2011 Chevrolet Impala Electrical Problems

Your car's service stability traction and check engine lights came on while driving, followed by a reduced engine power warning and low oil pressure message, then the engine shut off completely. The vehicle wouldn't restart initially, but after sitting overnight it would restart briefly before shutting down again. A diagnostic scan revealed a P0642 code (lost 5-volt reference circuit) and a camshaft sensor code, though the exact cause hasn't been identified after extensive troubleshooting. This issue is dangerous because losing engine power also affects your steering and braking. The fix will likely involve diagnosing and replacing the faulty component in the electrical reference circuit or camshaft sensor system.

Your car's stability control and brake system may be malfunctioning while driving, causing the wheels to feel like they're trying to twist in different directions and making the vehicle slow to respond when you press the gas pedal. You may also notice a grinding sensation and feel the tires shifting unexpectedly. This issue nearly caused a crash on the highway. Your vehicle has at least two open recalls related to the stabilization and brake system that should be addressed.

Your 2011 Impala is experiencing intermittent engine power loss accompanied by a check engine light, with diagnostic codes pointing to throttle sensor voltage issues (P2138) and engine oil pressure sensor problems (P0523). This problem comes and goes unpredictably — it may disappear before you can get it diagnosed at a dealer. The underlying issue appears to be an electrical malfunction affecting how your throttle opens and closes properly. Fixing this will likely require replacing the throttle position sensor and/or engine oil pressure sensor, along with electrical diagnostics to identify any wiring or connection problems.

Your car lost electrical power, and the ignition key became stuck in the accessory position and wouldn't come out. You also noticed the fuel gauge was reading incorrectly and random messages in different languages appeared on the dashboard. The dealer determined your battery had failed, which was likely causing these electrical problems. The fix will involve replacing the battery and potentially checking the electrical system for any related damage.

Your StabiliTrak and traction control warning lights keep turning on and off intermittently, but the diagnostic scanner shows no error codes. Online sources suggest this could be an electrical problem related to wheel bearings, the gas pedal, or various sensors, though the exact cause isn't clear. If this issue progresses, your car might enter limp mode or shut off completely, which would disable power steering and make it difficult to safely steer to the shoulder.

Your car stalled without warning while driving at 55 mph and wouldn't restart. The key was stuck in the ignition and couldn't be removed. The vehicle had to be towed away, and the problem wasn't diagnosed or repaired.

WHEN DRIVING THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATES, W/ACCOMPANYING MESSAGE: "SERVICE STABILTRAK" FOLLOWED BY 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL". CAR GRINDS WHEN TURNING LEFT. TODAY THE GAS PEDAL FELT LIKE IT WAS PUSHING BACK WHEN PRESSED THEN IT FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP FOR A SECOND.

I NOTICED MY REAR DEFROST HAS QUITE WORKING. I FIGURED IT WAS A FUSE SO I WASN'T TO WORRIED ABOUT IT. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SNOW RECENTLY AND FIGURED I BETTER CHECK MY FUSES. THE RELAY IS WORKING THAT IS LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD. WE TRACED TO WIRING THROUGH THE FIRE WALL AND DOWN TO WHERE IT COMES INTO THE VEHICLE (DOWN BY YOUR FEET). THERE IS A WIRING THERE AND ONCE WE DISCONNECTED IT WE NOTICED IT IS BURNT VERY BAD. WHERE THE TWO PIECES CONNECT TOGETHER IS MELTED AND IS BLACK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY BAD IF IT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR SHUTS OFF. IT COMPLETELY LOSES POWER. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I WAS GOING 60 ON A HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED THANK GOD IT WASN'T RUSH HOUR AND THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS AROUND ME. THIS HAPPENS AT 10MPH 30, 40, 50. NO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE GOING THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND LEAVES YOU WITH NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SAY THAT IS WHAT IT IS. NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO GET A NEW IGNITION PUT IN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR 18 MONTHS AND NEW PROBLEMS OCCUR CONSTANTLY WITH IT. CHEVY SHOULD BE PAYING FOR A NEW IGNITION SWITCH TO BE INSTALLED.

THERE DASHBOARD CRACKS REALLY BAD AND APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SITUATION WITH CHEVY AND GM VEHICLES. THERE'S LOTS OF STATIC AND I GET SHOCKED ALL THE TIME WHICH SHUTTING MY VEHICLE OFF OR STARTING. I HAVE HAD NO OFF MARKET WORK DONE TO MY VEHILE SO ITS ALL AS IT WAS WHEN ORIGINAL PURCHASED.

THE REAR DEFOGGER ON MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. INVESTIGATION LEAD TO A VIDEO ON THE INTERNET SHOWING A MELTED CONNECTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FUSE BOX. FOLLOWING THE STEPS IN THE VIDEO I FOUND THE EXACT SAME BURNED UP CONNECTOR UNDER THE CARPET OF MY VEHICLE. PHOTOS INCLUDED. THE CONNECTOR WAS CLEARLY NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE CURRENT THE FUSE WAS ALLOWING TO FLOW THROUGH. THIS IS A FIRE RISK AS WELL AS AN INCONVENIENCE AS NOW MY REAR DEFOGGER IS INOPERATIVE. I NEVER SMELLED THE BURNING PART BUT LOST CLEARING ABILITY ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES, THE RADIO WENT OFF AND ON, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO STALL AS IF A BAD RELAY OR FAULTY GROUND STRAP. WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND DRY.

ON 1/29/16 MY CAR DIED AND TOWED TO DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEED A TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ONLY HAD 69000 6MONTHS AGO DASH BOARD LIGHTS LIT TRACTION CONTROL, REDUCED ENGINE POWER SERVICE STABILITRACK ABS.WHEN I WOULD STEP ON THE ACCELARETOR PEDAL IT WOULD MAKE A WINDING NOISE GO TO THE FLOOR AND POP BACK UP AGAIN. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO ACCELERATION CAR HAD DIED. L PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD A FEW MINUTES LATER STARTED UP AGAIN THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES I TOLD MY SON HE COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS UNSAFE. I CALLED THE GM THEY GAVE ME A COUPON TO HAVE THE A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON IT. IN SEPT I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HE SCANNED MY CAR FOR CODES I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A RIGHT FRONT HUB PART NUMBER 13582664, A RIGHT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HARNESS, 10340314, ACCELERATOR PEDAL, 84018392, AND A VENT VALVE 2085252. I CAN'T BELIEVE A CAR DEALERS WOULD LET A PERSON LEAVE NOT INFORMING THE CUSTOMER WHAT A SAFETY ISSUE THIS IS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR A DAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT AND WAS TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY AGAIN THE CAR DIED ON ME AS I WENT TO ACCELERATE NOW THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY YARD DEAD AS A DOORNAIL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION TO THE DEALER AT LANNAN CHEVROLET IN WOBURN AND I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND THE ONLY RESPONSE I GOT WAS WHAT DO YOU WANT THERE'S A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES ON THE CAR I HAVE BEEN DOING LOTS OF RESEARCH ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND I'M APPALLED BETWEEN A 2008 AND A 2011 THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES WHERE PEOPLE CAN GET KILLED. OUT OF ALL THESE SAFETY ISSUES THERE'S NOT ONE INVESTIGATION THAT HAS BEEN OPENED IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUES. NHTSA OR GM NEEDS TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION IMMEDIATELY ON THESE CARS. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL IS NECESSARY.VIN NUMBER..(XXXXX) REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

CONSTANT CLICKING FROM BEHIND DASHBOARD THE BLENDER SOMETHING HAVING TO DO WITH AIR/HEAT RUNS ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN CAR IS NOT BEING USED. IT KILLS MY BATTERY LIFE AND SINCE THIS IS A MALFUNCTION FROM CHEVY I SHOULDN'T BE BURDENED WITH CONSTANTLY REPLACING BATTERIES. ITS LOUD AND LASTS FROM 30 SECONDS TO 3 MINUTES.

RECALL N140299, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH NO STARTS, STUCK IGNITION KEYS, I RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL, TOOK VEHICLE TO HESSERT CHEVY AT 6301 E ROOSEVELT BLVD. PHILA. PA 19149, THEY PLAYED WITH THE KEYS, SAID MY CAR WAS DONE. PUT KEY IN IGNITION NO START TRIED AGAIN IT STARTED. DEALER WANTED 149.00 TO LOOK FURTHER. HELP

DRIVING AT ABOUT 70MPH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME WITH WITH THE READING SERVICE STABILITY TRACK, ENGINE REDUCED POWER AN DISABLED STARTED, SERVICE THROTTLE INSTANTLY I LOSS ALL RMPS AN MY STEERING WHEEL ALMOST FULLY LOCKED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL ON MOTION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO JUS BARLEY VEER OFF THE ROAD INTO SAFETY. WHY WOULD A CAR COMPANY HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THIER VEHICLES. THAT WOULD LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE GOING AT ACCELERATED SPEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. ALSO, THE STABILIZER TRACK AND ENGINE SERVICE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE COASTED AS IT REGAINED SOME POWER, BUT THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY BE DRIVEN TO ITS DESTINATION. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER ACTIVE RECALL. I HAVE SOLD (TRADED-IN,) THE VEHICLE TO A LICENSED CAR DEALER. I INFORMED THE BUYER VERBALLY OF THE SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I WISH TO BE CERTAIN GM IS AWARE OF THE SALE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE GM WEBSITE RECALL SECTION HAS NO WAY FOR ME TO REGISTER THE SALE, AND THEREFORE THERE MAY BE A RISK TO THE EVENTUAL BUYER OF THE CAR, SHOULD THE SELLER FAIL TO MENTION TO THE BUYER/END-USER THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL. GM IS DERELICT IN NOT HAVING A WAY FOR RECALLED VEHICLE SELLERS TO SIMPLY REGISTER THE SALE WITH THE NEW OWNER'S INFORMATION. THE GM RECALL SITE ALSO DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY EMAILS OR ANY OTHER ONLINE CONTACT. CALLING GM VIA TELEPHONE RESULTS IN TRANSFERS, DELAYS, AND RECORDINGS.

UPON STARTING STABILITRAK NEEDS SERVICE. REDUSED ENGINE POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND CAR RAN ROUGH. REATART AND CAR RUNS BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SATYS ON.

WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING IN CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.NO BRAKES, BRAKES OR STEERING,THANKS GOD THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT

WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL? I SEE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR GM VEHICLES. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT GM JUST DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH AFTER THE SALE. I JUST BOUGHT 2011 IMPALA AND NOW THE STABALITRACK SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL DO THIS FOR NO APPARENT REASON BUT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING. USING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON LEVEL ROAD AND DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THROWS CAR OUT OF CRUISE, DECELERATING WHILE GAGES FLIP AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE. POWER LOSS AND LACK OF ACCELERATION ARE DEFINITELY SAFETY ISSUES. PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO MICHIGAN HIGHWAY AND I GET HALFWAY ACROSS HIGHWAY AND CAR STOPS. THIS HIGHWAY IS 55 MPG AND WHILE I WOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO CROSS THE LANE, CAR LOOSES ALL POWER. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET GIVES NO HELP FOR A FIX. I TURNED THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL OFF, BUT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT GO AWAY. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THERE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER GARAGE ONLY TO GET CHARGED EXORBITANT PRICES FOR "POSSIBLE" THAT DO NOT SEEM TO HELP. GM SHOULD GET THIS FIGURED OUT AND NOT LET EVERY DEALER GARAGE DO THEIR OWN GUESSING ON WHAT WILL FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT IS NOT LIMITED TO SINGLE MODEL OR YEAR BUT SPANS MANY YEARS WITH MANY MODELS. MY FIRST VEHICLE WAS A GM BUT THIS MAY BE MY LAST GM. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A DATE BELOW BUT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND GETTING STEADILY WORSE. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT BUT NOBODY CAN GIVE ME ANY USEFUL ANSWERS

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT GIVES ME SERVICE STABILITY TRAC/ POWER ENGINE DOWN MESSAGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING USUALLY THE MESSAGE WILL GO AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS

SERVICE STABILITY TRAC AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS CAME ON. CAR STARTED JERKING AND MAKING NOISES WHEN STARTING CAR.

WIRE SUPPLYING POWER TO REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS FOUND BURNT AT HARNESS CONNECTOR LOCATED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE NEAR LOWER FUSE PANEL.

ELAY SWITCH ON DRIVER SIDE FOR AIR CONDITIONER CLICKS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND BLOWS HOT AIR. THE PASSENGER SIDE CURRENTLY BLOWS COLD BUT NOW THE CLICKING HAS BEEN HAPPENING THERE ALSO. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON DEFECT IN CHEVROLET IMPALAS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. THIS HAPPENS EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME MOVING AND PARKED

ON MY WAY TO WORK, I WAS MAKING A NEXT TURN AT A LIGHT WHEN MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUT OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON TWICE IN A MATTER OF 15 SECONDS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE VERY ATTENTIVE DRIVERS, I COULD'VE BEEN RAMMED!!! THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS AFTER I GOT OFF OF WORK. MY CAR WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TRIED STARTING MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. I TRIED A SECOND TIME AND IT STARTED BUT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING REALLY HARD, LIKE I WAS ABOUT TO SPEED OFF OR SOMETHING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND STARTED IT AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER" ALL COME UP ON THE SERVICE SCREEN. AFTER READING MULTIPLE FORUMS ONLINE WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE HOME. I DROVE AT ABOUT 40 MPH ALL THE WAY HOME (MY JOB IS A 25-30 MIN COMMUTE) AND FORTUNATELY I DIDN'T GET STRANDED AND MY CAR DIDN'T TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING LIKE SOME FOLK HAVE EXPERIENCED. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. WHY ISNT THERE A RECALL YET?!

WHILE DRIVING THE TRACTION CONTROL,STABILIZER,ENGINE POWER WARNING ALL COME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. PULL OFF ROAD, WILL NOT START THEN MINUTES LATER IT STARTS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. AFTER MULTIPLE STARTS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT . I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ,YET THE NOTHING IS BEING DONE. TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THE EFFECTS OF THIS IS THE SAME AS THE IGNITION TURNING OFF. PENDING ON TRAFFIC. THIS COULD BE DEADLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALOT.

I BEGIN NOTICING ISSUES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD LIKE IT COULDN'T SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. I HAD THAT CHECKED AND NOTHING SHOWED AS AN ISSUE, SO THE MECHANIC SAID IT HAD TO BE ELECTRICAL. THIS WEEKEND I AM DRIVING IT AND AFTER 25 MINUTES IN THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AS DOES THE NOTICE THAT MY ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED, AND TO SERVICE THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT WHEN IT CAME ON AND I PULLED OFF TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT AS THAT WOULD WORK WHEN IT FAILED BEFORE TO RESET THE SYSTEM. IT DIDN'T RESET AND I HAD TO DRIVE IT WITH REDUCED POWER THE REST OF THE WAY TO MY DESTINATION. I HAD THIS FIXED A COUPLE YEARS AGO. I DID GET A NOTICE FROM GM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE ABILITY TO BE REIMBURSED OR GETTING IT FIXED IF THERE WAS A CURRENT ISSUE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR IT. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN, BUT MY MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH TO GET IT FIXED UNDER THIS REPAIR NOTICE BECAUSE THE LETTER SAYS THAT THE MILEAGE COVERAGE IS ONLY UP TO 120,000. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE ALREADY DEALT WITH IT BEFORE, WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO CONTINUALLY FAIL WHEN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH I WOULD HAVE NO ISSUE FIXING AS A PART OF MAINTAINING THE VEHICLE?! THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT GM WOULD FIX EVERY TIME IT GOES OUT BECAUSE IT IS CLEAR THE ISSUE IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE OVERALL SYSTEM AND NOT LINKED TO ANYTHING THAT THE DRIVER DOES OR DOESN'T DO TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. IN ADDITION WHAT IF IT HAS TO BE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AS IS THE CASE WITH MINE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DEVOTED GM CUSTOMER, BUT HONESTLY I AM NOT SURE I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER GM AFTER THIS ISSUE. IT IS UNSAFE AND PROVIDES ANXIETY WHEN DRIVING, BECAUSE IT MIGHT FAIL AT THE WORST TIME AND COULD NEED FIXED AGAIN EVEN IF I FIX IT THIS TIME.

REAR DEFROSTER NOT WORKING. DISCOVERED BURNED-UP CONNECTOR IN A PLUG UNDER PASSENGER FOOTWELL FUSE BOX. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING IMPALAS AND OTHER MODELS OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THIS WOULD THEREFORE APPEAR TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. OUTCOMES INCLUDE REDUCED VISIBILITY DUE TO INABILITY TO DEFROST/DEMIST REAR WINDOW AND FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATED CONNECTOR

I TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND THEN IT SHUT OFF...LIKE THE IGNITION SWITCH IS FAULTY...THEN THE STABILITRAK COMES ON..I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OVER SLOWLY SO IT WON'T HESITATE TO TURN ON OR SHIRT OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

MY SON WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS 60-70MPH, THE CAR DISPLAY WOULD SAY "REDUCED POWER" FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE STABILLATRAC", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL". SHUTTING CAR DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SHUT CAR OFF FOR 5-10 MINUTES AND WOULD B FINE FOR A WEEK, A MONTH, SIX MONTHS!!! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR OVER A YEAR!! CAR NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE TO DEALER EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, NEEDLESS TO SAY NO ONE DRIVES IT BUT ME. HAVE NOT TAKING TO DEALER BECAUSE RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE A SURE FIX!! OTHER PEOPLE ARE REPLACING THROTTLEBODY,S, GAS PEDALS, GAS CAPS, ABS SENSORS, VARIOUS WIRING HARNESSES, BATTERIES, GROUNDS, COMPUTERS WITHOUT ANY OF THEM BEING A SURE FIX. SOMEONE WILL OR MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN KILLED BY THIS MALFUNCTION AND UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT LIVE TO SAY THE CAR DID THIS!!!! I KNOW FROM READING ONLINE FORUMS AND THE SUCH THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON OCCURANCE ON MULTIPLE YEARS OF THIS MODEL!! ALL OF THIS ON TOP OF A $2 KEY SWITCH FIX THAT TOOK HOW MANY TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING WAS DONE!!!

WE OWN BOTH A 2011 AND A 2013 CHEVY IMPALA. BOTH VEHICLES GRIND AND HESITATE. THEY BOTH ACT THIS WAY WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT, BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN PUTTING IT IN DRIVE AND ANY OTHER TIME IT FEELS NECESSARY TO DO SO. EXCEPT WHILE BEING CHECKED BY THE MECHANIC. WE OWNED A 2007 IMPALA THAT DID THE SAME THING. OUR REMEDY, PUSH THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON TO THE "OFF" POSITION. STOPPED MAKING THE NOISE AND NO LONGER HESITATES AFTER PUTTING IT IN DRIVE. OF COURSE, WE HAVE TO DO THIS EACH AND EVERY TIME WE GET IN THE CAR. NO MORE BUYING CHEVY'S FOR US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT FAILED. IN ORDER FOR THE HEAT TO FUNCTION, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE IN MOTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES TO THEIR HANDS AND LEGS, BUT DID RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE IMPACT WAS NOT HARD ENOUGH FOR THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. UPDATED 6/8/15*CN UPDATED 11/6/15 *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" MESSAGE COMES ON, THEN, THE MESSAGES "SERVICE STABILITY TRAK" THEN "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED". AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS DOWN I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR STARTS UP AND EVERYTHING IS FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THEN. EVERY COUPLE MONTHS THE SENSOR LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WITH THE ABOVE MESSAGE-WITHOUT CAR SHUTTING DOWN. THE LIGHTS COME ON A LOT MORE OFTEN NOW-ALTHOUGH THE CAR DOES NOT SHUT DOWN, IT'S THE FEAR OF THE POSSIBILITY. WHEN GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. I'M BRINGING IN MY CAR TOMORROW TO GET FIXED. HOWEVER, ITS UPSETTING THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON A GMC TRUCK IN 2008 FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF YEAR OF MILES OF THE IMPALA. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO A JOB INTERVIEW ON A BARELY MOISTENED ROAD. SERVICE CONTROL THEN PROCEEDED TO POP UP ON MY DASH BOARD ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCING ENGINE POWER. MY CAR THEN SHUT OFF AND I WASN'T ABLE TO CRANK IT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. *TR

2011 CHEVROLET IMPALA CONSUMER NOT SATISFIED WITH IGNITION RECALL *CN

I RECEIVED MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE 14299, IN MID AUGUST AND I AM STILL UNABLE TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. THE SECOND LETTER WE RECEIVED IN OCTOBER SAID THE DEALERSHIP HAD PARTS BUT WHEN I CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. SO FAR, ALL THEY HAVE DONE IS PUT US ON A LIST FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THE REPAIRS WILL CONSIST OF 2 16 MM KEY RINGS, ALONG WITH AN INSERT FOR THE KEY SLOT, OR A COVER OVER THE KEY HEAD. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION, DO YOU CONSIDER THIS THE PROPER WAY FOR REPAIRS TO BE MADE ? SUPPOSEDLY THE REPAIRS ARE TO TAKE 15 MINUTES, AND MEANTIME WE ARE DRIVING A CAR WITH 38,000 MILES ON IT, THAT MAY JUST STOP IN TRAFFIC. THERE HAS TO BE MORE DONE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC, AND IT SEEMS YOUR OFFICE SHOULD GET BEHIND THESE REPAIRS. *TR

THE GM RECALL TO REPAIR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES IS A SHAM. THE PROBLEM WAS ANNOUNCED LAST WINTER; IN AUGUST 2014 I RECEIVED A LETTER TELLING ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A FURTHER LETTER WHEN THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BECAME AVAILABLE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2014, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM'S CHEVROLET DIVISION, WHICH THEY DATED "SEPTEMBER 2014" INFORMING ME THAT MY "2011 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET IMPALA WAS INVOLVED IN GM RECALL 14299. THIS LETTER IS TO INFORM YOU THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE." A CALL THIS MORNING, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2014, TO MY CHEVROLET DEALER, JOHNSON MOTORS, BRIGHTON, COLORADO, THAT SERVICES MY VEHICLE INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS, AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. "I SHOULD KEEP CALLING BACK." I ASKED IF COULD BE PUT ON A LIST TO CALL WHEN THE PART(S) BECAME AVAILABLE, AND WAS TOLD A BLUNT "NO." THEY DO NOT KEEP A LIST OF CUSTOMERS TO CALL. A CALL TO GM'S CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMED ME THAT THE 'PARTS' CONSISTED OF A DEVICE, LIKELY PLASTIC, MAYBE METAL, THAT FITS ON THE IGNITION KEY ITSELF, DOING NOTHING FOR THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH, WHICH IS THE MAJOR PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH. I WAS FURTHER TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO BE INFORMED WHEN THE PART(S) WOULD BE AVAILABLE. AT THAT POINT I LOST MY TEMPER. THIS IS A PATENTLY ABSURD RESPONSE ON THE PART OF GM TO A SERIOUS IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM THAT HAS CAUSED AT LEAST 25 DEATHS SO FAR AND UNTOLD NUMBERS OF NON-FATAL ACCIDENTS. THEIR "FIX" HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT INSTEAD A SHAM PIECE OF PLASTIC WILL BE ADDED TO THE OWNER'S KEY, IF SHE/HE IS PERSISTENT ENOUGH TO FIND ONE AVAILABLE. YOU, THE NHTSA, SHOULD BE LEVYING HEAVY FINES AGAINST GM FOR EVERY DAY THIS SHAM RESPONSE OF THEIRS IS PERPETRATED. I WILL BE COPYING THIS TO BOTH MY U.S. SENATORS AND TO MY CONGRESSMAN. *TR

WHEN MY IMPALA WAS 4 YEARS OLD AND 42000 MILES(APRIL OR MAY OF 2013), BOTH REAR DOOR LOCKS REFUSED TO LOCK OR UNLOCK. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THEN CONTACTED GMS CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH REITERATED THE SAME THING. AFTER INVESTIGATING ONLINE, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW BLOGS WITH CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. TO REPLACE THESE LOCKS COSTS APPROXIMATELY $800. I CONTACTED YOUR ORGANIZATION THIS MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020.

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH WOULD NOT OPERATE ( INTERMITTENT) AT TIMES. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP (YOUNG CHEVROLET). DURING THE PAST MONTH (6/13) THE SAME TYPE OF CONDITION HAS OCCURRED. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS MUCH LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH NHTSA ID - 13V248. *TR

I OWN A 2011 CHEVY IMPALA AND FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS ON 6 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY MY ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" LIGHT APPEARS. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM AMONG GM VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT THERE IS NO CLEAR SOLUTION TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING WITH MANY MECHANICS STUMPED AND REPLACING PARTS IN WHICH THE PROBLEM RECURS ONLY A SHORT TIME LATER. I HAVE ALSO FOUND REPLACING WHAT THE DIAGNOSIS OF CODE P2135 SAYS THE PROBLEM STILL MAY NOT BE SOLVED. AS ONE CAN IMAGINE THAT DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH A SEMI,HEAVY TRAFFIC,ETC. AND LOSING ENGINE POWER MAY LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE RESULTS. I HAVE NOT INSTALLED ANY PARTS OTHER THAN TIRES AFTER PURCHASING OF VEHICLE. *TR
