The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. While driving approximately 60 mph, the "service stabilitrack" message displayed on the message center. The vehicle lost acceleration, the rpms increased, and the vehicle surged forward. The contact stated that the failure occurred for approximately eight months. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.
I was in motion on a 50 mph state road, when all of a sudden my dash started dinging and when I looked down it stated "service stabilitrac", and "engine power reduced". my car suddenly went down to about 40 mph and would not go any faster. It appears Chevy has had recalls for this issue, but not for my model year.
Passenger side low beam headlights goes out every two weeks. I have had everything done still stop working. Also ABS system continues to light up and brakes act up.
Was traveling along and I think I had just completed a left hand turn when the car dinged. I looked at the dash and three messages popped up, "service stabilitrak", "service brake assist", "service traction control" and the ABS light comes on and the traction off light shows up. Happens quite frequently have had it fixed at least once on this vehicle and also on my 2012 Impala before it was totaled.
While driving and usually making hard turn and braking the service stabilitrak, traction control, brake assist messages appear all at the same time and the ABS light turned on. Had diagnostics checked on it and found code for front right wheel bearing and possible ABS sensor. Had the wheel bearing and hub assembly replaced by professional auto repair shop. Drove home and as returning home, made left turn and braked and felt the brakes slightly lock up. Hit gas and all lights and messages reappeared. Serviced at 87,000 miles.

In 2016 I was driving to work when the check engine light, traction control light, ABS light, service stabilitrack light and service brake assist light came on all at the same time. I took it to Chevy dealer and they claimed my car was misfiring, along with the left wheel hub, and a tune up. Long story short, in three months I spent about $3000 on something that is continuing to happen. But the difference is now it feels like my brakes slip when the lights come on. And they come on and off and on and off..I could just have turned the car on and the lights are dinging. I tried to see if General Motors will help me, and of course they cannot do anything. As I read through all of these complaints, it makes me feel less crazy since every time I take it to a shop the diagnostic machine doesn't pick up any codes. This needs to be a recall before someone gets hurt. And General Motors needs to do better in making their consumers happier with their products.
My vehicle has 66,000 miles on it. I am taking it in for the 3rd time due to the service stabilitrak and service ABS warning. The car makes a grinding noise in the front end when turning (usually left) or when shifting from reverse to drive. The front speed control hub has been replaced twice to supposedly correct his problem. However, since it is happening again, I am relatively certain that the hub will need to be replaced a third time. That is unacceptable in a vehicle with only 66,000 miles on it.
Last year I took my car to Chevy and they told me that nothing was wrong and that they can not replicate the grinding noise or see the stabilitrak light on. A year later and it is grinding more and the stabilitrak light stays on. Is there a recall for this? I have kept my car up on tune ups and oil changes, but this stabilitrak issue is getting more and more annoying each day and that grinding noise does not sound good after I was told it was nothing to worry about.
When I back-up I hear a grinding noise then the ABS and service stabilitrace warning indicators illuminates red on the dashboard; this is the second time happing to this car the first the dealer repaired that was about 30,000 miles ago replaced the wheel bearings, worked for a while.
I was driving down the road with my child and my service stabilitract and ABS light came on and when I went to turn all U heard was a grinding noise and the wheel like locked up and wouldn't let me turn until like 5 seconds later almost causing me and my kids to get hit into a really terrible wreck with cars coming at us at 55 mph
The wire harness that controls the left front ABS and stabilitrak broke causing the ABS to engage on it's own while driving on the highway. After reading online it is apparent that this is a common problem with the Impala that even has a tsb for the problem. This is a extremely dangerous issue that should be recalled. I have attached a picture of the broken harness along with the $272.94 bill for having the dealer repair it.
2013 Chevrolet Impala. Consumer writes in regards to front end noise while traveling at a low speed. The consumer stated that the wheel bearing was replaced, but the failure continued.
Stabilitrack and traction control will randomly fail while backing and driving. Especially with right hand steering input. Many times while driving and turing right, stanilitrack and traction control will alert failure and the input from the accelerator will cease causing slow tiring leading to near miss traffic collisions. Chevy can not find problem and numerous online reports of the same issue. On going issue.
I have a Chevy Impala I bought it a year ago July 2016 my service traction control light, service sabilitrak, and service brake assist keeps blinking on and off while driving my brakes automatically contracts as if my car is trying to stop itself making me jerks and the car jerks reported it to my finance company that finance the car and the company that I bought the car from so it should be on record thank you for your time. P.S my car brakes contracts, jerks when I am driving on the street and on the freeway. My car brakes contract when I am driving in motion and when I'm turning after I come from a complete stop.
2013 Chevy Impala has stability control and traction control come on along with engine light.the car has 20,152 miles on it and this just started when it got cold but happens regularly now.I started warming up the car and thought that fixed the problem but it happened on a left turn after two hours of driving without incident until the left turn.
At roughly 26,000 miles my ABS, stabilitrac, and traction control lights came on. I took my car to dealership to repair ignition recall, they replaced the ABS wire harness and corrected the the problem. At roughly 56,000 and 86,000 the ABS, stabilitrac, and traction control lights came back on. I am carrying my car back into the dealership again tomorrow for the 3rd time for the same issue. My car is now decelerating on its own and the wheels are abruptly locking. The car is moving during all of these incidents. My car has begun flashing ABS, stabilitrac, and traction control lights and abruptly decelerating on its own at 60/75 miles per hour.
My 2013 Chevrolet Impala had 28, 000 miles when it began making low tone grinding noises when turning left from a stop or at lower speeds. This has happened in reverse gear a few times as well. The low pitch grinding sound has occurred while making a slow right hand turns a few times. The grinding noise occurs on both dry and wet pavement. Frequently a reduction in forward power occurs. Intermittent warning lights and messages occur intermittently: Stability tack needs serviced, service traction control, and red ABS light comes on. When driving in bumpy areas the red ABS light comes on. When taking off on an up hill grade traction control rumbles and then I have a reduction in power as I try to accelerate making my forward motion slower than anticipated and placing me in danger. Mechanic used an analyzer and said it was my left wheel sensor. He replaced the hub. My problem began again less than 15 minutes after driving out of the repair shop. None of this occurs when I manually turn off the stability control when I first start the car.(the button on the left hand side of the dashboard that has a drawing of the car and squiggly lines) very dangerous, annoying and costly situation. Recall necessary!!!!!
Mostly when turning while in reverse, the traction control light comes on and the car hesitates slightly. There is also a grinding noise. This will happen occasionally going forward. During the summer months this happens several times week. During the cooler months it only happens occasionally. The car will be four years old in 08/2017 and it has less than 28,000 miles on it. This problem started in 06/2016 when the car had approximately 20,000 miles on it. Had the brakes looked at and was told they were fine. Can't seem to figure out what the problem is or how to fix it.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. While making a turn, the brakes independently applied and an abnormal grinding noise could be heard. The failure was intermittent. The ABS and service stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the brakes, rotors, bearing, and tires were replaced. The contact notified the local Chrysler dealer where an appointment was scheduled for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000. The VIN was not provided. Updated 07/18/17
