The brakes continue to malfunction I am unsure if a previous recall was fixed properly or not the Chasis electrical system has been fixed with electrical tape only the transmission and stability track and anti lock brake system error light with go off from time to time when it does and the more it’s driven the worse the issues get these are all recalls and the problems still persist are we confident that the recalls have been corrected

Fourth time I had submitted this text so this one will be vague. I've had to Repair my stuts and shocks and brakes to my vehicle due to ongoing issues with tires while divingand hitting small speesbumps and potholes. I did replace low performance tires and still was an issue with my struts and shocks when I drive causing me to hit a bump or a small hole and diverts me to the next lane of ongoing traffic also I had to my battery replaced twice. To find out that it was only due to corrosion and the battery cables slipping was frustrating cause I did replace the battery and key fob battery already. Car wouldn't start and when it did it took forever hours to restart and engine still seems to get bogged down In ongoing traffic. Which was the prior issue no power no matter how hard i press the gas. I took to autozone and they did a reading which came back that everything was okay including the battery which was obviously not okay. It was leaking fluid and i have already replaced year and half ago due to same issue. They cables seem to slip over time on its own. What to do? Thank you for your time to look into this issue. Kindest Regards

I have taken it in on several occasions and been told there is no active code. My transmission control module constantly looses communication. Through my research I have found numerous accounts of this part failing and GM not repairing it, nor issuing a safety recall. I took the vehicle in and was told it was a common failure. The failure of this part has put myself and my children in danger, the computer failure causes the car to randomly shift gears while driving jerk violently and completely shut off at times. Currently it is stuck in 1 gear. I am a single parent, I am scared to travel with my children in the car, anywhere including school and medical appointments. This issue happens while driving the vehicle at all speeds including highway speeds. The last time I took it in the dealer stated, the vehicle was not safe to drive they notified my warranty company, which took 2 weeks to look at the vehicle at which time I was told that the fault code was not active but only in the history of the computer and they refused to repair it. Being that this is a known issue by GM I believe a safety recall should be issue before someone is hurt or killed, if they havent been already. The service advisor informed me that they were instructed to clear the codes from my OBD let the car sit and see if the issue returned. This issue has affected multiple GM vehicles yet they refuse to make the repair necessary to make the vehicle safe. questions; 1)TCM fails, yes it is available for inspection. 2) vehicle randomly shifts through gears including park, at all speeds. causing car to jerk violently, shut off or get stuck in 1 gear. It has shut off while traveling at 75 MPH on the high with my children in the car on multiple occasions. 3)yes at covert chevy in hutto, tx. even the service department was scared to drive it. 4) I dont know what the dealer inspected. 5)yes service stabilitrack and power steering and check engine light with code U0101

IT WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN 2014 FOR STABILITRAK FOR BAD GROUNDS ON MY CHEVY IMPALA AND I WENT TO CHEVY ABOUT IT AND PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS TO CHECK AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT I NEEDED. ALSO, THE PAPER DOESN'T TELL ME I NEEDED A TRANSMISSION FIXED, SO I TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE GROUND THAT WAS BAD. BUT I WAS NOT PAYING FOR IT AND IT WAS A RECALL ISSUED IN 2014 THAT IS HAPPENING AND IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHERS AS WELL. I CALLED THE GM AND ASKED IF ITS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT SINCE IT WAS UNDE RECALL THEY ARE SAYING NO. AND THE I HAVE TO GO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AGAIN SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT IT IS BECAUSE IT MAY NOT BE SAME AND I DID BEFORE AND CHEVY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THE OTHER SHOPS SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS IN GREAT SHAPE IT WAS THE GROUNDS THATS BAD AND THAT IF THE ISSUE WAS UNDER A RECALL IT SHOULD BE DONE AGAIN. I TAKE THIS AS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER AND IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION . SO I HAVE MY SON PICKING ME FOR WORK.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND THEN REGAIN POWER WHILE ACCELERATING AND ALSO WHILE STILL IN MOTION EVEN WHILE NOT CURRENTLY ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A ROCKER ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART (#12633613) IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME PER GM WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SAFE TO DRIVE AND SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE OCTOBER 15TH 2019, IT IS CURRENTLY JANUARY 8TH 2020. THIS PART IS AN ISSUE FOR ALL 2014 AND 2015 IMPALA AND MALIBU VEHICLES WITH THE ENGINE TYPE IN THE 2014 IMPALA LS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFERRED TO THE GM PART AS BEING DEFECTIVE YET GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. GM REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE PART AND WILL NOT EVEN CONFIRM IF IT WILL EVER BE PRODUCED AGAIN. THIS ISSUE IS EFFECTING THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES AND GM'S FAILURE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IS LEAVING THE OWNERS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES DRIVING UNSAFE VEHICLES. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL OR MANUFACTURE MORE OF THE PART IF IT IS SIMPLY A PRODUCTION ISSUE (WHICH THEY WILL NOT CONFIRM OR DENY).
