For approximately 2 months, my 2016 Impala LTZ, would display a message on the small screen in front of the driver in the dash, stating for the driver to, "press ignition button again to turn vehicle off." The worst part about it was this would happen very randomly whether I would be driving in city traffic, or be sitting in a parking lot at a local store. I took it to my local Chevrolet dealership. Five different times, because they were not able to get the occurrence to duplicate for them. They replaced the ignition, as well as other suspected parts with no resolution. Resolution. Ended up costing me over $1,200. That was the first time I took it in for this issue. The other four times didn't cost me anything because they hadn't fixed the issue. Come to find out it was a wire on the body control module that had some of the insulation sheathing removed, which then in turn caused the wire to ground out on the car's frame. Just thought I would put this out there in case anybody else goes through it because it wasn't real inconvenience.

On Fb 08 2022, at app 5:30 in the evening my 2016 Impala had a non-driver directed surge of speed. As I was slowing down to enter a driveway, the vehicle surged forward powerfully. I was able to press the brakes forcefully engaging the antilock mechanism. The vehicle shook as I continued to apply breaking force. It came to stop barely missing another vehicle parked in the driveway. I have no explanation for this dangerous episode. I had not used any type of automatic speed control. The car is serviced by authorized dealership: Hampton Chevrolet in Hampton VA. I was in the car with two of my grandaughters when the incident occurred. I was able to drive the car back without any problem, but I'm scared to drive it.

I bought the car brand new, and now it has just over 24,400 miles on it and I have already had to replace the fuel pump and fuel rails on the car 4 times. Last time was just driving straight down the highway and up and died completely, car would then turn over but not fire, so was stranded along side the highway waiting for a tow truck to come out. I had it replaced the first time at 9991 miles on 12-14-17, then again at 20798 miles on 11-20-19, then 21074 on 2-15-20, then at 24111 on 9-9-20. Yes I know it is under warrantee at this time, but getting really annoying not being able to trust that new of a vehicle to go any distance and not knowing if will leave sit stranded along side the road waiting for a tow again or not. I have emailed the dealership and the are emailing me a copy of all the paperwork, just haven't received it from them yet to attach it, but the have it all at schwieters Chevrolet of willmar.

My car has been giving me problems ever since I begun using E85 gas. Check engine light constantly comes on and off. Mechanics from the dealer told me I should stop using E85. Makes no sense. Chevy should stop false advertising. This is a common issue with Chevy. Why make a car for E85 if it wont work properly if use it. Dashboard constantly lighting up like cristmas. Says reduce engine speed. Service stabilitrak, service traction control. This car has gave me more problems than any car I owned. This should be recalled.
