Today was cold and snowing and I started up my car and the heaters and defrosts. I was in my car parked completely stationary when the rear window made a loud sound I looked back and it appeared broken. I stepped out of the vehicle and shut my door and the glass fell. Nothing hit it! I looked up and around nothing in sight, it basically exploded from the defrost button and the cold! I put a tarp on the what was a rear window, because of the snow and my leather interior as well as my touchscreen media center!
While opening the sunroof the sunshade dislodged from slider causing the copper metal retractable piece to snap loudly and hit me in the head aside from scaring me near death as I was driving down the highway. The sunshade now sags blocking the visibility of the rearview mirror as well the sunroof will not work as the sunshade can't open.
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 becomes a bigger issue can you please fix my issue and make exceptions to this recall mess.
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.
After starting car by remote, I attempted to drive, getting about 10 feet when I heard a loud explosion inside my car along with a bright flash. Stopping my car I looked around inside and out and saw nothing unusual. Getting out of vehicle, I examined my rear window and found it to be completely shattered.this occurred while attempting to pull out of my parking lot in my condominium complex. My theory is that it was a faulty rear window defogger.

Napa hybrid wiper blade lock does not stay closed and allows wiper blade to slip in the wiper arm hook. It could come off. Napa associate knew of this problem and offered to replace the blade if I would by a more expensive blade. I am still using the blade and trying to figure out how to make a homemade fix before winter. These blades should not be sold because the blade retainer lock is poorly engineered.

The rearview mirror adhesive on my 2014 Chevrolet Impala has failed, resulting in a dangling rearview mirror which affects my safety in having visibility while operating the vehicle. General Motors and/or Chevrolet was neglectful in ensuring this piece of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala was engineered correctly so that operators can have rearview mirror stability for the duration of ownership. Upon contacting General Motors, their only suggestion was for the owner to bear the cost of purchasing an entirely new windshield and adhesive. This is a defect of this car and should not be left to the owner's responsibility. General Motors needs to correct this issue for the safety of people who purchase this car!
