I get intermittent service stabilitrack, service brake assist, service traction control notifications where my odometer reading is as well as ABS and electronic stabilitycontrol illuminations almost immediately after shifting my vehicle into drive and turning and it is during motion. Also there is grinding and hard and difficult braking during these illuminations...
2014 Chevrolet Impala steering complaints
Page 5 of 6: complaints 101 to 130 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Power steering was lost, stability light came on - was told this was due to erosion - had repaired at my cost - extended warranty would not cover as techician stated my fault although apparently this area is not visible during normal service. Now the car twice has not started at all - all electronic sensors go dead. Have taken to chevrolet dealer and they are unable to determined what is wrong. At least every other time I turn on car, the stability light or steering light come on, as well as the park assist light. I wait for about 10 minutes or so, try again, and they may or may not go off. 2 - the rear view mirror fell off during the first month I purchased, so it was under warranty and they "re-glued) it several times - finally it was recalled, and replaced about 15 months ago, now the mirror is doing the same thing again. 3- last is the pillar trim - it peeled and I had to have replaced at my cost - this should not have occurred. I fear I have a lemon, but more importantly I am not receiving the service necessary from chevrolet dealer - I have maintained the service on my car through the dealer, but so many unanswered concerns leaves me at risk for accident should car just stop!

In addition, the ABS, power steering, and stabilitrak system indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to winegardner motor company (22675 washington st, leonardtown, md 20650, (240) 256-3959) where they informed the contact that the vehicle was serviced in 2014 per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v450000 (steering).

While driving on a rural road approaching a sharp curve my vehicle's control panel began to display service power steering drive with care and service stabilitrack messages respectively; immediately thereafter I began to experience difficulty with steering.
While driving power steering failed, leaving a very dangerous situation. For a car with only 74,000 miles it is unacceptable that the entire power steering rack should be replaced and only a dealer can reprogram that rack. It is a cost of over $3,000 and with a prior minimal recall I smell a larger quality issue.
Driving in highway and the power steering wheel becomes extremely hard to turn move it completely electric shut off it was in dangerous situation vehicle running and and can't even move the steering wheel dashboard showed power steering need service. Went to side of highway for few mins and went back to car and turn on work back to normal this will be the second time happen 1st was on the garage turn engine but steering wheel wont move at all verh hard...
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.

Electrical failures. I experienced a failure in my stabilitrak, power steering and ABS system on my 2014 chevy impala 2lt. This caused my vehicle to lose power steering, and ABS brake control, which while driving on a rainy surface (in ma today 3/2 the weather was insane) was not reassuring. I have read numerous reports of other people experiencing this issue as well. Chevy seems to have are recall open for power steering, but my VIN supposedly is not impacted despite me having a power steering failure. Many, many electrical issues with this car have been reported, and yet chevy does nothing to correct this clear safety concern. Thankfully the power steering system only partially reduced itself, and didn't completely fail or else who knows what would have happened. Very dangerous and disappointing that nothing is being done to protect people.
Abs and stability control lights came on 3days ago
My 2014 chevy impala has a power steering assist problem. On one occasion while driving, the vehicle lost power steering assist and it was hard to control. When I finally managed to drive in a gas station, parked for a while, the problem went away. After less than a month, the same problem occur when I had gone to my daughter's daycare to pick her up. I parked the vehicle in the parking lot, went in the class to pick up my daughter and when I returned to the vehicle my power steering assist was gone. It has been almost a year since I parked the vehicle waiting for a recall but it has not happened. The cost of repair is so expensive for a car with only about 40,000 miles on it. I surely deserve a recall for this problem asap.
While driving, the power steering, ABS and stabiitrak all became nonfunctional and the problem has persisted for about a week following the onset. This occurred while driving in a straight line, with no turning involved.

Power steering went out while I was driving.
I've had an issue with my 2014 chevy impala ltz getting locked up when turning the steering wheel. This started a few months ago, I took it to the dealership but they were unable to recreate the problem. The first incident occured 09/2017, I was driving on the highway going 60 MPH, upon switching lanes it felt like the steering wheel jammed and locked for a second and the electrical power went out on the radio and dash. The alerts then said "power steering drive with care' & "front camera' or something to that effect. This has happened various times since on city streets, another message I've seen has said something about stabilitrak. The most recent episode occured on 12/25/2017. I was driving on a city street and turned right and the steering wheel jammed and the radio went out and the same messages came up, I took a video this time so that the dealership can see what the issue is. I found that there is a recall on other 2014 chevy impalas for similar issues with power steering but when searching under my VIN number there is no recall on my car but I feel as though this is a mistake and my car should be recalled for this issue. This is a big safety issue and a big concern to me as I have two small children and almost crashed while on the freeway due to this issue. Luckily the other times this has occured I was on city streets not driving at a high speed but regardless it is still a safety hazard.
My impala 2014 was making a loud noise from, the rear of the vehicle as if it was the muffler. The noise could only be heard while I was inside the vehicle. I had my wife stand outside while I drove the vehicle down our street and the loud noise could not be heard outside of the vehicle. We could hear the noise once the vehicle reached 20 MPH. After getting the muffler checked we found out the muffler was in good condition., but shortly after the impala started making the loud noise we made a left turn at a signal light and the ABS, power steering, and stablitrak service lights came on the dashboard. The power steering has gotten increasingly worse since the service light came on.

My power steering quit working the stability light came on and it feels like my parking brake is sticking there's recalls for all these issues but when I type in my VIN it says there's no recalls for my car
The power steering went out while driving 65 MPH down the highway. I called a chevy dealership after doing research and I found out there was a recall on my car for the power steering. The chevy dealer told me that the recall had already been fixed. I feel there is a faulty part placed on my car during the "fixing of the recall" making the power steering go out again. The power steering should have lasted longer than two years.
