2014 Chevrolet Impala: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed May 21, 2024 · Acceleration · IL

When at a stop and turning left it makes a grinding noise with hesitation in movement. The ABS and traction control light comes on. When researching this, there are millions of these cars with the same thing. I have taken to 3 mechanics and no one can fix the problem.

The ABS and traction control light are always on. Sometimes the brakes kick back up on my foot and the brakes skip until I come to a stop.This doesn't always happen but I have to always be prepared. And there is always a squeaking sound when wheels are in motion. It was never inspected

At about 86,000 miles I began getting a grinding noise from the left front side the wheel seems to lock up associated with a grabbing that I can feel when turning the steering wheel to the left. When this happens the Service Stability Trac and Service Trac Control indicators sometime appear but not always. I took my car to a GM Dealer locally a diagnostic performed said it was wheel hub assembly (bearings). Due to cost of dealer labor I took car to my local mechanic at his private garage. He performed a diagnostic and confirmed the assembly should be replaced. The assembly was replaced at my cost and has since been replaced twice more as warranty replacement because the mechanic thought the assemblies may have been defective, this after only a couple thousand miles or so on the replaced assembly. Typically, it happens at low speed, and mostly when turning left. It becomes a problem when I'm driving in busy traffic and turning at an intersection because it will just lock up and not let me go, stopping me in the middle of the intersection subjecting me to the possibility of being crashed into by other drivers. It is very frightening when this happens.

When turning left, there is a grinding noise coming from the left front wheel. This grinding noise will also turn on the 'service stabilitrak' and 'service ABS' lights. These come on intermittently. I have had several shops including dealerships look at it and are unable to fix it. I have read hundreds of other folks are having this same issue with the same body style for the years. It is time for gm and chevrolet to find a solution and recall it.

Whenever I am traveling at speeds <15mph and turning left from a stop the car hesitates and there is a grinding noise. This only occurs when traveling at low speeds. The noise is coming from the front left side. My ABS & service stabilitrak lights are on. When I run the diagnostic no codes are coming up, and it says the car is fine. I have taken it to the dealership, and they were not able to replicate the malfunction. Several others in online forums have described the same issues with 2013-14 impalas.

I was driving on a residential street, going no more than 25 MPH with my two two year olds in their car seats behind me. Suddenly and simultaneously, all four of the side airbags deployed (front and back), knocking my girls seats together, the front right side of the car dropped down and started grinding on the wheel. I was able to pull off to the side of the road thankfully. I turned the car off, and when I got out to look at the front, the car door shut, and for the first time, automatically locked me out, my kids inside, with its own key and my purse as well.

The cruise control button sticks, when being pushed it clicks hard to get to work. The most important started a couple of weeks ago with the steering wheel on moving and pushing the gas makes a clunky and grinding sound and feel, the vehicle does not go anywhere then, the stability light comes on. The car starts moving, and the wheel frees up and the light goes out. This is every time I'm turning left after from a stopped position.

When making turns, left turns especially, the car hesitates and makes a grinding noise. It feels like it loses power, and will not move, which is very scary and dangerous in the middle of rush hour traffic in a busy city. Sometimes the stabilyzer and/or traction control lights come one during these episodes. This is the 3rd time I have had to have my car serviced for the exact same problem. I am a single divorced [xxx] woman, I do not have the time away from work or the money to continue to spend on repairs that I have no choice or control over. Please recall this problem. I have read hundreds of complaints about the same thing online when I researched my problem. Recall !!! Or do we have to get killed before you the manufacturer does that?
