My car has worked fine scince i bought it with no check engine codes.i pulled into parking space and put car in park,all of a sudden it stalled out and will not crank anymore but has power.key will not come out of ignition and battery will not shut off.the ignition switch is a very common problem with impalas and is very dangerous.it locks people out of there cars,gets stuck in gears,wont let key release,wont start,sets off anti theft signal which cuts power to door locks,trunk,starter,fuelpump,and more.i have read hundreds of forums of this problem with chevy impala that has been going on for years without the problem being fixed.elderly women breaking down on highway or car just shutting off and not restarting.it is soooooo common with chevy that they can diagnose the problem just over the phone.this is very unacceptable and has to be dealt with.please recall this problem.
The abs light on traction control does not work key comes out of the ingiton causeing the car to stall front passenger air bag is turned off
Service air bag light intermittently illuminates and resolves itself. complete failure of instrument cluster and hvac suddenly with engine running. this appears to be consistent with gm recall #36110. contacted gm for further action and was told this vehicle not included with recall despite same issue as described for recall. the airbag light happens with adult front passenger, not while seat is empty, and while vehicle is in motion.
Vehicle will not start. all electrical things work, the lights, dashboard, etc.. but there is no power to starter. this vehicle has 150000 miles on it and has had 6 new batteries installed. the no start issue was believed to be occurring after car was brought through car wash during very cold temps outside, but this is not the issue now. now it starts sometimes and will not start at other times.
The rear window defogger quit working. my shop found that the defogger had lost its ground function in the fuse block in the engine compartment. the fuse block had to be replaced in its entirety costing over 200 dollars. i do not know exactly when the defogger failed.

My service airbag sensor light had been on since i purchased my car a year ago, i am going to sell it but i didn't want to sell it with something that has to do with safety being questionable. i drove it to auto nation yesterday june 11th to see if it was a recall. they said there hasn't been one. i drove it home and started searching online for possible problems with it and there were so many posts about this issue. i searched under the passenger seat because that's what i read to do and low and behold all types of wires under it are completely severed and torn up. i was going to fix this myself but i really don't want to be held liable in case of accident or injury. this must be fixed and it's my belief that it's caused by the vehicle design. please hold chevrolet responsible for this repair as it is very dangerous for both the passenger and possibly everyone else in the vehicle. thank you very much for looking into this. i also believe that when a person calls a dealer telling then exactly what they found d (i called lenlyle ...
My wiring on my passenger seat sensor is faulty! it sometimes detects randomly that someones there, when nobody is there and thus turns the airbags on and off constantly. i have to keep the passenger side seat belt buckled, otherwise it will mess up my sensors. i've had my airbags shut off and a notification appear before so it's quite scary and definitely a safety hazard. i know this is a known recall, but i believe since i have a "police package" a recall for my car was never initiated, even though it has the problem.
As i was driving home the car went into shutdown mode. the car would not accelerate and the dashboard cluster read, traction control system failure, and a few other things that i did not get to read because i was watching the road. then the temperature gauge went to the max, and the car was not overheating at all. i shut the car off checked all fluids started the car back up and tried to get going and the car would not accelerate. after a few minutes i managed to get the car back home and a few months later it happens again. i went to edmunds forum and there are dozens of the same complaints for the same thing.
I was driving home from work and i was doing 55 mph,and the car started to hesitate,and the dashboard info read stabilitrac, engine safty mod, and reduced power. then the car started to slow down,and when i tried to give it some gas the engine started to knock,and the temperature gauge went all the way up to the top. i pulled over and shut the car off,and opened the hood, and it wasn't even over heating. after letting it sit for a few minutes i started it up and went about five hundred feet and it did it again.
I was sitting in the parking lot with my engine running for about 10 mind. all a sudden 'reduced engine power' came across my dash and my service engine light came on. i turned my car off. about an hour later i turned it back on and the message was gone. then as i was driving down the road my service air bag light came on. it only comes on when the passenger seat beat is clicked on. and my driver side back door auto lock stopped working.
A recent problem with the rear window defogger has unfolded a problem with a wiring harness that powers the window. gm never installed a fuse on the rear window defogger causing the wire to heat up and burn away the slot it sits in on the wire harness. inspecting my wire harness, the heat from the wire has melted almost entirely through the connector which is very dangerous and likely to cause a fire on the passenger side of the car underneath the carpet and fuse panel.
I have a 2010 chevy impala and it has the airbag issue which it has a recall but when i call chevy they say michael vehicles not affected even though it's has the same exact is shoes with the passenger seat in the wires as the recall. when i call chevy it only shows one recall for the ignition switch and they want to charge me to fix the airbag issue but there's a recall for servings 2009 and 2010 chevy impala
