Approximately 75,0000 miles, ABS and the service traction system light kept appearing. I have had 3 repairs and nothing has corrected this problem. At 89,000miles, the lights appear and the car makes a grinding noise when I take off or turn sharpely. The weather has no affect on this, dry or wet. I push the traction off button and it stops. Then reappears. The sound scares me making me think the car is going to stop. Happens when I turn out of my driveway onto the street, taking off at a red light. No one is able to fix this problem. I have read many complaints online concerning this problem with 2003 impala, hundreds infact. I have spend over a $1,000. On repairs. Help please, something is wrong that can't be repaired. Happening over a year, 2015 to 2016.

Abs, traction, and break lights come on........ Then when I push on the gas paddle its often like the brakes want to lock up , with a scrubbing sound.... Also when I push the break paddle down it often makes a sound and the break paddle feels like it comes back up with the break still down,.........but then when I drive like 20-25 miles the lights go off and hardly come on until I stop again

When I am driving down any road, stopped and turning the ABS system engages causing grinding noise. Loss of power and periodically brakes lock up and gas pedal locks. When pulling off from a stop I can not accelerate & RPM goes almost red line, car starts to jerk and and transmission doesn't shift. I have to let off gas pedal and allow to shift. It has stalled numorus times when pulling into traffic and almost caused me to be hit. The service traction control/ABS warning light dings and stays lit. I manually turn off ABS but problem still occurs. Also the wiring thru out the car has failed to my rearview mirror, domelights and radio panel. My gas mileage has significantly decreased. The problem started around the beginning of the year and has progressively gotten worse to the point I and scared to drive my car.

I first started having this problem in october 2015. I purchased this vehicle in july 2015. I trusted this company because I seen they had great reviews. I actually trader my previous car in because it was having problems starting and also shutting off while driving. Now my current car is having probelms starting. I had my battery, alternator & starter checked, and it was good. The company I bought the car from provided warranty coverage on the vehicle. I took the car to get serviced in the beginning of october for an engine mount replacement. They replaced my engine mounts and fuel pump. 2 days after that service I started having issues starting the car. When you put the key in you usually hear beeping noise and I didn't. Than my battery light, ABS light, trac off light came on and stayed on and in the message center tracking system light came up. This was very inconvenient due to the weather and having to get 2 toddlers ready for school in the am. I took the car to my mechanic and he replaced the ignition switch. I didn't take it back to the same place because everytime you take it for service my deductible is $100. After 2 weeks after replacing the ignition switch the problem happened again. So I called my warranty service center they said to bring it back but if it needs fixing I have to pay again. (also I am paying a car note of $115 a week). I refuse to keep paying money for this problem. This can be very dangerous in so many ways. It's very fustrating because I trader my previous car (2000 buick regal) in for the same reason. I'm not sure if it's a wiring issue, sensor issue or maybe when they changed my engine mounts or fuel pump something got disconnected. This problem didn't start until they did service on my vehicle. Please I need some help on what to do. Little minor issues I don't mind keeping up with but something like this needs to be fixed!

The car will not start no matter hot or cold. Once started the electrical system throws multiple errors, from security, battery, service engine soon, ABS light, seat belt light, and brakes. The complete dash board goes dead including all gauges, from the speedometer, fuel and temperature gauge. The warning bell continues to ring as the battery light comes on - it does this continually while driving. Often times it will not start. I have a 6 year old daughter and I am concerned for her safety when this happens. I have put a new batter, new starter and new alternator in this car. Gm knows about the problems and they should be required to re-call these cars and fix the problem.
