I was driving and I pressed on the brakes the cars starts jerking and it felt and sounded like it was dragging something or scrapping the ground. The ABS light comes on and the stability light pops on. I'm out in the middle of the road doing a left or a right turn when this occurs and the car basically stalls for a minute and won't move then all of a sudden jerks really hard and starts moving again. This occurs on the city street and the highway when exiting or changing lanes.
It has a few different problems. The first being a trunk seal that was already recalled, yet my “fixed” seal wasn’T even fixed and my trunk is still taking on water when it rains. The other problem started a week ago. My ABS light came on while driving and the traction control light and neither will go off. Today while driving my car felt like it was losing power all of a sudden and a dinger went off and the brake assist light came on as well as 2 parking break lights. Both times the lights come on I was driving. None of the lights will go off, and now it’'s dinging for a minute or more just because of the warning light.
Breaks squeal constantly they are new pads and breaks can find any problems have taken it to several auto shops and dealerships and as about any recall issues it seems as if they are locked up I can not take it through a drive through car wash it will not go up on the rollers the back brakes are like they have locked or I have the emergency brake on and in reverse is when they are dragging this is the first complaint that I have found that is the same issue as mine I have called Chevrolet they never mentioned anything about complaints or issues

When making turns, left turns especially, the car hesitates and makes a grinding noise. It feels like it loses power, and will not move, which is very scary and dangerous in the middle of rush hour traffic in a busy city. Sometimes the stabilyzer and/or traction control lights come one during these episodes. This is the 3rd time I have had to have my car serviced for the exact same problem. I am a single divorced [xxx] woman, I do not have the time away from work or the money to continue to spend on repairs that I have no choice or control over. Please recall this problem. I have read hundreds of complaints about the same thing online when I researched my problem. Recall !!! or do we have to get killed before you the manufacturer does that? parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.
