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
2014 Chevrolet Impala brakes complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 91, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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
I was driving in a snowstorm and all of the sudden the ABS, Stabilitrak, and power steering went out. I'm frustrated that this is the 2nd electrical safety issue that I have experienced. Both of which have been reported by several drivers and still no recalls!
Bad wiring harnesses causing brakes and antilock brakes to throw codes and fail. Abs and stable track fail and also cause car to suddenly go to low engine power mode while driving down highway. Replaced nearly every brake component plus vehicle computers and abs modules. Vehicle now throwing new codes serious at random. Main pcm computer replaced twice. Abs, brake booster, abs modular, master cylinder, 4 calipers, hoses, abs module and abs valve assembly all these components replaced twice at least. Vehicle was not a flood car.
The electronic parking brake fails to disengage entirely from the rear brake pads causing them to become welded together. This results in extreme heat, excess brake dust, poor acceleration, and caliper / brake line (air) issues.
The service power steering came in on the dash, also along with service stabiltrak and the abs light heard these are common and play together , mainly the service power steering which caused the vehicle to be become almost impossible to steer I heard there where recalls on this same situation as it is a huge safety concern . It makes it very dangerous in highway or roads as it is very hard to steer
Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Brake booster not regulating properly. This is causing the vehicle to not stop at a timely manner and a need to push brake all the way down for vehicle to eventually stop which is unsafe when driving. This has been confirmed by independent service center which has recommended to search for recall. No warnings or messages prior to issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle made a rattling sound when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact also stated that the vehicle would stall occasionally while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to chevrolet of homewood (18033 s halsted st, homewood, il 60430) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed by the mechanic that nothing needed to be replaced. The contact had the rotors replaced on the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to mike anderson chevrolet of merrillville (1550 e 61st ave, merrillville, in 46410) for a second diagnostic test. The mechanic was unable to provide a cause for the failure. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
When turning left the wheel locks up as it would if the car were sliding on ice. The stability track alert comes on. It becomes a problem when I'm driving in busy traffic and turning at an intersection because it'll just lock up and not let me go, stopping me in the middle of the intersection.
While driving, the ABS light and stablilitrak lights came on and the steering became harder than normal. Warnings on the dash advised that there is a problem with the stabilitrak and to service the power steering.
The car electrical goes haywire. All these alerts and pop up come on ABS lights. Stabillatrac. No power steering. Looked up issue it has something with a bad sensor in bumper. Very dangerous
I had noticed the epb light coming on intermittently, far more often than every 50 key cycles, and began experiencing a significant decrease in acceleration, poor braking, brake dust buildup, uneven tire wear, bogging down when the vehicle would shift and when accelerating out of a slowdown and/or turn. I would also constantly smell brake dust and tire rubber and felt my brakes would become extremely hot to the touch after short trips. I observed the outer rear brake pads through the caliper and there seemed to be decent pad left. However I took my vehicle to the dealership many times and was told every time that there was no need to replace the pads. I was never notified of any software flashes to correct any known or unknown issues, and was once told that my brakes needed to be bled and after having the dealership service them was told the issue should be corrected. I had friends and family with automotive backgrounds look at my brakes and tell me there seemed to be no visible issues. I finally decided to have a look myself one day. After hoisting the vehicle up, removing the rear tire and inspecting the caliper and pads, I realized that the epb had actually heat/rust-welded itself to the inner brake pad which was completely worn with no pad whatsoever. The epb was actually unable to retract, even though the light was off, because the metal plate on the back of the pad had been fused to the epb. I had taken it back to the dealer who refused to look at it again, and was inevitably tasked with correcting the issue myself. I have spent hundreds of dollars on new pads, rotors, caliper pins, grease, tires, etc. Because of the persisting issue. When I searched my vehicle by VIN it told me there were no recalls, but after searching by year/make/model I finally found the recall involving the epb causing drag after failing to retract. This issue continues today.
Steering, stabillitrack , and ABS affected the steering and ease of driving was disrupted and unsafe. 2nd occurence of this issue.
The car shuddered on initial start-up, turned it off waited for a minute. Restarted ran normally. The next day on start-up dic alerted to ABS, powersteering, and stabilitack in need of service, noticeable difference in steering control, wheel slippage on quick exhilaration, I tried to brake more cautiously so as not to test my braking ability. Definitely a safety issue. Should be recalled. Had the same problem a year ago spending $495. To have the opposite wheel hub and brg assembly. Hope this isn't an annual event. Love my car but hate expenses that should not occur with a car; especially under 100,000 miles. Why did this happen? There is nothing to blame it on such as hitting a pothole. The weather has been colder, there has been a reference to that as well as some say it is a wiring harness that is in a bad location, wearing exposing wires that make contact with metal. Research shows that other drivers are having the same issue and expense. How many complaints will it take before this safety issue is addressed and customers are refunded this unnecessary expense
My steering control light came on with no steering control, ABS system light came on, and stabilitrac light is on!
Failure in my stabilitrak, power steering, and ABS system! And it says there has been no recall on my car.
Driving on highway when my ABS and traction control lights came on causing my vehicle to lose steering control and braking.
The sunroof sunshade won't retract properly and the fabric hangs down so I can't see out my rear window from the rear view mirror. This happened while driving on the highway. I had to exit and park my car. The shade had issues closing however I was finally able to get it closed. Then a code came up with body control module / sunroof/sunshade actuator calibration not learned (symptom 4b) code: b369d. Also my parking brake engages without touching the button. It happens when I start my vehicle and the parking light on the dash is lit up. I have to disengage it. I will then hear my brakes rubbing on the rotors while driving and making my car vibrate while driving almost like the brakes are catching on a couple spots on the rotors.
Brought car to cook's brakes in portland, or because of rotational noises heard when braking. Mechanic confirmed the electronic parking brake piston actuation arm is not fully retracted causing the brake pads to stay partially engaged and prematurely damage the brake pads and rotors. The vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety systems (fmvss) no. 135 'light vehicle brake systems'. There is a danger of excessive heat and fire.
I was driving on the highway at night and and my power steering and stabilitrak ABS indicators came on and the vehicle became very difficult to turn/handle with out warning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the ABS and stability track warning lights illuminated. As the warning lights illuminated, the power steering ceased. The contact was able to restart the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The contact had to have the vehicle towed to the residence. The contact linked the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v450000 (steering) with the failure. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,496.
To brake my steering wheel turns to the right. I found mold in my trunk
When driving and while applying the breaks the breaks lock up and become hard there is also a air noise coming from breaks almost causing a collision on several occasions. When taking to the mechanic shop he stated it was a common problem and have has to work on the chevy malibu I feel there is a defect with the chevy breaking system. Also the blinker automatically turns on this has been happening since I purchased the car.
The vehicle had water damage from 'clogged sunroof drains', which cause water to run all down the side and back panels causing an extensive amount of damage from one horrible design flaw. Some of the things effected was electrical company's such as electronic parking break was engaged and would not release cause the vehicle not to move! Next was corrosion on several other inside wires having to do with steering and possibly air bags, but who knows if they will be effective until there is an accident and it's too late to find out if they are dmamged. Other safety features such as side detection was corroded so it too malfunctioned. There was a lot of other electrical things damaged but the car is in the shop and I don't know what else could be a huge safe concern. There is now so much mold which is dangerous to be breathing in if not totally replaced. There is an extensive amount of water in the spare tire wheel well that is causing rust and the inability to use this safety feature if needed! This became a horrible safety concern for myself and whomever my be traveling in my vehicle. Please do research into this because I could not believe this could happen to a car with only 70,000 miles! My car is in the shop so I cannot take any pictures of it! Please help!
Stabilitrak service notification on dash appeared along with lost power steering, ABS light and traction control light on.
I have a traction control light on, also the ABS light is on, and I get a stabilitrack warning.
Parking brake warning light stays on. Stationary. Gm recall #15259. Root issue electronic parking brake drag.
We I purchased the car they had changed the wheel bearings and since then I have had to take it back and have it serviced for the same thing several times. I changed out the hub assembly for the same problem and now just like before the traction control light is on and the ABS light. I don't know what else to do. I turned into our local walmart and the car just stopped and would not go.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet impala. The contact stated that the vehicle did not fully shift out of park. While driving various speeds, the contact heard a loud grinding noise coming from the brakes. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,860.
While engine running and vehicle is stationary and/or in motion the brake lights flash intermittently. Brakes do not engage, but it does cause cruise control to disengage. Saw a recall for this, but my VIN not included.
