My 2013 Impala Ltz Service Traction Control, Service Stabilitrack, Engine power reduced problem lights came on the dash. Almost had an accident I want to know why the 2013 model of impala has not had any recalls as the 2010 models with same issues..... My vehicle has the same major issue and need to be addressed & Recalled...... The 2013 Chevrolet impala LTZ Need to be Recalled to fix this issue for the safety of my family and the families on the road and Highways........ I can't express more the need of recall for my vehicle!!!!! I attached documents on the pervious 2010 model recall that had the same issues.... If you think Chevrolet dealership fixed the problem on the 2013 impala model it didn't work cause I have same issues!!!!!

Driving home on 9/3/22 I began to turn into a curve in the road at which time the brake light on dash came on and felt as though one wheel in the rear locked up.2 seconds later It caused my car to spin uncontrollable down the road and slide into ditch however I slid into a field entrance and it caused my car to roll more then once and landed on passenger side. Airbags did not deploy at any time during this accident.

while waiting to make a left turn when traffic cleared I pressed the gas pedal and heard a loud grinding noise and the car would not move for 2 or 3 seconds and suddenly moved. Very dangerous. Car forums have many of the same incidents with great difficulty in resolving this problem and after several years no answers. This is life threatening issue.

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.

DAYS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 CHEVY IMPALA LTZ 2 YEARS AGO FROM FIRST CAR IN BAKERSFIELD I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. AS I WOULD DRIVE IT , IT STARTED TO AUTOMATICLY BRAKE ON ITS OWN AND LOSE TRACTION SPEED. BLOWS WHITE SMOKE ALL THE TIME IT IS RUNNING EVEN WHEN PARKED. I HAVE MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SHAKES SLOT. I HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $5000 IN REPAIRS AND NO IMPROVEMENT WHAT SO EVER!

WIRING HARNESS IS DEFECTIVE AND FRICTION CAUSES ELECTRICAL MISFIRES THAT AFFECT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, FROM DEACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING TO NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN OVER THE ENGINE TO START. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND GM NOR ANY SAFETY COMMISSION WILL DO ANYTHING IN TERMS OF A RECALL. THIS COMPLAINT IS THE ONLY RECOURSE THAT I HAVE IN ORDER TO NOTIFY PUBLIC OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING AS IT CAN CAUSE SAFETY HAZARD ON ROAD.

SHAKES AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE TIRE MAY COME OFF WHILE DRIVING. SHAKES WHEN YOU GO A CERTAIN SPEED AND SLOW DOWN. REPLACED TIRES AND HAD ALIGNMENT CHECK AND CAR STILL DOES THE SAME THING.

MY BRAKE CATCHES WHILE DRIVING AND UNDER DASH BOARD MAKES NOISE AND WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEATER IT MAKES NOISE AND ALL MY DASH BOARD HAZARDS LIGHT ARE ON AND WANT GO OFF WIPER RADIO FRONT SEAT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AND THE SHOP I TOOK IT TO TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOU BECAUSE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE

ABLE TO SHIFT GEAR POSITIONS BUT THE INDICATED SHIFT POSITION DOES NOT REPRESENT THE GEAR POSITION THE VEHICLE IS IN. WHEN I STOP AND PARK THE VEHICLE, I AM ABLE TO SHIFT THE LEVER TO THE "PARK" POSITION, BUT THE VEHICLE IS NOT ACTUALLY IN PARK POSITION. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON. VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY IN PARK WHEN GEAR IS IN PARK POSITION. THE LIGHTEST TOUCH WILL KNOCK GEAR SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND CAR ROLLS AWAY.

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR SHOWS NO MISFIRES UNTIL TODAY AND ITS THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE BUT IT RESETS AND GOES AWAY THEN BACK AGAIN LIKE ITS REMOTE CONTROL. WHILE STATIONARY BATTERY IS FAIR/ ALTERNATOR FAIR

MY CAR KEEPS TURNING OFF ON ME WHILE IM DRIVING

STABILTRAK ABS TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ALL COME ON VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND POWER IS REDUCED. RESEARCHED AND FOUND 100'S OF REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE IMPALA AND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE LIGHT TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. FIX IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE IF YOUR MECHANICALLY / ELECTRICALLY INCLINED AS INVOLVES SPLICING IN A NEW WIRE HARNESS FOR THE ABS SENSOR. SAID HARNESS IS ABOUT $20 IT SHORTS OUT DUE TO INSUFFICIENT GAUGE OF WIRE USED ON ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL. REPLACE HARNESS HAS MUCH STURDIER GAUGE FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH SAYS. REPAIR SHOP QUOTED $700 TO REPAIR GLAD I TOLD THEM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. THEY HAVE A FLEET OF IMPALAS AS LOANERS SO THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOUGING PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY REPLACE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY ABS SENSOR AND WIRING HARNESS WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S THE ABS SENSOR PERIOD. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AFTER TURNING OR GOING OVER A BUMP WIRING THAT HAS BEEN WORE THRU DUE TO PLACEMENT OF WIRING IN A HIGH FRICTION AREA, WIRE WEARS THROUGH COATING EXPOSES WIRING THAT SHORTS OUT AND SENDS CODES TO COMPUTER CONCERNING ABS STABILTRAK AND TRACTION ASSIST CAUSES VEHICLE TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED CAUSED VEHICLE TO STALL AND NOT RESTART UNTIL PROBLEM CORRECTED. I'M SURE THEY ARE GOUGED FOR A THOUSAND $ OR MORE. WET ROAD CONDITIONS,EXTREME HEAT OR COLD,LEFT TURN WHILE BACKING, JARRING BUMPS, ALL TRIGGER THE DASH TO LIGHT UP LIKE CHRISTMAS TREE DINGING ALARM GOES OFF STEERING SHUDDERS POWER IS REDUCED. IT'S A HUGE DISTRACTION AND SAFETY CONCERN FOR SO MANY TO BE EXPERIENCING GM SHOULD STAND UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

DRIVER'S SIDE BACK DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM WILL BECOME STUCK, AND DOOR WILL REMAIN LOCKED DESPITE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. FIRST NOTICED WHEN THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AFTER BEING PUT IN PARK AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. OTHER DOORS UNAFFECTED, AND REAR PASSENGERS WERE ABLE TO EXIT VEHICLE VIA PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR. ONLY SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE REMOVING THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELING TO ACCESS THE LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (VARIES) BUT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILI-TRAC WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SHUDDERED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE ALSO RECURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REVERSED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHUDDERED AT SPEEDS EXCEEDING 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

FAULTY WIRING HARNESS FOR THE STABLE LINK SYSTEM FRONT DRIVER SIDE. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON ALONG WITH THE STABLE LINK SYSTEM AND LOSE POWER TO THE ENGINE AND SHUT DOWN.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT EVERY 2 WEEKS, NOT BLOWING BULBS JUST STOPS WORKING. HAVE CLEANED CONNECTORS SEVERAL TIMES, WORE GLOVES WHEN CHANGING BULB AND CHECKED FUSE. *TR

I'VE HAD MY 2013 LT IMPALA FOR 39 MONTHS I AM CURRENTLY FINANCING THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THE ACTUATORS I KEEP REPEATING AND THEY KEEP GOING OUT CONSTANTLY AND THE REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE I'VE REPLACED THESE MULTIPLE TIMES AND AFTER A MONTH IT DOES THE PROBLEM AGAIN WHICH ENDED UP DRAINING MY BATTERY EACH TIME. I HAVE REPLACED MY BATTERY FOR A BRAND NEW ONE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE I GOT THE PROBLEM OF ALL 3 ACTUATOR FIXED AND HERE WE ARE NOW AND MY VEHICLE IS DEAD THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED BECAUSE THE ACTUATORS KEEP GOING OUT AND THE TICKING NOISE NEVER STOPS AND IT GOES EVEN WHEN I'M NOT PRESENT IN THE CAR AND RANDOM TIMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION*DT*JB

WHEELS DRAG HESITATE WHEN PULLING OFF FROM A PARKED POSITION, HAS DONE THIS SINCE ABOUT A MONTH OF PURCHASING THIS CAR FROM DEALERSHIP. *TR

IT KEEPS SAYING ON THE ODOMETER ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL OR TRACK AND LOWER THE POWER. MY CAR WAS ON MOTION ON A CITY STREET WITH CARS ALL AROUND US. I'VE READ THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SAME THING. WHY DON'T THEY RECALL

WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE OF MY CAR HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. DUE TO DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS AND GEARS. KNOWN TO BEING PROBLEMATIC AND BREAKING AROUND 85,000 MILES. MANY ON LINE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ENGINE, BUT GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND DO A SAFETY RECALL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN MY ENGINE FAILED THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO ALERT US TO A PROBLEM. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE AND IT MADE A CLANGING NOISE ALONG WITH A THICK CLOUD OF BLUE SMOKE.. WE WERE LUCKY TO GET THE CAR OFF THE SIDE OF ROAD BEFORE GETTING REAR ENDED. TIMING CHAINS ARE NOT A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM. THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO LAST THE LIFE OF MOTOR. IF THEY ARE FAILING AT 85,000 MILES OR LESS WHY ISN'T A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LISTED FOR IT. OUR CAR WAS REGULARLY MAINTAINED AT 4,000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC OIL. I DID NOT USE A CHEVY MAINTENANCE MECHANIC I USED A MECHANIC WHO HAS CLOSE TO 50 YEARS EXPERIENCE. JI CALLED GM UP TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPEN THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I CAN'T GO BY ON LINE FORUMS. THEY WANTED ME TO TOW THE CAR TO A CHEVY GARAGE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I ASKED THEM IF THEY CAN HAVE A MECHANIC COME TO WHERE MY CAR IS, BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD ANOTHER TOW AND IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS THE ENGINE FAILED. THEY REFUSED. I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO REPLACE A MOTOR AT 85,000 MILES WHEN MOST IMPALAS GO 200,000 MILES. AFTER ON LINE RESEARCH THERE WAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE WITH TIMING CHAINS AND ALSO A CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH DIFFERENT MODELS, BUT SAME ENGINE. I HAVE NO MONEY TO REPLACE AN ENGINE AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.

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.

2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE KEYS BEING WEIGHTED COULD CAUSE THE IGNITION TO SWITCH OUT OF POSITION. *JS

THERE IS A "KNOWN" ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE CAR WILL DECELERATE AND TRAFFIC IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I FOUND THE CAUSE VIA GOOGLE AND NEEDS TO GET ADDRESSED. THE CAR WILL ALWAYS DISPLAY DRIVER FEEDBACK ON THE DASHBOARD. IT SIMULATES WHEN DRIVING THROUGH AN ICY PATCH. THE CAR WILL NOT EXCEL BUT RATHER DECELERATE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME JUST LAST WEEK TURNING INTO PAYTON MANNING CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT

UPON USING THE KEY FOB TO LOCK OR UNLOCK DOORS, OR JUST OPENING AN UNLOCKED DOOR, A LOUD CLICKING SOUNDS STARTS FROM UNDER THE DASH AND CAN LAST FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND SHIFT SIDE FROM DRIVE SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE AND BACK. THE A/C NOR HEAT WORKS WHILE THE CLICKING SOUND IS MADE. WHEN YOU CHANGE SETTING FROM A/C TO HEAT, THE CLICKING SOUND STARTS AGAIN. INITIALLY, AFTER THE CLICKING SOUND STOPPED, THE A/C AND/OR HEAT WORKED FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. NOW, AT TIMES, NEITHER THE A/C NOR HEAT WORKS. IF EITHER WORKS, IT IS ONLY ONE SIDE AND IT SHIFTS AS TO WHICH SIDE WORKS. BOTH SIDES NO LONGER WORK AT ONCE. DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAVE SEPARATE A/C AND HEAT CONTROLS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND THERE IS NOT A KEY IN THE IGNITION. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS ON, WHILE IN DRIVE AND IN PARK, STATIONARY, MOVING, TURNING, STOPPED, ETC. ALWAYS MAKES THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN UNLOCKING AND LOCKING DOORS. NOT FOB RELATED BECAUSE CLICKING SOUND HAPPENS WHEN MANUALLY UNLOCKING AND LOCKING DOORS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION. (OTHER IMPALA OWNERS HAVE TOLD ME THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE) THE CLICKING SOUNDSTARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND WOULD HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY, EACH TIME THE DOOR OPENS AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. IF WE ARE UNSURE IF DOORS ARE LOCKED AND USE THE KEY FOB TO LOCK, THE CLICKING STARTS AGAIN.

THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I WAS THE MIDDLE CAR IN A THREE CAR COLLISSION

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND I BEGIN TO LOOSE POWER I TRIED PUSHING THE OFF BUTTON AFTER A FEW MILES IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF HOPING TO RESET IT BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I'VE HAD MY STARTER CHECKED, MY BATTERY, MY ALTERNATOR ALL THOSE CAME OUT FINE BUT THE CAR WON'T START AND THE MECHANICS ARE SAYING THEY HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE THAT THE TRACTION SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE CAR FROM STARTING. ALSO PRIOR TO THIS I WOULD HEAR A THROOTLING SOUND AS WELL TO ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A TIRE WAS LOOSE SO K EVEN HAD THAT CHECKED BUT I BELIEVE IT'S CONNECTED TO THIS TRACTION LIGHT THAT CAME OWN BEFORE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF.

THE SERVICE STABILITRAK/ABS/BRAKE CONTROL LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF INCESSANTLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I'M MOVING, TURNING, BREAKING, ETC. IT'S SEEMINGLY COMPLETELY RANDOM. EVERY IME THEY DO, THE CAR DINGS, MAKING THE RIDE UNBEARABLE ("DING, DING, DING...DING, DING, DING" AD NASEUM). THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY, A LITTLE OVER 1.5 YEARS AGO. IT'S NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. COUNTLESS REPORTS ON FORUMS INDICATE THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS GOING TO THE HUB ASSEMBLY. GM SHOULD RECALL THIS. IT'S DISTRACTING, UNSAFE, AND SEEMINGLY UNFIXABLE IN THE LONG TERM. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE FIXED THIS IN LESS THAN 50,000 MILES DRIVEN.
