Stabiltrak ABS traction control warning lights all come on vehicle shudders and power is reduced. Researched and found 100's of reports of the same issue with the Impala and similar complaints in the light truck and SUV models. Fix is relatively inexpensive if your mechanically / electrically inclined as involves splicing in a new wire harness for the ABS sensor. Said harness is about $20 it shorts out due to insufficient gauge of wire used on original factory install. Replace harness has much sturdier gauge from what my research says. Repair shop quoted $700 to repair glad I told them to put it back together. They have a fleet of Impala as loaners so they know they are gouging people when they say replace wheel hub assembly ABS sensor and wiring harness when they know it's the ABS sensor period. Chevy needs to do a recall. Issue happens when car is in motion after turning or going over a bump wiring that has been wore thru due to placement of wiring in a high friction area, wire wears through coating exposes wiring that shorts out and sends codes to computer concerning ABS stabiltrak and traction assist causes vehicle to behave erratically others have reported caused vehicle to stall and not restart until problem corrected. I'm sure they are gouged for a thousand $ or more. Wet road conditions, extreme heat or cold, left turn while backing, jarring bumps, all trigger the dash to light up like christmas tree dinging alarm goes off steering shudders power is reduced. It's a huge distraction and safety concern for so many to be experiencing GM should stand up and take care of the problem.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the service electronic stabili-trac warning light flashed on the instrument panel and the vehicle jerked and shuddered with the accelerator pedal depressed. The failure also recurred while the vehicle was being reversed. Additionally, the vehicle vibrated and shuddered at speeds exceeding 55 mph. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,000.
I've had my 2013 lt Impala for 39 months I am currently financing this vehicle however the actuators I keep repeating and they keep going out constantly and the repairs are very expensive I've replaced these multiple times and after a month it does the problem again which ended up draining my battery each time. I have replaced my battery for a brand new one and everything was fine I got the problem of all 3 actuator fixed and here we are now and my vehicle is dead the battery was drained because the actuators keep going out and the ticking noise never stops and it goes even when I'm not present in the car and random times throughout the night without the key in the ignition
It keeps saying on the odometer electric stability control or track and lower the power. My car was on motion on a city street with cars all around us. I've read that several people were having trouble with the same thing. Why don't they recall

I have a 2013 Chevrolet Impala--I have had multiple problems with; my dashboard lights up with service stablitrack, brake assist, traction control, and the ABS light comes on while driving down the road. I have taken it to numerous places, that tested it, and was told no problem was found. It makes a grinding noise when in reverse; sometimes it doesn't want to accelerate, especially when it rains. Also my passenger seat's, buckle up alarm, goes off when no one is sitting there and the front window always seems dirty, even after it's cleaned-inside and out.
There is a "known" issue with this vehicle, especially when turning left. The car will decelerate and traffic is a safety issue. I found the cause via google and needs to get addressed. The car will always display driver feedback on the dashboard. It simulates when driving through an icy patch. The car will not excel but rather decelerate. This happened to me just last week turning into payton manning children's hospital.
While on the freeway the service stability traction light came on and I begin to loose power I tried pushing the off button after a few miles it went back to normal and the next day it happened again so I pulled to the side of the road and turned the car off hoping to reset it but the car would not start back up. I've had my starter checked, my battery, my alternator all those came out fine but the car won't start and the mechanics are saying they haven't seen anything like this before that the traction system will keep the car from starting. Also prior to this I would hear a throotling sound as well to me it sounded like a tire was loose so K even had that checked but I believe it's connected to this traction light that came own before the car was turned off.
The service stabilitrak/ABS/brake control lights turn on and off incessantly regardless of whether I'm moving, turning, breaking, etc. It's seemingly completely random. Every ime they do, the car dings, making the ride unbearable ("ding, ding, ding...ding, ding, ding" ad naseum). This happened before and I had the vehicle serviced under warranty, a little over 1.5 years ago. It's now happening again. Countless reports on forums indicate that it's a very common issue with the wiring harness going to the hub assembly. GM should recall this. It's distracting, unsafe, and seemingly unfixable in the long term. This will be the second time I've fixed this in less than 50,000 miles driven.
Service ABS/stabilitrack is displaying often. Grinding noise, decreased power and car will nearly stop on you from time to time, particularly when turning. Taken to dealership, more than once, they get no codes on diagnostic. I believe this is a wiring issue. However, this defect is found in many years of the same make of vehicle. At times when turning, the stopping of the vehicle could harm or kill me or my family. There is bound to be lawsuits if this is not recalled. A search online produces hundreds with the same issue.
My reduce engine power light, service stabilitrak light and ABS light is on also check engine light.car will not go ove 30 to 40 mph. The car will reduce speed on the highway. And streets. I live in Illinois. I've done tried everything. The car was in the shop for over a month cost me $1500 to fix every issues the mechanic thought was wrong and the car still have the same issues. I have even just recently brought a new gas cap because that light kept saying tighten. This can be really stressful. I dont think I will ever buy another Chevy car again. As I research my issue just by typing in the problems without giving the make and model of car. I see all these problems are only with Chevy vechiles. What do I do?
While driving I hit the brakes. Then the stability light vame on. Along with brake assist and traction light. After this the car does not wanna reverse makes a horrible grinding noise. There is always something wrong with this car
Stable control and ABS light comes in when I star on wet payment I hear notice and slight vibration, but light goes off and on at various times, noy log enough for dealer to check it out
Service stabilitrack warning indicator lights flash and beep while all guages go to zero and back while door locks are also engaging open and closed at all speeds. Has been almost on daily basis for the last few months. Before 6 months ago would only happen occasionally.vehicle will lose acceleration for a few seconds.. this will happen several times while driving consecutive almost 10-20 times in a row. Traction control and ABS, brake assist will also have warning lights go off. Have had my car in 2 diffrent shops and spent almost $2000 and still no fix.. Chevy needs to do a better job explaining what service stabilitrack consist of. Mechanics have no clear idea what to fix. Is there a recall on this system. Any help would be much appreciated. Chevy has no answers.
When braking or turning a grinding sound similar to bad brakes (front brakes were redone less than 1 year ago) and the service stabilitrack, ABS lights come on and periodically shut off. I've shut off traction control but it still engages when turning left occasionally causing reduced acceleration and danger to myself when crossing traffic. Vehicle at 95K miles but this happened before at around 50K miles and was repaired by dealer and partially covered by bumper to bumper warranty.
I purchased my vehicle on March 23 2019.I have made several repairs to car but the problem persists. If I'm at a stop and I proceed to drive and make a left my car will make a grinding noise and the traction control light will flash it makes it dangerous to join traffic safely. I looked online and several people have the same exact issue with their vehicles. Service traction control. Service stabilitrak service brake assist will go on when I try to make a U turn.. ive replaced left driver side wheel hub with ABS sensor replaced TPMS and had alignment done. I felt the tea admission is being affected by this issue. So I had it serviced as well. I feel Chevy should do a recall immediately.
Service stability track light turns on and off. Car will lose some speed while driving for a second, like the ABS kicks on when it isn't supposed to. Had happened while driving 50 mph on the highway, car will lose some speed while the light indicating ABS has activated for some reason.
