I have a 2014 Chevy Impala LTZ, owned it for 9 years. Just started with issues within the last 6months and it just seems to be getting worst everyday. While making a left turn, not even driving 5mph my power steering fails and the drivers side tires seem to lock up as if the car would be hydro planing. Once it happens the dashboard Alerts come on such as Stabilitrac, Traction Control, ABS, Service Break Assistance, Power Steering, and I lost control of the car in the middle of the road!! Brought the car to the shop they change the wheel bearings. We also changed the brakes in March of this year, we had a front and back realignment plus new tires within the last 6 months. The dealer we got it from is no longer in business, as I did buy it used. I called the Chevrolet 800 number for recalls but no luck finding anything. After searching year/make/model I found similar issues to other "2014 Chevy" within the last couple of years. This is a serious issue and it can become dangerous while driving with my family in the car. I can't afford another vehicle as this car is my reliable vehicle.

The recall said it was completed in 2014, but my parking brake will engage while I'm driving and has risked my life in multiple occasions. So I believe the recall was not done properly as my parking brake still engages while I'm driving.

The ABS and traction control light are always on. Sometimes the brakes kick back up on my foot and the brakes skip until I come to a stop.This doesn't always happen but I have to always be prepared. And there is always a squeaking sound when wheels are in motion. It was never inspected

The right turn signal bulb keeps blowing. Break lights were stuck on. I got pulled over because the blinker wasn't working and parking light wouldn't go off. The officer was nice because I had just got the car and didn't give me a ticket, just a warning. Blinker on passenger side won't work with lights on and fuses for that side keeps blowing

I was driving in a snowstorm and all of the sudden the ABS, Stabilitrak, and power steering went out. I'm frustrated that this is the 2nd electrical safety issue that I have experienced. Both of which have been reported by several drivers and still no recalls!
- Charlotte, MI, USA
Bad wiring harnesses causing brakes and antilock brakes to throw codes and fail. Abs and stable track fail and also cause car to suddenly go to low engine power mode while driving down highway. Replaced nearly every brake component plus vehicle computers and abs modules. Vehicle now throwing new codes serious at random. Main pcm computer replaced twice. Abs, brake booster, abs modular, master cylinder, 4 calipers, hoses, abs module and abs valve assembly all these components replaced twice at least. Vehicle was not a flood car.

The electronic parking brake fails to disengage entirely from the rear brake pads causing them to become welded together. This results in extreme heat, excess brake dust, poor acceleration, and caliper / brake line (air) issues.

The service power steering came in on the dash, also along with service stabiltrak and the abs light heard these are common and play together, mainly the service power steering which caused the vehicle to be become almost impossible to steer I heard there where recalls on this same situation as it is a huge safety concern. It makes it very dangerous in highway or roads as it is very hard to steer
- Boyd, WI, USA
Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Brake booster not regulating properly. This is causing the vehicle to not stop at a timely manner and a need to push brake all the way down for vehicle to eventually stop which is unsafe when driving. This has been confirmed by independent service center which has recommended to search for recall. No warnings or messages prior to issue.

When turning left the wheel locks up as it would if the car were sliding on ice. The stability track alert comes on. It becomes a problem when I'm driving in busy traffic and turning at an intersection because it'll just lock up and not let me go, stopping me in the middle of the intersection.
- Celina, OH, USA
While driving, the ABS light and stablilitrak lights came on and the steering became harder than normal. Warnings on the dash advised that there is a problem with the stabilitrak and to service the power steering.
- Athens, AL, USA
The car electrical goes haywire. All these alerts and pop up come on ABS lights. Stabillatrac. No power steering. Looked up issue it has something with a bad sensor in bumper. Very dangerous

I had noticed the epb light coming on intermittently, far more often than every 50 key cycles, and began experiencing a significant decrease in acceleration, poor braking, brake dust buildup, uneven tire wear, bogging down when the vehicle would shift and when accelerating out of a slowdown and/or turn. I would also constantly smell brake dust and tire rubber and felt my brakes would become extremely hot to the touch after short trips. I observed the outer rear brake pads through the caliper and there seemed to be decent pad left. However I took my vehicle to the dealership many times and was told every time that there was no need to replace the pads. I was never notified of any software flashes to correct any known or unknown issues, and was once told that my brakes needed to be bled and after having the dealership service them was told the issue should be corrected. I had friends and family with automotive backgrounds look at my brakes and tell me there seemed to be no visible issues. I finally decided to have a look myself one day. After hoisting the vehicle up, removing the rear tire and inspecting the caliper and pads, I realized that the epb had actually heat/rust-welded itself to the inner brake pad which was completely worn with no pad whatsoever. The epb was actually unable to retract, even though the light was off, because the metal plate on the back of the pad had been fused to the epb. I had taken it back to the dealer who refused to look at it again, and was inevitably tasked with correcting the issue myself. I have spent hundreds of dollars on new pads, rotors, caliper pins, grease, tires, etc. Because of the persisting issue. When I searched my vehicle by VIN it told me there were no recalls, but after searching by year/make/model I finally found the recall involving the epb causing drag after failing to retract. This issue continues today.

Steering, stabillitrack, and ABS affected the steering and ease of driving was disrupted and unsafe. 2nd occurence of this issue.

The car shuddered on initial start-up, turned it off waited for a minute. Restarted ran normally. The next day on start-up dic alerted to ABS, powersteering, and stabilitack in need of service, noticeable difference in steering control, wheel slippage on quick exhilaration, I tried to brake more cautiously so as not to test my braking ability. Definitely a safety issue. Should be recalled. Had the same problem a year ago spending $495. To have the opposite wheel hub and brg assembly. Hope this isn't an annual event. Love my car but hate expenses that should not occur with a car; especially under 100,000 miles. Why did this happen? there is nothing to blame it on such as hitting a pothole. The weather has been colder, there has been a reference to that as well as some say it is a wiring harness that is in a bad location, wearing exposing wires that make contact with metal. Research shows that other drivers are having the same issue and expense. How many complaints will it take before this safety issue is addressed and customers are refunded this unnecessary expense
