While driving 45 mph, my car jerked and several lights came on in my dashboard including the light with the little wrench 🔧. In my dashboard, it displayed the message to check stabili track and steering power system and to drive with care. My car then started loosing power to accelerate. I had my vehicle towed to the dealership the next day and they stated that they cleared the codes but didn’t tell me what the codes were and they kept my vehicle for 5 days and said they couldn’t get the vehicle to act up. Now this issue has happened again and a message in my dashboard is saying to check the power steering and drive with care. I had no warning signs prior to this issue.

The issue started out as a warning from the side detection system. In the past week, the issue escalated to all the warning lights on the dash coming on, and then all electronics going dead/dark. The turn signal indicators have no lights and no sound, the radio system is dead, the speedometer and gas gauge are dead. After sitting a few hours, it seemed that things "reset" to just the side detection warning. Most recently, all the electronics are acting strange. Pushing the button on the door handle to unlock it, does nothing to the door lock, however, the display screen shows "tire learning active". When attempting the start the car by pushing the start button, nothing happens. If I put the fob in the slot inside the armrest, it will eventually start, but again all display functions are dead as is the environmental controls (no blower - no defrost- no good on a cold rainy day). Again the signal indicators are dark and silent. The indicator light for the airbags is now illuminated as well. Gm had a short lived (and seemingly secret) extended warranty for the side detection system have this exact issue when water got into the sensors, but that expired nearly a year ago. As this issue makes the car unsafe to drive, it seems that it should be a full recall to address this safety concern.

Side detention sensor alert came on a day or two ago. Today while driving numerous dash lights and alarms came on. I had no gauges and could not signal while driving. Had my daughter in car. Very dangerous. I had the sensors replaced a year ago which cost me over $1,000.

Blind spot detection system began to fail, indicated by the side mirror indicators remaining on even after the car was shut off. Dealer service center diagnostic test showed the battery was old. The problem progressed to the point where the instrument cluster would also fail - all instruments (speedometer, tachometer, etc.) would go dead, virtually all warning lights (traction control, ABS, air bag, etc.) would go on, heating system (including blower) would go dead and turn signals and hazard light would be inoperative. All of this would happen while driving, whether in city traffic or at highway speeds. Although the main operation of the vehicle has not yet been affected, there is no way to signal other drivers of a problem (no hazard light or turn signals) in the event of a larger failure. Research of online customer forums shows that this problem is common with the latest generation (2014 and newer) impala. The blind spot detection system is connected to the instrument cluster and this occurs randomly while driving.

Blind spot detection system began to fail, indicated by the side mirror indicators remaining on even after the car was shut off. Dealer service center diagnostic test showed a faulty left side detection module. The problem progressed to the point where the instrument cluster would also fail - all instruments (speedometer, tachometer, etc.) would go dead, virtually all warning lights (traction control, ABS, air bag, etc.) would go on, heating system (including blower) would go dead and turn signals and hazard light would be inoperative.

Research of online customer forums shows that this problem is common with the latest generation (2014 and newer) impala. Replacing the modules (and in some cases, also the wiring harness, which becomes corroded from the weather) seems to be a short term fix at best, as the design of the blind spot detection system exposes the sensors and wiring harness to road spray and rapid corrosion damage. Furthermore, the blind spot detection system is connected to the instrument cluster in a manner that eventually renders them inoperative as well. This occurs randomly while driving.

While driving vehicle on interstate after work a burning smell was noticed followed by the stabilitrak, ABS and service power steering lights came on, which made the vehicle very hard to turn. Took vehicle to a chevrolet dealership believing it was a recall due to research online, service department stated the recall was fixed so they reprogrammed it. Upon leaving the dealership, the brakes were grinding and all the lights came back on. Took back to service and it's taken 3 days for them to try and figure out what is wrong. They've now decided it needs a new steering gear. I've researched other 2014 impalas having a recall on steering gears but this vehicle is not listed? How is that? I feel it needs to be recalled and fixed since there's been previous recalls regarding the whole electrical steering system, steering modules, and steering gears. The service department is saying it is going to be $2,800 to fix.
