Impala

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.

I get intermittent service stabilitrack, service brake assist, service traction control notifications where my odometer reading is as well as ABS and electronic stabilitycontrol illuminations almost immediately after shifting my vehicle into drive and turning and it is during motion. Also there is grinding and hard and difficult braking during these illuminations...

Impala

  • 53,000 miles
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!

Impala

  • 74,000 miles
While driving power steering failed, leaving a very dangerous situation. For a car with only 74,000 miles it is unacceptable that the entire power steering rack should be replaced and only a dealer can reprogram that rack. It is a cost of over $3,000 and with a prior minimal recall I smell a larger quality issue.

Impala

  • 45,000 miles
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.

I was driving on the interstate at approx 70 mph when the power steering quit working. Two warning messages came on stating that the "power steering needed to be serviced", the "stabilitrack needed to be serviced" and the ABS warning light came on. The car became difficult to steer. I had my son and a neighbor's child in the car with me. It was not a safe condition.

Feb 282018

Impala

  • 60,000 miles
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.

Impala

  • 40,000 miles
My 2014 Chevy Impala has a power steering assist problem. On one occasion while driving, the vehicle lost power steering assist and it was hard to control. When I finally managed to drive in a gas station, parked for a while, the problem went away. After less than a month, the same problem occur when I had gone to my daughter's daycare to pick her up. I parked the vehicle in the parking lot, went in the class to pick up my daughter and when I returned to the vehicle my power steering assist was gone. It has been almost a year since I parked the vehicle waiting for a recall but it has not happened. The cost of repair is so expensive for a car with only about 40,000 miles on it. I surely deserve a recall for this problem asap.
