Consistent problems/issues with the Traction Control turning off randomly while driving the vehicle. Which causes the car to almost stall, have issues accelerating, make a grinding/scraping noise until we manually turn the traction control off. Most of the issues/sounds stop shortly after turning it off, but car still has issues accelerating and feels like it-??s going to stall.

I have a 2013 Chevrolet Impala--I have had multiple problems with; my dashboard lights up with service stablitrack, brake assist, traction control, and the ABS light comes on while driving down the road. I have taken it to numerous places, that tested it, and was told no problem was found. It makes a grinding noise when in reverse; sometimes it doesn't want to accelerate, especially when it rains. Also my passenger seat's, buckle up alarm, goes off when no one is sitting there and the front window always seems dirty, even after it's cleaned-inside and out.

The floating gas gauge doesn't properly read the gas levels, even after replacing the fuel pump system and housing. One minute my gauge says I have 120 miles worth of gas when I cut the car off. The next morning when I get in the car to leave, my gas gauge shows 109 miles then it might jump down to 99. I can never tell how much gas I have. The actuators go bad in every model, I've had a 2005, 2010 and 2013 all of which encountered problems with the actuators going bad during the summer months. When you replace one actuator, it's not long before it goes out again and you need a new one.

From a stop, when I turn left or right, the traction control/stability control actuates causing the car to significantly reduce forward movement and hear a grinding or scraping noise causing an unsafe situation in heavy traffic. Have had other motorists honking etc. On a highway.

My car has been making a grinding noise when backing up or turning left. It does it once in a while. When accelerated it doesn't go anywhere then it takes off.almost caused my daughter to have a wreck today and I'm not pleased. Took it to a few places to have it checked and it wouldn't do it. After today, I am not to happy with my 2013 Chevrolet Impala ltz. Something needs to be done about this continuing problem with these cars. Is it gonna take someone to die before Chevrolet does something about it. My daughter was turning into a busy intersection when this happened.

I bought a 2013 Chevy Impala. I have not had the car for even a year yet, and every time I turn the car on you can hear a knocking noise coming from the dashboard. Every time I turn the car on or off. I checked with a mechanic, he told me that they have to remove the whole dash board in order to fix it! I believe this should be a recall! I previously had a 2008 also Impala as well, and it did the same thing. The reason I bought this 2013 Impala is because I like Chevy's, but I didn't think this would happen again that is a shame that your company doesn't do a recall for this problem.

I have had this worked on about 1 month of purchase. I was told the cheap ball bearings in the wheels are faulty. My car makes a strange noise when I turn the steering wheel and it lunges for a split second and then engages forward. Also when I am braking down a steep incline, the brakes grab and jerk the car slightly. This has gone on since I purchased this car.
