When driving, loss of power steering, abs, stabilitrack. this is a huge safety problem. this issue does not matter on road conditions. it happens whenever. the ring on the back of the wheel bearing gets weather elements behind it (mostly talking about water in the winter then freezes). this cause the ring to break. once this ring is broke. i am assuming the abs cant keep track of the vehicle's motion. it then throws the codes. to tell do a visible inspection looking for the ring to be compromised. don't worry your wheel bearing might not be bad. you just have to go to chevy and spend 190$ on a new wheel bearing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. while driving 50 mph, the abs and service power steering warning indicators illuminated, causing the steering wheel to seize. the contact pulled over, shut off the vehicle, restarted the vehicle, and the failure went away. two days later, the steering failed and the warning indicators illuminated again. the vehicle was driven to the local dealer (walker chevrolet, carothers pkwy, franklin, tn, 37067) while manually controlling the steering wheel. the vehicle was diagnosed that the rear passenger wheel bearing failed and that there was no connection to the power steering. the rear passenger bearing hub and assembly were replaced. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: [xxx]. the dealer reassured the manufacturer that the vehicle was repaired; however, no further assistance was offered. the failure mileage was approximately 70,017. *bf information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
At about 85,000 miles i am getting a grinding noise from the left front side. dealer said it was bearings, which i had replaced at a private garage. now the sound is back after only a thousand miles or so. typically, it happens at low speed, and mostly when turning left.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. while driving 30 mph, the abs light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer who diagnosed and replaced the left magnetic ring, which had detached from the vehicle. while driving approximately 30 mph again, the abs light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the same dealer who diagnosed and replaced the passenger side hub assembly, which fell off. the vehicle was fully repaired. the failure mileage was 41,500. updated 09/18/15*lj
The gm factory installed 20" wheels rub on the wheel wells when cornering. impacts steering and could wear tires. the clearence should be measured + investigated on 2014 impala vehicles with the 20" premium wheels installed. *tr
While traveling at highway speed in light blowing snow, vehicle began to vibrate. vibration was extreme and constant. after contacting two chevrolet dealerships we were advised it was a common problem with snow building up on rims. we were advised to power wash the inside of the rims. this was done and the problem was fixed. during the approximate 800 mile trip in and out of snow this had to be done twice. chevrolet was contacted and we were advised there was nothing they could do. the vibration becomes violent enough that highway speeds are not obtainable and the vehicle is hard to control. this forced us to travel below the posted minimum freeway speed until an exit with a power wash available. *tr
