2014 Chevrolet Impala ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

WHENEVER I AM TRAVELING AT SPEEDS <15MPH AND TURNING LEFT FROM A STOP THE CAR HESITATES AND THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. MY ABS & SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHTS ARE ON. WHEN I RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC NO CODES ARE COMING UP, AND IT SAYS THE CAR IS FINE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION. SEVERAL OTHERS IN ONLINE FORUMS HAVE DESCRIBED THE SAME ISSUES WITH 2013-14 IMPALAS.

I HAVE A MESSAGE SAYING SERVICE SIDE DETECTION. IT HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS AND DIDN'T SEEM TO BE A BIG DEAL. IT NOW HAS CAUSED A BUNCH OF OTHER MESSAGES TO COME UP TO SERVICE. EVERYTHING ON MY DASHBOARD STOP WORKING (SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, ETC.) MY HEAT IS EFFECTED AND AT ONE POINT, MY CAR WOULDN'T START FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

THEY RECENTLY HAD A RECALL FOR THE 2014 CHEVY IMPALA FOR THE BRAKES NOT DISENGAING THE ROTORS CAUSING NOT VERY GOOD DRIVABLE CONDTIONS, BUT WHEN I CALLED AND HAVE THEM MY GIN NUMBER IT SAYS MINE DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL BUT MY CAR IS DOING THE VERY EXACT THING. AND IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING AND LIKE IT STATED CAN CAUSE YOUR WHEEL TO BURN AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPEN TO MY CAR.

I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 7 MONTHS AND JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO THE STABILITY LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS LOSING POWER. I PARKED AND LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE AND IT WAS FINE BUT THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING

STABILITYTRAK MESSAGE CAME ON. LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING.

THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WHEN MY CAR IS IN MOTION, THE STABILITRACK LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND MY CAR BEGINS TO LOSE POWER. I CANNOT DRIVE OVER 35 MILES PER HOUR TOPS, INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAYS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

TAKATARECALL- CRUNK MY CAR UP TO GO TO WORK AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE WAS ON. NO INDICATE IN GEAR SHIFT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT CAR IN GEAR IT WOULD JERK LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO RETURN BACK HOME AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED.

SERVICE STABILITY TRACK CAME ON FOUR TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE LAST TIME I WAS ENROUTE TO MY HOME FROM A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN. THIS TIME THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALER, TWO HOURS FROM MY HOME, TO HAVE THREE SERVICE CODES SHUT OFF, ONE OF WHICH WAS SERVICE STABILITY TRACK.

MY CAR HAD WARNING LIGHTS FOR STABILITRAK, PARKING BRAKE, ABS THAT CAME ON. THE CAR JERKS WHEN YOU START IT AND SHIFT GEARS. THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE LIKE NORMAL AND HAS STUGGLE REACHING HIGH SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING, SOME OF THE LIGHTS WENT OFFF AND CAUSED MORE JERKING OF THE VEHICLE.

BODY CONTROL MODULE / OBJECT DETECTION MODULE THAT CONTROLS SIDE AND REAR COLLISION DETECTION IS DISABLED DUE TO CORROSION FROM WATER DAMAGE AFTER NORMAL EVERYDAY USE. SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITRAK, ABS, AND PARKING BRAKE COMING ON AND STAYING ON. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE STABILITRAK CAME ON I WAS JUNE 2015, 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF TO GET THE STABILITRAK TO GO OFF. ON 3 OTHER SEPARATE OCCASIONS I WAS PARKED AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR INTO ANY GEAR. SOMEHOW THE PARKING BREAK HAD ENGAGED AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. ONCE I SAT STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT WAITING ON ROADSIDE SERVICE, BUT WAS RESCUED BY MY SON WHO TWEEKED WITH THE CONTROLS UNTIL CAR WAS ABLE TO SHIFT. ALSO, THE GEARSHIFT AREA DOES NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THESE ISSUES ARE HAPPENING, MAKING IT HARD TO TELL WHEN CAR IS IN REVERSE, DRIVE, OR NEUTRAL. WHEN SHIFTING THE CAR FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE WANTS TO FALL OUT AND CAR WILL NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 45 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE ARE 16 DIFFERENT CODES SHOWING, AND THAT EACH CODE MUST BE ADDRESSED IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DUE SINCE I WAS PAST THE 5,000 MILES/36 MONTHS. I WAS 608 MILES PAST. I PLEADED WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THERE WERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUES. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER 3 YEARS, AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN FULLY OPERATIONAL FOR 11 MONTHS OF THOSE 3 YEARS. THIS ISSUE IS COSTING ME MORE IN GAS, BECAUSE INSTEAD OF TAKING THE HIGHWAY TO WORK I HAVE BEEN TAKING LOCAL ROADS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO RENT VEHICLES DUE TO THESE ISSUE. I STILL HAVE ABOUT 2.5 YEARS LEFT TO PAY ON THIS VEHICLE, AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. AUTO REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVEL AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO ADDRESS THE 16 CODES UNTIL THEY FIND THE RIGHT ONE. I AM HOPING THAT A RECALL IS DONE VERY SOON SO THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO FULLY USE MY VEHICLE AGAIN.

MADE RH TURN AND CAR STALLED AND JERKED STRUGGLING TO MOVE. CAR RECOVERED BUT WAS HAVING PROBLEMS. MADE LH TURN AND SEVICE WARNING "STABILITRACK" CAME ON WITH "LOSS OF ENGINE POWER" AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK LIGHTS CAME ON. BARELY ABLE TO GET CAR MOVING. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR MOVING BUT HAD TO DRIVE WITH FLASHERS ON DUE TO THE JERKYNESS OF THE ENGINE LOOSING POWER. GOT CAR TO HOME APPROX 1.5 MILES. NOTICED GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER CAR. AND ALMOST NO POWER TRYING TO GET CAR IN THE DRIVE WAY. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAPPENED WHEN CAR WAS TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF ZERO TO 40 MPH.

MY SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON MONDAY. ON THURSDAY BRIGHT SUNNY DAY ONE BY ONE ALL SYSTEMS FAILED. NO AIR BAGS,NO BLINKERS,NO ALARMS SOUNDING, NOTHING ON DASH WORKING, EVERYTHING IS GONE EXCEPT ENG IS STILL RUNNING.I WAS DRIVING IN MILWAUKEE HWY AND CITY STREETS. I WAS 2 HOURS FROM HOME SO I DROVE TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP. WHEN THEY TRIED TO ACCESS THE COMPUTER THEY WERE LOCKED OUT. A FEW HOURS LATER THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO ACCESS THE COMPUTER AND IT TOLD THEM BOTH SIDE DETECTOR MODULES NEEDED REPLACING. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET SERVICE LIGHTS ON. WE DROVE HOME AND OUR LOCAL DEALER IS GOING TO REPLACE THE SIDE DETECTION MODULES. $600 FOR PARTS ALONE. RECEIPT IS ONLY THE OUT OF TOWN DEALER AS PARTS ARE NOT IN. RECEIPT FOR REPAIR IS NOT ATTACHED AS IT IS TO BE REPAIRED TOMMORROW. (DATE ON SCANNING IS ONE DAY OFF).... MY VIN IS NOT IN THE SIDE DETECTOR RECALLS

STABILITRAK CONTROL SYSTEM I AM CONTACTING YOU ABOUT THE SAFETY HAZARD OF THE STABILITRAK CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING ON OUR 2014 IMPALA LT CHEVROLET. ON NOVEMBER 7, 2016 I WAS DRIVING FROM MY HOME IN PERFECT WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER READ 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' AND 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED'. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER FELIX CHEVROLET TO SCHEDULE SERVICING ON THE VEHICLE. I ASSUMED THE REPAIR HAD CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THEN ON MARCH 7, 2017 IN PERFECT DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I WAS LEAVING FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER READ 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' AND 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED'. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED HOME AND CALLED GM. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO FELIX CHEVROLET. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR WAS 13907, LESS THAN 159 MILES LATER. THE DIAGNOSIS THIS TIME WAS THE NEED TO REPLACE THE ACC SENSOR AND THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. I HAVE ASKED BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND GM TO EXPLAIN WHY STABILITRAK ENGAGES SO UNEXPECTEDLY AND MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY WITH THE SUDDEN REDUCED ENGINE POWER PREVENTING YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. NO ONE CAN REASSURE ME THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL" WHEN THE CAR STARTS UP AND IS PUT INTO DRIVE, THERE'S A HARD GRINDING NOICE AROUND FRONT WHEELS. ONCE WE TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL IT STOPS AND DRIVES FINE. IF TRACTION CONTROL IS ON YOU CAN'T TURN THE CAR LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT GRINDING

THE POWER FOR THE WINDOWS ON THE DRIVER SIDE STOP WORKING (STATIONARY & MOTION) THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT HEAD LIGHT, PARKING LIGHT & BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING (STATIONARY & MOTION) DEALERSHIP (BEN MYNATT CHEVROLET CADILLAC, 281 CONCORD PARKWAY S, CONCOD, NC 28027) STATES THAT THE ELECTRICAL MODULE UNDER THE DASH NEEDS REPLACED, THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD, 65,000 MILES

WHEN MAKING RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS AT TIMES YOU WILL GET A GRINDING IN THE FRONT ALSO SOME HESITATION STABILITY LIGHT ABS LIGHT ALSO THE BRAKE ASSISTANT WARNING WILL FLASH THIS IS A SAFETY FACTOR THAT HAS BEEN BOUGHT TO CHEVY'S ATTENTION WITH NO RESULTS. SAFETY IS PRIORITY AT LEAST IT SUPPOSE TO ME, AT THE MOMENT IT IS NOT CHEVORLET.

WHILE TURNING VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, WHIRRING NOISE OCCURS COMING FROM FRONT SUSPENSION. NOTABLE POWER LOSS WHEN ACCELERATING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OCCUPANT AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURS, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT LUMINATES ON THE DASH.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT SLOW SPEED THE AUTOMOBILE FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED AND THEN A MESSAGE CAME UP IN THE DIC TELLING ME TO SERVICE THE "STABILITRAK", SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND THE ABS LAMP ILLUMINATED. AFTER HAVE THE AUTOMOBILE SAT FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR ALL OF THE ABOVE MESSAGES WERE NO LONGER VISIBLE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MAY 14, 2015 TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 4-8 TIMES NOW WITH THE INFORMATION STAYING ON IN THE DIC FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIMES.
