2013 Chevrolet Impala brakes complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 53, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When making low speed left hand turn service stabilitrack and service ABS warnings come on, steering is difficult and a grinding noise is heard. Grinding stops when steering wheel straightened then turn can be made after speed is built up.
The wire harness that controls the left front ABS and stabilitrak broke causing the ABS to engage on it's own while driving on the highway. After reading online it is apparent that this is a common problem with the impala that even has a tsb for the problem. This is a extremely dangerous issue that should be recalled. I have attached a picture of the broken harness along with the $272.94 bill for having the dealer repair it.

Electronic stability control/ brake assist and ABS light comes on at random times. Took to dealer and say nothing wrong with it had wheel bearing replaced and problem is back. Happens while in reverse
My 2013 chevy impala is having issue with the ABS traction control system. The car makes a grinding noise when driving and the service traction contil, service stabilitrak, and service brake assist, when pressing brake you can feel it pulsating and the car slides. The car also decelerates on it's on and then starts back accelerating. Many people are having this issue and chevy has yet to recall the vehicle, I've taking the vehicle several places and they don't know what's going on.

Abs multiple times this vehicle will lock up the brakes when attempting to pull out of a parking lot or make a turn from a slow speed I.e. An intersection this has nearly cause many accidents. After doing research on it as well my vehicle is not the only one with this problem its out there and it is a huge safety risk. This problem will occur about 80 percent of the time when turning from a stopped position or slow speed of anywhere from 1mph to 15mph.
At 47,000miles the ABS warning light came on. I went ahead and replaced the hub wheel. The light went off for about a week. The stabilitytrack warning came on. It goes off. But then when I make a left turn the light comes back on again. I have spent countless hours researching trying to find a solution to no avail. They should issue a recall for this chevy model.
Unwanted traction control/ABS activation at low speed. It usually happens from a stop when turning left, but also has occurred at low speed when turning left, when going straight over a bumpy road and also when turning right. The roads are dry. Traction control/ABS activates with a distinct noise and vehicle hesitation. Dash lights/notifications are usually not activated however service traction control has appeared a few times. This is a safety issue especially when making left turns and the vehicle hesitates in the middle of the turn with on-coming traffic. This has been ongoing for one and a half years very intermittently, but has become constant now every time the car is driven. The car has been to the dealer 3 times for 6 days over the last 2 weeks and has not been fixed. I finally drove with a mechanic and easily replicated the problem several times. The car is currently at the dealer for a 4th time (after the mechanic verified that there is a problem). The car is a safety hazard and the problem must be repaired permanently.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet impala. While driving 25 MPH, the electronic stability control warning indicator illuminated. While attempting to make a right turn, the front driver's side wheel seized, and the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. While test driving the vehicle, the mechanic experienced the failure. The contact was informed that the front driver's side wheel hub assembly, stabilizer bar, the front driver and passenger side tie rods, and brakes should be replaced to mitigate the failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
My car makes a grinding sound when I turn left and loses power, also today the service brake assist and the traction lights all came on when I was driving. I have read many things from many people about this certain problem and it is costly to get this fixed and I feel something should be done about this. This could be very dangerous trying to turn into traffic and having your car lose power.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet impala. While accelerating from a stop position, a grinding noise was heard and the vehicle jerked.

The ABS, traction control, brake assist and stabilititrak warning lights come on intermittently while driving. A grinding noise can be heard coming from the front-left wheel. This usually occurs while accelerating from a dead stop or making left turns from a dead stop. I have gotten both hubs replaced and it still is happening.

When starting from a standstill, the traction control system seems to kick in and the indicator light comes on. Initial occurrences only seemed to happen when turning left from a standstill, but now it is occurring when turning either direction from a standstill. This is occurring at low speeds on both dry and wet pavement with very little acceleration (I.e., no tire slippage).
Received "service traction control, service stabilitrak, service brake assist" warnings all at the same time. Car makes a loud noise when reversing and turning to the right or left at low speeds. Occasionally while braking, the car skids. Abs light also came on.
Brake and steering system defect. While driving the antilock brake light came on, also the traction control, stabili-trak, and brake assist lights started flashing. The car was being driven in downtown traffic at moderate speed. The vehicle was taken to a local dealership who said that this was not a safety problem (what!!!!) and that it was not covered under the drivetrain but only part of the 30k coverage. They then said it would be at least a week before they could look at the car. (brake and steering issues not a safety problem?) in doing some checking on the internet it appears that this is a serious and ongoing issue with cheverolet and gm vehicles for several years. In addition to the above problem there have been even more serious side effects associated with the brake, stability system. Some even reported to your department. It would be good if your department would be proactive and have this issue investigated by someone other than gm. Before there are fatalities associated with this issue. Perhaps you could spend some time looking at the various forums on the web and see that there seems to be a major problem here. I doubt anything will be done but thank you for allowing me to vent. I am writing this to help my son out since it is his car, and he a) has a full load in college and b) he is a less happy camper than I am.

My stabilitrack and ABS keeps coming on and off. It does not matter if I am driving on a side stree or on the beltway. Beltway driving is dangerous and scary as the car seems like it is brakeing and then speeding up. Making turns it does the same and "jumps" when I use the brakes. This is all very dangerous situation and should be looked at asap. I has been happening for 5 months and the service people can not see any issues.
