After backing out of my driveway, the warning lights stating service stabilitrak, brake assist & traction control. Also, ABS light stays on and when initiating brakes, brake pedal vibrates and makes a vibrating noise. While I was driving to my appt, the message kept flashing over and over. Same problem 6/15/18 & had front hub & bearing assembly replaced. Ok until 8/22/18.
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.

I get intermittent service stabilitrack, service brake assist, service traction control notifications where my odometer reading is as well as ABS and electronic stabilitycontrol illuminations almost immediately after shifting my vehicle into drive and turning and it is during motion. Also there is grinding and hard and difficult braking during these illuminations...

Power steering was lost, stability light came on - was told this was due to erosion - had repaired at my cost - extended warranty would not cover as techician stated my fault although apparently this area is not visible during normal service. Now the car twice has not started at all - all electronic sensors go dead. Have taken to Chevrolet dealer and they are unable to determined what is wrong. At least every other time I turn on car, the stability light or steering light come on, as well as the park assist light. I wait for about 10 minutes or so, try again, and they may or may not go off. 2 - the rear view mirror fell off during the first month I purchased, so it was under warranty and they "re-glued) it several times - finally it was recalled, and replaced about 15 months ago, now the mirror is doing the same thing again. 3- last is the pillar trim - it peeled and I had to have replaced at my cost - this should not have occurred. I fear I have a lemon, but more importantly I am not receiving the service necessary from Chevrolet dealer - I have maintained the service on my car through the dealer, but so many unanswered concerns leaves me at risk for accident should car just stop!
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.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. While driving at low speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle hesitated to slow down and the steering wheel became difficult to steer. In addition, the ABS, power steering, and stabilitrak system indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to winegardner motor company (22675 Washington St, leonardtown, md 20650, (240) 256-3959) where they informed the contact that the vehicle was serviced in 2014 per NHTSA campaign number: 14V450000 (steering). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,495.
When I start my car my epb is stuck to my rotors and will not disengage while driving or when I apply the brake. I am in fear that my brakes will catch fire from the fiction. The recall that was on this issue, when my VIN was checked it said my car wasn't affected by this but clearly it is. The recall said the dealer needs to update the electronic parking brake software but they will not do it because my car has a salvage title. Also my car won't go over 50mph because the brakes are engaged and wont release
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.
Today is the second time in 6 months that my car has done this. 2014 Chevy Impala 62,000 miles, 4 cylinder. I was driving on the highway at 65 miles an hour and first the "service stabilitrak" warning comes up. Then the "engine power reduced" warning appears. The engine will not go above 20 mph at this point. This is very dangerous especially if you are on the highway at speeds of 65 and suddenly you have no power! I took it to my mechanic who could find nothing wrong with the car. He told me to pull over and shut the car off and restart it. I did that and the check engine light is on but I did get my engine power back. I'm terrified driving this car. Someone is going to get killed in this situation. I read all over the internet about this same problem and nothing is being done about it. This should be a recall!

While driving vehicle on interstate after work a burning smell was noticed followed by the stabilitrak, ABS and service power steering lights came on, which made the vehicle very hard to turn. Took vehicle to a Chevrolet dealership believing it was a recall due to research online, service department stated the recall was fixed so they reprogrammed it. Upon leaving the dealership, the brakes were grinding and all the lights came back on. Took back to service and it's taken 3 days for them to try and figure out what is wrong. They've now decided it needs a new steering gear. I've researched other 2014 Impala having a recall on steering gears but this vehicle is not listed" how is that" I feel it needs to be recalled and fixed since there's been previous recalls regarding the whole electrical steering system, steering modules, and steering gears. The service department is saying it is going to be $2,800 to fix.
I was driving on the interstate at approx 70 mph when the power steering quit working. Two warning messages came on stating that the "power steering needed to be serviced", the "stabilitrack needed to be serviced" and the ABS warning light came on. The car became difficult to steer. I had my son and a neighbor's child in the car with me. It was not a safe condition.
While driving, the power steering, ABS and stabiitrak all became nonfunctional and the problem has persisted for about a week following the onset. This occurred while driving in a straight line, with no turning involved.
Warning indicator lights began flashing on the dash and warning lights in the mirrors flashed randomly. GM dealer said it was a sensor that water had leaked in and corroded inside. Said it was safe to drive and would take a week to get the part. The next day it shut off after about one minute when started with the remote start. When driving on the street more indicator warnings came on: Airbag, traction control, parking brake, etc.; the A/C came on by itself; the headlights, heater, and turn signals stopped working. Stopped the car and shut it off for about an hour. After starting it with the key and running it for about 3 minutes, it shut itself off. Once started again, would only move about a foot and then stopped sharply, like the brakes had been slammed on. Did this several times. Parked it again and had it towed to the dealer. They still say it's the sensor problem and will be $1200 to fix. They did not investigate the issue further although it is clearly a safety problem.
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.
I've had an issue with my 2014 Chevy Impala ltz getting locked up when turning the steering wheel. This started a few months ago, I took it to the dealership but they were unable to recreate the problem. The first incident occured 09/2017, I was driving on the highway going 60 mph, upon switching lanes it felt like the steering wheel jammed and locked for a second and the electrical power went out on the radio and dash. The alerts then said "power steering drive with care' & "front camera' or something to that effect. This has happened various times since on city streets, another message I've seen has said something about stabilitrak. The most recent episode occured on 12/25/2017. I was driving on a city street and turned right and the steering wheel jammed and the radio went out and the same messages came up, I took a video this time so that the dealership can see what the issue is. I found that there is a recall on other 2014 Chevy Impala for similar issues with power steering but when searching under my VIN number there is no recall on my car but I feel as though this is a mistake and my car should be recalled for this issue. This is a big safety issue and a big concern to me as I have two small children and almost crashed while on the freeway due to this issue. Luckily the other times this has occured I was on city streets not driving at a high speed but regardless it is still a safety hazard.
