Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving, I got to about 60mph and the traction control as well as tire pressure light came on and engine power reduce. I dropped to 40-45mph then system said entering trottle mode and vehicle cut in road. I pulled over, turned ignition off and waited 2 or 3 minutes then I was able to restart vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10638765, filed 2014-09, 130,000 miles“A front tire developed a bubble protruding from a sidewall crack on the inside of my goodyear ls-2 tire. A second ls-2 failed from a similar sidewall crack at just over 30,000 miles. My 3rd ls-2 is currently failing on the interior sidewall with about 48,000 miles on the car. The tread was good on all tires replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10549035, filed 2013-10, 21,000 miles“The service tire monitor system light comes on, and from asking mechanics and others that have had this issue, it is not just the replacement of a sensor or part. Was very nerve racking when it first happened since I thought that there was a serious problem with one of my tires (since it showed one at 0 PSI), but it was just a glitch. If something really was wrong, I would have no idea since this seems to be a problem that happens occasionally without there being a real issue”
NHTSA complaint #10748858, filed 2015-08, 138,000 miles“For the last year or so I have dealt with several issues that started happening all of a sudden and all at once. For starters, my air bag indicator come on and off when I drive at any speed. An independent mechanic could not diagnose it and the dealership attempted to diagnose it and all he said was I needed to replace my air bags which would have cost roughly $3400.00. In addition to that, my ABS indicator began going on and off and has caused my car to feel as if it was on a hydroplane mode. When it turns on it occasionally makes my car jerk on the road. …”
NHTSA complaint #11071967, filed 2018-02, 89,000 miles“I have a 2009 Chevrolet Impala with 89756+ miles. I have been having issues with the car's traction service control and ABS lights. The lights stays on and when I turn the car makes a grinding sound and sometimes stalls. When the light goes off, the car loses some brake control. I have taken it to 3 different auto mechanics. I replace the gas pedal (twice), the left barring and the problem hasn't gone away. I have been researching this for a year now. My research shows that this is an issue that is happening to a lot of 2009 chevy impalas. …”
