Example complaints

“Does not shift into gear smoothly. I can feel a jerk when transmission changes gears. There is a delayed response when when excelerating from a standstill. This vehicle had 36000 miles when we noticed the problem 4 months ago. Problem code p0989 shown when recently checked by mechanic. Another problem ivolves an intermittent metallic grinding noise when making a left turn at low speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #11246315, filed 2019-08, 37,000 miles“I have had this worked on about 1 month of purchase. I was told the cheap ball bearings in the wheels are faulty. My car makes a strange noise when I turn the steering wheel and it lunges for a split second and then engages forward. Also when I am braking down a steep incline, the brakes grab and jerk the car slightly. This has gone on since I purchased this car.”
NHTSA complaint #10789960, filed 2015-11, 38,050 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11316487, filed 2020-03, 190,000 miles“The floating gas gauge doesn't properly read the gas levels, even after replacing the fuel pump system and housing. One minute my gauge says I have 120 miles worth of gas when I cut the car off. The next morning when I get in the car to leave, my gas gauge shows 109 miles then it might jump down to 99. I can never tell how much gas I have. The actuators go bad in every model, I've had a 2005, 2010 and 2013 all of which encountered problems with the actuators going bad during the summer months. When you replace one actuator, it's not long before it goes out again and you need a new one.”
NHTSA complaint #11024628, filed 2017-09, 120,000 miles“I bought a 2013 chevy Impala. I have not had the car for even a year yet, and every time I turn the car on you can hear a knocking noise coming from the dashboard. Every time I turn the car on or off. I checked with a mechanic, he told me that they have to remove the whole dash board in order to fix it! I believe this should be a recall! I previously had a 2008 also Impala as well, and it did the same thing. The reason I bought this 2013 Impala is because I like chevy's, but I didn't think this would happen again that is a shame that your company doesn't do a recall for this problem.”
