2013 Chevrolet Impala: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Aug 9, 2022 · Engine, Transmission · NY

while waiting to make a left turn when traffic cleared I pressed the gas pedal and heard a loud grinding noise and the car would not move for 2 or 3 seconds and suddenly moved. Very dangerous. Car forums have many of the same incidents with great difficulty in resolving this problem and after several years no answers. This is life threatening issue.

Consistent problems/issues with the Traction Control turning off randomly while driving the vehicle. Which causes the car to almost stall, have issues accelerating, make a grinding/scraping noise until we manually turn the traction control off. Most of the issues/sounds stop shortly after turning it off, but car still has issues accelerating and feels like it’s going to stall.

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.

I have had problems with steering control in this vehicle ever since I bought it from serpentini chevrolet in strongsville, ohio. Chevrolet service department replaced the left front hub and bearing assembly on 6/9/16 at 34,770 when the car was still under warranty. On 8/3/18, when the vehicle was out of warranty at 60039 miles, the service department told me that the steering gear was leaking and it would be an $1829.50 repair. The symptoms I am experiencing now are the same as when the car was under warranty and not repaired correctly. It makes a scraping or grinding noise when you turn. If I add power steering fluid, the problem goes away, which leads me to believe that this was the problem all along. I checked online and it seems to me that a lot of people are having this same issue which usually only gets identified after the car is out of warranty. I believe gm should be required to do a recall before someone has a serious accident.

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.
