Example complaints

“My check engine light came on while driving. I told my car to the mechanic and I was told my mass engine airflow needed to be replaced. Two days later the check engine light was on again. Return to the mechanic and was told my o2 sensors needed to be replaced. Replaced as recommended. I was driving down the highway and the light came on again along with a message that said reduce speed. At this point, my car slowed down by itself while I was going 60 miles per hour. I could not accelerate. Luckily there were no cars behind me. …”

“My side detection warning light came on and would not shut off, I turned my car off and still it was on, until what seemed like the lights burned out in my read view mirrors. The warning comes up on my dash repeatedly. I just received a bid to have it fixed, $1200. 00 and its parts are back ordered from chevy. Seems people everywhere are having this problem online. I called chevy, they said no recall until there is a safety concern , not covered unless you are under you 36k miles. I am not, super frustrating to pay that much to have a convenience feature fixed.”

“While I was driving down an interstate in heavy traffic (rush hour) getting ready to merge onto another interstate the vehicle lunged violently jolted and lost power. At that time I was driving (cruise control off) at 60mph, the display lights on the dashboard came on stated: stability control, traction control,check engine came light on, and vehicle rapidly slowing. I was able to move to the right lane and access and exit ramp. Once that happened you can't get vehicle to move when pressing on the gas pedal. I put it in park, turned off the vehicle. …”

“Initially it started out with losing all lighting control during driving for about 10sec after which it comes back on. This when on are about two months and about a week ago, I started getting the error message 'power steering drive with care' which alternates with another error message 'stabilitrak'. Each time this comes on during driving, the car jerks a little with the emergency park light for about 2sec and if I were driving with the cruise control on, it automatically disables it. This is regardless of how fast am driving.”

“Whenever I turn the steering wheel to the left, the stabilitrack and ABS dashboard lights come on and the read-out panel says both systems need service and these lights stay on and the systems shut-off making the vehicle less safe. I should point out that the lights come on when the pavement is drive and its warm out. Why is this happening to the relatively new car with barely 50,000 miles. The car is designed to be driven with the stabilitrack and ABS systems working properly. I've looking into this on-line and it appears many people with Impala's are experiencing the same issue. …”
