Stabiltrak ABS traction control warning lights all come on vehicle shudders and power is reduced. Researched and found 100's of reports of the same issue with the impala and similar complaints in the light truck and SUV models. Fix is relatively inexpensive if your mechanically / electrically inclined as involves splicing in a new wire harness for the ABS sensor. Said harness is about $20 it shorts out due to insufficient gauge of wire used on original factory install. Replace harness has much sturdier gauge from what my research says. Repair shop quoted $700 to repair glad I told them to put it back together. They have a fleet of impalas as loaners so they know they are gouging people when they say replace wheel hub assembly ABS sensor and wiring harness when they know it's the ABS sensor period. Chevy needs to do a recall. Issue happens when car is in motion after turning or going over a bump wiring that has been wore thru due to placement of wiring in a high friction area, wire wears through coating exposes wiring that shorts out and sends codes to computer concerning ABS stabiltrak and traction assist causes vehicle to behave erratically others have reported caused vehicle to stall and not restart until problem corrected. I'm sure they are gouged for a thousand $ or more. Wet road conditions,extreme heat or cold,left turn while backing, jarring bumps, all trigger the dash to light up like christmas tree dinging alarm goes off steering shudders power is reduced. It's a huge distraction and safety concern for so many to be experiencing gm should stand up and take care of the problem.

I have a 2013 chevrolet impala--I have had multiple problems with; my dashboard lights up with service stablitrack, brake assist, traction control, and the ABS light comes on while driving down the road. I have taken it to numerous places, that tested it, and was told no problem was found. It makes a grinding noise when in reverse; sometimes it doesn't want to accelerate, especially when it rains. Also my passenger seat's, buckle up alarm, goes off when no one is sitting there and the front window always seems dirty, even after it's cleaned-inside and out.

The service stabilitrak/ABS/brake control lights turn on and off incessantly regardless of whether I'm moving, turning, breaking, etc. It's seemingly completely random. Every ime they do, the car dings, making the ride unbearable ("ding, ding, ding...ding, ding, ding" ad naseum). This happened before and I had the vehicle serviced under warranty, a little over 1.5 years ago. It's now happening again. Countless reports on forums indicate that it's a very common issue with the wiring harness going to the hub assembly. Gm should recall this. It's distracting, unsafe, and seemingly unfixable in the long term. This will be the second time I've fixed this in less than 50,000 miles driven.

Service ABS/stabilitrack is displaying often. Grinding noise, decreased power and car will nearly stop on you from time to time, particularly when turning. Taken to dealership, more than once, they get no codes on diagnostic. I believe this is a wiring issue. However, this defect is found in many years of the same make of vehicle. At times when turning, the stopping of the vehicle could harm or kill me or my family. There is bound to be lawsuits if this is not recalled. A search online produces hundreds with the same issue.

When braking or turning a grinding sound similar to bad brakes (front brakes were redone less than 1 year ago) and the service stabilitrack, ABS lights come on and periodically shut off. I've shut off traction control but it still engages when turning left occasionally causing reduced acceleration and danger to myself when crossing traffic. Vehicle at 95k miles but this happened before at around 50k miles and was repaired by dealer and partially covered by bumper to bumper warranty.
