2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA Electrical System Problems

Side Blind Zone Alert (SZBA) system continues to be an issue with this vehicle. Sensing module(s) on inner left or right side of bumper cover fail due to water intrusion. When sensing module fails, "Service Side Detection System" message will appear on driver information center on instrument cluster. General Motors has previously issued a special coverage "N172097060", which is available on NHTSA website. As indicated in the special coverage document, if the issue is ignored, "the condition could result in the corruption of LS GMLAN that may result in the loss of some driver interface functions such as cluster, infotainment, displays, chime, and passenger presence detection (passenger airbag could be suppressed). Within approximately 30 days of the "Service Side Detection System" message, while driving, instrument cluster speedometer and tachometer went dead, and airbag warning system notification, anti-theft system, tire pressure monitoring system all illuminated. In addition to no speedometer reading, vehicle ignition/security interlock was causing vehicle to run rough. Vehicle would not immediately restart after shutting vehicle off. This is the 4th time a SBZA sensing module has failed on this vehicle. First failure was replaced under factory warranty, second failure was replaced under special coverage N172097060, third failure was replaced out-of-pocket. Contacted General Motors/Chevrolet, and they are not interested in providing continued coverage of the issue, which is a known issue, and likely a design defect, as the design was changed for later model years.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while her mother was starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal plastic burning odor and smoke entering the vehicle through the air vents on the center console. The contact stated that a neighbor assisted and became aware that the sun visor vanity mirror on the driver's side was melted off the visor. There was no fire. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,733.

Mileage: 130,733

GM has a know issue with the side detection system and refuses to do anything about it even after there service bulletin expired. When this fail it can cause other issues with the dashboard system failure and more. In this case the system would never shutdown draining the battery.

Complete loss of power assist steering resulting in difficulty in steering the vehicle at any speed. DIC messages indicate: loss of power steering, drive with caution, service traction control, and service ABS. ABS and traction control warning lights remain on and illuminated while driving. These indicators occur each time the vehicle is restarted. This problem originally started about two and a half months ago, and the power steering loss, for a while, was intermittent until recently. The vehicle has not been inspected been inspected by mechanics to date. I have researched hundreds of Impalas online with the same problem with a majority of them remaining unresolved and no manufacturer recall being issued. The vehicle mileage is currently 31, 104 miles and is not driven often because of the problem and the fact that I own two other vehicles.

My service air bag light comes on and passenger airbag remains off while sitting in seat.

The blind spot warning system stopped working, and yes it is available for inspection upon request. I have heard this leads to further electrical problems and am worried this may compromise my safety if not dealt with. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer. The component has not been inspected. There was a warning that popped up stating “service side detection system” that appeared randomly on my drive home the other day. I had not hit anything or done anything to the car that might have caused this.

The Side Detection System failed. Both rare modules are shorted. The defective module drain out the battery, causing engine start failure. And the defective module may cause fire. I have one side of the modules repaired in three years ago. Now both sides are failed. I had two jump start in the recent month. Every time I start the engine, warning for service of Side Detection System shows up.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The sunroof sunshade is the specific component that has malfunctioned. It is readily visible and accessible for inspection upon request. A mechanic or technician can visually inspect the sunshade to assess the extent of the damage. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Excessive sunlight in the car causes discomfort or visibility issues to the driver and passengers. Glare from the sun impairs vision causing distraction, and compromising safety, especially during bright and sunny days making it challenging to see the road, traffic signals, and other vehicles clearly. Excessive heat makes the interior uncomfortable and hot. Sunburn. Reduced visibility and distraction can increase the likelihood of accidents affecting the safety of not only the occupants of the car with the torn sunshade but also other drivers and pedestrians on the road. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? .Yes 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Routine inspections are not conducted by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives for issues like a torn sunshade. However, an insurance representative might assess the damage if I file a claim related to the sunshade issue. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Warning lamps or messages related to the sunroof sunshade are not present in most vehicles.

The stabiltrac light comes on,sometimes I lose power. Sometimes the back up camera doesn’t work. Sometimes the parking brake light comes on the dash. Then ieverything will suddenly go away and everything is fine,only to have the same problems. This has been happening for months. I took it to the dealer multiple times and they are unable to fix it.

Both taillights are leaking through a gasket in the taillights causing pooling of water in the majority of the trunk and through two layers of carpet. This is causing mold to grow in trunk.

My dealer is charging me $1606 for 2 sidevew detection modules caused by water damage and corrosion and that’s not covered under my extended warranty for my 2015 Chevy impala ltz 108k miles my cars has trouble starting and I have no working dash indicators no speed no gas no temp no rpm’s air bag light on and trac control on light . No turn indicators and no heat or ac and key fob don’t work unless I insert key fob arm rest slot all because of the sideveiw modules wow that is mind blowing $453 to diagnose and $1606 to fix

System failed suddenly stabilitrac , abs power steering, side detection all flashed on dash . Had to replace computer to restore power steering and stabilitrac and abs . Side detection a safety item still inoperative.

Service side detection notice came on, after replacing twice. While driving on the highway my speedometer dropped to zero. My odometer stopped advancing. My blinkers stopped working, as did my radio. Speedometer went to 12 (while driving at highway speeds) stayed at 12.

Side detection system is failed. Used for blind spots and I know this can cause more issues with car.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH with the cruise control activated, the cruise control feature inadvertently deactivated, and the vehicle decelerated. An unknown warning light was then illuminated. The contact was able to accelerate, and the vehicle started operating normally. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, and the contact was informed that the side detect module (B1010-00) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired, but an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 30,000.

Mileage: 30,000

2015 Chevrolet Impala Lt Vin# [XXX] 🔥infotainment center & Steering went out 2 years ago Greg Chevrolet in savannah MO told me $800 for infotainment unit only car only had diag code B127E car only 3 years old at the time still does not work! Earlier this year driving to work 70 mph steering goes out I almost hit car next to me had to muscle the car to side of road then warning light popped up to service power steering!! Very dangerous for me and any cars on the road with this car! Had mechanic do diagnostic it had 20 error codes he reset them car worked 1 day same thing over again. We paid the car off but still can't drive it and can't afford wheel bearing a new rack etc this car has now been parked in garage for fear of driving with no steering or info center and the wheel was mounted with tire backwards from dealership when we bought the car! Safety GM INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where a code reader determined that there was a defect with the dual battery control module. The mechanic recommended that the module and both batteries be replaced. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Taillight gasket failed and leaks water resulting in water leaking into trunk anytime it rains or go through car wash. This caused corrosion to the amplifier shorting it out, there is now no sound or on star available. It also caused the blind spot detection monitor to have issues and no longer work. Upon inspection when the vehicle is running the wires sometimes start smoking white. Dealer said there was no issue, obviously the radio doesn’t work, the screen doesn’t even light up, no backup camera, no sound warning if the forward collision system is engaged, no seatbelt ding, no blinker sounds, no rear detection system or cross traffic warning system.

Service blind spot detection system alert come on i took it to the dealership and paid 95.00 to diagnosis they wanted 1900.00 to fix the problem 2 weeks later while waiting for an appointment the entire system is failing Forward collision warning, Lane departure warning ,and Parking collision warning. the dealer now wants another 95.00 to re-diagnosis seeing as only the blind spot was the only warning at first. I'm being told this could lead to the vehicle shutting down even while driving

Front Right lower control arm w/o police right front wheel. Tpms system. This will be the second time I’ve had to replace the front lower control arm the tea PMS system does not work ABS traction control are off totally the same year of car make model everything was recalled to have this fixed but it was only with the police cars what makes you think that the ones that weren’t police cars didn’t have the same issue it cost $427.20 to fix. I also understand that my vehicle you’re making model it’s not the only one having this issue of having to replace it over and over as far as electrical something keeps moving or coming on or off in the car it’s worn down to batteries it happens at any time I can walk by the car and making the noise. I have to keep replacing the tires due to this all I know is that when you’re driving it more getting ready to turn it makes a loud crunching grinding noise it can happen at any time it’s getting harder to control the steering wheel. The cost of replacing the tires is ridiculous 2xs in a year or less. Gas let’s not even go there. Traction and stabilization always on along with brake assist and tpms front two tires stopped working. And once again it’s doing it. Not sure of exact date but before 2020

Side detector system

There was a recall on the SBZA in April of 2019 and we received a recall letter from GM, probably in July of 2019 but the recall was for vehicles with less than 80,000 and we had 83,000, so I never pursued recall thinking that we wouldn't qualify. We had the SBZA-Side Blind Zone Alert system replaces in December of 2019, at a big cost to us of $1000, at local Chevrolet dealer. The new detection system only lasted about 15-16 months or March-April of 2021 before it started acting up again. When I called the Chevrolet dealer up to complain about the problem, they told me that there was only a 1 year warranty on brand new part and it being over 1 year old now, it was out of warranty!! Arrgghh!! We left it at that and it didn't cause too much of a hassle as I turned off detection system, using car radio settings and we only had a message on dash, which we could turn off and live with as we didn't have another $1000, out of our pocket, to get fixed. Then in November of 2021 and onwards, the light on drivers mirror would come on, stay on or blink off and on but doesn't always stay on. Now as of February 26 2022, we are having many of the same issues and things happening, that we had back in 2019, where the car is hard to start, dash doesn't work properly along with many safety warning lights coming on the dash, sounds, speedometer not working, no radio, no turn signals, no HVAC, windows don't function properly, etc, etc. It usually goes away, after 10 minutes or so, then is normal again, then goes berserk again, off and on. This is now happening more often each day and is a huge safety issue, esp with our daughter using the car now, to get back and forth to work. She has panicked each time this happens. We bought car with 72,000 miles on it back in May of 2018 and it currently only has 126,300 miles on it. We love this car otherwise as it's been a real great car but now with this stupid problem again and so soon, we are not sure what to do. Thank you very much.

It appears that my vehicle had a special coverage bulletin titled “N172097060 - Special Coverage Side Blind Zone Alert Module Water Intrusion” This special coverage only covered vehicles for 6 years or 80,000 miles. This week I started experiencing problems with my vehicles side blind zone alert system. From everything that I have read it appears to be the same issue that led to the special coverage mentioned above being issued. However, my vehicle is now outside of the specified coverage limitations. I believe that it should still be covered as it still remains a safety issue. Regardless of how many years or miles have passed. Thank you.

Side detection system has failed. This detection system is vital to the safety of the vehicle. This is because there are blind spots inherent in the cars design that the side detection system corrects. My Impala LTZ is 6 1/2 years old with just under 30,000 miles.

Blind side collision monitor is not functioning properly due to faulty design which allows moisture to get into cabin where the monitor is installed. Causing the collision feature not to function properly and "service side collision" msg to show on the dashboard. I had this issue before and had it repaired by the dealer on 03/2019. The problem has since returned. But this time it's caused the functions on the dashboard ( gas, h/c and speed meters, digital monitor screen etc) to stop working where I can't tell if I have gas or my driving speed or anything associated with the dashboard info system, it blacks out. And now the alert light on the door mirrors continuously stay on even when there's no car on the side of my vehicle and even when the car is turned off. I took it back to the dealership and have been told that the collision monitor sensors AGAIN need to be replaced.

The blind sensor indicators are defective. The right side stays on but the the left side worked accordingly. Without warning the indicator on the left also stopped working. GM is well aware of the issue but will only fix the issue if it happens within a warranty timeframe. The initial issue with mine happened while driving in a winter storm with slushy roads. The sensors that stays illuminated isn't as much as a safety issue as the one that was lighting up as expected then stopped without warning. This item should be a full recall not a fix it if it breaks scenario. Mine stopped working within my warranty timeframe but because I was a secondary purchaser, I had no way of knowing that waiting until my next oil change would cause me to be stuck with $800 in repairs because GM refused to recall a safety issue item they are well aware of.

WENT TO PICK MY DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL. CAME BACK AND PARKED MY CAR AS USUAL. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY CAR THE ENGINE RULED UP AND THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I OBSERVED THE VEHICLE MOTOR NOTIFICATION LIGHT ON AS WELL AS THE PARKING BRAKE NOTIFICATION WITH A TOOL ( WRENCH) UNDERNEATH. I ATTEMPTED TO DISENGAGE THE BRAKE AND IT SAID THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN RELEASED. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE NOTIFICATION SIGNAL IS STILL FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE DRIVING LIKE THE BRAKES ARE STILL ENGAGED.

WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON AND NOT IN MOTION THE DASH DISPLAYS A SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM MESSAGE AND THE BLIND SPOT DETECTORS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT LIGHT UP LIKE THEY SHOULD WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED. WHEN DRIVING, AT ANY SPEED AND ON ANY ROADS OR HIGHWAY, THE BLIND SPOT DETECTORS DO NOT LIGHT. WHEN ASSESSED BY A CHEVY MECHANIC THE SIDE DETECTION SENSORS WERE SWOLLEN AND . CORRODED. THIS SENSOR IS IN AN AREA WHERE IT IS UNPROTECTED FROM THE SNOW AND SALT. IT WILL COST ALMOST $2,000 TO REPLACE TWO SENSORS. IF NOT REPLACED I'M AFRAID THAT MY VEHICLES WILL START CATCHING FIRE OR HAVING OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS LIKE OTHER 2015 IMPALA OWNERS HAD HAPPEN TO THEM IN THE PAST DUE TO THESE CORRODED SENSORS.

ELECTRICAL MODULE (SIDE DETECTION) HAS FAILED TWICE. HAVE TO DRIVE TO GET REPAIR WITH NO GAUGES, SIGNALS, OR HEAT. THIS COULD EASILY BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR WAS PARKED, UPON STARTING, GOT SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES INCLUDING SIDE DETECTION ISSUE, AIR BAG FAILURE, TIRE INFLATION FAILURE. NO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, HEAT - BUT THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT ELECTRICAL HEAT STILL WORK!

THE SIDE DETECTION MODULES IN MY 2015 IMPALA HAVE GONE BAD FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. THEY WERE REPLACED IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. THIS WAS MOSTLY COVERED THROUGH A SPECIAL "RECALL" TO REPAIR AND PREVENT A REOCCURRENCE OF THE FAILURE. NOW, IN DECEMBER ON 2020, I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME CONDITION. THEY DID NOT REPAIR THE MODULES TO PREVENT THE SAME CONDITION FROM ARISING AGAIN. THEY GET WET BECAUSE OF A BAD DESIGN AND FAULT OUT, LEADING TO CAR SHUTTING DOWN OR EVEN FIRE FROM HARNESS TO MODULES CONNECTION. GENERAL MOTORS AND/OR THE DEALERSHIP (SUBURBAN CADILLAC, NOW SHAHEEN CADILLAC OF LANSING MI) SIMPLY REPLACED DISFUNCTIONAL PARTS WITH THE EXACT SAME DISFUNCTIONAL PARTS. A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO CONTINUOUSLY REPAY FOR A POSSIBLY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT THE COMPANY IS QUITE AWARE OF. I TRULY HOPE THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THIS IN THE FUTURE. THE REFUSAL TO ACCEPT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS DUE TO NEGLIGENT DESIGN AND INADEQUATE FIXES IS EVEN MORE ENRAGING.

BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM WARNING SENSOR (OBJECT SENSOR/ CONTROL MODULE) ON MY VEHICLE HAS GONE OUT. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASH GOES BLACK. THEN IT CUTS BACK ON GOING HAYWIRE, ALL SORTS OF LIGHTS AND WARNINGS CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE CAR OUT, TURNING IT OFF TO SEE IF A RESTART WOULD FIX THE ISSUE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SO I HAD TO TOW TO THE DEALER WHICH IN THIS PANDEMIC WAS CLOSED. WHEN THE GUY AT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS BAD HE SAID IT GOES BAD FROM GETTING WET. CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO GET WET NO? AFTER LOOKING ONLINE SOMEONE SAID THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND REDESIGNED THE PART TO WORK BETTER, YET THEY WANT ME TO PAY ALMOST $1000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY FIXED FOR THE SAME REASON. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

I HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPLACED. I EVEN ASKED IF THERE WAS A WAY TO ASSURE THAT THIS WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDN'T, BEHOLD IT'S BACK BUT NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOT HAPPY AND CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE A ELECTRICAL FIRE WHILE IT IS PARKED IN MY GARAGE OR HAVE A ISSUE WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY.

I HAVE A CHEVY IMPALA 2015 WITH 1401K MILES. I AM EXPERIENCING GM BULLETIN N172097060 SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT MODULE WATER INTRUSION ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALER (MACMULKIN CHEVROLET IN NASHUA) AND GM THAT MY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY CAR HAS EXCEEDED THE 80K MILES. I TOLD THEM THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE THE NOTICE UNTIL MY CAR WELL EXCEEDED THE 80K MILEAGE. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING EXTREMELY WORSE. IT'S EFFECTING THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF THE CAR. THE CAR'S INSTRUMENT PANEL IS FLASHING ALL OF THE SENSOR ALERTS INTERMITTENTLY AND MY CAR WILL NOT START UNTIL I HAVE IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY CLEAR THE FAULTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

"SIDE AIRBAG WARNING SYSTEM" INDICATION. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE OBJECT DETECTION MODULE AND WIRE HARNESS HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR GM VEHICLES. THE MODULES ARE LOCATED IN A POSITION THAT HAS NO PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS. TO MAKE IT WORSE, THE MODULE ACTUALLY HAS A VENT THAT ALLOWS MOISTURE TO INFILTRATE THE MODULE. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF. GM ISSUED A LETTER TO OWNERS OF EFFECTED VEHICLES BUT IF YOU DIDN'T GET A LETTER YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. THE LETTER IS SPECIFIC ABOUT MOISTURE INFILTRATION OF THE MODULE AND OFFERS AN UPGRADED KIT TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERS HAVE NO IDEA THIS LETTER EXISTS BECAUSE IT'S TECHNICALLY NOT A RECALL. IN A NUTSHELL, GM IS AWARE THIS SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS IN THEIR VEHICLES BUT ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO AVOID DOING THE RIGHT THING AND REPAIR UNDER A RECALL. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, THIS IS THE 3RD MODULE THAT HAS GONE BAD. EACH REPLACEMENT IS $983.00. I'M BUYING A TOYOTA! GM CARS ARE AWFUL AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WORSE!

I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY AND THEY CONFIRMED OVER 30 CODES WERE THROWN. LOOKS LIKE A BAD DESIGN ON THE SENSORS THEMSELVES ALLOWS CORROSION OVER TIME ESPECIALLY IN COLDER CLIMATES LIKE MINE.

THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS COMMON AMONG PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS YEAR AND BRAND!

THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATES WHILE DRIVING, ELECTRICAL FAILURES CAUSE COMPONENTS TO NOT WORK AND FLICKER OF TURN SIGNALS IN PASSENGER MIRROR .

OUR SAFETY ISSUE STARTED WITH COLLISION SENSORS COMING ON WHEN NO ONE WAS IN A LANE NEXT TO US. THEN THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON IN SIDE THE VEHICLE AFTER CAR WAS SHUT OFF. PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 35,000. PROBLEM SELF CORRECTED, HOWEVER AT 36,100 MILES THE SENSOR FOR INDICATING CARS IN THE BLIND SPOTS ON RIGHT SIDE OF CAR COMPLETELY FAILED. IF YOU HAVE EVER DRIVEN A 2015 IMAPA ONE WILL QUICKLY NOTICE THE LARGE BLIND SPOT AREAS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE SAFETY DEVICES. STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH KEY FOB, THEFT SYSTEM, RADIO, ETC AT 40,900 MILES. THIS BECAME A MUST FIX NOW. A MODULE KIT HAS BEEN ORDERED (02195-C) AND THIS IS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. BAD SENSOR OR SENSORS IN THE BUMPER. PART IS ON BACK ORDER SO THIS INDICATES TO ME THE PROBLEM MAY BE A BIT MORE WIDE SPREAD IMPACTING CHEVY OWNERS AND THERE SAFETY. NOW OF CONCERN I READ THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITHIN CHEVY BUT THE VEHICLE PROBLEM WAS NOT ADDRESSED IN NEW MODELS OR FIXED FOR FREE IN A TIMELY MANNER. HOPEFULLY THIS BECOMES A RECALL ITEM AND ADVERTISED TO CURRENT OWNERS.

MY WHOLE COMPUTER SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE THUS NOT BEING ABLE TO START MY CAR. AFTER GETTING MY CAR STARTED, I DID NOT HAVE ANY GAUGES, LIGHTS,NOTHING. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING

MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT FIRST SAID SERVICE SIDE DETECTION, NOW I NO LONGER HAVE BLIND SPOT DETECTION, FRONT CAMERA OR ANY OF THE OTHER SAFETY FEATURES I PAID EXTRA TO HAVE. ITS BECAUSE THE COMPUTER FOR IT IS PLACED NON WEATHER PROTECTED IN THE BUMPER OF THE CAR AND AFTER IT GETS EXPOSED TO OUR WEATHER IT RUINS IT. IT'S A PRICEY FIX THAT WILL JUST KEEP GETTING RUINED. ITS A FAULTY ERROR ON CHEVYS END THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. WHEN MINE FIRST WENT OUT I READ ABOUT MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I JUST KEEP WAITING HOPING THAT CHEVY WILL STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING. THIS IS MY 3RD IMPALA I HAVE OWNED, I ALWAYS SWORE THEY WOULD BE MY ONLY CAR BUT NOW THIS WILL BE MY LAST IMPALA I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER ONE. WAY TOO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS.

OCCASIONALLY THE DASH AND RADIO GO ALL BLACK, GETTING NO POWER. WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING SUNROOF, IT WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE. IT EITHER STOPS COMPLETELY OR WILL STOP AND GO IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS THE BUTTON PUSHED. WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKE TO PUSH START, THE BRAKE GETS SUPER HARD AND THE DASH PANEL WILL SAY, 'PRESS BRAKE TO START.' I AM PRESSING THE BRAKE! MOST RECENTLY, 'SIDE DETECTION' IS DISPLAYING ON DASH PANEL AND BLIND SPOT LIGHTS ARE NOT LIGHTING UP ON MIRRORS. I'VE READ A NUMBER OF SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE WITH THE SAME YEAR. I HAD THIS CAR BACK 7X FOR WATER GETTING IN THE TRUNK. IT LAYS WHERE THE SPARE TIRE IS AND THE CARPET ABOVE IS NEVER WET. EVERY-TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. OH AND IT STILL IS GETTING WATER IN THE TRUNK. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO! JUST YESTERDAY I WAS STOPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN. THEN IT GAINED POWER JUST AS FAST. MY CAR ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES AND A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

I HAVE A WARNING ON THE MESSAGE CENTER ASKING TO "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" I'M FINDING THAT THE LIGHTS ON THE MIRROR WILL SOMETIMES COME ON QUICKLY FOR ONLY A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN SHUT OFF. THEY ARE DOING THIS ON RANDOM OCCASIONS AND OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I FOUND SOME WEBSITES SHOWING WHERE THESE MONITORS ARE AND HAVE FOUND THAT MINE ARE COVERED IN DIRT AND SEEM TO HAVE THE DRIED SALT "WHITE" CRUST ON THEM. MY GUESS, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS THAT THEY ARE CORRODED AND NEED REPLACING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS LOOKING INTO AS THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

THE OBJECT SENSOR MODULES THAT CONTROL SAFETY FEATURES LIKE BLIND SPOT ALERTS AND GAP ALERTS HAVE FAILED CREATING MORE PROBLEMS FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY CHEVY. MY DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS ULTIMATELY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND NOTHING I DID CREATED THIS MAJOR ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IMMEDIATELY HAD AN EFFECT ON MY DRIVING CONDITION.

Mileage: 52,000

SIDE DETECTION MODULES ARE IN AN AREA, REAR BUMPER, WHERE MOISTURE CAN SATURATE THE SENSOR/MODULE WHICH THEN CAUSES A FAULT. THE DASH DISPLAY THEN BEGINS TO FLASH AND TURN OFF AND ON. GAS PEDAL CAN ALSO BE AFFECTED, WHERE YOU CANT CONTROL ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

I WAS DRIVING ON 2-LANE ROAD AND THE RIGHT SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM (SDS) INDICATOR LIGHT IN THE SIDE MIRROR CAME ON EVEN WHEN THERE WERE NO CARS OR OBJECTS NEXT TO ME. THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED. NO WARNING MESSAGES CAME UP WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED. I TURNED THE SDS AND PARK ASSIST OFF IN SETTINGS, BUT THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I REMOVED FUSE 62 (REAR CAMERA/PARK ASSIST/SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT) IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE BLOCK TO GET THE LIGHT OFF. I REINSTALLED THE FUSE AND THE LIGHT REMAINED OFF UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR AND IT TURNED BACK ON AND STAYED ON. A FEW DAYS LATER I GOT A WARNING MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE SDS WHEN I STARTED MY CAR. THE BLIND ZONE ALERT SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON AND THE SYSTEM DID NOT WORK AT ALL EVEN WHEN VEHICLES WERE IN MY BLIND SPOT ON THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. I RECEIVED 3 WARNING MESSAGES WHEN I STARTED MY CAR. THEY SAID TO SERVICE FRONT CAMERA, PARK ASSIST AND SDS. FUSE 62 WAS BLOWN. I REPLACED THE FUSE AND IT IMMEDIATELY BLEW AGAIN. NONE OF THE DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS WORKED INCLUDING THE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM, PARK ASSIST AND REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT. I TOOK MY CAR TO LAKE GENEVA CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, WHICH REQUIRED REMOVING THE REAR BUMPER TO CHECK THE 2 SBZA MODULES MOUNTED ON THE INSIDE CORNERS OF THE BUMPER. THEY DISCOVERED CORROSION IN BOTH MODULES DUE TO WATER INTRUSION, WHICH SHORTED OUT THE ELECTRONICS. THEY SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY WATER ON THE MODULE SEAM GETTING INTO IT BY FREEZE THAW. THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH MODULES FOR A TOTAL COST INCLUDING LABOR OF $1172. THEY STATED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE IT IS THE SAME MODULE DESIGN AND DUE TO THE MOUNTING LOCATION. CHEVY HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS SINCE BEFORE 5-2017 WHEN THEY ISSUED TSB# 17-NA-154 ABOUT EXACT PROBLEM.

STARTED WITH SIDE DETECTION LIGHT NOT GOING OFF. THEN SERVICE FOR SIDE DETECTION CAME ON. WITHIN A WEEK I HAD MULTIPLE ERRORS AND SERVICES SUCH AS REAR CAMERA, FRONT CAMERA, COLLISON PREP, PARK ASSIST. REPLACED FUSES EVEN THOUGH NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THEM. SAME LIGHTS. AS THE DAYS GO ON... I AM EXPERIENCING TROUBLES WITH CAR STARTING HAVING TO MANUALLY START/INSERT FOB INTO CENTER CONSOLE. HEATING AND ELECTRICAL INSIDE CAR NOT WORKING, STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IT WAS FOGGY AND OBVIOUSLY I COULDN'T DEFROST MY WINDOWS. RESTARTED CAR NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEN HEAT POPPED BACK ON. ALSO IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT STATES KEY FOB NOT DETECTED AND IT'S LITERALLY IN THE CUP HOLDER. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY RECENTLY AT THE DEALER SO IT IS NOT A FAULTY FOB OR BATTERY. MY TRUNK HAS BEEN JUST POPPING OPEN FOR NO REASON AND SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT ALSO WHILE STATIONARY. FOR SOME REASON MY POWER STEERING IS NOW ACTING LIKE IT IS OUT OF FLUID AND GRINDING HOWEVER ALL FLUID IS FULL. IT SEEMS TO BE ALL ELECTRICAL AND VERY SCARY AND UNPREDICTABLE.

INITIAL WARNING LIGHT WAS "SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" BUT THEN RESULTED MASS ELECTRICAL FAILURE. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WERE LIT UP. ALL THE GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD WERE AT ZERO. THE FOLLOWING VEHICLE MESSAGES WERE TRIGGERED: SERVICE FRONT CAMERA, SERVICE PARK ASSIST, SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM, SERVICE AIRBAG, SERVICE TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM. I SPORADICALLY LOST POWER IN THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET CERTIFIED SERVICE AND AFTER 3 HOURS THEY INDICATED THEY REPLACED A COUPLE BLOWN FUSES AND THAT ALL SYSTEMS WERE UP AND RUNNING EXCEPT THE "SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM". AT THAT POINT, I HAD TO LEAVE AND GO TO WORK. WITHIN THE DAY, I WAS BACK A SQUARE ONE WITH ALL OF THE SAME ISSUES. AFTER TAKING IT BACK A SECOND TIME, THEY INDICATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE "REAR SI MODULE" IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO, AFTER IT ALL I WAS WITHOUT A CAR FOR 5 TOTAL DAYS AND STUCK WITH A BILL OF $1600. THIS EXACT ISSUE IS REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES SPECIFICALLY ON THIS SITE. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

2015 CHEVY IMPALA SIDE BLIND ZONE LEFT SIDE ALERT FAILED TO WORK, AND ACCORDING TO MY CHEVROLET SERVICE SHOP IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE NOT STARTING, THE ENGINE KILLING AFTER STARTING REMOTELY, AND THE CAUSE OF MASS COMMUNICATION FAILURE ALERTS WITH AND BETWEEN THE VEHICLE'S OTHER SAFETY AND NON SAFETY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. NONE OF THE CARS DASH GAGES WORKED FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER THE MASS ALERT HAPPENED. 10 MILES AFTER I HAD THE LEFT SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT REPLACED, I RECEIVED AN ALERT THAT A BLIND ZONE ALERT NEEDED SERVICE. IT TURNS OUT THE RIGHT SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT FAILED AFTER HAVING THE LEFT SIDE REPLACED. MY DAUGHTER HAS THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE AND SHE IS GETTING THE SERVICE BLIND SIDE ALERT ALERT AFTER HAVING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MODULES REPLACES A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. THE COST TO REPLACE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT MODULES IS OVER $1400. THE MASS SYSTEM FAILURE ALERTS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND ENGINE RUNNING.

SIDE COLLISION DETECTION SENSORS GO OUT AND IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. ALL MY WARNING SENSORS WENT OUT BEFORE, LUCKILY THIS WAS JUST A FUSE. BUT THE SIDE DETECTION IS STILL. PEOPLE PAY EXTRA MONEY FOR THESE SAFETY FEATURES AND THEY SHOULD WORK! MINE WENT OUT ABOUT 1000 MILES OVER 36000 MILE WARRANTY AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED DOESN'T COVER THIS. PASSENGER SIDE DETECTION WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING. ALL OTHER CAR WAS STATIONARY. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED THESE CAN CAUSE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS IN THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM IF NOT FIXED. I CAN FIND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS LABOUR THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

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.

I BOUGHT MY CAR WITH 11K ON IT. IT WAS A DEALER USED CAR THAT HAD NEVER BEEN REGISTERED FOR THE ROAD. I HAD A 2009 CADILLAC, SO THIS IS WHAT I COMPARED THIS CAR TOO THEN. THE PASSENGER WIPER BLADE HAS "SCRATCHED" THE WINDSHIELD WHERE IT STOPS TO RETURN BACK DOWN. THIS HAS CAUSED A PERMANENT MARK IN THE WINDSHIELD, THE LENGTH OF THE BLADE. THIS BLOCKS YOUR VISION AT THE WORST TIME; WHEN IT IS RAINING OR SNOWING. NEXT UP ARE THE SAFETY FEATURE CONTROL LOCATIONS WHICH WERE VERY POORLY DESIGNED. THERE ARE 5? DIFFERENT ONES. TWO ARE ON THE LEFT DASH AREA, BUT OBSTRUCTED BY THE STEERING WHEEL. ANOTHER ONE IS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, NEXT TO OTHER CONTROLS AND I'VE TURNED IT OFF BY ACCIDENT. THERE ARE OTHERS, NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE, BUT YOU HAVE TO OPERATE THE DRIVER INFO CENTER BY SEVERAL CLICKS TO ACCESS THEM. NOT VERY CONSISTENT. THE HORN IS MORE DIFFICULT TO OPERATE THAN ANY OTHER CAR IN MY LIFE! IN THE PAST, IF YOU PUSH THE LITTLE HORN ICON, IT BLOWS. WITH THIS CAR, YOU MUST PUSH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WHEEL; I FOUND THIS OUT BY TESTING IT OVER AND OVER. THE HORN WILL NOT WORK IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION BY MOST PEOPLE. SPEAKING OF COVERED CONTROLS BY THE STEERING WHEEL, THE START/STOP BUTTON IS OBSCURED UNLESS YOU TURN THE WHEEL OR LEAN SIDEWAYS. IF YOU JUST PULL INTO YOUR DRIVEWAY NORMAL, YOU CAN'T SEE IT. THE EMERGENCY 4-WAY FLASHER BUTTON IS NEXT TO THE START BUTTON, AND IS ALSO OBSCURED BY THE STEERING WHEEL. ELECTRICAL, MINOR BUT ANNOYING ISSUES INCLUDE THE HVAC SYSTEM AND MUSIC STORAGE. THIS THE THE WORST SYSTEM I HAVE EVER SEEN. IN ALMOST ANY CLIMATE (40'S DOWN TO BELOW ZERO), I HAVE TO TURN THE TEMP FROM 90, DOWN TO 66 TO STAY COMFORTABLE. TO USE AUTO-START, I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO PRESET ALL THE CONTROLS HOW I WANT THEM SET FOR THE NEXT MORNING! THE AUDIO MAKES UP ITS OWN SONG LISTS. THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT BE ON A 2015 CAR! I COULD GO ON EVEN MORE!

LATENT DEFECT IN CHEVROLET 2015 IMPALA IGNITION SYSTEMS THAT GM (GENERAL MOTORS) WILL NOT FIX. THE KEYLESS ENTRY FOB WAS REDESIGN FROM PART NUMBER GM/L 22733524 TO PART NUMBER GM 13584829, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN ALL THE PUSH BUTTON SWITCHES NOW RAISED ABOVE THE KEYLESS HOUSING. WITH RAISE SWITCHES ABOVE THE HOUSING, THE TRUNK CAN INADVERTENTLY OPEN WHEN THE FOD IS IN SOMEONES POCKET. THE CAR TRUNK CAN INADVERTENTLY OPEN WHEN THE FODS SWITCH, WHICH IS IN SOMEONES POCKET, IS INADVERTENTLY PRESSED AGAINST SOMETHING WITHOUT THE OWNERS KNOWLEDGE. FOR EXAMPLE: THIS HAS HAPPEN BY JUST SETTING IN A CHAIR WHEN THE FOB PRESSES AGAINST THE CHAIR, OR WHEN LEANING AGAINST SOMETHING LIKE A TABLE OR WALL WITH THE LOWER PART OF THE BODY. GMS OLD KEYLESS ENTRY FOBS SWITCH WERE RECESSED BELOW THE KEYLESS ENTRY FODS HOUSING AND THE OLD DESIGN DID NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH INADVERTENTLY OPENING THE TRUNK. I OWN A 2009 CHEVY COBALT THAT HAS THE OLD KEYLESS ENTRY FOB . THIS MAJOR LATENT DEFECT WILL EXPOSE ELECTRICAL WIRING, AND PERSONAL ITEMS IN THE TRUNK TO RAIN STORMS WHEN THE TRUNK INADVERTENTLY OPENS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THE CAR OWNER. I CONTEND THAT CHEVROLET LIKELY DID NOT TEST THE CAR WITH THE TRUNK OPEN WHEN RAINING. FURTHERMORE, THE TRUNK CAN INADVERTENTLY OPEN WHILE SHOPPING WITHOUT THE OWNERS KNOWLEDGE RESULTING IN GIFTS, FOOD, AND PERSONAL ITEMS EASILY STOLEN OR DAMAGE BY RODENTS. I E-MAILED AND CALLED CHEVROLET ABOUT THE LATENT DEFECT. I TALKED TO A JENNIFER AT GM (COMPLAINT NUMBER 8-154-782-3093) PHONE NUMBER 866-790-5700 EXT 5921542 ON 1 SEPTEMBER 2015. JENNIFER TOLD ME THAT GM HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND WOULD ONLY FIX THE LATENT DEFECT IF GM RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. SHE DID NOT SAME HOW MANY COMPLAINTS GM NEEDED MAYBE 150% OF CAR OWNERS COMPLAINING OR 2,000S OF CAR FIRES!
