Safety ignition recall #14299.....i received recall notice from gm 8-2014 '.i took car to dealer..in which they modified top plastic portion of key with new piece with eyelet smaller and told to keep key and transmitter by itself do not add any additional keys ...my dilemma is now ignition switch itself is jamming up ..locks up,,it takes 3-4 tries to turn off...and it turning on locks up if you or on any kind of incline....bottom line this ignition switch itself was defective and quick fix was to modify top portion of key to take weight off. well gm and dealer say recall was not for ignition switch itself persay but for key...and i will be responsible for repairs/cost to replace ignition switch.....
General motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2009 ' 2010 chevrolet impala vehicles. the front passenger seat frame in these vehicles may rub against and damage the wires of the passenger presence sensor (pps) module, which could cause the pps system to fail to recognize that the passenger seat is occupied and improperly suppress the front passenger airbag. in addition, the cluster gauges and driver information center (dic) alerts may intermittently turn off or not function properly. in rare circumstances, the damage to the pps module could cause the airbag fuse to short, resulting in the loss of all airbags and seat belt pretensioners. general motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2005-2009 model year (my) buick lacrosse, 2006-2011 my buick lucerne, 2000-2005 my cadillac deville, 2007-2011 my cadillac dts, 2006-2014 my chevrolet impala and 2006-2007 my chevrolet monte carlo vehicles. if the key ring is carrying added weight and the vehicle goes off road or experiences some other jarring event, it may unintentionally move the key away from the "run" position.

My sterring wheel on my 2009 chevy impala has recently started getting stuck once the engine hs been cut off and parked. sometimes i don't have any problems turning the key and it cranks right on up while majority of the time i have to rock my steering wheel back and forth while turning the key. my tire and pressure light stays on even after i have brought new tires and a oil change. my actuator makes a clicking noise when i crank up my car and last about a minute or two then stops.

This problem started 2 years ago. my car would give me a warning "service traction control. engine power reduced." then the car would shut off. i took the car to a local mechanic where the fixed a sensor. that was around a year ago. i travel a lot for my job and today i arrived in portland oregon had pulled off the interstate to get fuel, and once i pulled out to the extremely busy intersection my car did this again! i was stopped at a stop light and once it turned green boom car died due to traction control. so now i'm in the middle of a very busy road with traffic going around 45 mph almost rear ending me. i took the key out of the ignition for about 45 seconds and tred starting it which worked. foolishly i thought i could at least make it to this parking lot right across the street when i went about 500 feet it did it again, in an even worse spot. i took the key out of the ignition again for 45 seconds started the car and got into the parking lot which was now 50 feet from me. i ...
I bought my 2009 chevrolet impala used in april 2015, and since then i have had the warning service traction control, followed by engine power reduced pop up about a dozen times, with varying lengths between incidents, but not until yesterday did the car respond in any way. yesterday i was accelerating up an interstate entrance ramp when the service traction control message popped up, then engine power reduced, and i paid little attention until quickly after the second message i realized i had no power, i had the accelerator to the floor and the car wasn't responding, the engine had shut down. so i turned on my hazard flashers and tried to pull over to the berm, but had to fight the dead steering wheel to do so, the power steering had stopped working when the engine shut down. the car wouldn't immediately restart once i had come to a stop, but after letting it sit for a few minutes, it started and i had no further issues getting home. i have read about this problem with this model vehicle here on this website, but this is the first time the engine has shut down on me after the ...
My wife and i were driving down the interstate at approximately 65 mph. a light on the dash came on saying engine power reduced. at that point my vehicle slowed down to nearly 20 mph while i was still on the interstate in moderate traffic. i pulled off to the side of the road and turned my vehicle off to try to investigate the problem. at that point my vehicle would not start for about 10 minutes. after getting my vehicle to start i immediately drove it home. this issue could have caused a very serious accident that would have injured my wife and i, but more importantly our 7 year old daughter riding in the back seat along with any one else involved. i have been on many different forums trying to figure out the cause of the problem, and it seems there are many people with this exact problem on their chevrolet impalas.
I was deriving down a steep grade on the gatlinburg bypass toward pigeon forge, tn in second gear for engine breaking. i first noticed the car getting warmer and i checked the dual climate control by feel to make sure my rider had not increased the temperature. then i noticed the steering was harder on slight curves; then i noticed the tachometer going to zero and sone other gauges decreasing; then i had to slow for a charper curve where i had no power brake assist and no powering steering assist. i managed to bring the vehicle to a safe stop where i tried to restart the engine. the vehicle restarted after a short cranking but acted if it was starving for fuel. once restarted the vehicle ran satisfactory, if i had been a weak person or had panicked this incident would probably have resulted in a crash. the ignition switch recall had recently been accomplished. the fuel level was 1/2 tank. as an electrical engineer this appeared to be an electrical problem where the engine power was cut off shutting down the fuel pump, instrument cluster, ...
