Had a brake inspection one week prior to brakes failing while driving, pedal was soft all the way to the floor while hear air compression noise. No warning lights or alerts.
While driving on a rural road approaching a sharp curve my vehicle's control panel began to display service power steering drive with care and service stabilitrack messages respectively; immediately thereafter I began to experience difficulty with steering.
When I start my car my epb is stuck to my rotors and will not disengage while driving or when I apply the brake. I am in fear that my brakes will catch fire from the fiction. The recall that was on this issue, when my VIN was checked it said my car wasn't affected by this but clearly it is. The recall said the dealer needs to update the electronic parking brake software but they will not do it because my car has a salvage title. Also my car won't go over 50mph because the brakes are engaged and wont release
I was driving on the interstate at approx 70 mph when the power steering quit working. Two warning messages came on stating that the "power steering needed to be serviced", the "stabilitrack needed to be serviced" and the ABS warning light came on. The car became difficult to steer. I had my son and a neighbor's child in the car with me. It was not a safe condition.
Electrical failures. I experienced a failure in my stabilitrak, power steering and ABS system on my 2014 Chevy Impala 2lt. This caused my vehicle to lose power steering, and ABS brake control, which while driving on a rainy surface (in MA today 3/2 the weather was insane) was not reassuring. I have read numerous reports of other people experiencing this issue as well. Chevy seems to have are recall open for power steering, but my VIN supposedly is not impacted despite me having a power steering failure. Many, many electrical issues with this car have been reported, and yet Chevy does nothing to correct this clear safety concern. Thankfully the power steering system only partially reduced itself, and didn't completely fail or else who knows what would have happened. Very dangerous and disappointing that nothing is being done to protect people.
While driving, the power steering, ABS and stabiitrak all became nonfunctional and the problem has persisted for about a week following the onset. This occurred while driving in a straight line, with no turning involved.
My Impala 2014 was making a loud noise from, the rear of the vehicle as if it was the muffler. The noise could only be heard while I was inside the vehicle. I had my wife stand outside while I drove the vehicle down our street and the loud noise could not be heard outside of the vehicle. We could hear the noise once the vehicle reached 20 mph. After getting the muffler checked we found out the muffler was in good condition., but shortly after the Impala started making the loud noise we made a left turn at a signal light and the ABS, power steering, and stablitrak service lights came on the dashboard. The power steering has gotten increasingly worse since the service light came on.

Power steering, ABS, and stabilitrak lights all coming on. Only 40,000 miles on the car. Car is starting to become hard to turn. Started while I was driving and went through a large puddle of water.
While turning right and backing up or turning right into a parking space at low speed the stabilitrac/ traction control activates and stops the driver side front wheel for a moment, and then releases and a grinding/rubbing noise is heard coming from the drivers side front wheel when this problem happens and is a random problem that happens more frequently, when it is cold and damp.
