Side detection system cause electrical issues with vehicle.. the vehicle speedometer stopped working rpms stopped working.. car air conditioning turned off on its own, various lights on the front ' turn on and off on their own
Side mirror blind spot alert system has failed for the third time. I had replaced it twice so far costing $400 each time. It says the system needs " maintanence"
I noticed water/dampness on two locations of my 2014 Chevrolet Impala (while it is stationary) 1. floor carpet on passenger side front seat is thoroughly wet (see attached photos), with the dampness extending to the rear seats. 2.inside the trunk in area behind the rear wheel. Took the car to the dealership and they advised I would have to pay for diagnosis as well as repair. This is a manufacturing defect that may have resulted in damage to the interior carpet, structural panels - floor (possible rust). GM customer service nor the dealership is willing to absorb the cost and expects my (consumer to pay)
The blindspot detection system module failed and it messed up all my electrical systems in the car thw speedometer RPM and fuel and temperature gauges bottomed out to 0. all the lights came on. The vehicle was in motion doing 79 mph on the interstate. On star thought I was in an accident.
Car started smoking from the bumper area and electrical system going nuts. Car was sluggish and acting weird. All gauges and instrument panel going off and on. Door locks locking and unlocking. Cruise enable then disable. Infotainment system screen glitching out. Took to dealership they said the side detection module and wiring harness is bad where it got wet. The location leaves it exposed to water from the roadway and can cause fire hazard. Very dangerous and scary driving down the road and all this happens on the highway

Blindspot detector on passenger mirror not working. Started flashing while driving with no car around on city street. Then light stop flashing and just stayed on. Got home turned car off and light stayed on. Next morning light was still on but the car was not on. On my way to work light remained on for the entire ride on the highway. Got to work light remained on when car was cut off. Leaving for work light went off and now will not come back on at all.
I live in howard beach, nyc and saw an odd thing on line involving a nypd 106 which is our local precinct there where one of their Chevrolet models there had a like mechanical malfunction and it exploded there. It was so close to that thing in 1996 with twa flight 800 there remember that? besides that, they had photos on google photos of the nypd 106 car there all exploded and parked by the curb with the cause a mechanical malfunction like remember twa flight 800 in 1996 there with the plane there the mechanical malfunction made the plane explode there. Yes, I hope this does not continue. There is a photo of it on google pictures.
Side detection system failed. Will not work on left side. Dealership said was corroded wires and modgual would need to replaced. ($1,100). Safety issue and might have a electric burning issue.
Side detection module went out on both side after it was impacted by rain. I was told by the dealership that there is a new module however I would have to pay $1300 for it because it is sealed up better and less likely to receive water damage. I was also told that if not fixed that my car wont start and I would have other electrical issues. Other people have said they their module have caught on fire. Bad part Chevrolet this needs to be recalled asap.
It has a few different problems. The first being a trunk seal that was already recalled, yet my “fixed” seal wasn’T even fixed and my trunk is still taking on water when it rains. The other problem started a week ago. My ABS light came on while driving and the traction control light and neither will go off. Today while driving my car felt like it was losing power all of a sudden and a dinger went off and the brake assist light came on as well as 2 parking break lights. Both times the lights come on I was driving. None of the lights will go off, and now it’'s dinging for a minute or more just because of the warning light.
While driving 70 mph, my side detection light remained on and stayed that way for a few days then completely stopped working. I was still under 36,000 but over 36 months. I made an appointment with the dealership but cancelled after talking with my friend who said the same thing happened to her denali and it cost her $3000 to fix it. A few months ago, I was driving around 50 mph, all the sensors started flashing on my dash-parking assist, brakes, side detection, front camera, etc. The gauges stopped working, the heater turned off as did the radio and felt like the power was way down. My blinkers weren't working either. I pulled over and turned the car off to try to reset it and it did not work. I finished my drive to work. When returning to my car, it did not replicate the same behavior as in the morning. Now, my lane departure and front crash detection is not working. I have read many complaints about this issue in the 2014 Chevy Impala. I have always been, along with my husband, a GM product owner, GM has a plant 1 mile from us and they are talking about shutting it down. If this is not something GM looks into recalling, I may make the switch to a different car company. I have not yet taken it to the dealer but since more and more things keep breaking, I will be scheduling an appointment soon and letting GM know exactly how I feel about this. After spending $35,000 on a vehicle, it should not act like this.
While driving my car on a main street moving along at approximately 50 mph the car completely shut down, electrical system and motor. The car would not recognize the fob. Therefore, it would not restart. I put the car in park to restart. Therefore, it was stuck in park and I could not move the car out of the lane of traffic. We tried to re-set the system by disconnecting the battery and tapping the brakes. This did not work. After my husband had brought me the second fob from home the car still would not recognize the fob. I walked away from the car to re-set the fob. The car still would not start. After being struck in Friday afternoon traffic for an hour I called a tow truck. My husband tried the car again and it started. I drove the car home. The very next day I took it to the dealership and they could not find any problems. Two weeks later the car began not recognizing the fob again. The dealership cannot find the problem. I do not want to see any others get hurt from this problem.
Body control module that controls side and rear collision detection is disabled due to corrosion from water damage after normal everyday use. Safety issue.
This car has been a lemon since we owned it. First the electrical system shut down (while we were driving at 70 mph), then the wheel barrings needed replacing at 60,000 miles, and now the solenoid has gone bad preventing the car from shifting.
On the morning of Monday January 29, 2018, I was driving in a school zone at 20mph and all of a sudden I hear a pop so loud that it sounded like a gun shot. I look back through the rear view mirror and the back glass is completely shattered! there were no cars behind me or beside me as there was no traffic it's highly unlikely something hit the glass. I had just dropped off my kids at school and they could have been still in the back seat when this happened and it could have been much worse. This seems to me to be a defect in the window or defroster.
