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.

Get ABS, traction control, stable stability sensors on. In motion and when sitting still. Resets but comes right back on.
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.
My reduce engine power light, service stabilitrak light and ABS light is on also check engine light.car will not go ove 30 to 40 MPH. The car will reduce speed on the highway. And streets. I live in illinois. I've done tried everything. The car was in the shop for over a month cost me $1500 to fix every issues the mechanic thought was wrong and the car still have the same issues. I have even just recently brought a new gas cap because that light kept saying tighten. This can be really stressful. I dont think I will ever buy another chevy car again. As I research my issue just by typing in the problems without giving the make and model of car. I see all these problems are only with chevy vechiles. What do I do?
While driving I hit the brakes. Then the stability light vame on. Along with brake assist and traction light. After this the car does not wanna reverse makes a horrible grinding noise. There is always something wrong with this car
Stable control and ABS light comes in when I star on wet payment I hear notice and slight vibration, but light goes off and on at various times, noy log enough for dealer to check it out
Service stabilitrack warning indicator lights flash and beep while all guages go to zero and back while door locks are also engaging open and closed at all speeds. Has been almost on daily basis for the last few months. Before 6 months ago would only happen occasionally.vehicle will lose acceleration for a few seconds. . This will happen several times while driving consecutive almost 10-20 times in a row. Traction control and ABS, brake assist will also have warning lights go off. Have had my car in 2 diffrent shops and spent almost $2000 and still no fix. . Chevy needs to do a better job explaining what service stabilitrack consist of. Mechanics have no clear idea what to fix. Is there a recall on this system. Any help would be much appreciated. Chevy has no answers.
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.
I purchased my vehicle on march 23 2019 .I have made several repairs to car but the problem persists . If I'm at a stop and I proceed to drive and make a left my car will make a grinding noise and the traction control light will flash it makes it dangerous to join traffic safely . I looked online and several people have the same exact issue with their vehicles . Service traction control. Service stabilitrak service brake assist will go on when I try to make a u turn . . Ive replaced left driver side wheel hub with ABS sensor replaced TPMS and had alignment done . I felt the tea admission is being affected by this issue . So I had it serviced as well . I feel chevy should do a recall immediately.
When I turn my car on the ABS light stays on, driving stability light stays on, and the emergency brake light stays on even if I have it disengaged.
Service stability track light turns on and off. Car will lose some speed while driving for a second, like the ABS kicks on when it isn't supposed to. Had happened while driving 50 MPH on the highway, car will lose some speed while the light indicating ABS has activated for some reason.
Traction control applies random breaking while turning on residential streets
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet impala. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the "service stabilitrack" message displayed on the message center. The vehicle lost acceleration, the rpms increased, and the vehicle surged forward. The contact stated that the failure occurred for approximately eight months. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.
I was in motion on a 50 MPH state road, when all of a sudden my dash started dinging and when I looked down it stated "service stabilitrac" , and "engine power reduced". My car suddenly went down to about 40 MPH and would not go any faster. It appears chevy has had recalls for this issue, but not for my model year.
Passenger side low beam headlights goes out every two weeks. I have had everything done still stop working. Also ABS system continues to light up and brakes act up .
Was traveling along and I think I had just completed a left hand turn when the car dinged. I looked at the dash and three messages popped up, "service stabilitrak", "service brake assist", "service traction control" and the ABS light comes on and the traction off light shows up. Happens quite frequently have had it fixed at least once on this vehicle and also on my 2012 impala before it was totaled.
While driving and usually making hard turn and braking the service stabilitrak, traction control, brake assist messages appear all at the same time and the ABS light turned on. Had diagnostics checked on it and found code for front right wheel bearing and possible ABS sensor. Had the wheel bearing and hub assembly replaced by professional auto repair shop. Drove home and as returning home, made left turn and braked and felt the brakes slightly lock up. Hit gas and all lights and messages reappeared. Serviced at 87,000 miles.
In 2016 I was driving to work when the check engine light, traction control light, ABS light, service stabilitrack light and service brake assist light came on all at the same time. I took it to chevy dealer and they claimed my car was misfiring, along with the left wheel hub, and a tune up. Long story short, in three months I spent about $3000 on something that is continuing to happen. But the difference is now it feels like my brakes slip when the lights come on. And they come on and off and on and off..I could just have turned the car on and the lights are dinging. I tried to see if general motors will help me, and of course they cannot do anything. As I read through all of these complaints, it makes me feel less crazy since every time I take it to a shop the diagnostic machine doesn't pick up any codes. This needs to be a recall before someone gets hurt. And general motors needs to do better in making their consumers happier with their products.
My vehicle has 66,000 miles on it. I am taking it in for the 3rd time due to the service stabilitrak and service ABS warning. The car makes a grinding noise in the front end when turning (usually left) or when shifting from reverse to drive. The front speed control hub has been replaced twice to supposedly correct his problem. However, since it is happening again, I am relatively certain that the hub will need to be replaced a third time. That is unacceptable in a vehicle with only 66,000 miles on it.
Last year I took my car to chevy and they told me that nothing was wrong and that they can not replicate the grinding noise or see the stabilitrak light on. A year later and it is grinding more and the stabilitrak light stays on. Is there a recall for this? I have kept my car up on tune ups and oil changes, but this stabilitrak issue is getting more and more annoying each day and that grinding noise does not sound good after I was told it was nothing to worry about.
When I back-up I hear a grinding noise then the ABS and service stabilitrace warning indicators illuminates red on the dashboard; this is the second time happing to this car the first the dealer repaired that was about 30,000 miles ago replaced the wheel bearings, worked for a while.
I was driving down the road with my child and my service stabilitract and ABS light came on and when I went to turn all u heard was a grinding noise and the wheel like locked up and wouldn't let me turn until like 5 seconds later almost causing me and my kids to get hit into a really terrible wreck with cars coming at us at 55 MPH
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.
Did come on until I started putting miles on it now the ABS tracking control light stability light won't. Go off
2013 chevrolet impala. Consumer writes in regards to front end noise while traveling at a low speed. *ld the consumer stated that the wheel bearing was replaced, but the failure continued.
Stabilitrack and traction control will randomly fail while backing and driving. Especially with right hand steering input. Many times while driving and turing right, stanilitrack and traction control will alert failure and the input from the accelerator will cease causing slow tiring leading to near miss traffic collisions. Chevy can not find problem and numerous online reports of the same issue. On going issue.
I have a chevy impala I bought it a year ago july 2016 my service traction control light, service sabilitrak , and service brake assist keeps blinking on and off while driving my brakes automatically contracts as if my car is trying to stop itself making me jerks and the car jerks reported it to my finance company that finance the car and the company that I bought the car from so it should be on record thank you for your time. P.s my car brakes contracts, jerks when I am driving on the street and on the freeway. My car brakes contract when I am driving in motion and when I'm turning after I come from a complete stop.
2013 chevy impala has stability control and traction control come on along with engine light.the car has 20,152 miles on it and this just started when it got cold but happens regularly now.I started warming up the car and thought that fixed the problem but it happened on a left turn after two hours of driving without incident until the left turn.
At roughly 26,000 miles my ABS, stabilitrac, and traction control lights came on. I took my car to dealership to repair ignition recall, they replaced the ABS wire harness and corrected the the problem. At roughly 56,000 and 86,000 the ABS, stabilitrac, and traction control lights came back on. I am carrying my car back into the dealership again tomorrow for the 3rd time for the same issue. My car is now decelerating on its own and the wheels are abruptly locking. The car is moving during all of these incidents. My car has begun flashing ABS, stabilitrac, and traction control lights and abruptly decelerating on its own at 60/75 miles per hour.
My 2013 chevrolet impala had 28, 000 miles when it began making low tone grinding noises when turning left from a stop or at lower speeds. This has happened in reverse gear a few times as well. The low pitch grinding sound has occurred while making a slow right hand turns a few times. The grinding noise occurs on both dry and wet pavement. Frequently a reduction in forward power occurs. Intermittent warning lights and messages occur intermittently: stability tack needs serviced, service traction control, and red ABS light comes on. When driving in bumpy areas the red ABS light comes on. When taking off on an up hill grade traction control rumbles and then I have a reduction in power as I try to accelerate making my forward motion slower than anticipated and placing me in danger. Mechanic used an analyzer and said it was my left wheel sensor. He replaced the hub. My problem began again less than 15 minutes after driving out of the repair shop. None of this occurs when I manually turn off the stability control when I first start the car.(the button on the left hand side of the dashboard that has a drawing of the car and squiggly lines) very dangerous, annoying and costly situation. Recall necessary!!!!!
