Since we bought this Chevy Impala at Gene Pankey Motor in Tacoma Washington We have had nothing but issues with the traction control system lights coming on. When we would return to the dealer to have it worked on they would clear the computer which would clear the problem for a few days but it always comes back. We have had our Impala in a lot of times, at least 15x. we never thought to keep track of how many times we have had to have this worked on. its been to 4 different shops for the same thing. We Love this Car. it is a great car. lots of room and has gitty up, and well, its hot and its paid for. We really want our car fixed we are tired of taking it in to be fixed and nothing gets done. They have replaced the catalytic converter at the chevy dealer saying that was bad and replaced the front right wheel sensor twice at the Amco transmission shop in Fircrest. its been to bitterlings in tacoma as well as the dealer we bought it from, Gene Pankey. and we still have the same issues. The Traction Control light keeps coming on and the ABS light now comes on, It happens intermittently. I feel it has something to do with the brakes or the transmission! The Brakes go spongy when the Traction control light comes on we lose our BRAKES!!!! I am still under warranty til 100.000 miles and i'm only at 80.000 but I just don't have time to keep taking this thing to the dealer. I want my Ride fixed and I want it fixed now. Cant we start a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!!!!!

The Traction turns off at first and you think nothing of it. The light eventually turns off as you drive then, it escalates to everytime you drive where you are braking, either fast or slow, and the brakes are spongy and hesitant. Then the ding chimes and the ABS light is activated as well as the traction OFF. I got a new EBSM Electronic Braking System Module, Changed rotors(disc brakes) and changed to Ceramic Pads, Got a tune up and new tires. Also, I brake earlier and softer so as to not overheat them and I still have the problem. If you know a solution I sure would like to learn about it.

I started having problems when my traction light kept coming on after stopping, it only came on for a quick second, no reason for the light to come on. Then traction system light started showing up as service traction system and kicking my traction off. Then came the hesitation in my brake pedal which started making my ABS light coming on. First I got new tires because I thought the tires were the problem with the traction light, I was close to getting new ones anyways. No that didn't fix the problem, stopped into the dealership now the problem is that the traction light doesn't stay on and with no light they can't help me because there is no light and it doesn't do it all the time. I wait till I have lights on and go into the dealership and they say I need to replace a right front speed senor and that cost me $522.00. Thought if fixed it then 2 days later I had the same problems again, take it back to the dealership with no lights on and tell them what it is doing, bring it back when you have lights on so we can read the code. Only if the lights came on when I had time to get to the dealership, I wait almost 2 weeks after driving my car with the traction acting up, the brakes hesitation and ABS light coming on I was able to take it in to the dealership left it running till they could hook up a computer to and was told to fix it it will be 1300.00 for a EBCM and short harness. Paid 1 hour of labor and took my car unfixed. My husband knowing some about cars went to the junk yard got one out of a wrecked vehicle and replaced it into my car. Well he drove it for about 2 hours thinking it was fixed and then the brakes started again. Any suggestions out there

For months now the Traction Activate light comes on and the brakes pulsate. (we replace brakes 6months ago) O.K. so in March I bring in my car when ABS light is on thinking that the brakes are bad, the traction service light comes on and trac/off light comes on. I bring it to Chevy (where I had brakes replaced) thinking it is under warranty.

O.K. they tell me I need to replace left hub and harness...$650.00 Not even a couple of weeks later the same thing happens all of the lights come on. Now they tell me the hub and harness need to be replaced o.k. I need my car, never the less not happy. 650.00 bill in my face I pay it. Then to my amazement they replaced left hub and harness (Again) I get a refund call it a day. Now the left hub and harness new. 3 Months later

lights come on again! Now they mechanic claims the Right hub is bad. I talk and talk till

I'm blue in the face, explaining that it's not getting fixed but I keep dishing out money, so I say fix it because I need my car. I don't know who to contact and to complain, but to my amazement I've come across others with the same complaint. When I was at the

Chevy dealer waiting on them to access my car, I had 5 salesmen approach me asking me if I was interested in a new car. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER CHEVY=((

I'm literally afraid to drive my car afraid I will break down. On top of replacing the transmission in Jan. 08 We have dished out over 6,000 in repairs into a vehicle less than 6yrs that we purchased new and take darn good care of it.

Same as many of you who wrote in here my 2002 /3.8L Impala has been giving me problems since 2004. Spending 4000 at the dealership gave no result until today. Every time something is done about it like changing the speed sinners (changed the 4) never solved the problem permanently.

GM wouldn't admit there terrible engineering, everybody should call GM and let them know about this problem and ask them to start a recall as soon as possible. If anybody was able to find a solution for this problem please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Ive had many problems with my Impala. Transmission, windows, traction control, headlights turn off randomly etc. I bought the car used a while ago with low miles from carmax, the car was about 16k. Since I've bought it I've dropped around 4000 in repairs. It seems there is always a new problem with this car, so much that I'm considering tripling my payments so I can get rid of as soon as possible. I always liked Impalas and for the price, miles and options I felt good about buying it. The newest problem is a traction control problem. For a while the traction control would turn on randomly when I was backing up, today however the traction control started to make the engine sputter going forward. If anybody has had this problem and could give me a estimate on what its gonna cost, please send me a comment

This problem is such a pain. Give it a little gas to go and the Traction Control kicks in as if I am on ice. Then again, go a few blocks and hit the brakes and the Antilock brakes kick in as if I am about to be in an accident. OK, I'm on dry pavement and not bearing down on the brakes to stop. I took it to the Chevy dealership to get it diagnosed. I was told the EBCM and the EBCM Valve, and the right front hub assembly would need to be replaced...$3000!! OK, we got a loan to pay for the repairs. After keeping my car for 4 days, i finally get my car back. But only 2 days later, its doing the same thing. I took it back to the shop. They thought the speed sensor was bad on the front hub assembly, so they changed it. WRONG, problem is still there. So I took it to another Chevy Dealership to get it diagnosed. I told them what has been changed out on it. They kept my car all day on the diagnostic machine trying to find the problem. Needless to say, after 17000 miles I still have the problem. I have gotten in the habit to press the "Trac Off" button to disengage the Traction Control. It helps with the chattering when accelerating but does nothing for the ABS brakes.

I got on the GMLINK website to email my 2500 words of complaint. A real person did email be back and even called me a few times about my problem. She was a snotty *#?>) when I told her I wanted to be reimbursed for unsuccessful repairs. She emailed me to let me know the after so many miles the manufacturer would not be liable for repairs. OK. I was nice with my reply with the expectation that I was not getting my money back. BUT, I did recommend them find the solution to fix the problem and they should contact me when their engineers have figured out the fix to the problem. Only then will I take it back to try to get it fixed. I am not using my money to be their guinea pig. she has my service order on file. For those that have under 100,000 miles and have this problem, I would try to contact them to see if they can pay for the repairs. They did reimburse me for replacing the Catlitic converter, $800.00. I am giving Chevy ONE more chance to try to fix this problem, if its not fixed...Toyota here I come.
