The brake light in the window flashes on and off all the time and even when car is parked and shut off it flashes and when it is in motion. The cruise control will not work and device stability traction control warning is on and says it needs to be serviced. Vehicle only has 28000 miles on it.
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
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.
While driving on city streets and the highway, the stablitrax lights come on then service indicators displays: Service stablitrax, front camera, and power steering. The car slows down significantly and the power steering then locks up until you dismiss all of the codes. Then you can hear a clicking that sounds like the car is trying to restart. It happens sporadically. I took it to a shop and he stated to check for recalls because there have been quite a few Impala being brought in for the same reason. I contacted Chevy and they stated that there are no known recalls for my make and model.

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.
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.
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.
Stabilitrack has been messing up since I purchased this vehicle in October 2018. My car is scary to drive. Sometimes its not clear what gear I'm in. The car will not go over 5 miles per hour when the stabilitrack is messing up. The backup camera does not work when the stabilitrack light is on and sometimes it will not go in reverse. I have to wait and keep turning the car off then wait then try to start it. Stabilitrack needs a recall. I could not back out of my parking spot this morning because of the stabilitrack. It feels like the whole motor moved when I tried to reverse. There were no lights on the panel to know what gear I was in but it wad clear it skipped the reverse. When it finaly let me back up after turning the car on and off several times I could only eccelerate 3 miles per hour.
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.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. While driving 60 mph, the stabilitrak, traction control, parking brake, and check engine warning indicators lluminated. Afterwards, the vehicle decelerated on its own. Also, when depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate past 40 mph. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.
The cruise control button sticks, when being pushed it clicks hard to get to work. The most important started a couple of weeks ago with the steering wheel on moving and pushing the gas makes a clunky and grinding sound and feel, the vehicle does not go anywhere then, the stability light comes on. The car starts moving, and the wheel frees up and the light goes out. This is every time I'm turning left after from a stopped position.
Wheel bearings had to be replaced housing also on 6 different occasions. Stabiltrak issues on 4 occassions sway bar links tie rod. Shocks struts... biggest issue is wheel bearings most recently lasted 2 weeks before needed warranty work again for the 6th time. Cruise control sticks seat belt reciptical sticks wont stay locked in sometimes hesitates when shifting or getting getting up to speed this while vehicle in motion driving various speeds. Locking mechanism to lock vehicle doesnt work only unlock function most work preformed over past 2 -3 years at pepboys. Some other repair shop. Been issue ongoing last 2-3 years... unresolved
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.
Takata recall. The power steering light signal came on while starting the car. The sterring wheel waa stiff. The car acted as if it didnt want to start when it on my radio station was on some random station as if the battery was messed with. While driving and in park the passenger airbag light goes off as if noone is in the passenger seat when clearly someone is sitting buckeled in. The power steering happend today and the airbag light has happened occasionally in the past couple months.
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 placed behind the rear wheels and collect water, dust, dirt, and debris causing failure. GM should redesign this housing to better protect the modules in the future
When driving, loss of power steering, ABS, stabilitrack. This is a huge safety problem. This issue does not matter on road conditions. It happens whenever. The ring on the back of the wheel bearing gets weather elements behind it (mostly talking about water in the winter then freezes). This cause the ring to break. Once this ring is broke. I am assuming the ABS cant keep track of the vehicle's motion. It then throws the codes. To tell do a visible inspection looking for the ring to be compromised. Don't worry your wheel bearing might not be bad. You just have to go to Chevy and spend 190$ on a new wheel bearing.
A few problems. Wheel bearing senors go bad effecting power steering and stability control. Replaced 3 wheel bearing on different wheels in past 12 months. Also 20" rims with low pro tires are a problem. Had 2 plow outs in past 6 months when hitting pot holes and damaged 3 rims. Very costly to buy rims at $650 a piece and tires at $230 each. A safety problem not knowing if you will have a tire plow out because of a rough road or pot hole in the road. I have been driving 54 years and never had a problem like this before. Car was in motion with wheel bearing problem and tire and rim problem. At different times I was driving on city streets and highway. This problem happen at different times but most recent 5/5/19
