Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The right turn signal bulb keeps blowing. Break lights were stuck on. I got pulled over because the blinker wasn't working and parking light wouldn't go off. The officer was nice because I had just got the car and didn't give me a ticket, just a warning. Blinker on passenger side won't work with lights on and fuses for that side keeps blowing
The area in my trunk where the spare tire is kept, keeps filling up with water. It has also produce an odor that as the entire car smelling like mildew. The vehicle has been parked in my driveway for the past year.
Trunk taking on water causing mildew everywhere! I just purchased vehicle and trying to clean the mess up but would like to know where/why is this happening and if can be fixed and the repair cost.
My sunroof exploded on august 26, dashcam shows no object. 2014 chevrolet impala lt while driving along interstate 696 in warren, mich about 12:21 pm. Factory install front glass of a panoramic sunroof.
Water leaking into truck mold is growing I know there's been a lot of cases this problem need to get fixed my car smells really bad like mold this is a health issue.
The rear tail lights are leaking water when it rains or going through a car wash.
While driving on freeway about 70 MPH today on way home I opened sunroof. As normal the cloth sunroof retracted and seconds later the actual glass roof opened. Half way thought opening. The cloth caught or got stuck and I hear tearing sounds all around my head. The plastic piece that has the cloth cover attached looks like the adhesive just gave out and now the cloth is flapping down blocking view of rear of car.
When the vehicle is stationary rainwater drains into the trunk and into the spare time compartment. There's a defect with the tail lights and seals between the trunk and rear of the vehicle. I'm not the original owner and wasn't aware anything had been documented on the issue. Furthermore, I didn't know there was an issue until 2017 when I needed my spare tire. - issue already documented, but I wanted to officially report my problem because I shouldn't have to pay out-of-pocket for the repair, only because I wasn't notified.
I noticed water/dampness on two locations of my 2014 chevrolet impala (while it is stationary) 1. Floor carpet on passenger side front seat is thoroughly wet (see attached photos), with the dampness extending to the rear seats. 2.inside the trunk in area behind the rear wheel. Took the car to the dealership and they advised I would have to pay for diagnosis as well as repair. This is a manufacturing defect that may have resulted in damage to the interior carpet, structural panels - floor (possible rust). Gm customer service nor the dealership is willing to absorb the cost and expects my (consumer to pay)
