  • 48,000 miles
Takata recall upon making a left turn, the ABS light flashes on and off, the engine grinds, and the car hesitates in the middle of the turn. On occasion the dashboard will indicate a stabilitrak warning. The pavement is dry and there no sand present. It happens most frequently when making a left turn after a complete stop. There are multiple forums by other Impala owners with the exact issue.

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.

Right front head light low beam wire harness burns completely up. I also found the same situation on 3 other 2014 Impala limited while looking for a replacement harness in two different salvage yards. I think this is significant.

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!

While in motion, 70 mph with cruise and A/C on, all dash indicators shut off. Cruise shut off as well as A/C. within a few seconds everything came back on...like I restarted the car. It did that several times in a row and each time every conceivable malfunction indicator illuminated on the dash (cluster panel). All happening while traveling down the highway at 70 mph. When the dash finally stopped this cycling, it left the car without any indicators (speed, tach, fuel, etc)...they were all on zero. Fortunately, my garmin gps told me my speed. Things remained that way until I stopped and shut off the car for about an hour. After restarting things were normal, except that my drivers side mirror collision avoidance indicator remained on. That indicator remains on 24/7...even when the car is off and parked overnight. I finally had to remove the fuse to get it to shut off. I leave the fuse out all the time now. The erratic dash board trouble had happened one other time previously. The mirror anti collision indicators had been malfunctioning for about three months prior to the erratic dash board incidents.

Impala

  • 65,000 miles
Driving to work and all the emergency lights on my dashboard came on for no reason. The speedometer, tachometer, gas gauge, temperature gauge, radio and heater/ac controls and turn signals quit working. Additional warning lights on dashboard we're stabiltrac, ABS, air bag, tire monitor and brake light. Previous to this we had problems with the blind spot monitor system not functioning. The car has been at the dealership now for about 5 weeks with no answer. They currently have 3 other Impala with the same problem. We live in a town of under 10,000 people so what are the odds that we are the only ones. Sorry I do not have access to my VIN number at this time.

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.

Electrical failures. I experienced a failure in my stabilitrak, power steering and ABS system on my 2014 Chevy Impala 2lt. This caused my vehicle to lose power steering, and ABS brake control, which while driving on a rainy surface (in MA today 3/2 the weather was insane) was not reassuring. I have read numerous reports of other people experiencing this issue as well. Chevy seems to have are recall open for power steering, but my VIN supposedly is not impacted despite me having a power steering failure. Many, many electrical issues with this car have been reported, and yet Chevy does nothing to correct this clear safety concern. Thankfully the power steering system only partially reduced itself, and didn't completely fail or else who knows what would have happened. Very dangerous and disappointing that nothing is being done to protect people.

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.

Impala

  • 75,000 miles
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.

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.
