2013 Chevrolet Impala: A week ago my passenger window (backseat) I rolled it down with the driver side but could only roll it back up with the oringnal door ( right side back door) and now my break lights stay on I have to unplug battery to cut everything off because it will not go off any other way I turned car completely off and also turn lights off instead of auto and still they remain
The ABS, traction control, brake assist and stabilitrak warning lights come on intermittently while driving. A grinding noise can be heard coming from the front-left wheel. This usually occurs while accelerating from a dead stop or making left turns from a dead stop. I have gotten both hubs replaced and it still is happening.
When accelerating from stopped position, especially when turning to either side, experienced a grinding noise, loss of power, dimming lights, and ABS light coming on. Grinding noise comes from lower engine area in front of vehicle. Repeated occurrences are becoming more frequent. Not known what the problem is, but appears to be tied to ABS/electrical system. Postings of similar situations have appeared in various websites dealing with frequent problems of specific vehicles. GM dealer charged me diagnosis fee, but found nothing. GM dealer said in order to find the problem I would have to bring car in when ABS light was on. I am concerned that I am due for a significant failure before dealer finds the problem, or acknowledges same. Although I reference one date of occurrence, this problem has been happening for 6 months with increasing events as of late.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Impala. While attempting to start the engine, the battery failed. The battery was able to be jumpstarted. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle, but found no failure. The mechanic suggested that the contact replace the grill to prevent the battery from failing again. A few days later, the vehicle was unable to start when the key was turned in the ignition. After several attempts, the vehicle started. Shortly after, the computer system reset and all of the warning prompts illuminated. The contact stated that the alarm, turn signals, horn, and notifications failed to function properly. The contact attempted to turn off the ignition switch, but was unable to remove the key out of the ignition because it was too hot. The dealer was notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000.

When starting to move forward from a stopped position and turning the steering wheel at the same time, the ABS sensor kicks in and the car makes the ABS sound, the ABS lights up on the dashand then it releases and you can drive normal. It has occurred many times now between 1 to 5 miles per hour. I do not see any recalls at this time for this problem.
I went to start my car the key was immediately "locked" inside the ignition..locking everything in the car up, from the brakes to the electrical. You should be able to turn it 4X (a, B, C, D(on) it would not let you go past C. the key would not come out, I had it jumped in order to get the key out. I thought for sure it had to do with the ignition switch being recalled, but no hall Chevrolet said it was just the battery. So when your battery goes bad, it is normal for the key to be locked almost "eaten" by the ignition. There was no warning it was the battery, nothing. I have only owned the car 29 days. I really thought it was the ignition switch but dealership says no battery?
