2013 CHEVROLET IMPALA Service Brakes Problems

Driving home on 9/3/22 I began to turn into a curve in the road at which time the brake light on dash came on and felt as though one wheel in the rear locked up.2 seconds later It caused my car to spin uncontrollable down the road and slide into ditch however I slid into a field entrance and it caused my car to roll more then once and landed on passenger side. Airbags did not deploy at any time during this accident.

MY BRAKE CATCHES WHILE DRIVING AND UNDER DASH BOARD MAKES NOISE AND WHEN YOU TURN ON THE HEATER IT MAKES NOISE AND ALL MY DASH BOARD HAZARDS LIGHT ARE ON AND WANT GO OFF WIPER RADIO FRONT SEAT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AND THE SHOP I TOOK IT TO TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOU BECAUSE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE

STABILTRAK ABS TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ALL COME ON VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND POWER IS REDUCED. RESEARCHED AND FOUND 100'S OF REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE IMPALA AND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE LIGHT TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. FIX IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE IF YOUR MECHANICALLY / ELECTRICALLY INCLINED AS INVOLVES SPLICING IN A NEW WIRE HARNESS FOR THE ABS SENSOR. SAID HARNESS IS ABOUT $20 IT SHORTS OUT DUE TO INSUFFICIENT GAUGE OF WIRE USED ON ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL. REPLACE HARNESS HAS MUCH STURDIER GAUGE FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH SAYS. REPAIR SHOP QUOTED $700 TO REPAIR GLAD I TOLD THEM TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER. THEY HAVE A FLEET OF IMPALAS AS LOANERS SO THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOUGING PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY REPLACE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY ABS SENSOR AND WIRING HARNESS WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S THE ABS SENSOR PERIOD. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AFTER TURNING OR GOING OVER A BUMP WIRING THAT HAS BEEN WORE THRU DUE TO PLACEMENT OF WIRING IN A HIGH FRICTION AREA, WIRE WEARS THROUGH COATING EXPOSES WIRING THAT SHORTS OUT AND SENDS CODES TO COMPUTER CONCERNING ABS STABILTRAK AND TRACTION ASSIST CAUSES VEHICLE TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED CAUSED VEHICLE TO STALL AND NOT RESTART UNTIL PROBLEM CORRECTED. I'M SURE THEY ARE GOUGED FOR A THOUSAND $ OR MORE. WET ROAD CONDITIONS,EXTREME HEAT OR COLD,LEFT TURN WHILE BACKING, JARRING BUMPS, ALL TRIGGER THE DASH TO LIGHT UP LIKE CHRISTMAS TREE DINGING ALARM GOES OFF STEERING SHUDDERS POWER IS REDUCED. IT'S A HUGE DISTRACTION AND SAFETY CONCERN FOR SO MANY TO BE EXPERIENCING GM SHOULD STAND UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

THE SERVICE STABILITRAK/ABS/BRAKE CONTROL LIGHTS TURN ON AND OFF INCESSANTLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I'M MOVING, TURNING, BREAKING, ETC. IT'S SEEMINGLY COMPLETELY RANDOM. EVERY IME THEY DO, THE CAR DINGS, MAKING THE RIDE UNBEARABLE ("DING, DING, DING...DING, DING, DING" AD NASEUM). THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY, A LITTLE OVER 1.5 YEARS AGO. IT'S NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. COUNTLESS REPORTS ON FORUMS INDICATE THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESS GOING TO THE HUB ASSEMBLY. GM SHOULD RECALL THIS. IT'S DISTRACTING, UNSAFE, AND SEEMINGLY UNFIXABLE IN THE LONG TERM. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'VE FIXED THIS IN LESS THAN 50,000 MILES DRIVEN.

SERVICE ABS/STABILITRACK IS DISPLAYING OFTEN. GRINDING NOISE, DECREASED POWER AND CAR WILL NEARLY STOP ON YOU FROM TIME TO TIME, PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, MORE THAN ONCE, THEY GET NO CODES ON DIAGNOSTIC. I BELIEVE THIS IS A WIRING ISSUE. HOWEVER, THIS DEFECT IS FOUND IN MANY YEARS OF THE SAME MAKE OF VEHICLE. AT TIMES WHEN TURNING, THE STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE COULD HARM OR KILL ME OR MY FAMILY. THERE IS BOUND TO BE LAWSUITS IF THIS IS NOT RECALLED. A SEARCH ONLINE PRODUCES HUNDREDS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

THE WIRE HARNESS THAT CONTROLS THE LEFT FRONT ABS AND STABILITRAK BROKE CAUSING THE ABS TO ENGAGE ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER READING ONLINE IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE IMPALA THAT EVEN HAS A TSB FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE BROKEN HARNESS ALONG WITH THE $272.94 BILL FOR HAVING THE DEALER REPAIR IT.

UNWANTED TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEED. IT USUALLY HAPPENS FROM A STOP WHEN TURNING LEFT, BUT ALSO HAS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED WHEN TURNING LEFT, WHEN GOING STRAIGHT OVER A BUMPY ROAD AND ALSO WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE ROADS ARE DRY. TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ACTIVATES WITH A DISTINCT NOISE AND VEHICLE HESITATION. DASH LIGHTS/NOTIFICATIONS ARE USUALLY NOT ACTIVATED HOWEVER SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL HAS APPEARED A FEW TIMES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ONE AND A HALF YEARS VERY INTERMITTENTLY, BUT HAS BECOME CONSTANT NOW EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR 6 DAYS OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I FINALLY DROVE WITH A MECHANIC AND EASILY REPLICATED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR A 4TH TIME (AFTER THE MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM). THE CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE PROBLEM MUST BE REPAIRED PERMANENTLY.

BRAKE AND STEERING SYSTEM DEFECT. WHILE DRIVING THE ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILI-TRAK, AND BRAKE ASSIST LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC AT MODERATE SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM (WHAT!!!!) AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE DRIVETRAIN BUT ONLY PART OF THE 30K COVERAGE. THEY THEN SAID IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THEY COULD LOOK AT THE CAR. (BRAKE AND STEERING ISSUES NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM?) IN DOING SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH CHEVEROLET AND GM VEHICLES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE PROBLEM THERE HAVE BEEN EVEN MORE SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAKE, STABILITY SYSTEM. SOME EVEN REPORTED TO YOUR DEPARTMENT. IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOUR DEPARTMENT WOULD BE PROACTIVE AND HAVE THIS ISSUE INVESTIGATED BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN GM. BEFORE THERE ARE FATALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. PERHAPS YOU COULD SPEND SOME TIME LOOKING AT THE VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE WEB AND SEE THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM HERE. I DOUBT ANYTHING WILL BE DONE BUT THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO VENT.

WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED LEFT AND NOW RIGHT THE FRONT END GRINDS AT TIMES BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING GRADUALLY WORSE, GRINDING MORE OFTEN. THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC SYSTEM" COMES ACROSS THE DASH PANEL AND NOW IT IS STATING "SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST". ALL THE WHILE NOTHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH ANYTHING UP FRONT. THIS HAPPENS UPON ACCELERATION. THIS CAN HAPPEN IN CITY STREETS, PARKING LOTS AND FREEWAYS. I HAPPENS ANYWHERE UPON ACCELERATION. THERE IS NO POINT AT WHICH THE GRINDING IS TAKING PLACE CAN BE SEEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT CHEVROLET HAS WITH ALL THE MODELS OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE YET THEY ARE DENYING ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLES.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE TURNING LEFT, ABS ENGAGES AND BRAKES LEFT FRONT WHEEL CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION STOPPING THE CAR IN INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT WARNING. SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE ABS AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGES ALSO APPEAR ON DASHBOARD MESSAGE CENTER. ALL WARNING LIGHTS RESET WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, UNTIL A LEFT TURN IS MADE WHILE ACCELERATING AGAIN, AND THE ABOVE ISSUES OCCUR AGAIN.

GRINDING NOISE FROM FRONT AND ABS ENGAGES THE BRAKES AND LOW TRACTION LIGHT FLASHES ON WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND TURNING LEFT AT THE SAME TIME, DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ACCELERATE SLOW OR FAST AND THIS IS HAPPENING ON DRY PAVEMENT. IF I TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL IT WILL NOT DO IT, SO I ASSUME THE PROBLEM MUST EXIST IN A SPEED SENSOR OR SOMETHING WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSORS OR WIRING. OF COURSE MECHANICS CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS. WAITING FOR GM TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX.

Mileage: 54,000

FIRST MY SERVICE ABS TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHILE MAKING LEFT TURNS A LOUD METAL GRINDING NOISE HAPPENED AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC HE REPLACED THE BEARING AND SENSORS WHICH HELPED WITH THE SERVICE LIGHTS BUT THE GRINDING STILL HAPPENED. THE NOISE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STILL CONTINUED WHILE TURNING JUST NOT AS MUCH AS BEFORE. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE PART TWICE!! TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE GRINDING AND TRACTION CONTROL FLASHING HE DROVE IT AROUND AND HE COULD NOT MAKE THE NOISE HAPPEN SO HE COULD NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS BRAKING ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON WHILE I DRIVE MY 2013 IMPALA LTZ. MY MECHANICS CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS NEITHER CAN ANY IMPALA OWNER OR MECHANIC. BUT I'M 99% SURE WHEN I DRIVE IT TONIGHT TO VISIT FRIENDS I WILL HEAR A METAL ON METAL GRINDING NOISE I JUST HOPE NOT WHILE IM ON THE FREEWAY WHERE I CAN GET KILLED.
