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.

FIX IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE IF YOUR MECHANICALLY / ELECTRICALLY INCLINED AS INVOLVES SPLICING IN A NEW WIRE HARNESS FOR THE ABS SENSOR.

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.

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.

CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY ON 6/9/16 AT 34,770 WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ON 8/3/18, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 60039 MILES, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THE STEERING GEAR WAS LEAKING AND IT WOULD BE AN $1829.50 REPAIR. THE SYMPTOMS I AM EXPERIENCING NOW ARE THE SAME AS WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOT REPAIRED CORRECTLY. IT MAKES A SCRAPING OR GRINDING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN. IF I ADD POWER STEERING FLUID, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WHICH USUALLY ONLY GETS IDENTIFIED AFTER THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.
