Electrical system: ignition
- What is wrong
- This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
- Risk
- If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1‑800‑521‑7300 (Buick), 1‑800‑458‑8006 (Cadillac), and 1‑800‑222‑1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.

Days after purchasing my 2013 chevy impala ltz 2 years ago from first car in bakersfield I have had nothing but problems with it. As I would drive it , it started to automaticly brake on its own and lose traction speed. Blows white smoke all the time it is running even when parked. I have major problem when driving the car shakes slot. I have spent approximately $5000 in repairs and no improvement what so ever!
Wiring harness is defective and friction causes electrical misfires that affect the entire vehicle, from deacceleration while driving to not being able to turn over the engine to start. I've been dealing with this issue for over 4 years and gm nor any safety commission will do anything in terms of a recall. This complaint is the only recourse that I have in order to notify public of the issue. This is extremely concerning as it can cause safety hazard on road.
I dont understand why my car shows no misfires until today and its the fuel control module but it resets and goes away then back again like its remote control. While stationary battery is fair/ alternator fair
Faulty wiring harness for the stable link system front driver side. While driving the vehicle the check engine light will come on along with the stable link system and lose power to the engine and shut down.
I've had my 2013 lt impala for 39 months I am currently financing this vehicle however the actuators I keep repeating and they keep going out constantly and the repairs are very expensive I've replaced these multiple times and after a month it does the problem again which ended up draining my battery each time. I have replaced my battery for a brand new one and everything was fine I got the problem of all 3 actuator fixed and here we are now and my vehicle is dead the battery was drained because the actuators keep going out and the ticking noise never stops and it goes even when I'm not present in the car and random times throughout the night without the key in the ignition*dt
It keeps saying on the odometer electric stability control or track and lower the power. My car was on motion on a city street with cars all around us. I've read that several people were having trouble with the same thing. Why don't they recall
