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.

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.

The side detection modules behind the rear tires are failing and causing all electronics to fail. This module goes bad and the traction control, ABS, blindspot monitors, HVAC, airbags, headlights and gauges all go out. This happens when when driving and is erratic in its behavior. It also makes the gas pedal hesitate and the car becomes a huge safety concern. It seems like it is a common problem due to poor placement.

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?

2014 chevy impala - 50,000 miles - the vehicle will lose power when trying to accelerate. It will suddenly regain power and the engine will surge. On 8/20/18 I can to a stop at a stop sign in a residential neighborhood. I pressed the accelerator, but the car did not respond and almost stalled. I did not realize how far I was pressing the accelerator, and when the car regained power the front tires squealed from the resulting burnout. Luckily, I didn't run anyone over from taking off like this. A mother was with her child on the sidewalk and was not pleased with the way I was driving in an area where kids play. This car has had one problem after the other. I discovered a gm service bulletin pip5507b - "in ambient temperatures 100f or higher, vehicle may exhibit a hesitation or stalling condition - customers can be advised to utilize fuels with octane 91 or higher, refrain from idling, and only park vehicle in a covered garage. As long as you don't use this vehicle, you're fine. I can't believe this is a known safety issue and no recall. I guess someone has to be killed, first.

On a couple of different occasions I have been stopped at a stoplight or stop sign. When the gas pedal is pressed to accelerate, there is hesitation by the vehicle to accelerate causing the vehicle's act of acceleration to occur separately from the act of pressing the gas pedal.
