2016 Chevrolet Impala Problems

The Side Detection System Modules are preventing the vehicle blind spot system to work correctly. and the vehicle takes 5, 10, 15 + attempts to start up.

When my car is exposed to water (rain, a car wash) the trunk completely floods and does not drain. It has flooded so much now that my amplifier does not work. I took my vehicle to Chevy to have the known recall on this vehicle repaired but Chevy claims that they will not do anything for me. I am afraid that the car can potentially catch fire and burn my home down as I park this car in my driveway. With this being a known recall for this vehicle, can I please have this fixed immediately!!!! I have already replaced my tools that have been damaged, please just have this fixed or id likely take further steps after this. I have been going back and forth with GMC and Chevy for over 7 days now! Just recently, my car was producing sparks from the trunk area, THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!

The contact owned a 2016 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH and turning into a parking lot, the vehicle lost power and there was black smoke coming from the right side of the engine compartment. The contact then parked the vehicle and opened the hood, and there were flames coming from the engine compartment. The Fire Department arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire. A Police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

My vin should have been included in this: N182186881-01 - Special Coverage Evaporator Core Icing, Leak Revised Warranty section I have had the issue for many years due to not receiving the notice. The car leaks, hisses, smokes and does not cool at all. I was told I must only take it to them for 250 diagnostic but they also said it was a havoc reprogramming that cost the 2,500 to fix. I have a estimate from a triple a recommended mechanic that says its the evaporator coil. My miles just hit 80,000 but its been going on for years because I haven't had the money to fix it and make payments. Chevy arbitrator states the miles are low and the dealer i bought it from, Conly in Brighton Michigan, should put my vin on the recall list. They say they don't know how/will not. The arbitrator didn't give me on digit for her call back extension. I do have proof of the car having no air at 49,000 miles when a mechanic couldn't find the issue because it was to far down in the car. I don't trust taking the car to them after being diagnosed without seeing the car. BBB auto said I exceeded milage but i wouldn't have if I would have been informed asap My vin should have been in the recall. I have the same make and type of car. Why did they exclude me? I hardly drive the car and was an essential employee . everything was closed I was in the year allowed and under the miles if I would have got the notice Please help

Between 25mph and 35mph transmission will " lose " gearing and start revving when I'm stuck in traffic, causing a safety concern/risk. Have to stop the car completely and let her cool down below half operating temp for the transmission to rekick into gear. Happens Everytime after driving through cities, ATF has a slight gray tinge to it but no burning smell

I recently purchased this car, and the airbag warning light will not turn off. Meaning, something is wrong with the airbags.

I was driving and entering [XXX] at [XXX] when my power steering went completely out! I was unable to steer my vehicle at all and was on a windy road with my children in the vehicle! I pulled to the side of the road! Shut my car off waited a couple minutes and turned it back on and the problem went away! This has happened twice now. My power steering is due to it being electrical and not a fluid issue. This is extremely dangerous as you are unable to steer the vehicle at all when this happens!

I parked my car at work and worked a full day Saturday the 13th of November. I go out to start my vehicle and 3 warnings appear all at once. Stabilitrak, ABS, and power steering. Reading online I’m not the only one but with only 109,xxx miles it’s kind of BS that there’s obviously an engineering flaw with these vehicles and I probably will give a few car payments worth to get this fixed. I’ve owned this vehicle since 17,xxx miles

while driving a chevy impala at night you can barley see and i drove even new models it’s still the same

For approximately 2 months, my 2016 Impala LTZ, would display a message on the small screen in front of the driver in the dash, stating for the driver to, "press ignition button again to turn vehicle off." The worst part about it was this would happen very randomly whether I would be driving in city traffic, or be sitting in a parking lot at a local store. I took it to my local Chevrolet dealership. Five different times, because they were not able to get the occurrence to duplicate for them. They replaced the ignition, as well as other suspected parts with no resolution. Resolution. Ended up costing me over $1,200. That was the first time I took it in for this issue. The other four times didn't cost me anything because they hadn't fixed the issue. Come to find out it was a wire on the body control module that had some of the insulation sheathing removed, which then in turn caused the wire to ground out on the car's frame. Just thought I would put this out there in case anybody else goes through it because it wasn't real inconvenience.

On Fb 08 2022, at app 5:30 in the evening my 2016 Impala had a non-driver directed surge of speed. As I was slowing down to enter a driveway, the vehicle surged forward powerfully. I was able to press the brakes forcefully engaging the antilock mechanism. The vehicle shook as I continued to apply breaking force. It came to stop barely missing another vehicle parked in the driveway. I have no explanation for this dangerous episode. I had not used any type of automatic speed control. The car is serviced by authorized dealership: Hampton Chevrolet in Hampton VA. I was in the car with two of my grandaughters when the incident occurred. I was able to drive the car back without any problem, but I'm scared to drive it.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING DRIVING ON THE 91 FREEWAY GOING TO WORK AT THE SPEED, APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STOP OR IT WAS STUCK IN THE WRONG GEAR. MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING THE CAR INTO GMC WEEKS LATER THEY FINALLY DECIDED THAT WE COULD BRING THE CAR IN ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD AND THEY TEST DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND DID NOT FEEL ANY ISSUES.THAN AROUND OCTOBER I WAS DRIVING AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT POPPING UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND MAKING A BEEPING NOISE AROUND EVERY 2-3 MINUTES OF DRIVING. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP(PENSKE CHEVROLET IN CERRITOS AUTO SQUARE) THE TECHNICIAN UNHOOKED THE WIRES FOR THE AIR BAG AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART. I WAS INFURIATED!! NOT ONLY WAS I DRIVING A CAR THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN BUT. I HAVE TO PUT MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO HAS BEEN HAVING SEIZURES LIFE IN DANGER AS WELL. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE DEFECTIVE SEAT BELTS AS WELL. ONE MONTH LATER THE DEALERSHIP CALLS MY HUSBAND AND SAYS THAT THE PART IS IN FOR THE SEAT BELT AND AIRBAGS HE INSTALLS IT AND CALLS MY HUSBAND AND SAYS THAT THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. 2 MONTHS LATER TODAY AND STILL HAVE NO PARTS, NO SOLUTION AND THE CONSTANT RUN AROUND!

MY IMPALA AIR BAG LIGHT FREQUENTLY LIGHTS UP. THEN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT SAYS OFF EVEN WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER. AT OTHER TIMES THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT SIGN IS ON AND THE AIR BAG SIGN SAYS ON, AND THERE IS NO PASSENGER. IT HAPPENS WHEN I START THE CAR AND RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THIS DIAGNOSED AT A CHEVY DEALER AND THE CAR NEEDS PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT HARDWARE. THESE PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE. THE IMPALA HAS 41000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR REQUIRED EQUIPMENT ON AUTOMOBILES.

TAKATA INFLATORS, MY AIR BAG PAT KEEPS COMING ON AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECK AND IT CONTINUES TO COME ON.

MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND AND MARKED "GOOD" FOR BRAKES BY FAIRWAY CHEVROLET DEALER IN LAS VEGAS, NV. THE BRAKING SYSTEM DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK AS DID BEFORE. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY STOPPED ON THE YELLOW LIGHT. I HIT THE BRAKES AND HELD IT SO HARD I GOT A FOOT INJURY. WITH PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY VEHICLE BEFORE I COLLIDED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT END IS ESTIMATED OVER $6000 TO REPAIR. THE OTHER VEHICLE ONLY GOT A SCRATCH ON THE BUMPER. I HAD TO GO TO AN URGENTCARE FACILITY TO RECEIVE EMERGENCY CARE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE SAME SYMPTOMS ARE IN OUR 2014 EQUINOX BUT THE DEALER SAYS THERES NOTHING WRONG. PLEASE CALL ME FOR ANY NEEDED INFORMATION. I CAN SEND MORE PICTURES.

WATER LEAK FROM TRUNK. MOLD. DAMAGE CLOTHING CAR SEAT. THE LINE ISN'T SEALING

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A LOUD EXPLOSION MADE MY PASSENGER'S AND ME GET STARTLED FOLLOWED BY A RINGING IN OUR EARS. IT CROSSED MY MIND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING SHOT AT. UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS NO INTERIOR DAMAGE, HOWEVER WHILE INSPECTING THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE THERE WAS DAMAGE ON THE SUNROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED IN AN UPWARDS POSITION AS IF IT HAS EXPLODED OR DAMAGE CAME FROM THE INSIDE OUT. CLOSER EXAMINATION DID NOT PROVIDE A REASON OR FOREIGN OBJECT THAT COULD HAD CREATED THE DAMAGE. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND/OR WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF EYES TO FALL ON ANY OF THE PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE.
