO LEAK INTO THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE BATTERY POWER WOULD DRAIN ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE ODOR OF MOLD AND MILDEW WERE PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. GRAY-DANIAL CHEVROLET (6060 I-55, JACKSON, MS) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800.

SIDE DETECTION MODULES FAILED CAUSING ALL GAUGES AND DASH ITEMS TO QUIT WORKING WENT OUT AT 65 MILES PER HOUR PARTS WEEKS OUT

MY CAR WAS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE SIDE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM WHEN MY CAR'S DASH STOPPED WORKING WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH.. I HAD SEVERAL SERVICE SYSTEM ERRORS` `FOR `SIDE BLIND SPOT, FRONT CAMERA, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR ETC BUT MOST CONCERNING IS THAT THE DIRECTIONAL WOULD NOT FUNCTION, THE GAS, SPEEDOMETER, AND THE TACHOMETER DID NOT FUNCTION. IT WAS DUSK AND IT APPEARED THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. I STOPPED SAFELY AND TURNED OFF MY CAR AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE PUSH BUTTON START WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR BY PUTTING THE KEY FOB IN THE FACTORY POCKET DESIGNED TO START THE CAR WITH A KEY FOB WITH A LOW BATTERY. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE SIDE BLIND SPOT MODULES WERE BAD. THEY...

THE REAR SIDE DETECTION MODULES CORRODED DUE TO BAD PLACEMENT ON THE VEHICLE. THE MODULE IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE REAR WHEEL WITHOUT ANY SHIELDING, SO WHEN THE SNOW AND SALT FROM THE WINTER CAME OFF THE TIRE, IT WOULD LAND DIRECTLY ON THE READ SIDE DETECTION MODULE CAUSING CORROSION. THERE ARE A TON OF FORUMS ONLINE SUCH AS HERE HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T54868_DS885696. CHEVY HAD THIS PROBLEM IN 2014.5-2016 MODEL BUT WON'T COVER IT EVEN THOUGH THEY CHANGED THE MODULES IN NEWER MODELS TO PROTECT AGAINST THE ELEMENTS BETTER. THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO FIX IT FOR OLDER MODELS.

SIDE DETECTION MODULE WENT OUT ON BOTH SIDE AFTER IT WAS IMPACTED BY RAIN. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS A NEW MODULE HOWEVER I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 1300.00 FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS SEALED UP BETTER AND LESS LIKELY TO RECEIVE WATER DAMAGE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IF NOT FIXED THAT MY CAR WONT START AND I WOULD HAVE OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY THEIR MODULE HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. BAD PART CHEVROLET THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP.

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT STOPPED WORKING DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE MODULES. THIS CAUSED MY GAS GAUGE AND ODOMETER TO STOP WORKING. IN ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS CAME ON AND SAID THEY NEEDED TO BE SERVICED: AIR BAGS, TIRES,THEFT SYSTEM, CHECK ENGINE. AFTER ALL OF THIS, MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I WAS LEFT STRANDED. THE FAULTY MODULES SCRAMBLED MY COMPUTER IN MY CAR. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS AROUND $1400 TO FIX, PLUS THE MODULES WILL FAIL AGAIN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE MODULES ARE A POOR DESIGN FROM GM. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. CURRENTLY, GM HASN'T BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THE DESIGN OF THESE MODULES. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THE FAULTY MODULES. WE PAID AND STILL PAY A HEFTY PRICE FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE...

EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD BECAME ILLUMINATED. LOST POWER STEERING, CAR BECAME SLUGGISH, LACKED SPEED, AND POWER. BRAKING CONTROL WAS LIMITED. VEHICLE WAS DRIVE ABLE ONLY IN LIMP MODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITRAK WAS FAULTY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY SHIFT INTO DRIVE. ALSO, THE RADIO AND HEAT FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT RESET ITSELF; HOWEVER, THE STABILITRAK INDICATOR WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. ALL THE OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

SIDE TRAFFIC DETECTION SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE. CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 15 DAYS AS OF THIS WRITING . WE ARE BEING TOLD THE CONTROL MODULES TO REPAIR THE DEFECT IS NOT AVAILABLE. WE ARE ELDERLY AND CANNOT BE WITHOUT THE USE OF A CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED "SERVICE VEHICLE, AIR BAGS, FRONT LAMP DETECTION". THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCGRATH CHEVROLET OF DUBUQUE (3255 UNIVERSITY AVE, DUBUQUE, IA 52003) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN DISPLAYING THE SAME MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,755.

THE LANE DEPARTURE MODULES GET WET AND ARE LOCATED BEHIND THE REAR TIRE. AS A RESULT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOW FAILING I GET MESSAGES THAT MY AIRBAG HAS DEPLOYED. THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. THE HEAT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT DOES NOT WORK. NOW I HAVE UNEXPLAINED WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF MY TRUNK WITH NO SINGS HOW IT GOT THERE. I HONESTY DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN IT NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT AND IT MY GAUGES TELL ME WRONG INFORMATION. IE NO GAS

THE SIDE DETECTION MODULES BEHIND THE REAR TIRES ARE FAILING AND CAUSING ALL ELECTRONICS TO FAIL. THIS MODULE GOES BAD AND THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, BLINDSPOT MONITORS, HVAC, AIRBAGS, HEADLIGHTS AND GAUGES ALL GO OUT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN WHEN DRIVING AND IS ERRATIC IN ITS BEHAVIOR. IT ALSO MAKES THE GAS PEDAL HESITATE AND THE CAR BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO POOR PLACEMENT.

WHILE DRIVING, SEVERAL FUNCTIONS IN THE CAR WILL TURN OFF. FUNCTIONS INCLUDE HEATING/ COOLING SYSTEM, LIGHTS (DASHBOARD LIGHTS), DOORS LOCK/ UNLOCK AND COLLISION SYSTEMS TURNS OFF. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES RANGING BACK TO 2018. I'VE TAKING MY CAR TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ALSO FOUND THE SENSOR IS ON BACK ORDER, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE THAN I THOUGHT AND SOME ONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND SEVERAL SECURITY FEATURES START TO TURN OFF IS DANGEROUS.
