2014 Impala one day started sensing cars that were not there, a few days later I smelled burning wires in my garage and noticed the drivers side mirror indicator symbol intermittently lighting up after the car sat in the garage all night and was not running, definitely something was shorting out. The dealer wanted 1,200 dollars to fix it.
I pulled off the rear bumper cover, (20min) removed the sensors that were burnt out and found the wire harness was the failure. GM had zero in stock and none on back order. We all know this means an engineering change is coming to fix it so I skipped trying to fixing it, cut off the side connecting wires for the sensors then taped them tight, sealed over that with Liquid tape to make sure they were water tight and tucked them back into the sensor slots. I put it together and yes you have to cancel the error message each time you start it but after that everything works fine except you won't have side detection or burning wires in your car. Until they come up with a new wire harness I won't fix the detection system because the dealer told me they have seen cars have this reoccur after winter so some people are paying twice for this repair, not me, but those MF sensors off and seal them.
You have to take off the tires and unscrew the tail lights from the trunk but that's it, the whole thing went back together in about 30 minutes. It all snaps together like a match box car. BTY I love this car, I commute 70 miles a day, its quiet, comfortable, very fast for its size, and has a ton of room. I plan to keep it and buy another even if it means dealing with this stupid detection issue.
