Sunshade failure. The sunshade runs back and forth on track to close or open cloth cover. While driving with 4 main windows I pushed button to open shade halfway down the line the shade got off track and you could hear plastic cracking noises. I stopped the shade and pushed it closed more cracking noises and the the whole cloth fell and hung blocking all rear view while on freeway at normal speed. I was able to pull over and slowly push and assist cloth back into car frame so it's not hanging but it no longer works as intended. This is known and per dealership ove 1k for new track and requires moonroof removal to repair. Not covered under warranty

Today was cold and snowing and I started up my car and the heaters and defrosts. I was in my car parked completely stationary when the rear window made a loud sound I looked back and it appeared broken. I stepped out of the vehicle and shut my door and the glass fell. Nothing hit it! I looked up and around nothing in sight, it basically exploded from the defrost button and the cold! I put a tarp on the what was a rear window, because of the snow and my leather interior as well as my touchscreen media center!

While opening the sunroof the sunshade dislodged from slider causing the copper metal retractable piece to snap loudly and hit me in the head aside from scaring me near death as I was driving down the highway. The sunshade now sags blocking the visibility of the rearview mirror as well the sunroof will not work as the sunshade can't open.

Service blind detection system. This warning came on after 1 day of purchasing my 2014 impala so I took car back and the dealer took it to chevy to fix the recall but I was told that they're to many miles on my vehicle. This issue needs to be fixed because I'm within my 15days if used vehicle warranty and if this issue continues this could cause other issues as I have read due to reviews on this issue. Because now it becomes a bigger issue and could cause lawsuits due to being not covered and with being out of the mileage coverage period could really destroy a company because it's just not safe. I would like more information and how this could be fixed because this is a new purchase and I haven't even had the vehicle 5 days and if this vehicle starts a electrical fire/ problem it becomes a bigger issue can you please fix my issue and make exceptions to this recall mess.

After starting car by remote, I attempted to drive, getting about 10 feet when I heard a loud explosion inside my car along with a bright flash. Stopping my car I looked around inside and out and saw nothing unusual. Getting out of vehicle, I examined my rear window and found it to be completely shattered.this occurred while attempting to pull out of my parking lot in my condominium complex. My theory is that it was a faulty rear window defogger.
