2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA Electronic Stability Control (esc) Problems

THE DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED THAT THERE ARE 11 CODES IN THE VEHICLE SYSTEM. THESE CODES RANGED FROM PASSKEY SYSTEM FAILURES TO EVAP CODES TO TRANSMISSION. SUSPECTED FAILURE OF WIRING HARNESS ALTOGETHER WITH POSSIBLE BCM/CAM FAILURE AS WELL. DURING BATTERY TEST THERE WAS A REGULAR DROP IN VOLTAGE WHILE CONNECTED TO THE SCANNER REFLECTING A DRAIN IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT COULD FURTHER BE CAUSING AN ISSUE. CODES ARE P0513 , P0523 , P0700 , P2122 , P0411, P0449 ,P0455. WHEN DRIVING STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND STABILITRACK TRACTION CONTROL. SOMETIMES THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK , I'D W OK OLD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY OR STREET AND POP THE HOOD JUST TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN.

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND ITS SAYING SERVICE TRACTIONCONTROL SYSTEM/SERVICE STABILATRAK SYSTEM AND ALSO SERVICE ASSITED BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM TO BE FIXED AT THEIR COST NOT MINE

WHENEVER I AM MAKING A LEFT TURN MY ALERT ALARM WILL LIGHT UP ON DASH STATING SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST , SERVICE STABILITRAK , SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT, THIS WILL GO ON & OFF, BUT NOW IT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. WHILE TURNING LEFT, THERE WILL BE A GRINDING NOISE, CAR TENDS TO REDUCE ITS POWER, LIKE ITS HARD FOR ME TO TAKE OFF AND MY VEHICLE WILL KICK SO HARD, LIKE SOMETHING IS LOCKING. ALSO ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHILE PARKED ON A SLANTED CARPORT, MY VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE GEAR. I FEEL LIKE MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO BREAK BECAUSE, I HAVE TO FORCE IT TO GET INTO REVERSE GEAR, THAT THE VEHICLE WILL MAKE THE LOUDEST NOISE, LIKE MY AXLE IS GOING TO BREAK ON ME. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT ITS NOT SHOWING UP ON THERE DIAGNOSTIC AS ANY ISSUES. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE?

2010 CHEVY IMPALA ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE ALREADY HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING ALL OF THE TIME AND NOW AFTER PUTTING NEW TIRES ON IT, I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND GET "SERVICE STABILITRACK," "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL," AND "ENGINE POWER REDUCED." I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO A TURNING LANE AND GET TO A PARKING LOT WITHOUT GETTING MYSELF KILLED. I STILL, HOWEVER, HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW I'M GETTING HOME FROM WORK! I HAD NOTICED WHEN I FIRST WENT OUT THAT IT SEEMED TO BE SHIFTING HARD, BUT THE ROADS WERE WET, SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS THE STABILITRACK KICKING IN, NOT GOING OUT! I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN, WHO THANKFULLY WERE NOT WITH ME. THE CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT. WITH SUCH LOW-MILEAGE, I FIGURED I WAS GOOD TO GO FOR AWHILE. I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE WITH ALMOST 200,000 MILES AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS MANY ISSUES OUT OF IT!! CONTACTED CHEVROLET, BUT AM TOLD NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE. WHY NOT?!?!

I HAVE BASICALLY REPLACED THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION TRYING TO RID THIS PROBLEM BUT TO NO AVAIL IT'S STILL GIVING ME THIS WARNING. IT'S CAUSING MY CAR TO SLIP WHEN I TURN CORNERS OR TRY TO ACCELERATE. IT'S CAUSING PULLING AND LOSS OF SPEED IN THE ENGINE . THIS PROBLEM IS COSTING ME ALOT OF MONEY AS WELL AS FRUSTRATION.

SERVICE STABILITRAK INDICATOR SHOWED UP AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RUN PROPERLY (ENGINE SEEMED TO WANT TO STALL, LOSS OF POWER, ROUGH IDLEING, TRANSMISSION 'KICKING'. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT THE CONSUMER SINCE THE COSTS OF REPAIR ARE (CAN BE) EXTREMELY HIGH. MANUFACTURER SHOULD ENSURE THE PARTS THEY USE FOR STABILITY AND SAFETY WILL LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

ANTI LOCKING BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILTRAC ,SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. HAD ALL CHECKED, SAID IT WAS A RIGHT DRIVE WHEEL BEARING, REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARING. STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT AFTER JUST HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED A FEW WEEKS EARLIER, WITHOUT WARNING, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. JUST BEFORE THE STALL IT WAS DRIVING COMPLETELY NORMAL WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL. SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE MESSAGES OF SERVICE STABILTRACK, TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, AND LOW ENGINE POWER. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN AFTERMARKET SENONDARY AIR CHECK VALVE THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. WITH THIS THEY GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING CODES; P0068, P0340, P0651, AND P2135. DUE TO ME JUST RECENTLY GETTING THIS PART REPLACED THIS PAST FEBRUARY I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC THAT REPLACED IT. WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK IT WOULD NO LONGER EVEN START. THE MECHANIC THEN INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR VALVE WOULD NOT CAUSE THIS ISSUE AND THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. WHEN THAT WAS DONE I WAS TOLD A SECOND TIME THAT IT WAS THE AIR VALVE. I HAVE NOW COME OUT OF POCKET TWICE FOR TOWS THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. ALONG WITH PAYING FOR AN EXPENSIVE PART POSSIBLY TWICE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER GIVEN ME ANY ISSUES UNTIL THIS YEAR.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY IMPALA LT WITH 90K+ MILES ON IT. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 USED WITH 40K+ MILES ON IT, SO THE CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED THROUGH WARRANTY. ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SERVICE STABILITRAC, ETC. I'M A FULL TIME COLLEGE STUDENT, AND A FULL TIME UBER DRIVER. LAST NIGHT I WAS WITH A PASSENGER ON [XXX] TOWARDS O'HARE AIRPORT. MY CAR REDUCED SPEED AND SUDDENLY DROPPED SPEED FROM 70MPH DOWN TO 50MPH. AS I TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY LIGHT AND START STEERING TO THE RIGHT TO GET ONTO THE SHOULDER I WAS IN THE THIRD LANE TO THE RIGHT (THE EXPRESSWAY IS 4 LANES) AS I WAS TURNING TO THE RIGHT TO GET ONTO THE SHOULDER AND TO GET TO SAFETY MY STEERING LOCKS, AND THERE WAS A RECKLESS DRIVER GOING 100MPH TRYING TO CUT OFF TRAFFIC. THE LANES TO THE LEFT WERE BLOCKED SO HE HAD TO CUT ME OFF BY OVERTAKING ME BY GOING ONTO THE SHOULDER. HE DAMAGED HIS RIGHT REARVIEW MIRROR AND PROBABLY SCRAPPED THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS CAR PULLING OFF THAT RECKLESS STUNT. HAD I DELAYED THE BREAKING FOR A SECOND I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE MAKING THIS POST TODAY. LUCKILY I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND TOOK THE NEARBY [XXX], AND WAITED WITH MY PASSENGER AT THE NEARBY TARGET PARKING LOT FOR THE NEXT UBER DRIVER TO PICK UP MY PASSENGER AND GET HER SAFELY TO THE AIRPORT. HAD I NOT ACTED QUICKLY, MY UBER PASSENGER WOULD HAVE MISSED HER FLIGHT.

THIS PROBLEM TENDS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION TRYING TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND SIMPLY JUST TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT IS VERY HARD TO DESCRIBE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS BUT IT'S LIKE THE CAR HAS A HUGE HICCUP AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE UNDERNEATH. I HAVE TO LIGHTLY TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL TO TRY AND AVOID THIS HAPPENING. I GET THE WARNING LIGHT-SERVICE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL. I GET SCARED AT TIMES TRYING TO MAKE TURNS BECAUSE WHEN THE HICCUPPING HAPPENS, IT DELAYS THE CAR FOR SECONDS AND I TRY TO PRESS ON THE GAS BUT IT WON'T GET UP TO SPEED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IF IT'S POSSIBLE, I TRY AND WAIT FOR A GOOD DISTANCE BETWEEN ME CROSSING AND THE CARS COMING.

INTERMITTENT ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRAK ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT STARTYED AT ABOUT 80K MILES. I HAVE REPLACED THE WHEEL HUB TWICE DUE TO A LOOSE BEARING. THIS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME, BUT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE THE SECOND TIME. IT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS JARRED (SUCH AS HITTING A POT HOLD ON A DIRT ROAD) OR WHEN TURNING HARD TO THE RIGHT WHILE ACCELERATING. IF IT HAPPENS A FEW TIMES WITHIN A SHORT TIME, THEN THE SYSTEM WILL ABS, STABILITRAK, AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. IT

IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURNPIKE. I THOUGHT IT WAS OIL BUT THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. IT STOPS (THE PROBLEMS) AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR AN EVENING, BUT I'M SCARED IT WILL POWER DOWN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS THE CAR BEEPS, THEN THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON WITH WARNING AND SO DOES THE ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING. ALWAYS IN MOTION, ESPECIALLY HIGHER SPEEDS THAN NORMAL CITY STREETS. SUCH AS TURNPIKE AND HIGHWAY.

I HAVE HAD MY 2010 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR NOW. IT CURRENTLY HAS 164,000 MILES. THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER (BUT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IN COLD WEATHER) TWO LIGHTS POP UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT. I ALSO GET THREE DISPLAY MESSAGES, SERVICE STABILTRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. HALF OF THE TIMES THAT THIS OCCURS MY CAR LITERALLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND A DIFFERENT MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED STATING ENGINE POWER SHUTTING DOWN. I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE, POWER STEERING, GAS ETC. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS ,WHICH IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. I TURN THE CAR OFF, IF I IMMEDIATELY TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON IT DOES NOTHING, IF I WAIT A MINUTE OR SO IT WILL TURN OVER. AT THIS TIME USUALLY ALL DISPLAY AND LIGHTS ARE OFF EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHICH DOES EVENTUALLY GO AWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR A RECALL IS IN ORDER. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS SIMILAR SITUATION. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROUTE, ALERTS APPEARED FOR "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THEN "SERVICE STABILITRAK" FOLLOWED BY "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITING A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING. THE MESSAGES STOPPED, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I DROVE A FEW MORE MILES AND APPROACHED THE ON-RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE. AS I ACCELERATED TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THE SAME ALERTS CAME BACK ON IN ADDITION TO "STARTING DISABLED, SERVICE THROTTLE". SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY CAR BECAME COMPLETELY DISABLED AND SHUT DOWN AS I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE- THE ENGINE CUT OFF, NO POWER STEERING, NO ACCELERATION!! THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP AND SEEMS TO RUN FINE AT THE REPAIR SHOP. WORRIED WHEN AND WHERE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

AT FIRST IT WAS WHEN BACKING UP AND TURNING SHARP. THE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE WOULD COME ON AND A GRINDING LIKE SOUND FROM THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL AREA. LATER IT INCLUDED THE ABS WARNING AND WOULD ALSO OCCUR AFTER BACKING WITH TURN AND GOING FORWARD AT THAT MOMENT. NOW RANDOMLY WHEN PULLING OUT AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. RECENTLY ALSO THE OIL PRESSURE LOW MESSAGE AND DUMMY LIGHT COME ON 3-4 TIMES BEFORE STOPPING (AND YES THE OIL PRESSURE IS GOOD WITH CORRECT OIL, TIRES, PRESSURE, BRAKES, SENSORS ALL CHECK GOOD). BEST GUESS DIAGNOSTICS IS SHORTING IN WIRING HARNESS THAT CAN NOT BE LOCATED UNTIL IT FAILS COMPLETELY. HOWEVER WITH GRABBING WITH TRACTION CONTROL WHEN PULLING OUT AND AIR BAG PROBLEMS IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

Mileage: 59,000

MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STEERED TO THE LEFT. STEERING WAS DIFFICULT IN THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL/ CAR SHOOK AT LOW SPEEDS.

LATELY AS I AM DRIVING A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE DASH. IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST. ALSO THE ABS LIGHT IS ON AND THE NO TRACTION LIGHT IS ON.

WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS LATER, THE CAR STARTED FINE WITH THE ONLY WARNING BEING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I DROVE HOME AND CALLED MY LOCAL REPAIR TO LOOK AT IT. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I STARTED IT THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL AND MY LOCAL DEALER CHECK THE SENSORS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 30 DAYS LATER AND HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN 4 TIMES SINCE THEN. EACH TIME AFTER 2-5 HOURS THE CAR SEEMS FINE EXCEPT FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH GOES OUT THE NEXT DAY. *JS

I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT APPROXIMATELY 2 YRS AGO, I BEGAN SEEING THE SEQUENCE OF MESSAGES, "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED," AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT. THE CAR SPEED WAS OBVIOUSLY REDUCED AND I COULDN'T REALLY ACCELERATE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO CARMAX AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, BUT SEEMINGLY ALWAYS ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE I'M TRAVELING AROUND 65--70 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RESEARCH WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM. I THINK THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHEVY I PURCHASE! *TR
