Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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“In sept of 2015 we had a blow-out while on I-71 in ohio we were traveling at about 75 MPH and were lucky enough to be almost upon and exit ramp where we could get off and put on our donut and proceeded to a tire store where we had to buy a new tire.we did not take a picture, figured we hit something in the road. …”
NHTSA complaint #10821078, filed 2016-01, 40,800 miles“Traction control activates when there are completely dry roads. It activates when I am accelerating from a stop as I am turning left. It seems to be a problem with a sensor in the wheel(my opinion),but when I take it in to the dealer they can't duplicate customer concern there has been on and off problems with this system since I purchased the car. It is frustrating that it isn't corrected and the service department gives me the impression since they can't identify the problem,it's not a problem to them.”
NHTSA complaint #10746324, filed 2015-08, 20,540 miles“Takata recall when I turn my wheel to the left and proceed to drive . The traction control light comes on and I hear a rubbing noise. I have had it looked at and they don't believe the wheel hub or bearings is bad. I have noticed other Impala owners are having the same issue. My vehicle is 78,000 miles and my bumper to bumper warranty has expired. I feel that this should be fixed by Chevrolet by a recall. Asap I am needing to drive across the country of round trip miles of 4,000. Very scared to drive my car , afraid that it is the bearing and will lock up on me on the freeway. …”
NHTSA complaint #10934075, filed 2016-12, 76,000 miles“I just purchased my vehicle 3 months ago and about 2 weeks ago, I've been having issues with traction control, ABS and service stabilitrak. It seems I get this problem when I just start my car and try to turn the wheel right, at low speeds it feels like it's grinding. This problem has happened a few times since then (not consistent) and every time it grinds I get a traction control light pop up. This problem is happening when there is no rain or snow on the road. I have done some research and it seems a lot of people are having the same issue with Chevrolet Impala's. …”
