Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet impala. While the contact's vehicle was making a left turn, an abnormal grinding sound was heard and the vehicle hesitated. In addition, the ABS and service stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front driver side wheel bearing hub was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was returned to the independent mechanic and the hub was replaced again; however, the failure persisted. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 49,000. The VIN was not provided.

Mostly when turning while in reverse, the traction control light comes on and the car hesitates slightly. There is also a grinding noise. This will happen occasionally going forward. During the summer months this happens several times week. During the cooler months it only happens occasionally. The car will be four years old in 08/2017 and it has less than 28,000 miles on it. This problem started in 06/2016 when the car had approximately 20,000 miles on it. Had the brakes looked at and was told they were fine. Can't seem to figure out what the problem is or how to fix it.

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.

Bought my 2013 impala used but around 25000 miles started getting issues with turning left and accelerating. The traction control will engage and cause the car to hesitate. Big issue when trying to cross in front of oncoming traffic. Had into the dealer many times but they do not seem to know what the issue is. Twice I have had all the lights go off and power reduced while on the interstate. They have replaced the computer twice for that one. This might be my last chevy. 3/36 warranty is a joke anymore!

Often when I accelerate my 2013 chevy impala especially when turning, the car will make a grinding noise and the vehicle will hesitate to accelerate and errors appear for stability track and ABS. This occurs on both paved and sand roads and in any road condition. I took it in to my dealer and they replaced a censor (for about $300 bucks when it was all said and done.) which fixed the problem for about a week, now it's back and in many traffic situations, very dangerous. It stared at about 30k miles.

My 2013 chevy impala is having big issues making left turns. There is a grinding sound and the car hesitates to accelerate. While these problrms occur I am getting warnings on the dash that say service traction control, service brake assist, and the ABS light is on. Starting to not feel safe to be in this vehicle. Also had it checked twice by two different auto shops and they cant seem to find the problem.
